[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]]

[Well, that's a new one. He'd say unusual but he's starting to get a little too used to weird shit here, and that's beginning to sink in.]

There's quite a few high strung types here, I'm afraid.

Saguru Hakuba. [Aaand he's going to take that handshake.]

[If John's grin were any wider it might actually split his face in two.]

Nice to meet you, Saguru. [He actually pronounces the name almost-right.]

[...Either John is very overly entertained at someone taking the pranks in stride, or there's something Saguru's missing; that grin's approaching Kid levels, and he's not sure he's got enough data yet to guess at WHY.]

You're one of the more recent arrivals, aren't you?

[John's just pleased that after all this time he's finally found someone that isn't scolding him for playing a simple prank. Geez, people around here were just no fun.]

Ish, yeah. Got here a bit before Christmas, I think?

[On the one hand, Kid busted his sense of dignity. On the other hand, Kid and Kaito also made him somewhat paranoid of people that're pranksters and too cheerful, as much as he's not going to say anything about it right now.]

Long enough to get a little used to the crazy here, at least, and lucky enough to miss Halloween. [He runs a hand through his hair; it's a weird sort of good mood mixed with not being sure how to handle this - outside of Kaito, he's MUCH more used to dealing with people that're dangerous.]

Oh? What happened on Halloween?

[And John is basically anything but, unless you somehow manage to piss him off. Really the only way to piss him off here would be to do something to harm Dave, and... Well, Dave, can pretty much take care of himself.]

[He sways back and forth in the air like he's shifting his weight from foot to foot, or possibly dancing to a beat only he can hear.]

The Author has an occasional fascination with horror stories. Some years are worse than others.

[And that's a slightly pained smile, because last year was NOT one of the better ones.] I just missed the year before that myself, but I'd heard it wasn't as bad ... as much as hauntings and childhood fears made real are bad enough.

[Nevermind that, in most respects, between temperament and abilities, Saguru's one of the more harmless people in the Manor.]

Oh geez, did ...he? She? ...break out Silent Hill on the Manor or something? [I can't actually remember what the Halloween event was, so I kind of hope he's not right because he's just making an educated guess, since he's played the games.]

[He wants to be surprised, really he does. Unfortunately...]

She, according to what few beings seem to know anything.

And Silent Hill was only one week of it. [ /Deadpan. :| ]

((HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA. *cough* I'm to blame, by the way.))
