4th pokeball | action
Characters: John Egbert, his Pokemon, and you!
Setting: Floors 100, 95, 82, and 48
Format: action because i'm feeling lazy right now
Summary: Block five seems like as good place as any to start with exploring the new floors. Later, it's John's first night at his new job as a gravekeeper.
Floor 100:
[When John begins his exploration and suddenly finds himself in the Other House, he's understandably confused. Did he somehow make it back to Johto? But why here of all places? He hadn't set foot inside the Other House since the Other Father had disappeared back in November.]
[He'll spend a good while walking through this floor, calling for "Dad", Rose, Dave, and Jade. It's not until he enters the music room and attempts to lay a hand on his piano that he realizes something is not quite right here. Of course it's a fucking illusion, what was he thinking? He kicks at the wall, expecting his foot to go through it, only to find out that that was actually the wall of the room itself.]
Ouch! Dammit!
Floor 95:
[John's still in kind of a bad mood thanks to the 100th floor as he continues his trek down through block five. Not even letting Chandel out of her ball seems to have been enough to cheer him up, though the little candle is trying her hardest. Upon reaching floor 95, however, his face lights up.]
Holy shit!! [He immediately moves away from the stairs and dives in. Chandel squeaks a little in protest at being left behind, zooming through the air after her master and balancing herself on top of one of the balls, looking around and waiting for John to resurface. The two will be on this floor for a good hour or two, this is just way too much fun.]
Floor 82:
[Later on in the afternoon, John can be found on the fifth block's other ballroom, a Haunter mask slapped on his face. Even Chandel is now sporting a tiny, intricate, sparkly purple mask. The two are sharing a few giggles over it, though John is a little bummed that he doesn't have anybody to dance with.]
Floor 48:
[John didn't remember ever signing up for a job but he wasn't really complaining about it. He kind of missed his days working as a medical assistant in the various Pokemon Centers of Johto and Kanto. Sure, Gravekeeper was nothing like that but it didn't sound like such a terrible job. Even if he wasn't getting paid for it, it was at least something to do to help pass the time.]
[So later on that night, John can be found in the graveyard along with his Litwick and Dusknoir. The former seems to be there to provide him with a little light as he cleans some of the graves, while the latter seems to be some kind of watch-ghost, keeping an eye out for any strange occurrences, people, or monsters. It may appear as though he has a third pokemon out as well, but upon closer inspection it's actually the Haunter on his shirt...apparently it glows in the dark.]

Floor 95
He raises his eyebrow slightly. It is too fucking cold for this bullshit you know. The balls are probably cold like the rest of this stupid tower. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO JUMP INTO A ROOM FULL OF FREEZING BALLS.
John, you are five. It is you.]
What are you doing?
no subject
Going for a dip in the ball pit, what's it look like?
Floor 48
This kiiidddddd.
Though really we should be glad that she had actually deigned to leave her room today, but it seems right now that she wasn't gonna get much farther for the moment. When she gets to Floor 48, she spots the light of the pokemon and...vastly against her better judgment, approaches.
But thankfully, it's just John. That's a sigh of relief.]
John? What're you doin'? What's with the light show?
[Which is basically both her asking about the pokemon, and ripping on his t-shirt.]
Floor 95
[This'd be one Riku staring incredulously from the stares. John, what are you even doing, man?]
no subject
[The fact that she was also talking about his shirt with that comment goes right over his head because wow, his shirt is awesome. Why would you rib on it?]
Also she has the added bonus of making me look more like the role. What kind of gravekeeper doesn't have a spooky lantern or candle?
[A PRETTY PISS POOR ONE IF YOU ASK HIM.]
What are you up to then?
no subject
Apparently so! Pretty cool, isn't it? They put a Mario floor in too, [He jabs his thumb up towards the ceiling.] couple of floors up. I've been working my way down buuuuut I couldn't not spend a little time enjoying this one.
no subject
[He shrugs, wandering closer to the ball pit.]
You sure it's really safe to be goofing off in there? Knowing this place, there's gotta be a catch.
no subject
I guess that's more efficient than having to job hunt through the wanted ads in the paper in a shitastic economy.
[Don't mind her just kind of taking a seat to the side, somewhere between the Litwick and the Dusknoir.] To be honest, if they did give you a spooky lantern it'd probably eat your hand or make the shadows come to life.
[And at the question, she shrugs.]
Nothing really.
no subject
He's more than glad that John is enjoying himself though. He can enjoy it for Dave, who's become a crotchety teenager apparently.] Your echeladder for maturity is off the charts. Except not.
no subject
[He shrugs.]
Well if there is, I haven't figured out what it is yet. Seems like a regular ball pit to me. Well...except for how ridiculously deep it is. Really, it's more like a ball ocean.
no subject
Yeah and I'm kind of fond of my hand. So I think even if they do offer me one, I'll stick to Chandel. Much cuter and less bitey.
