1ST WINDY THING

[ghostytrickster]

[ John stammered back. An almost lightness to his step. The flick reaper armor was much too big for him and he looked displaced and awkward in it. He was trying to sort things out. John moved in animated and almost cartoon like motions as he paced (he wished he could float) nervously. His steps a little too wide, his arms swinging a little too widely. Think John, think. ]

[ He does a quart turn. A fist turned side wards slammed into an open palm when he figures it out. ]

I'm in the wrong video game!

[ BRB FREAKING OUT. ]

[She didn't actually hear him say that. Fortunately, this allows her to skip repeating the last time she tried talking with a newcomer.]

Are you all right?

[ghostytrickster]

[ Well. Okay. but he did. ]

[ Ooh. Okay! Girl. Wow! He hasn't actually seen a proper person face to face since he met Rose and she got all ooky-spooky on him. ]

Sort of! I know this is weird sounding, but would you believe me if I said that we were in the wrong video game? But this place is okay I guess!

[mercuryangel]

...

[welp, maybe not.]

Video game? I've heard this place is a game, but I don't know what that means.

[minetodecide]

(Who's that? He's way too noisy, probably new here too.....)[Ryusei recalls when he first arrived and his freaking out confused state of being.]

Tch!

[Ryusei walked over to try and help the poor boy. He tried getting his attention but to no avail, he was too panicked. Ryusei rolled his eyes and decided to try a different approach. With one hand he grabbed the other boy by the back colar of his armor and hoisted him up.]

If you don't relax you're going to get yourself hurt.

[ghostytrickster]

[ Oh. HEY. THAT WAS RUDE. ]

I feel very uncomfortable with you hoisting me up like this! Even if you're commandeering some fine - Top Gun poses! Please don't hurt me. If my friend Dave comes, you should mug him instead! He has more boonbucks!

[minetodecide]

[Ok maybe picking him up was a a bit rude, but it was so he'd get his attention] Mug? Relax, I'm not here for money. (What's a boonbuck?) I've been trying to get your attention for the past five minutes.[Ryusei gently puts him back on the ground]

l o l John.

[hoperaider]

[This is about when Jake finds the poor boy.

...Dude, you look an awful lot like him. This is kinda trippy.]

I say, dear boy, calm down a bit!

[ghostytrickster]

[ WHAT IS THIS. ]

[ WHY DO YOU HAVE HIS FACE. ]

British me! I'm in the wrong video game, and there's a british me! This is like the Parent Trap, except you are not Mary Kate Olsen! I want a refund!

[hoperaider]

[HOLY SHIT IT'S LIKE THE HOMESTUCK VERSION OF ROXAS AND VENTUS. Ryuu, keep your Kingdom Hearts out of the Homestuck fandom, gawd.

The face you see in the icon is the face Jake is making at the British Me comment.]

Excuse you, but I highly doubt that I'm you at all. Excellent movie reference, though, I have to admit. [Frown. Maybe an introduction will help?] My name is Jake English.

[lookslikemomo]

...Uh. What?

[blinkstare]

[ghostytrickster]

I'm in the wrong video game!!

You know when you play a video game that actually decides the fate of the world and there are meteors hurling towards you unless you play it right? And there is Ectobiology and world saving and stuff. This is not that video game!!

[ Talking really fast. ]

[lookslikemomo]

There are other video games where people are-- what's Ectobiology?

[going to just. look at you with a very confused look.]

[miraculousfate]

[She hears yelling. And freaking out. And for once it's not Hope. Or Lightning. Or Snow. Or Sazh. Or Fang.

... Her friends like to yell a lot okay don't judge her.]

Are you alright?

[ghostytrickster]

[ no its okay. he has one friend that talks in all caps all day, erryday. he understands all this yelling. ]

Um. Not really! I'm sort of not where I'm suppose to be, but at the same time it's sort of the same situation!

[galaxiapride]

[Meta Knight would raise a brow if half his face wasn't covered like a creeper.]

I wasn't aware there was a right video game to be in.

[ghostytrickster]

[ stranger danger, stranger danger. ]

Well. If we could be in another awesome video game, that would be loads better!! Like the ones that get top stars on Gamebro. That Call of Duty game looks very swell. I wish my current avatar looked more like Nic Cage.

[galaxiapride]

[What a weird kid]

This isn't all fun in games, kid. For all we know, game over here is truly game over.

[tank_sniper]

[...She actually hesitates before approaching him. It's not her problem. Not at all, really.

...But having been in the same position not long ago, she can kind of understand why the kid would be freaking out. So, with a slight reluctance, she changes her course and walks up to him.]

You, too?

[ghostytrickster]

[ OH SHE CAN RELATE. INTO MY ARMS. ]

Did you used to play SBURB too? Were you part of a different session?

[resipiscence]

[ just passing by, when--

... this is actually pretty amusing to watch. ]

So, I take it that this doesn't happen often?

[ghostytrickster]

[ ........................... you don't understand his life. ]

No. But it's happened twice. Maybe I am lucky? Like you know how people sometimes transfer schools a lot?? Maybe it's like that. Only instead of schools, it's video-games-that-are-actually-reality.

[knitwit]

[ Insert an amused Rose Lalonde off in the distance, watching the comedy act go on. She'd prefer Who's on First? any day compared to this, but it was a good sight nonetheless. ]

...

[ Rose seems to have gotten lucky with her poofy shorts and oversized hat. She'd take those, for sure. ]

Adapt, John. It's what you do best, after all.

[ A wise voice in the wind like Rose was Grandmother Willow. ]

[ghostytrickster]

[ he knows that voice?? sort of. it's complicated! because the last time they met for the first time she was talking in gibberish. and complicated stuff!!! ]

- Rose! You're here too!

[ He makes his way across. Armor clanking with every step as he makes his way to pull her into a hug. ]

AND YOU'RE NOT TALKING IN GIBBERISH!!

[adarable]

Video.. game?

[ headtilt. for as long as she's been in here, she. doesn't actually know what a video game is. ]

[ghostytrickster]

[ John is quite dense and doesn't understand this confusion. ]

Yes! I'm in the wrong one.
