6th Hat

[Well, anyone who knows Dad probably saw this coming a mile away.  Delicious chocolate-based baked goods?  Yes please.  He bought a big heaping helping from some of the drone kids that morning, and can be found in several places in Mayfield suffering the band candy's effects during the events of the weekend.]

[Action; around Mayfield]

[Being the grandson of a legendary prankster himself, Dad has always had a certain affinity for jokes, gags, japes, and shenanigans, going back even further than trying to please his son John by filling the house with harlequins.  In fact, one could say he was even more serious about this hobby in the carefree days of his youth.  Back when clowning seemed like a pretty attractive and realistic long-term career aspiration.  Watch out, citizens of Mayfield, there's a prankster on the loose!

So today, all throughout town, Dad can be found looking much like
this, except with the addition of a jester's cap in place of his normal hat.  He's playing all sorts of practical jokes on anyone and everyone he can find.  Besides throwing a lot of pies, this also includes just about every silly Looney Tunes style prank you could imagine - buckets of water perched on doorways, ringing doorbells and hiding in the bushes, lighting smoke bombs and putting them in peoples' mailboxes, replacing their doorbells with the prank kind that shoot water... all that sort of thing.]

[Action; Achewood Bakery]

[Later on in the day, Dad decides to actually show up for work.  And it looks like he's
brought someone with him.  He'll still be doing his job... more or less.  You're just going to have to get past the fact that the two of them are spending most of the day making out on top of the bakery counter.  Oh, and anyone who orders cookies?  Regardless of how hot and heavy things are getting on the counter, Dad finds the time to pull a pie seemingly out of nowhere and throw it in your face.  Pies and cakes are superior to cookies - geez, everyone knows that.]

((OOC: Anyone who picks the bakery prompt may get tags from either Dad, Mom, or both.))

Action - Bakery. Implied pie throwing from before alright?

Astral hasn't been to the Bakery yet, but it was on the list of places to check- especially since he is quickly finding that things that taste good tend to be baked.

Or so it seems.

...There seems to be something on his face though.

[Here John was just minding his own business when suddenly PIE OF FUCKING NOWHERE. In retrospect, it was his own fault for letting his guard down. But two can play at this game, old man! John immediately went out and purchased some pies of his own, and set about hunting down his father intent on revenge.

His first stop: the Achewood Bakery, Dad's personal armory. John kicks open the door, fully intent on delivering delicious baked retribution...]

[...and sees his Dad and Rose's Mom on the bakery counter, tongue-wrasslin'.]

Oh fuck!
originalnumber: (What- Me?)

-yessss-

[personal profile] originalnumber 2012-03-03 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
AHH-

He recognizes you! "AH-" And is now regretting coming in.

"...You threw a pie at me earlier!"

...Oh that's CREAM on his face..!

[Does it help that Mom is wearing a wizard hat? No, it probably doesn't...]

Awww, did he come back for second helping? Should I step off and let you boys have it out?

[She reaches for the bottle of gin on the counter and settles in for the show.]

"...Admittedly, it was quite delicious." ...BUT.

"...That does not explain why it was thrown, however. ...Is it some sort of human custom?" Astral. Astral no.

Don't leave yourself wide open for responses that aren't true-
originalnumber: (Hey. Did you know.)

[personal profile] originalnumber 2012-03-03 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ahh. It must not be used in Japan then." Yep.

He is totally buying it. "It seems to waste quite a few pies however..."

[DAMMIT JOHN KEEP YOUR COOL]

I'm calling you out, old man! But uh, Mrs. Lalonde, you should probably get out of the way, I don't wanna pie you by mistake or anything. Rose would be pretty pissed off at me.

"Aaah- incredible! It's no wonder I was unaware..!" These things he is learning in Mayfield! He should try it himself if it's only proper! ...But.

"...However, I am unable to bake." CURSES.

Alright boys, have it your way.

[But Dad still gets a kiss from his gal.]

That's for luck.

[And she'll follow them out to watch.]

"Would you be able to tell me where I can find one, perhaps?" Oh 'Dad'.

'Dad', what have you started.
originalnumber: (This isn't that bad actually.)

"Aah. Thank you." In the meantime, he'll be looking at the things here.
ooeeooahah: (ARGH!)

Action - around Mayfield

[ How the heck did he get the bucket of water rigged over the front door? At least Ilsa was able to dodge the bucket itself, if not the water. ]

'da'ell?!?!

[ Casually dressed for the day, Ilsa is soaked from head to waist. ]
