03 - Prankfield: Joker Learns to Prank

[chalicejoker]

[A - 2239 Stevens]

[Hajime, realizing that there is far, far too much shame involved in pranking people, has decided to disguise himself for some of his pranks. (For one thing, he'll be going after a harmless old lady, how awful.) He wants the costume to be ridiculous enough to contribute to the overall ludicrousness of the prank and to be memorable enough that people focus on the costume and not him.

Anyone nearby 2239 Stevens will have seen him furtively carrying large amounts of rubber mats into the garage. He may dart outside for some thing or another that he's forgotten, and he won't make eye contact. He's also stolen a variety of his not!wife's sewing supplies. Housemates may be able to get into the garage, where you'll find him trying his masterpiece on, although the head's not finished yet.]

[B - Anywhere]

[With the monster suit finished, Hajime isn't actually sure he wants to go through with wearing the stupid thing. He just might try a few little pranks without it first...or he might cave and break the stupid thing out anyway. At the moment, he's wearing a trenchcoat, and he's got various pranking supplies hidden in its various pockets...even though he may not really know how to use them all effectively yet.

His focus on trying to find his own targets also leaves him ripe for the pranking, should anyone who's been assigned him spot him wandering the streets.]

[C - 848 Goldberg Street, that night, locked to Malcolm Reynolds]

[How convenient of you to sleep up on the rooftop, Mr. Reynolds! You were a hard man to find during the day. There is now a short man in a bad googly-eyed monster suit skulking around the house...and he has a makeshift slingshot. And water balloons.

INCOMING! The "monster" is now firing water balloons at Mal's sleeping form. His aim is quite good.]

[D - The lake, locked to Granny Weatherwax, forward-dated to the next day]

[Hajime has saved his most shameful target for last. Really, Mayfield, having him prank a harmless old lady? Still, it should be easy enough. He's once again wearing the monster suit (which may or may not have been repaired depending on how his other pranks go), and he's currently hunting for his target. When he sees Granny, he's just going to jump out and wave his arms around while making generic monster noises. Should be easy enough, right?]

(It bothers her when things like this are unfinished, okay? She can't leave any design or costume unfinished, no matter how unsalvageable it is.)

Just make sure you get a few good pranks in before this is all over.

(With the eye back in place, she returns the mask to him.)

[chalicejoker]

That was my intention.

[He takes the mask from her, inspects it, and puts it on. The effect is...less than terrifying. He looks like small children should be beating him up at birthday parties. He can see well enough out of it, at least.]

You should make sure to get at least one in, as well. It would be shameful to die from such a thing.

[suicidoll]

I'll be sure to do so. It'll be a long day, so eat while you still can.

(She'll refrain from saying anything this time since one of her dolls pulls her attention away for a moment, but Kreutzer returns with an idea.)

You know, posing as a monster means you'll need to have some sort of powers to intimidate others. Perhaps you'd like to borrow one of my dolls for this purpose?

[chalicejoker]

I had a couple of sandwiches before starting this task. They should be enough.

[Kreutzer? Being nice to him? While there's a prank war going on? SOMETHING IS HORRIBLY WRONG. He's warily eying the doll, which he wouldn't trust even under better circumstances.]

I still have all of my fighting skill, even with this ridiculous costume. I appreciate the offer, but I'll be able to take care of myself.

[...and now he figures he should be polite, just in case.]

...would you require any assistance from me and my...ah...

[He gestures to the costume. He's not doing this just to be nice, if she takes him up on it, he's got a very specific price in mind...]

[suicidoll]

(That just might be a menacing look on her face, but it's hard to tell with someone like Kreutzer; she's always planning something.

Though she's genuinely curious when he makes his offer. He's after something, but she'll see how far this goes.)

I might. What's your asking price?

[chalicejoker]

The bed. All to myself.

[Pause. He doesn't think he's going to get it FOREVER and she's still got those blasted dolls...he removes the mask in order to make it easier to negotiate.]

For one night.

[suicidoll]

(A relatively small price, but a surprising one nonetheless. She nods in understanding.)

I can accept that. I shall inform you when I need your services.

[chalicejoker]

[He nods. Bed! Score! Seems he priced out his dignity rather cheap, but it's been weeks since he's slept in a bed. Stupid couch...he should really boot one of the kids out of their room one of these days.]

Just let me know. You'll probably be able to find me.

[suicidoll]

I'm sure I will.

(She waves lightly as she begins making her exit.)

Have fun~

(And so, Kreutzer and her dolls leave to begin the first day of the prank wars! Such fun this will be for them!)
