You can run into and interact with Pokey doing a few different things around town today starting mid-afternoon.

Option One
As you go about your day today, you'll find Pokey walking down the streets of the town, carrying a set of multicolored chalk with him. Every once in awhile, usually at the end of the street, you'll see him drawing what appears to be an odd, nine-blocked hop-scotch board. Inside the first eight blocks, he even draws weird little things like flowers and the like. Oddly childish considering, if anyone knew his actual, apparent personality.

While he's starting this little endeavor on Ricardo street as usual, you can find him doing this on each street he can get to.


Option Two
Pokey has managed to make his way out of the kids section of the library (after making a mess and scattering several adventure books and comic books on the floor, or course), and has made his way to the adult men's book area. He seems to be looking for something and is getting more and more pissy that he can't appear to find it, casually throwing books about golfing and shaving and the like to the ground as he continues his search.

Option Three
Here, Pokey can be found poking around just about everywhere. He generally seems to be attempting to avoid people, though he occasionally seems to try and ruin a game of kickball a bunch of younger, droned kids are having for the pure entertainment it seems to give him to be a dick.

Otherwise, he's attempting to head into any more secluded areas of the park, actively attempting to poke around and find what could work as hiding spots, which he seems to be writing down descriptions of in a small notebook he has with him.


Option Four
[If anyone is headed to Jonathon's Tools today, there's a good chance you're going to see the store-keeper trying to calm down a whining, irate, blue-skinned twelve year old boy.]

Young man, please realize that I can't see you a circular saw. You need to-

I don't care what I need to do, jerkwad! I already told you that my dad asked me to buy that saw!

Well, if you could get your father, I could-

Isn't this supposed to be the friggin' fifties, where you people will just give kids anything if they have the money for it?

[And yeah, that conversation will pretty much go on like that...]

I'm mostly alone when I can be too. I prefer it.

[Yes. Incredibly.]

No. Not at all. I'm used to it.

I'm used to it too...but I still get lonely.

[He leans up against one of the trees, just looking at the girl as he shrugs.]

I just never understood the point of getting lonely. People aren't all that great. So it's always seemed like a better idea to avoid them when you can.

It's true you should avoid bad people, but not all people are bad.

[Face pointed downward, he aims his eyes up a little at Aisling as he speaks.]

Most are, though. A lot of people who say they're good people are really bad, and just looking for a way to screw you over in the end.

Date: 2010-08-05 07:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wolf-faerie.livejournal.com
You just have to be careful, that's all. That way they won't trick you.

Date: 2010-08-05 07:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com
[He's silent for a moment, before he gives a short, bitter laugh.]

It's not like they always plan to trick you or screw you, either. It's just what people naturally do. Their fickle, and mean, and untrustworthy. They may not plan to cheat you at first, but the first time they get the chance and it can work out for them in some way, they will.

How do you know that? Have people been mean to you?

Date: 2010-08-05 08:00 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com
It doesn't really matter how I know it. I've just seen it, so I know how it is.

[And done it himself. And he doesn't like feeling like he was wrong doing it, so it's time to rationalize.]

Date: 2010-08-05 08:01 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wolf-faerie.livejournal.com
I've seen lots of things, too.

Date: 2010-08-05 08:03 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com
[He just narrows his eyes, getting snooty again.]

Not as much as I have.

Maybe. But there used to be a lot of war where I'm from. And then my people were taken by the Dark One. And now the Northmen are going around burning down people's houses and killing and looking for gold.

[He doesn't really have a visible reaction. War and violence isn't something he's particularly phased by after effectively turning traitor on his own race for a year.]

...There's a lot of war everywhere, I think. Fighting another thing people pretty much do.

If that's the case, and you can see that, why are you trying to paint some kind of optimistic image of people. You can already see how bad they are.

Date: 2010-08-05 08:09 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wolf-faerie.livejournal.com
I'm saying that not all people are bad, that's all. There are good people and there are bad people.

Date: 2010-08-05 08:12 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com
[He seems to think on it for a moment. He doesn't really say anything, just stare around the area.]

I guess you're right. You're either one or the other, too, I guess.

[And he's going to try and start walking away. He'll try looking for more hiding spots later.]

[Aisling regards him for a minute, then lets out an exasperated sigh.]

I can't understand you at all.

Date: 2010-08-05 08:16 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com
[He stops for a moment, turning around.]

Does it really matter if you understand me or not?

Date: 2010-08-05 08:18 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wolf-faerie.livejournal.com
I don't like it when I don't understand something.

[Childish, but that's what she thinks.]

Date: 2010-08-05 08:49 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com
[Just a blank stare. And then a short laugh.]

Well, I'm with you there. And I am pretty interesting, I have to admit.

Date: 2010-08-06 02:41 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wolf-faerie.livejournal.com
[He is. But in a different way than what she's familiar with.]

Interesting? Hm.

Date: 2010-08-06 02:45 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com
[His smirk falters for a minute, but he reinforces it as quickly as possible.]

Yeah! I'm super interesting. There's a lot of interesting stuff about me.

[He's also super-insecure, but that goes without saying.]

Date: 2010-08-06 02:47 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] wolf-faerie.livejournal.com
There are lots of things I don't know about you...

Date: 2010-08-06 02:50 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com
[There's lots of things he doesn't know about himself, either.]

Well maybe you'll figure it out as time goes on, then.
