4th Purification: Crank Dat Solar Boy (Backdated to April 2nd)

[sunnydwithagun]

(Django hasn't delved into the world of pranking before, but he feels he's off to a good start. As such, he'll just proceed with the other names in his list! He apparently has a knack for sneaking into people's houses, so that's just what he'll do!)

For sinistraljoker

(Welp, here he is: prowling your house while you're asleep. Don't mind Django here as he replaces your shampoo with one of the finest products the supermarket has to offer. Don't worry; Django only buys the good stuff.)

For kettchmeifyoucan

(Since you're a natural prankster, Django's had a really hard time trying to get through your defenses. It suddenly hit him when he was enjoying some apple pie... [BEWARE THE FORESHADOWING!]

So whatever may have happened, the Solar Boy has managed to sneak into your place and put together a fancy little contraption to overwhelm your face with one of Django's homemade apple pies when you open one of the doors in your house. What can he say? The kid loves apples.)

For thebeastwithout

(To Django, this scenario pretty much looks like this. The name alone implies some sort of shapeshifting, but if he had animal senses...then this would be a lot of trouble.

So here he is, keeping lookout for this great beast he assumes to be guarding the house. It'll be rough trying to sneak in, but the Solar Boy never gives up!)

Action: Around town

(Juuuuuuuuuuust in case anyone wants to bother Django while he's out doing...whatever he's doing. He's not too much fun without occasional people to troll him.)

Comments

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[Well, no way to really avoid having to open a door. A fact that he has used before. He swipes a finger through the goo on his face and decides to taste it.]

Not bad...

[sunnydwithagun]

(And there was Django, tapping on the window and offering a towel.)

No hard feelings?

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Nah, this is one of the better ones I've seen today.

[He pulls out a card and starts scribbling]

[sunnydwithagun]

(Slight concern over the card, but he'll continue the conversation since he doesn't want to be rude.)

Thank you. This is certainly an interesting holiday, isn't it? We have nothing like it in my home.

[sinistraljoker]

[If you were to peek into Shoutaro's bathroom right now, you'd see a lot of steam, and here the humming of some jazz tunes. Welll......that is until he gets to the mayo into his hair.]

WHAT THE!?

[sunnydwithagun]

(Django definitely appreciates some jazz! Nothing wrong with a little cultural diversity here and there.

The Solar Boy stifled a laugh as he placed a bottle of actual shampoo on the window sill and tapped on the glass, sneaking out of sight. On the shampoo bottle is a note that says the following:

"April Fools, I suppose! This holiday is actually more enjoyable than I thought it would be.

I assure you; this shampoo is real. It'll get that mayonnaise out in a jiffy.

- Django" )

[sinistraljoker]

I'm beginning to really hate this town...

[He takes the shampoo, not feeling anger towards whoever did that, but towards this week in general.]

[thebeastwithout]

[Animal senses are a-go. Beast Boy had taken to sleeping outside the house; the idea being, of course, that no one who didn't know he could transform into an animal would recognize him. Ideally, he would spend the week as a beetle, but that was pretty lame and dumb and also boring.]

[sunnydwithagun]

(Wonderful...dogs. Always dogs. He had to be extra quiet around them. He wondered why this one was green, but given Mayfield, he didn't ponder for long.

Still, he had to be careful to not make too much noise and to also not let the dog catch his scent. He doesn't seem to be on this side of the house, so Django climbs over the fence and tries to find an open window to hop into...or at least, an unlocked window he could open.)

[thebeastwithout]

[The ground floor windows are all locked. Since getting the house to himself, Beast Boy spends as little time in it as possible and definitely no time at all on its maintenance. Django will probably have better luck trying one of the doors.]

[sunnydwithagun]

(Well that plan's definitely out...though he was able to see that the house could benefit from a cleanup. Perhaps he'd help out with that after the prank event was over.

Doors never seemed subtle enough for missions like this, but unless he wanted to climb to the top of the house, he'd have to try at least one of them. Perhaps the back door would be the more viable option; he's going to try it now...)

[thebeastwithout]

[The door is locked, too!!! It looks like he'll have to break a window!

...But wait! What's this? The door is locked, but there's something taped to it.

Cyborg's rocket + Klorbag Valblernelk | [giant picture of blue monkey]

Looks like Beast Boy loses his keys so much that he needs to remind himself where he hides the spare. There's nothing like a puzzle to break up the monotony of a stealth game, right?]

[sunnydwithagun]

(Absolutely! Django's all about the combination of puzzles and stealth. He has Mr. Kojima to thank for that!

Pictures of blue monkeys and rockets belonging to this "Cyborg" character...Clearly, he'll have to take a look around the area before he can solve this riddle! The immediate thing to do would be to check out the backyard...or preferably, the outer perimeter of the house. Django's thinking there's an obvious clue that he may not have seen the first time.)

[thebeastwithout]

[Clearly, it is a riddle thought up by the most fiendishly complicated of minds.

Checking out the entirety of the backyard doesn't reveal anything too interesting. There are two trees, a (dying) flower garden, a lot of (unmowed) lawn, and a birdfeeder. For some reason, there is a welcome mat to the back door, but checking underneath it reveals nothing except a lot of dead bugs. There's also a partially deflated soccer ball. The fence enclosing the yard is lined with pine trees on the other side.

