first prank ≈ video.

[For a long time, there is muttering and shuffling, and no real discernible speech. Just a view from the ground of tree tops, green and bright in the summer weather, from where a New Feather's journal lays open.]

[If one listens closely, they may here complaints about Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan and fallen angels.]

[A moment later, a curious face swims into view of a boy with pale skin, blue eyes behind thick-rimmed rectangular glasses, and a shock of wildly messy black hair. His expression shifts quickly from curious to annoyed.]

Oh, that explains a lot.

[A disgruntled sigh.]

The script is blank!! Am I writing my own City of Angels, wherein Nicolas Cage has tiny useless blue wings??

[He sits back and falls mostly out of the journal's view.]

This movie is going to suck. Just sayin'.

[[ooc; Please check John's permissions post and let me know what you're okay with! Thank you. :>]]

Oh God it's the internet given physical form.

[Stares warily at the journal.]

It's a little less invasive than the internet, at least. But it's something like that. You can have one-on-one conversations just like IMs, or you can post and have it be like a message board where everyone can respond. [Wow she never thought of it that way.]

...Oh huh. That's kind of neat, actually. I'm pretty shitty at computers, maybe I'll figure out magic books and filters better.

The filters might take a little bit of time to get used to, but the journals are pretty easy. It's all laid out with buttons and everything. Pretty hard to mess up.

Yeah. It's sort of neat, now that I'm actually looking at it.

...oh, so I'm John, by the way.

Good to meet you. I'm Shiki. Welcome to Luceti. How far outside of the village do you think you are?

Probably not too far? I dunno. I'll let you know when I see civilization.

[The video feed shifts around a little while he actually stands up.]

Man, walking through a forest barefoot. Things I never really realized suck.

Yeah, they're pretty infamous for dropping us off in the plain white uniforms. If you make your way into the middle of town, you can stop by the main clothing shop and see if your stuff's there. Orrr if you want something better, you can come by All Passions.

Wait, they'd have my stuff? That seems kind of weird... What'd they do, strip me down and deposit me in the forest with wings, and then hide my shit? It's like some kind of weird freaky debasing scavenger hunt.

[Tilts his head.] All Passions?

Something like that. They do it with all of us.

[She sounds pretty proud of herself.] Yeah, All Passions. It's a clothing store that I run here. Customized threads, that sort of thing.

...Creepy.

[:O] Pretty neat. Maybe I'll stop by once I've got my stuff. I mean I can't really wear the same thing every day.

That's not even the creepiest thing they're capable of.

Not unless you're a cartoon character. [And in this thread, Shiki inadvertently breaks a lot of fourth walls.] Trust me, if I don't have something you like, I can definitely make it.

[Making a face, John opts to mostly disregard this creepy notion. Nope, ignoring the existence of the Malnosso for right now, okok.]

[And then he kind of cracks up laughing.]

Man, you know they do, don't they. Always the same outfit. Doesn't that get all smelly and gross???

You'd think so. I know when I had to wear the same thing for weeks it kind of got super-gross, but maybe the laws of cartoons are different. [John you are kind of precious.]

Bluh. That's really gross, man.

[And to think, later in canon that's going to be you, John.]

Just be glad you don't have to live that kind of life here. It'd be torturous to have to stick to just one outfit.

Well I wouldn't say torturous, so long as I could wash it. But I'm not really a fashionista.

You're in luck, because I am. Trust me, it's kind of my thing that keeps me going here.

...oh! Okay. [He might be a little apprehensive. She's not gonna go all Cardcaptor Sakura on him, is she?]

[Ah, she might.] You'd be surprised what a good outfit can do for your wings.

[Just don't start videotaping him in various outfits, he might get really freaked out.] Oh, right, the wings...

[He looks over his shoulder at them and flinches when he shifts them.] They're a pain in the butt. ...or spine, whichever you prefer.

The pain'll ease up after a while once you get used to them. All I can say is just don't sleep on your back for a while.
