CALL ME OUT MEME

【the ❝CALL ME OUT❞ meme】
[one particular thing that winning the game and hopping into Earth C has meant is there has been the opportunity for dorks who never experienced a proper civilization to actually do mundane proper civilization shit. like order takeout, or go to a movie theater — or maybe even something completely magical and still somehow boring, like ride a bus.]
[those were all completely awesome as she expected. but there is still one thing that riflekind Roxy Lalonde has always secretly wanted to try ever since she saw it in a movie. and it is summer and it is hot and it looks like fun so WHY NOT.]
[she is armed with this. Callie helped her paint pink kittens all over it.]
[u best run, boi.]

[Earth C was always a little weird for him. It wasn't that he didn't miss Earth at all. He was having a good time with his friends and enjoying building a new life together and what-have-you, but sometimes he still felt like things were out of place and a little imbalanced. In those moments, he usually ignored the uneasy feeling and focused on his friends.
It's why on such an afternoon John finds himself in a park and he sends Roxy a text asking her to meet him. He's sprawled on his back on said-bench, staring up at the sky and waiting for the girl to show up. He doesn't exactly have a plan but he figures if anybody's up for an adventure without planning it'd be Roxy. He doesn't pay attention to the time or anything though and the minutes tick past leaving him to wait for her and eventually close his eyes so he's not staring at the sun.
Where are you, Roxy?]

[fashionably late wasn't really part of her action plan today, but there was something really important that Roxy needed to do — rather, there was something really important that Roxy needed to put together and bring to the park. sorry about that!]
[she's just gonna rest her chin on her arms on the back of the bench for now. aw, did he fall asleep? it's hard to tell, she should test the waters.]
Sup.

Sup.
[It's easy to recognize her voice and his eyes immediately open, staring up at her before there's a grin. He doesn't quite sit up yet but he visibly brightens upon seeing her.]
Hey, you made it! [He doesn't even seem to mind that she's a little later than they'd agreed.] How's it going?

[well, hey, it's a nice smile, and one she has no problem matching.]
Pretty friggin spectacular — just sorry that I can't keep time for shit. How about yourself?

Better now, I think. [He's always happier when he's with other people and it's then that he finally sits up. He stays sideways on the bench, turning his head to face her instead.] Don't worry about the time or anything though, I wasn't really keeping track of it either. You arrived when you were supposed to. [Like a wizard. On the other hand...]
What kept you?
What kept you?
Oh, you know! Shenanigans. [she holds that thought for a moment, then, in what is probably the most graceful move she will ever pull off, hops over the back of the bench and settles down next to him.]
[Roxy won't be coy about the shenanigans, though — just like she isn't going to let the fact that he said "better now" float on by without her acknowledging it at some point. but first:]
Actually, Dave told me a while back you're into hacking. I thought it might be fun if the two of us got into some mischief.
[have you ever seen a girl christen a park bench with a bottle like it's a brand new ship in order to retrieve the two laptops stored inside? now you have. Roxy's sylladex is stupid.]

[That was actually impressive? He even gives a polite little golf clap in reply before he gives his full attention to the conversation. "Mischief" catches his attention and he's about to ask a question before Roxy suddenly breaks the wine bottle. He jumps lightly but at the sight of the laptops he immediately gets it.
Why are sylladexes so weird? Questions for the ages.]
Sounds like a pretty good way to spend an afternoon. [He's just hoping that Dave didn't tell Roxy how "good" he was at hacking. Even so he's already reaching for one of the laptops.] What were you thinking?

[if she remembers correctly, he said something like, "i think he pretty much sucked at his codes." sorry dude. but that's cool, Roxy once held the title of "leetest haxxer in all of human civilization (population: 2)," and she is more than willing to offer some pointers, if he wants them.]
You wanna play a prank on someone? Nothin' malicious or anything — just something silly to make 'em say, "God damn, my bits and bytes just got owned."

