In Which Pokey Gets To Work [Action]

[ceasetoexist]

[Well, that was an idiotic diversion he didn't have time for. Pokey hardly understood what possible point the Soviet event could have had aside from agitating the living hell out of him. It was a pointless excursion in suffering, and even he thought the reason people were being killed was more or less pointless. Of course, he still got off worse than all of those who even died; after all, he had to go back to school, an entirely pointless bit of drudgery for him. 

Now that they were back in Mayfield, it was time for him to start getting a lay of the land. Getting as much paper as he could of any type and a few pencils, he headed outside to begin his slow, but necessary work. He'd start around his own house and street, drawing and graphing the surrounding area. Mapping the terrain was going to be necessary if he wanted to form a full plan for battle or action.]

[OOC: Throughout the day, Pokey is going to be going from house to house and street to street mapping the area. Feel free to confront him about what he's doing or how he's invading your privacy as he messes around on your lawn, in your backyard, in the trees near your house as he tries to peer into the second story to get an idea of whose their, ect. While this will mainly affect Ricardo Street, feel free to bump into him anywhere since this'll be affecting the entire town.]

[A dry chuckle.] Murphy's Law, right?

There no American holidays coming up for awhile, yeah? We can hopefully relax, just a little…

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yep. That was someone I could see eye to eye with.

Why? Do the...events, I guess, happen most often around holidays?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Usually... though not Westport I suppose. [He shakes his head.] It's so hard to get ahead of what's going on in this town.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Maybe there's no real rhyme or reason to it then?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[Shurg] Who's to say. I don't think anyone's ever gotten any clues, really, as to why this is happening.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Maybe the people behind it are just bored, and are playing a game.

[Because, honestly, that'd be his first thought on how to interpret this.]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Some people have said that, yeah. I'm inclined to believe it.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

If that's the case, we're kinda screwed unless we find a way to mess with their rules.

[He hitches the papers up.]

Any way, I should probably be going. I'll give you a call to meet with you about comparing maps later.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I should finish my route anyway. [Sighs.] Don't want to get droned for not doing my job. I'll have those maps ready, then.

[He just nods as he heads off. Nice guy. Doesn't mean he may not have to watch out for him. After all, anyone might stab you in the back given the chance.]
