prank wars but against you in particular [OPEN]
Who: Xerxes Break, Oz Vessalius, and YOU, you poor, unfortunate soul
When: Today!! I guess... it doesn't matter
Where: Various
What: Break and Oz are bored, which means it's time to playfully (???) terrorize the populace.
Rating/Warning: these two are a menace
promptprank one ; gotta go fast
[It sure is a great day to be out in the park! The sun is shining, the alien fish are burbling away in their ponds waiting for victims to tumble in, and - something seems to be rolling down the pavement... A closer listen will indeed confirm that the noise is coming from something wheeled, but what? A rogue shopping cart? One of the street-cleaning droids? A nightmare from the 90s coming back to haunt the future??
Anyone who decides to look behind themselves will discover that it's definitely the latter. Two harbingers of destruction are zooming directly toward you at warp speeds on their brightass heelys, and it seems like there is either no intention of stopping present, or they just don't know how to stop... It might be the latter for Oz, who heralds their arrival with a distressed-sounding:]
WAH—!!
[DODGE OR DIE.]
promptprank two ; this is what the descent to hell sounds like
[ Maybe the park isn't for you, so you're out in one of the shopping districts instead. Usually, the streets are fairly busy, bustling with a little activity, but not so much today. It's as if the people have been scared away... But that's ridiculous, right? Surely nothing bad is going to happen!!
You poor, naive fool.
If you had hopes of enjoying a day of shopping, you might be sorely disappointed when Break and Oz stand from where they had been watching and waiting to strike. This isn't too strange, since they play it cool and just stay a bit behind. That is, until they pull out some very odd looking things and start to begin following you. However it seems these things are instruments, since they start to play them, but the song they play...
It's pretty much the worst thing in the world.
It's easy to imagine buildings falling, skies cracking, seas boiling, Cthulhu rising, all this to this song.
But you wouldn't punch an old man and a child, would you...??? ]
promptprank three ; let's limbo some more
[ Well, as it turns out, the otamatones are pretty dangerous just because they have the most likelihood of resulting in bodily injury to Break and Oz. But these two are not ones to be deterred, so instead, they change tactics for their pranks.
A bit later in the day, you'll see Oz and Break wearing matching costumes, so it seems like they're doing a promotional activity for one of the nearby stores! Break is holding a pole, and Oz has the blindfold, so when you approach, Break gives a friendly, jovial smile before he speaks to you. ]
Excuse me! We're doing a special promotion, today only— In celebration of CERES' official commemoration day to limbo, we're holding something of a contest.
[ He nods to the pole, then holds it out for Oz to take the other end. ]
If you can make it to the third level, we're giving away a 500 credit gift card! Think you can manage~?
promptprank four ; tping gone wrong
[Unfortunately, all good pranking streaks must come to an end... And the end of this particular trail sure is an experience.
If you're particularly lucky(???), you'll arrive at the scene a little bit after shit has already gone down. The immediate area is covered in something that looks like finely shredded paper which, upon closer inspection, is definitely toilet paper. What happened here?? IT'S A MYSTERY... A mystery that might have something to do with the two hooligans high-tailing it out of there carrying something rather large and bulky.
As for those with a little less luck, you can catch Oz and Break in the act, trying to load a roll of toilet paper onto the front of their gently borrowed snowblower. Clearly they are up to something nefarious and should be stopped...!!]
Oh, I think I found it!
[--But before any dramatic heroics can go down, Captain Moron Oz of the moron fleet flicks on the power switch and the sheer force behind the industrial-strength slowblower literally blasts their entire roll to pieces and probably knocks over a few things nearby. Some flyers on the nearby billboard, a sign board out in front of a shop - a prized potted plant, maybe? Whatever it is, it's probably not something the owner will be happy about when they find out... If they find out. Snitches get stitches.]
OOC — Pick a prompt, and both Break and Oz will reply! For prompts 1 and 4, the tag order is You -> Oz -> Break, and for prompts 2 and 3, it's You -> Break -> Oz!

