[Long time no see, Siren's Port. Gilbert has been doing his best to keep off of the NV for the last few months for a multitude of different reasons, but today he has something to talk about.

Or rather, he has something to complain about.

The video turns on while the NV is still pointed at the ground, some section of the garden out in front of the Phantomhive estate, but it snaps up fairly quickly to reveal a very rain-soaked Gilbert Nightray. It's been raining a lot lately, so the sight in and of itself isn't horribly odd, but what is odd is that he looks furious about it.]

Who's doing this?! Whoever it is - cut it out already! This 'prank' is going too far!

[The camera then shifts upwards until it's pointed up over his head. A few raindrops fall onto the NV, obscuring the sight a little, but viewers will definitely see a small, gray raincloud perched over his head. Just. Hovering there. Raining on him. He takes a step to the side and it follows him faithfully.

Yes, the broodiest resident of Siren's Port now comes equipped with his own personal raincloud for the day thanks to one of his regular customers at the bakery. Though honestly, in a city full of pranksters, it's really very odd that Gilbert hasn't been pranked this badly before.]

It won't go away! It keeps following me inside! It ruined part of the carpet and I can't even clean it up! I can't smoke like this either, and...

[The camera moves back to his pissed expression.]

IT'S NOT FUNNY DAMN IT SO STOP!

[And with that he slams the NV shut. April Fools, indeed.]

[ooc - Action for Phancyhive people if they want to venture out to Gilbert's little Brooding Spot in the garden. Also I'm off for work so tags will come later today.]

[He settles for slumping down on his knees, bracing himself with one hand on the ground while the other continues holding the umbrella over his head. Too bad the lightning didn't just that that thing instead, huh?]

You're not...um. Did you forget where you are...?

...No.

[He just hasn't figured it out yet. If it's outside in the middle of the day, isn't it PE? That's definitely grass in his teeth. But Gilbert seems to think it's the wrong answer, so he thinks it over while he slowly get to his knees, still twitching a bit. Something hit him really hard, and then...]

H-hey! Get back!

[Shit, his head. Yosuke groans, but he cracks one eye open warily at Gilbert.]

You have a new rule. Ten feet away.

Ah--

[He does just that, stumbling back on the wet grass until he's back on his feet and at least two body lengths away from his friend. If he really is hurt, he'll just have to risk him getting soaked in order to help him up, but if not then he'll just be over here feeling like a jerk for causing it in the first place.]

Right. Sorry.

[Groan.]

You're right. This isn't funny.

[Instead of getting up, Yosuke sighs and gets down on his stomach, sprawling in the wet grass with his face pillowed on his arms.]

I've never been hit by lightning before. It really hurts...

I think most people go their entire lives without being hit by lightning.

[It's mostly an aside to himself, but definitely said loud enough for Yosuke to hear.]

[Glumly.]

It's supposed to be really unlucky.

Wouldn't it be lucky because it's so rare when it happens?

[See? He's helping.]

There's nothing lucky about this. My teeth itch and I forgot the word that means something warm to [He makes a motion of draping something over himself. It might mean blanket, or it might mean towel. ]

Something warm to...

[He watches that little pantomime. Doesn't get it at all.]

Drink?

[Groan.]

I definitely hate you. Until now I was just debating it, but I think I'm finally sure.

[He rubs his face in the grass unhappily.]

[In that case, no one is happy here. He'll just be over here pouting and readjusting the umbrella as the wind shifts.]

Sit there and be quiet until you can remember the word!

Don't tell me to-! ...Owww.

[Another groan. His head, ugh. Stop making him yell, dude, it hurts.]

I said you should be quiet.

[He's smart sometimes, okay.]

This is the worst thing anyone's done to me in weeks.

[No, whining is very important right now. When people chuck bolts of lightning at you, you get o whine.]

Don't say it like I did it on purpose!

[So offended!]

If anything it was your fault!

I don't control the stupid cloud over your-!

[Groan. Oh, gods, why can't he stop shouting back at you? It really hurts.]

...This is stupid. This whole thing. This shouldn't be allowed to happen.

[He pissed him off! But Gil refrains from snapping back. The poor kid has been through enough.]

Should I call an ambulance?

For a headache? No. They'd probably kick me out of the hospital anyway. I'm not supposed to go in there, anymore.

[He frowns.]

Why not?

[Snort.]

Something about abducting the mentally ill. You'd think they would have cut me a break, considering how hard you were to abduct.

[Ugggggh, embarrassing!! Just gonna go pale over here and want to crawl into a hole and bury himself.]

That...that part of it was definitely my fault...

No kidding.

[He's simmered down by now, though. He'll just hold his head together so it doesn't burst open and spill brains everywhere for a while.]

I guess...I guess when something like that happens, you can't really be blamed, though.

The drugs that they give you are just too much.

[Yep, blaming it all on modern medicine.]

[He'll let you get away with that for now.]

I wish I had some right now.

We have the ones that help headaches inside.

[Where his raincloud won't fit. Start crawling, dude.]
