56 - Action/Phone

[ceasetoexist]

[It was weird. After a week of feeling like garbage, to wake up feeling as good as he did didn't really make sense. But really, after having a confrontation he was dreading and having it turn out all right? It felt good. And he hadn't felt this good in a long time.

Pokey couldn't remember the last time he actually felt, well, decent since everything. Last Christmas, maybe? Early March, at the very latest? It had been a long time. But now that he'd actually felt it, actually felt some kind of closure, of confidence? It was time not to waste that.]

[Action - 502 Ricardo]

[School? Screw that. Pokey still had something important to do considering his spider mech was still practically sprawled out across the yard. It had gotten repaired some, but really being blown apart with thunder magic will do that to a robot.

But it was coming along. Over the last two months of repairs, there was some small, but noticeable, progress as the mech was slowly repaired. Which still didn't mean to slow down. Right now, Pokey's busy tinkering away on it in the front yard, a small robot scampering around to go and get tools for him when he asks for them. When the robot isn't busy tripping over it's own feet.

Or when the robot isn't running around sporadically from fear as Pokey yells at it for doing something that displeases him, just barely dodging tools as Pokey throws them at it. Either or.]

[Action - Bowling Alley]

[Pokey always thought bowling was a pretty dumb sport. After all, I mean you throw a ball and knock down pins, nothing special about that. Still, he decided he might as well try it out for once, for shits and giggles.

And actually found it pretty good for stress relief. He's really gotten into it.

At the same time, most people usually roll the balls instead of, you know, hefting it up and tossing it. They also generally stick to their own lanes, though that's something Pokey doesn't particularly give a good goddamn about that.

Yeah. Enjoy the fat kid ruining your game.]

So, okay, I've got an awesome plan, but I need to know something first.

Anyone got a TV I can hook a Super Nintendo up to? Because I need to know that before I even bother. You let me borrow your TV and, hey, I might even let you play some.

For. You know. Like maybe a half hour or something.

Action: 502 Ricardo Street

[hardhat-truckie.livejournal.com]

(He's been thinking on checking up on Pokey for a while, ever since he met Finch. The younger boy actually looks like Pokey a bit, which serves as a reminder for Engie that there is another boy out there who's got a world of troubles on his shoulders.

So today, he's going to 502 Ricardo Street to visit Pokey. However when he sees the spider-like machine on the yard, it takes all his will power to contain his excitement and to postpone any questions about it till he's enquired about Pokey's wellbeing.)

Hey there son. You doin' alright?

[Sorry Engie.It takes Pokey a minute to hear you over his yelling and shaking the small, child-sized robot working with him.]

Once! Just once don't trip on your feet you stpuid-

[Oh hey there's someone watching him. He should probably calm the hell down.]

...Hey.

I'm doing....better.

[And he really is. It's so hard to describe but having his little brother here....it's cathartic.]

[hardhat-truckie.livejournal.com]

That's good ta hear. Lord knows we've all been through a few hard weeks, so it's good ta know that things are lookin' up for ya.

(He then gestures at the giant spider mech that Pokey's working on.)

Did ya get this baby back for Halloween?

I don't have a spare TV, but if you have the AV cables I know how to rewire it so that the super nintendo is the only input source for it.

Phone

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll have to see if they give me the cables after the trade. I mean, you'd think they would, but this is Mayfield.

Phone

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

See if you can't get a color TV with it as well, that should have all the connectors built in.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I have a 3-D television. It's pretty awesome.

Phone

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right! That does sound pretty awesome.

So you should totally let me come over and use it.

[moemoetentacles.livejournal.com]

I've got some games, too! Do you like fighting games?

Phone ☆

[withavividheart.livejournal.com]

Hm? A Super Nintendo? I think I've heard of those!

... I don't have a television, but I can help you look? This sounds interesting!

Phone ☆

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd think you would.

Sure, I guess. Just check everyone in your street and tell me what you find.

Action ☆ Bowling Alley

[badend-replay.livejournal.com]

[ It's too cold to play cards by herself in the park, so Rika moved on to the bowling alley today. She might have normally been a bit upset to have someone use her lane but when she notices who it is she just smiles. ]

mi~i! That was a good throw, Pokey! I did not know you liked bowling.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[He smirks a little as he watches the ball tumble down the lane and smash into the pins. That is just really rewarding for some reason.]

Y'know?

I didn't know I liked it either until now.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

What is a Super Nintendo?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

You're kidding, right?

You know what a video game is, don't you?

[phone]

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

A Super Nintendo? Hell yeah, kiddo, bring that thing over to my place! I can hook that thing up, no problem.

[phone]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Well, don't have it just yet, but I'm planning to get it soon. But yeah, sure. I can do that.

[Because you should totally be thankful he'll be hogging your TV.]

Action - 502 Ricardo Street

[imjustpicky]

[Wasn't it about time that he went to see where his brother lived? Yeah, it totally was. He'd go over, they'd hang out, maybe get up to something fun, and..

...and... was that a big giant robot thing in the yard?

That was a big giant robot thing in the yard.]

Woah!!!

[Imagination could not do justice to the reality of the sort of stuff his brother had.]

Action - 502 Ricardo Street

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Well Picky, I hope your idea of fun is your brother throwing a wrench at a little robot that can barely keep from tripping as it runs. Or it might be, but Pokey manages to stop himself when he sees you and puts the wrench behind his back.]

Hey.

[He smiles at Picky's reaction though.]

Pretty awesome, isn't she.

[He actually...pats the mech. Like a dog, more than a weapon.]

[action->bowling alley]

[stealsluck.livejournal.com]

[Good thing Vriska doesn't care either! She is a mess of chaos and balls and danger.

And also there alone.]

[action->bowling alley]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Pokey smirks a bit, waiting for Vriska to throw one of her balls before he throws one of his own, intending to knock hers into the gutter with it.

Because why not.]

Bowling Alley

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[The moment after Pokey releases the ball, another one flies out from behind. The other ball catches up with Pokey's and the two collide before crashing loudly all over the lanes.

Behind Pokey, Slugger stands there with a grin on his face and brushing his hands together as if that was some very important business he's just tended to.]

Bowling Alley

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Pokey's laughing before he even turns to see who did that to begin with.

God. He is not genuinely smiling right now at seeing you.]

Nice one.

[OH HEY BRO THIS IS GASH JUST BEING OBLIVIOUS AGAIN SUP]

Unuuu... "Super Nintendo"?

[phone]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Oh there you are. He was wondering how long you'd be out.

Not that he was...like, worried about you or anything.]

It's a video game system.

You know what THAT is, right?