[He does not run. He FLASHSTEPS. He flashsteps the FUCK away, because guess what: Dirk is a sword boy. He is not a gun boy. MAKE JAKE FIGHT YOU Dirk's fucked.
But his gun is decorated with SBAHJ and it fires bullets out of a gaping horse mouth, so at least there's that as he swings it her way and tries to land a hit. His aim isn't bad, but he's not practiced with this; he is no Lalonde or English.]

[it is another beautiful day in Azalea Town, an aptly named little spot in Johto for these two very pink and flower-themed girls and best friends. and this one happens to be knocking on the front door to Tsubomi's house.]
[it's not like a break-down-the-door sort of knock, but it is very enthusiastic, and maybe a bit frantic? open up, open up, open up —]

[dw Dirk, she won't ruin his perfect 'do when she ultimately wins this thing, but he does have two tactical advantages over her at the moment:]
[one, even though she is a hell of a shot, it's not exactly easy to hit flashstepping Striders with water rifles. two, she can't stop laughing at his gun. please tell me it's called the Winniechester.]
Oh my god, Dirk, you can't bring artillery to a gun fight! Holy shit, it's hideous.

Uh, yes? You are talking to the pranking master here, Roxy. I would have to be incredibly lame not to use my hacker cred to its full potential. [Which means doing something goofy.] Quick, what's the most annoying thing you can think of that would happen when you open a program?
Annoying, huh? Hmmm ... I guess that sorta depends on the unlucky — nah, wait, I definitely mean lucky — chump we're about to prank.
[one time she sent Dirk an exe that changed all his unnamed folders to "named folder" and "meow." and even though she is capable of blowing up computers, it is definitely too far on the malicious end of the spectrum, poor Jane.]
But if we're talkin' about general annoyance? That'd have to be Party Mode. [what she means by Party Mode, though, she doesn't clarify immediately — but she does open her laptop, intent on showing him.]

[ Oh-- well, she's hurrying for the door and flinging it open, eyes wide and concerned. ]
Madoka?? Hello!
[ She very barely refrained from blurting out "WHAT HAPPENED" ]

Party mode sounds pretty appropriate for what I'm thinking of. Things that take over the whole screen, the works. [But Roxy's moving and instead of focusing on the laptop in her hands instead of the one he's holding onto. Instead, he's also scooting a bit closer so he can look at her screen over her shoulder.]
How does it work?
How does it work?
You're in luck, then, John! Because that's pretty much exactly how it works — and you can change up anything in it to best suit your target.
[here, she'll move the laptop so it's settled between the two of them. she's opened a folder that contains two executables: one of them labeled PARTYMODE.EXE, one of them labeled PARTYPOOPER.EXE.]
[u know what 2 do, John! launching Party Mode briefly blacks out the screen entirely, then, after the program hides all the desktop icons, menus and other important items that are unnecessary for PARTYING, it turns the entire screen into a desktop equivalent of this. occasionally, confetti explodes across the screen.]
[clicking anywhere on the screen (the pointer's been changed to nyan cat, for good measure) will load another cat. any attempts to reboot the computer or access any other files will result in a dialogue message: where u goin? the partys just started! <3]
[there's exactly one way to turn off Party Mode, and that's to locate the folder the executables were in again. for the purposes of this demonstration, it's sitting in the bottom right corner of the screen.]

[Give him a second to launch the first executable and as soon as the cat appears he starts laughing. He's busy playing around with it, watching nyan cat dart around the screen before he zips to the original folder and runs the second executable and resuming the computer to its original status.]
Nice. The reboot mechanic is a nice touch, too. Think we could also stick the folder inside another folder for hard mode?

Ah, no, I was watering Mom's Sunflora-- did I miss something?
[ ... she tends to miss these things. ]

I don't think so! Not yet anyway — I think they're still showing it!
["it" being a newly discovered Shaymin that followed a trainer home, and is now in the care of Professor Rowan. it has a flower on its head and it is perhaps the best thing Madoka has ever seen — and both the professor and Shaymin are coming to Azalea.]
[Madoka pretty much has stars and flowers for eyes right now.]

[ ... Yeah, she can completely understand why Madoka had been so excited.
A Shaymin. And not just one to admire from afar, but one they'll actually get to see??? ]
This is incredible!!
[ minor understatement. ]
