yeah, we laughing like kids

WHO: John Egbert & Vriska Serket
WHERE: All over!!
WHEN: Today
WARNINGS: Language I guess
SUMMARY: John and Vriska are on a mission.
FORMAT: Brackets

[If you think Vriska and John are out on a date, you're wrong. Unless you count going out and collecting the necessities for a massive prankfest to be a date, which is precisely what they're doing right now. They've already hit up a couple of joke shops already and are in the process of making their way to another one. This isn't just small pranking they've got in mind. They've got a plan to prank as many people as possible, which means they need a lot of pranking material. Thankfully Vriska has been hoarding her money since she got in the City, both from her allowance and the spider breeding she's been doing. It's more than enough to make a living on by herself without having some regular human job. So what better to waste her money on than to make trouble for other people for own enjoyment? There is truly no greater money sink.]

Ooooooookay, according to the GPS there are two more shops that aren't completely out of our way. One's pretty close, but we'll probably have to use one of your human scuttlebuggies to get to the other one.

[She stuffs her phone back in her pocket, readjusting the bags she's carrying.]

[ John is excited, he's been planning some pretty big pranks for awhile now, but pranks on this scale need some planning, and some help. He's got Vriska to help him now, but he's thinking if the go for the big plan he's trying to hatch they might need a few more hands on deck. He's already certain Roxy will be more than ready to hop aboard on this pranking palooza, but he wonders if a fishy princess might be down with joining in on it too. The one problem is he knows that sometimes Vriska has problems with other people, and Feferi is a troll, so...

At some point during their outing he should probably drop the suggestion on Vriska to see what she thinks.

For now the biggest concern is getting all the materials, many of which he realizes they might not be able to buy at any normal joke shop. He's not really filled with confidence the next two they go to will have the items he wants, and wonders if he can improvise.

He's jostled out of his thoughts by Vriska's comment, however. ]

No way! Those are way too slow, we can just fly to the second one. Time is of the essence, Vriska!

[ It really isn't though. ]

And just where are we gonna put our crap while we're flying? We don't have sylladexes anymore, Egbert. But I guess if you want to carry them, I wouldn't have a problem with that.

[With Feferi it's a little tricky, after the whole one night stand feelings jam they had, but she's one of the trolls she actually gets along more with. If you can call arguing in almost every conversation getting along, anyway. At least most of those arguments are... playful? Whatever, she'll make it work even if it means avoiding eye contact with Feferi all day. Besides it's supposed to be all about the pranks.]

[ Arguing in almost every conversation is basically getting along with someone when it comes to Vriska as far as John's concerned. Besides he does that with Kanaya and still considers Kanaya a friend. He just wishes she'd stop harassing him about Davesprite. Besides, it's a chance for Vriska and Feferi to get on even better terms with each other!

... Maybe.

As for her comments. ]

I can carry a couple bags in the air with us! We just have to make sure they're closed tight so things don't end up falling out of them.

[Maybe John will finally understand that Kanaya does, in fact, fuss. Vriska was right all along!!! It's debatable if Vriska and Feferi will ever be closer than they are now, what with her blatantly avoiding her after she vomited feelings in her general direction. Vriska certainly doesn't want to be closer anyway.]

Alright, whatever, we'll fly then. But if anything falls you're the one who gets to fetch it, since it was your great idea and all.

[But flying's for later, because the closer shop is only one more street over.] So what else do we even need?

[ As much as he didn't want to admit it... yes, yes she does. In fact, John even told Kanaya that Vriska was right about her fussing. He hopes they never talk about that though. He doesn't wanna deal with Vriska gloating about that one. But jeez Vriska! Give the trolls a chance! ]

Pff! Like that is even gonna be hard to do.

[ John tries to think and glances down at the bags they already have. ]

Anything that will blow up without doing any damage. Like maybe something that'll burst more than actually explode?

I didn't say it was hard, but it will be a waste of time and I won't be the one wasting it. [God John keep up with her logic. Also she would absolutely gloat if she knew that, so it's probably better that she doesn't.]

We could probably rig something if we can't find anything. My area of expertise is doomsday devices but I'm sure I can dummy it down to a non-fatal or injury level, even if it defeats the purpose. What about water bombs? We could drop them from the top of the buildings, the ledges look pretty high, no one would be the wiser!

Well it's not going to happen in the first place, so it doesn't even matter.

[ Keeping that secret forever. ]

Water bombs are pretty good, but paint bombs would be even better! I did something like that once with water balloons, so it could definitely work.

We'll see about that. [She might jostle something out of a bag on purpose now. Quality girlfriend right here.]

Oh, that is pretty good. So we'll need to go by a craft store too for paint.

[ Vriska, you jerk! He is making you get that if he knows you did it on purpose! Or more they're going to get into a big, dumb argument about it. ]

Yeah, but lets get something that's washable and not permanent.

[That's only if he finds out!!! It will probably still end in bickering though.]

Why? You're already being an asshole by dropping paint on them, why not go the whole eight yards with it??

[ There's no way it's not gonna end in bickering. And hey look! Is that the store up ahead?

Also he's laughing at "the whole eight yards". Really, Vriska? REALLY? ]

Because I don't want to be that much of an asshole. There is a huge difference between dropping paint on them that washes off, and paint that will stain their clothing forever.

[R u d e as hell, tbqh!!!! Who the hell cares about nines anyway, nines are stupid.

But yes that is totally the shop that they're walking up to now.]

Ugh, you're just splitting hairs now! But whatever, we'll be "lesser" assholes and use non-permanent paint, even if they could just buy new clothes. Aren't humans all about buying new fashion and shit anyway?

[ Yes, John sees, and they they get a little closer he'll even grab the door and motion for her to go in first. ]

Some humans I guess? I actually don't really give a shit about fashion, and I like all the clothing I own!

[Sometimes a gentleman, but Vriska still doesn't understand all this polite etiquette so she gives him a weird look before stepping inside.]

Yeah, but we weren't going to drop a paint bomb on you, though it's starting to look like a very promising option.

[She breaks away to start perusing the aisles.]

[ One day maybe Vriska will learn that in human customs it is polite to hold doors open for people. For now John just ignores the look. ]

What? No hey! You can't turn my ideas against me.

[ Quickly following after her. ]

Says who? You should be flattered I think it's a good idea in the first place.

[Looking over the shelves of stuff for anything that draws her interest. At lot of it is just standard lame prank stuff. Not really stuff you could use on a grand scale like they were planning.]

[ Yeah most things you can get at a joke shop are more for individual pranking, but John's still rooting through things to see if they can get anything useful and not have to create too many of their own props. ]

I mean, I guess it's kind of flattering, but still!

[Implying that Vriska wouldn't love to devise a bunch of pranking props. That sounds like a great use of time, honestly.]

Of course it's flattering. [She peeks around an aisle to grin at him.] Maybe if you stop ruining my fun, I'll reconsider pranking you.

[ John can't necessarily disagree with that thought process. One day they should just open their own joke shop with a more creative range of pranking tools!

He's snorts at that comment. ]

No way, I am all about ruining your fun.

Woooooooow, rude.

[She rolls her eyes, though the effect is always lost these days, disappearing back down her own aisle.]

Isn't that the opposite of what you're supposed to do?

[ Totally lost, he can't tell she's rolling her eyes at all. But he does pick up on her tone at least. ]

No way, all I am supposed to do is be out here for my own fun!

Is that so? Then you can prank the city on your own and I won't help you at all!! How about that?

What? No way! I mean, that'd still be fun probably but it'll be a lot more fun if you're there with me.
