[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?]

[Granny gives up the glare just for a moment to roll her eyes. And try to shoo him with the broom.]

Ain't any better the second time around.

[Good grief, woman, what do you want from him? Desperation's kicking in now; he's effectively killed any element of surprise he ever had. He's taken a couple of involuntary steps back at the broom shooing, and now he's just sort of standing there like an idiot. An idea, one borne of desperation, occurs to him.

The annoying rubber-suited monster is now performing a rather awful dance. Perhaps it is the mating dance of the rubber-suited monsters. Perhaps it is a celebratory dance of the rubber-suited monsters. whatever it is, it's pretty terrible. Hajime can't move around in the monster suit too well, but he's trying (and failing) to get down with his bad self anyway.]

[She's back to just glaring. Maybe if she keeps it up the rubber will realize it should be ashamed of being part of this display and melt.]

What're ye even tryin' to accomplish by that?

[Between the burning heat of his own shame and the normal heat of being in a stupid rubber suit, Hajime had been writing off the rapidly rising suit temperature. He's about to answer Granny with...some witty remark he hasn't thought of yet, when he realizes that the suit is starting to smoke. And melt. It has felt the proper amounts of shame.

Any thoughts of how else he could possibly get some reaction other than annoyance out of this old woman are swept away in the realization that HE IS ON FIRE OR AT LEAST SMOKING BADLY. It doesn't take him but a millisecond to decide that he'd rather do something about that than attempt to salvage this prank, and so he does the first thing he can think of--run towards the lake (and away from Granny).

Thing is, this monster suit wasn't built for running and certainly not when small flames are starting to break out in various places. Hajime trips over the monster suit's feet and goes rolling head over heels. The monster suit's googly-eyed head goes flying, but fortunately for Hajime, he rolls right into the lake itself.]

[Granny does watch to make sure he's not about to drown or anything of the sort. She has certain responsibilities, after all.]

I ain't a fan of foolishness. I'd suggest ye keep that in mind.

[After a bit of frantic, splashy swimming, Hajime manages to drag himself into a shallow area of the lake, where he's lying on his back, panting. Is he going to try anything else on that old lady? Heck no.]

No foolishness. Right. Never again.

[Prank Status: Abject Failure.]

Let that be a lesson.
