You Take The Highroad, and I'll Take the Lowroad

[ceasetoexist]

[A few options for you today with what Pokey’s up to, Mayfield.]

Option One: Pissing Around in his Yard
[You’ll find Pokey out on his yard at 502 Ricardo Street measuring parts of the lawn. He seems to mainly be focusing on measuring it in squares, occasionally putting tape down in the same squares he’s measured. God knows exactly what the kid thinks he’s doing at the moment.]

Option Two: Check Out His New Knife
[Having saved up enough allowance from his “parents”, Pokey has managed to buy one of those little boy scout pocketknives. He had wanted to get something bigger for self-defense, but hey, he guesses this’ll do. You can find him either ideally playing with it as he walks down the street, occasionally tossing it and catching it and all the crap little boys are want to think is “cool” about having a knife. Optionally, you can find him at the park trying to whittle a piece of wood he found.]

Option Three: On The Phone
[You can hear what sounds like the kid messing around with metallic parts as he talks into the speaker.]

So, I’ve been here for like, two months, and I’m as bored as ever. I’m curious, if you people could bring back one thing, or person, or even small place from home, what’d you bring back here?

[A small pause.]

Me? I’d bring back my little brother.

[Harpuia, since you live with the kid, feel free to notice that there’s a bunch of metallic shit on the table, and he seems to be attempting to assemble it into something.]

[Wow, they sound...really human.]

...Do they look human, or what do they look like.

Yes, they look human! But they're better than human. Capable of so much more.

[He's getting nostalgic. There's a bit of a sigh, which sounds dramatic coming from him.] There used to be the eight of us, you see. But now there's just us three. I hope they're doing well back home! Alerius tends to bully Luther a bit if I'm not there to keep him in check.

....Alerius the older of the two?

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

Alerius was the oldest of all of them, so he always had a tendency to pick on all of his siblings. He's got quite the ego, that one! But he's a good boy overall.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Huh. Guess I wouldn't mind meeting him....

[Pokey would love Alerius. He's a magnificent bastard. But of course, Cynric doesn't see it that way.]

Well, if he ever shows up, you'll be the first person I tell!