OOC — Pick a prompt, and both Break and Oz will reply! For prompts 1 and 4, the tag order is You -> Oz -> Break, and for prompts 2 and 3, it's You -> Break -> Oz!
one!
Until Life (or Oz and Break) happens. Mary happens to be woefully unprepared for visions of terror on rolly-shoes, and "WAH" might as well mean "Well, A thing might just Happen, but go ahead and take your time squinting at us and don't actually move until right before we slam into you", because that's apparently how she's construing it.
One swaying step to the side is probably not going to save her from a collision, but she probably (hopefully) won't die. ]
no subject
Okay, so he knows Mary isn't actually that fragile, but he's still very concerned! And also suddenly regretting the fact that he still hasn't fully mastered the brakes on these things!! (Rather, it's that his heely wheels don't really pop in and out in the way they should, but this was the last pair and he loves them too much to try out a new one...)
Once he actually spots who's ahead, and the fact that she's very much not getting out of the way, he'll let out a super eloquent:]
MARY, NO—!!
[Because surely that will help encourage her to move to the side! But no, it's just a swaying step, and then she's going to be the bowling pin to this big dummy's bowling ball. Hopefully Break manages to sidestep them, but on the plus side, he's a scraggly old man so it's not like he weighs that much.]
no subject
Haha, oh dear~! You're both still alive, I hope.
[ He doesn't actually sound that concerned, though that's also mostly because he knows they wouldn't die. Probably. ]
no subject
Feebly groaning in a fluffy-haired heap from a collision she totally could have avoided if she'd paid better attention, also yes. Thankfully, Oz doesn't have the height and bulk of, say, any of those Shinsengumi whose hair fluttered like cherry petals and had muscles that could shatter steel or something like that. Mary will live to see another day.
With a few more bruises and probably some heely-induced nightmares later on, but ah well. All she can really do is try to croak out Oz's name in concern, because yes, that was him who just slammed into her, but this also hurts, so what emerges is instead ]
Owz...
[ She tried. ]
no subject
BUT NO. Oz is able to shake himself out of his collision stupor pretty easily, mostly because this is nowhere near the worst collision he's had and also because he was the unstoppable object and not the immovable force in this scenario. Break is ignored in favor of checking up on poor Mary, since clearly his grandpa self is fine.
Owz, though.....]
Are you all right? I'm sorry—!
no subject
Ah, good, still alive on both counts. I'm proud of you, Oz~. You didn't become a murderer.
[ this time, at least ]
no subject
[ She's wincing as she sits up, rubbing the back of her head. Her mind just can't seem to comprehend the inane concoction that are wheelies-- which is only partly due to the fact that she did just bonk her head on the ground. ]
no subject
Of course we're alive. [It's not like he's big enough to do serious damage to Mary and it's not like Mary would be taken out of commission by a loser on heelies! Probably. But wait a second...] Flying on the-- Oh! No, we were just skating!
[Skating with their flashbacks to the 90s!!]
no subject
... On your shoes-- [ And wait, she recognizes Break. And now she's looking from him to Oz, and ]
You're friends??
[ MARY DON'T BE RUDE. ]
no subject
True friendship... ]
no subject
But Oz nods along at that, since he has no problem admitting that he has FRIENDS.]
Yes! We come from the same world. Do you know him? [If so, does he need to apologize...]
no subject
[ Mary, no. ]
no subject
no subject
Oz still finds even this silence grossly endearing, so?! Really, it's just a lose-lose situation in general.]
He did? I'm glad to hear that! He's can be a little hard to deal with sometimes, but he's a good friend so I hope the two of you can keep getting along well.
[Talking about Break like Break isn't right there.]
no subject
[ YES OF COURSE SHE'S ASKING BREAK, he looked like he was feeling left out!! ]
no subject
I don't know why you're asking me.
no subject
That's probably a hard question for someone to answer, Mary!
no subject
[ You're doing it again, Mary. ]