[He chuckles.]
Can't sleep?
[His Dave has trouble with that so maybe it's a Strider thing?]
no subject
Psshh. [He rolls his eyes.] You're missing out, man! The balls are great.
[Oops he just ducked back down inside them. Where he'll come back up, nobody knows!!]
no subject
Kinda gotta agree with you on that one. [She says, looking at Chandel with a little bit of a smile.] 'Course it's not much of a contest if we're comparing an ugly ol' bloodthirsty wannabe lamp.
[There was nothing cute about lamps, to be honest.]
I guess not. [She didn't really give that affirmation much thought.] Kinda hard to sleep in Doomsville, Tower Edition. Unless you can drop like a narcoleptic rock.
[Looking at you, Harleys of the universe.]
no subject
No contest at all. Kinda hard to be cuter than this. [He gives the Litwick an affectionate little nuzzle with the side of his index finger.]
Hehe, are you sure it's not just a Strider thing? My Dave couldn't sleep very well either. And Johto is about as far away from Doomsville as you can get. If you want though, you can borrow Slimer for the night. One hit of hypnosis and I personally guarantee you will be out like a light all night.
[This is said with the utmost confidence. Not only has he trained his ghosties to be the very best, but he's tested it on himself a few times.]
...though I can't promise he won't move shit around in your room while you're out.
no subject
John. Did you just admit to saying balls are great? Have you told Rose that? I think she'd really like to know this particular detail about you.
[He's gonna just stand at the edge and not go in. Nopes.]
no subject
[She expected something like this from Rose, to be honest. Maybe it's just an Egbert thing.]
Nah, I think I'm good on poltergeists. It's not like I have to get up for school anymore anyway, so I can basically sleep whenever the fuck I want. Always a plus side to bizarre kidnappings.
no subject
[Heh.]
Let's just hope those balls aren't radioactive or something. Still, I guess it looks harmless enough.
no subject
...I did not stop to think about them being radioactive though. But they aren't glowing and usually that's a pretty good sign of that sort of thing.
no subject
[Screw u, Jstri.]
But alright. If you ever change your mind, let me know. He really won't mind doing it.
no subject
[Buuuuurrrrnnnnn.]
no subject
[Shrug.]
But I guess we can cross radioactive off the list, unless they only glow in the dark or something.
no subject
no subject
[...And cue facepalm because Sora didn't even realize he was kidnapping her.]
no subject
Jump into the balls. Good bye. He is gone.]
no subject
[#actual siblings]
...Maybe if he doesn't make too much trouble I'll consider giving him refuge from Casa de Egbert.
no subject
no subject
[Just... have an utterly befuddled expression, John. What is this Sleeping Beauty you speak of?]
no subject
[I think you mean #best siblings]
I can't promise he won't cause trouble though. He's very good at that.
no subject
[#actual best siblings]
Maybe he causes trouble because he's lashing out over this horrible dishonor.
no subject
DISHONOR! DISHONOR ON YOUR WHOLE FAMILY. DISHONOR ON YOU. DISHONOR ON YOUR COW.]Oh nooooooo our ancestors are feeling this one!! How will I ever live down the shame of upsetting our cross-universal ectogoo family line?! My children's children will surely feel this shame were it not for the fact that I'm sure at least half of our family agrees with me so there.
no subject
[Did John actually win?]
[NO WAY.]
no subject
no subject
MUSHU--]Your half of the family is just about the biggest dishonor-mongering savages out there! Seriously, all that cake and gushes shit-- just about the disgrace of this already abominable cross-universal lineage. Paradoxspace doesn't even fucking know what it's doing thanks to Egbertian trickery.
no subject
[brb, submerging too. Totally going to find you.]
no subject
[John what.]
Your move, universe!
[No seriously, John. What.]
no subject
no subject
Strider Stoicism be damned, because she couldn't help but let out a laugh.]
All of that shame just for one pan-universal Prankster's Gambit. I dunno whether to say you're fucking stupid or diabolically brilliant.
no subject
There's a very thin line between the two, Jade. I happen to have one foot on each side of that line.
no subject
I dunno John, that's a dangerous line to be straddling there. You might end up getting splinched by space-time if you try and fuck with the balance like that.
no subject
What can I say? Dangerous guys such as myself like to live on the edge.
no subject
Oh yeah, totally dangerous, right-- don't you live in the middle of the suburbs or something?
no subject
No Shh, you forget. I spent two years roughing it out in the wilds of Johto! Fighting wild beasts and sleeping in caves and shit. I am basically a rugged adventurer now.
[This is a grotesque distortion of the facts.]
no subject
Roughing it in the wilds? Come on, there are ten year olds that probably dealt with more shit than you.
[Did catch a red gyarados and single-handedly stop a criminal organization, John.]
