 [He’s on fire. That’s the very first thought that goes through his head. He’s on fire, and he’s dying. Slowly. Painfully. It wasn’t like the first death he’d experienced here. That was relatively quick. Not painless. But there wasn’t the disorientation or feeling of drag like this.

And then, it ultimately catches up with him that he isn’t, in fact, burning. He’s back in bed. What’s left of it, anyway. It’s really hard to tell what’s up with his house at the moment, except for the fact that it’s been smashed to shit for the most part. But at least he’s alive. Alive and safe. For now, at least. Still, his brain is having a hard time fully locking on to that fact, and his body still feels like its burning. Though at least now it’s fading. Memory sure isn’t though.

He tries to move, to get up, to force his body to remember it’s still alive. And he can’t. Not really at least. His body just won’t permit it for some reason, and he doesn’t know why. So he just lays there. He will not cry. He will not cry. He will not.

A few minutes later after he finishes crying into his pillow, he finally gets enough control over his body again to move out of the bed. His first instinct is to check the window. Which he does, and immediately moves away when he sees the hazmats swarming the streets. He back pedals, tripping and falling to the ground as he just thinks about getting away from the window. It takes him a bit to right himself, once the shaking subsides.

He’s stuck. He could maybe try and use Josephine to get out but…probably not. And he’d just lead them to wherever he was going. There really wasn’t any escape. If he wanted anything, he’d probably have to use the phones.]

[Pokey’s voice is unbelievably small. Shaken. Terrified. Pretty much any of the bluster, or agitation, or smarminess it usually contains has been utterly wiped away. In its place is the voice of a scared, helpless twelve year old.]

I don’t know who’s still out there. Or here. Whatever. I don’t care who you are, or what you think or do. Just talk with me. About something. Anything. Please.

[Filtered to Tak’s Communicator]

[This call goes out about a hour or two after the first. Hope you got that personal communicator you were talking about earlier on you, because Pokey’s going to be calling it, Tak. His voice, instead of being scared or little, is instead simply dead. The bluster and smarminess and all the factors that generally make Pokey sound like Pokey are gone, but so is pretty much anything else that could be in his voice. He’s just dead. And get ready for one of the funniest things you’ve ever heard, Tak.]

If you’re dead or hurt, I’m going to kill you.

Maybe you're not so dumb as you look.

[You have looked mighty dumb at times.]

...But no, that makes sense. I'll assume you're not as old as you look, either. I'd actually say probably younger.

Am I right?

And I'll assume your case is completely opposite.

Am I right?

Kind of.

I'm pretty much still a twelve year old kid. I've just got a few centuries on people.

You would choose to remain 12 forever?

It wasn't a conscious choice.

Okay.

See, when I said it wasn't a conscious decision, I meant that I didn't mean for it to happen.

That's all the elaboration I'm doing.

My name is Pokey Minchi. I have lived for 10 thousand years and yet I can't find a way to reverse this paranormal skin condition.

[You should hear him butcher Mr. Teatime's name and the word 'mayonnaise'. Except those are by accident.]

I have been 12 years old for the past 400 years. I hope to reach 13 by the end of this millennium.

Oh man, I wish I knew how to talk with people aside from bashing their faces in! Oh well, I guess that works just as well, except for when it happens to me! Maybe someday I'll be brave enough to go into a grocery store!

I'm so much better than everyone else. But the only way I feel important is by making others feel stupid. So feel stupid, jerkface, and believe what I say. Because if you don't, then how will I?
