[ACTION] Prank of the Week + Options

[laughafterme]

LUNCHTIME

[Remember that prank from ages ago? Well, the pink gorilla strikes again! This time, everything has bells attached to it. At least five. Sometimes ten. But anytime anyone moves anything in the cafeteria, there will be a little jingle of bells.

Meanwhile, the pink gorilla is just chilling at a table, reading a romance novel titled 'The Crashing Waves of Desire'. Nothing to see here.]


DINNER TIME

[Pinkie Pie, as herself, is in the noisy cafeteria, reading the same romance novel as that gorilla. She looks very intrigued and...at times confused. But mostly intrigued. In her distraction, she lifts up a granola bar, bells attached, and slooooowwwwwwly brings it towards her mouth.

Almost...there...




Just...a bit more...

And a bite is taken, which Pinkie munches on slowly. Man, this book must be good!]

dinner

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[Sharpay sits across from Pinkie, looking at the cover of the novel. Wait, she recognizes that one...]

Oh, I love that book!

[laughafterme]

[Pinkie looks over the book and at Sharpay. When did she get here?!]

Oh, really? Who did it?! [Because this book is mysterious to her.]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[Not too long ago, but cov-ops trains ninjas.]

Who did... what? ["It" is not the pronoun Sharpay would have used in that sentence about that book. "Who did whom?", maybe.]

[laughafterme]

[...Pinkie Pie is a NINJA!!!]

It! [She looks to Sharpay in earnest.] Whatever it is. Did they do...it? I mean, this book is pretty interesting, but when they get to certain areas, things get WEIRD! I don't understand what they're saying at all!

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[Sharpay tilts her head. Oh god, is Pinkie talking about...]

Which parts? [She holds out a hand for the book. Come, Pinkie, give us page references.]

[laughafterme]

[Pinkie hands over the book after turning to the pages she marked with sticky tabs. Twilight taught her all about not dog ear-ing the book pages.]

Liiiiiiike this part! And he climbed the mountains, kiss by kiss. [Pauses with an indignant look.] You can't climb mountains like that!

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[Oh no, she is talking about those scenes. Sharpay looks around for kids, then leans forward, lowering her voice.] Pinkie, the author's not talking about mountains; she's talking about - [Sharpay gestures to her own...small tracts of land.]

[laughafterme]

[Pinkie blinks and tilts her head.]

The author is talking about you?! [What is discretion.]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

No! [That's a shout, bordering on a shriek. Sharpay hastens to quiet down.] She's talking. About. [A whisper:] Breasts.

[It is taking every ounce of self control she has to not blush.]

lunch

[eyeofthetigress]

<sub>[Artemis was just going to get some food and try not to start a fight. Even though the constant jingling of bells made it really, really hard.

But then she walks past a table. Then stops. Then looks back at the table.

What. The. Fuck.

There are no words. She knew this place was full of crazy motherfuckers, but this shit? Is just plain weird.]</sub>

[laughafterme]

[The gorilla paid no attention to the person who was going to pass by until they stopped moving. It looks up over the book creepily slowly, staring back.

Sup?]

[eyeofthetigress]

_{[Stare. Staaaare.]}

Please tell me that I've been drugged and that you're a hallucination.

_{[Because she might have to try and shoot the thing if there is an actual person dressed as a pink gorilla.]}

[laughafterme]

[The gorilla holds up three fingers. How many are there, crazy lady?!]

[eyeofthetigress]

_{[... What is it even doing.]}

You should get your fucking head checked.

[laughafterme]

[The correct answer is 'three'. The gorilla shakes its head in pity for this poor woman, before going back to its book.

OH WAIT! A consolation prize! It digs into a pocket (yep, a pocket) and pulls out a lollipop. An A for effort!]

[eyeofthetigress]

_{[Artemis is just going to stare at that lollipop. Does she look likes she's five?]}

I may not be a kid anymore, but I still know taking candy from strangers is a bad idea.

[laughafterme]

[The gorilla may be strange, but the person underneath is...stranger. Okay. She has a point, but the lollipop is still hers. SO! It'll be placed on the table for whenever she wants it.

It's just a lollipop. Gosh. Afraid of a sugar rush?

Meanwhile, the pink gorilla goes back to its romance novel. Boy is it confusing.]

[elementofloyalty]

[Meanwhile, since Pinkie so obligingly got in that gorilla suit, Rainbow Dash sneaks up quietly from behind to start attaching a bell to her in turn. One of those giant clanging cowbells...]

[laughafterme]

[Of course the gorilla is too consumed in the novel to pay much attention, flipping a page and hanging on each and every word.

How did Rainbow Dash know it was her?! So smart!]

[elementofloyalty]

[The same way she knew a bale of hay wearing a coat was Pinkie. Rainbow is awesome.]

[Bell attached, she quietly backs up, then much more loudly swoops through the air around to Pinkie's front.]

Nice monkey suit!

[laughafterme]

[It's going to be hard to fool Rainbow Dash in the near future, it seems. Darn!

The gorilla looks up, and of course Rainbow Dash knows the jig is up! Even though it hasn't started. Pinkie loves a good jig! It tilts its head to one side in mock confusion. Noooo, the facade must go oooonnnnn!]

[elementofloyalty]

[Oh, gonna play it cool, huh? Rainbow Dash eyes her for a minute, then decides to test her commitment to the role! Off she swooshes, returning a moment later with a banana held between her forehooves.]

Monkey want a banana?

[laughafterme]

[OH BOY! A BANANA!

Standing at attention, the gorilla reaches for the yummy treat! FORK OVER THAT BANANA--

Hey, wait, what's that new noise? It looks left, then right, then left again. Odd. It's not there anymore.]

[elementofloyalty]

Hey, you're not giving up THAT easy, are ya?

[She continues to dangle the banana tantalizingly out of reach]

[laughafterme]

[Giving up?! Not when a banana is at stake!

The gorilla looks to the treat, posing itself for an attack. There's that sound again, but it can be found later. Banana now!

POUNCE!!! Goes the gorilla, jumping high enough to...almost get the banana...]
