[Vriska does happen to be inside, lounging on one of the sofa's, looking a mix between mopey and irritated. She'd gotten into an argument with one of the nurses a little while ago, and nearly gotten herself kicked out, until another nurse took pity on her and just told her to have a seat.

She's got a Pokéball in her hand that she's been idly playing with.]

[It doesn't take John long to spot her and he immediately beelines for the sofa in question. Once there, he sits down next to her and gives her a light nudge in the arm.]

You know, if you mope for too long, your face will get stuck like that forever.

[Instant frown, and straightening up. She was so not moping, jeeeeeeeeze.]

That's fucking stupid, faces don't get stuck. Besides, I wasn't moping.

[She glances down at the Pokéball though with a slight frown.]

[A small gasp.]

Whaaaat? You mean nobody told you about that?! Faces getting stuck is totally a human thing, Vriska.

[Please cheer up, Vriska. :<]

[Pause. Then slowly glancing up at him, as if doubtful.]

...It is?

[God humans are so weird.]

Yes, absolutely. It's because we're so squishy. [He tugs on his cheeks, as though to prove his point.] Our skin is all...malleable and stuff, so it gets stuck very easily.

[Vriska, you have good reason to be doubtful.]

If you say so....

[She still not sure she believes you.]

Would I lie to you?

[He puts a finger on each corner of Vriska's mouth and turns them upwards into a smile. As he does so, he gives her a critical, narrow-eyed look, as though judging the result of his actions.]

Hmmmmm... yeeeessss... Yes this is definitely a much better better expression for your face to get stuck in, I think. Beats Little Miss Frownyface anyday!

[She bats his hand away, but smiles on her own.]

You're such a dork. I'll bet that was a lie. Are you trying to trick me John? Huuuuuuuuh?

[He laughs, holding his hands out to the sides in a partial shrug.]

Okay, okay, you caught me! I was indeed pulling your leg and your face is not so squishy that it will get stuck. But for the record, you really should smile more.

[Her smile softens a little and she glances down with a shrug.]

I just need more reasons to smile I guess.

[He beams.]

Well if you end up staying with us for a while, I will try my best to give you a few. And I'm not pulling your leg with that one, cross my heart.

[Shrug] Well I've got nothing better to do really. Just training up to take on the elite challenge, and you said you'd help me with that anyway.

[She tosses the Pokéball and catches it again.]

Yup! I would still be more than happy to do that. And I promise not to be too boring or hold you back too much.