Going around the outer perimeter will reveal a third door! It seems to lead into the garage. It is locked, too, and also partially blocked by a big box that probably has something to do with electrical wiring or sewage or whatever.

Around the side is a ladder left leaning against a tree and a rake that's probably been there since last fall. Around the other side is a large bush that needs to be pruned. ...The front... Well, that's where Beast Boy is snoozing, so it's probably not a good idea to check up there.]

[sunnydwithagun]

('Tis a foul riddle indeed, but Django shall overcome it...somehow.

The house is in worse shape than he initially thought. Django will absolutely have to help him with this after the prank wars are over. He has to wonder if the clues are hidden underneath all of this mess...

...but searching through all of that would take much too long. Instead, he's going to check the upper windows if any of them are opened. He might be able to manage using the ladder if that were the case. He also wants to check that box blocking that way to the garage door. Maybe there's something in there he can use to help him out!)

[thebeastwithout]

[The stepladder is a little too short to reach the upper windows, though the roof is slanted such that if Django was willing to brave a big vertical jump and a desperate claw to safety, he might be able to reach it. The big box-like thing does not seem to be able to be opened! It is probably inadvisable to do so. There are warning signs all over it. No doubt it is filled with bees or rabid naked mole rats or just a lot of electrical wiring.

In the front yard, a sneeze can be heard. Is Beast Boy awakening?!]

[sunnydwithagun]

(Django thinks he could reach the roof if he tried that. He wants to look around for these clues before attempting that, though; rockets and blue monkeys must mean something...

...but that sneeze alerts Django and he quickly presses himself against the wall. No sudden movements or noises! He's going to peek around the corner to keep an eye on the green dog.)

[thebeastwithout]

[The green dog is snuffling adorably under his tree. Spring allergies, maybe. It yawns a little and stands to stretch.]

[sunnydwithagun]

(Spring seems to have that effect on people. Dogs, too. Thankfully, Django's outdoors enough to not have to worry about that.

He'll remain motionless as he watches the dog do whatever it's about to do. Can't give away his position yet!)

[thebeastwithout]

[Hm. As he continues watching, the dog... raises a hind leg... towards the tree...........]

[sunnydwithagun]

...

(Now that Django has returned to the backyard, he's truly considering climbing up to the roof. Perhaps he'd at least find a clue about the rocket up there! It makes sense, right? Stepladder in hand, he slowly positions it against the house and ascends the steps. He might not be able to reach it the first time, but he makes that first jump...

...and just barely misses the ledge. Maintaining his balance like this is tricky, but it'll only get worse the more he tries. The second attempt lets his fingers feel it, but on the third jump...he has a hold!

Unfortunately, he might have made more noise than he wanted to, jumping up and down like that, but at least he was finally on the roof! He enjoyed standing on the roof of his own home; it let him feel closer to the sun...but now wasn't the time for that. He has to investigate the rooftop for something that could help him...)

[thebeastwithout]

[Django has successfully bypassed all stupid riddles with his shortcut! Barely any of the second floor windows are locked. He'll have to cut through some screens to get inside, but he probably came prepared for that.

The sound of barking from the front, though, resounds.]

[sunnydwithagun]

(Though Django prefers actually going through riddles, he doesn't mind finding his way around this time. Because there's always one way to make it through, right?

Though the dog barking makes him worry; he might have to speed things up a bit. Thankfully, he is prepared for those pesky screens; a knife to cut through them and the money to buy a replacement. This might unfortunately be a clue to leave Beast Boy wary if he sees it, but he'll have to make due. He'll start quickly cutting through the screen and once Django makes a large enough opening, he'll swing right in! Here's hoping he doesn't land in more trash...)

[thebeastwithout]

[!]

[Django may want to hurry! That barking is certainly getting louder! He lands in what seems to be a drone's bedroom, as it is obviously far too neat for Beast Boy.]

[sunnydwithagun]

(Oh man, gotta do this fast! Django rushes on over to the bathroom to commit the prank he set out to complete in the beginning: spike the toothpaste with the strongest hot sauce available in the general store.

It's a delicate process since he doesn't want to leave a trail behind, but with the trap set, the Solar Boy returns to the drone's room, climbing through the window back up to the roof so he could flee the area by hopping across rooftops.)

[thebeastwithout]

[Django leaps onto an adjacent roof just as a green dog sleepily meanders into the backyard, still barking loudly. Beast Boy yawns a little before flickering back into human.

...Weird. Where did that ladder come from?]

[sunnydwithagun]

(Such a shame that he couldn't cover his tracks better, but at least Django managed to set the prank as he wanted to. All that had to be done now was to wait...

Despite how filthy the house looked, Django at least hoped Beast Boy would at least brush his teeth on a daily basis. Boy, he really knew nothing about the guy...)

[thebeastwithout]

[The ladder, the cut screen... Everything was too suspicious! He just knows someone's been messing around inside.

......Haha, as if anyone would mess with his hygiene stuff. That would be the last thing someone would touch. It's not as if he ever used it.

It will take a while, but eventually, Beast Boy will decide to meet up with Tara. And that means...]

Eugggggh. What is this stuff?! Pepper flavored toothpaste?
