[Being a doll doesn't appear to have deterred John from his usual antics at all. It being April Fool's Day, and him being a bit of a prankster...]

[Well, most of the doorways in the Manor have been rigged in some way. Some of them drop buckets of plastic snakes on unsuspecting victims' heads (because there was no running water due to the event, which was such a bummer!!), others pull the trigger on canisters of silly string. Some even drop small vats of molasses or some other sticky substance and then pull the switch on a fan, to blow the age-old trick of chicken feathers all over the poor sap that opened the door.]

[John is prowling around the Manor, watching his traps and waiting, hoping to come across something wildly hilarious and amp up his Prankster's Gambit.]

[[ooc; If you can think of something you'd like your character to be pranked with today, feel free to assume John has it set up somewhere. He's a crafty little brat, go wild. >D]]

[Snakes. Snakes. Ryuutaro had been in worry for Hayato and not really paying attention to anything this week.
And then there were snakes. He lets out a strangled small scream. Like fate wanted he was afraid of snakes after all, due to events in his pasts.
The shock only lasted for a moment though and a second later Ryuutaro's expression turns sour.]

Great. Such exceptionally good humour, really.

Well since everything's all plastic, I couldn't really put a bucket of water up there. [John is floating, up near the doorway that the bucket fell from. Since Ryuutaro looked kind of angry, and all, he figured it was safer to stay out of arm's reach.]

April Fool's!!

I have to say this day was less than pleasant last year and this year it isn't either.

[Why is it that every year something lands on him? Well, at least this year he wouldn't have to spend hours washing color out of his hair.]

It's finally a good thing that the Author has done, banning water from this day.

[Which gave Ryuutaro an extra shock which he is still recovering from, but well... at least his looks are okay.]

Heheheh.

[He drifts downward a little, cautiously offering a hand as he gets closer.]

Dunno that I've met you. I'm John Egbert.

[Well, Ryuutaro wasn't a physical person, but the complete opposite of one, so the hand ends up gracefully ignored, but he opens his fan and at least offers a smile in return. Not really an honest one, but it looks nice enough.]

My name is Ryuutaro Fukami. I suppose getting to know you would be more pleasant if it wasn't for this day, but still it's nice to meet you.

[John gleans from his appearance-- doll-like currently or otherwise --and his name that he's of Asian descent, and assumes the handshake is ignored for cultural reasons. He smiles and recoils his hand, not a damn bit bothered by it. The smile he returns is perhaps more honest and genuine than Ryuutaro's, but John's good for bald-faced, genuine happiness.]

Heheheh. I won't prank you on a regular basis unless my gambit's awful low, promise. Nice to meet you-- [He pauses for a second to recall how the name was said, ensuring he says it at least mostly correctly.] Ryuutaro.

That is reassuring to hear.

[Ryuutaro snaps the fan shut again. Looks like these fan movements are a frequen thing with this boy]

Even though the 'unless'-part is worrysome. What do you refer to by 'gambit'?

[He finds the fan kind of amusing, if a bit distracting.]

Hahaha. My Prankster's Gambit. Think of it as a health bar in a video game, only in regard of the ratio of me pranking people or the Manor or the Manor or other people pranking me. It's a constant battle with me and my dad. Er, was.

[Now if Ryuutaro had played video games... Well, he had a vague idea what those were about, but such typical teen activities were just so lost on him.]

That sounds a bit strange to me, but as a place like this I should probably not judge what is odd and what not.

Hahaha yeah. I think everything here is pretty odd, personally. But it's kind of an adventure.

It does depend on what you are used to. But I must agree, most of the people around here can be considered strange, with all due respect.

[... but heee is compleeetely normal.]
