Hey.

So, you know. I could shout and scream and rant at how people got suckered in by the town again, how I got suckered in again, how everyone got suckered in again by the town, but you know what? I actually have something more important to talk about.

Look. I dunno how many of you idiots heard, but there's a little kid here named Mindy. And, being a little kid, she thought she could fix everything by asking everyone coming together under the stupid Christmas Tree this town put up. She's just a kid, like eight or something, and so she thinks like a kid. And you know? As dumb as thinking that young is...she shouldn't have had what happened.

For those of you not in the know, some psycho killed her yesterday apparently and hung her corpse on the Christmas Tree. I don't know for sure, but I have a pretty good idea who that was, and if you'd like to have a talk with him I don't mind giving you a name and address for him.

...But she shouldn't have had what happened to her happen. Not even here, where half of us are psycho in some way anyway. A lot of us deserve to be here but she...she doesn't.

I'm not going to give her address out, not to most but...I guess what I'm asking is, if there's any chance I can get people to agree to maybe, I dunno, give her something small, like even a Christmas card or something I could give to her...I'd give it to her. The kid deserves at least that much for this bullcrap. She actually deserves a Christmas.




And you know? For what it's worth, even though I said I wasn't going to do it?

It was us the entire time. We weren't fakes. The town lied.

Surprise.

Where. Are. You? Are you at home? You better be, and you better be safe, because I'm coming over, got it?

[Action - Locked to 945 Beulah]

[Hey folks living at 945? There's a blue-skinned, twelve-year old boy knocking at your door, a Christmas package under his arm. He kind of has a gift for his little friend, and he's damned determined to get it to her and see how she is.]

[Action - Around Town]

[Pokey can be found slowly walking around town, a large spider-mech following him. What used to be commonplace until September has only now started up again, but whereas he used to ride on the mech with gleeful abandon, destroying and smashing anything in front of him for fun, right now the walk is....calm. Like a boy having his dog, who had been sick for a while and was just now recovering, very slowly follow him.

Pokey had been pushing Josephine to her limits the last few days. Now he felt he just needed to let her recuperate. And as she follows, he says small words of encouragement.]


That's it. Just a little more girl. That's good...

[There are few things a boy has more love for than his dog, even if his dog is a giant, monstrous mech.]

And she got killed 'cause of... that bullshit about people disappearin' and bein' replaced, huh? [Sounding preeetty guilty now.]

Partially. The mage would kill anyone for any reason. He doesn't need one.

But the fact that people are dumb enough to fall for anything the town says and believe there were replacements here is idiotic.

It was really fuckin' convincing, alright?! It's not like I can help bein'... brainwashed, or whatever they did!

Yeah. The town does that.

I'm not blaming you. Well.

Not entirely.

Other people were figuring it out. Why weren't you?

[Not that he didn't get pissed off at every fake of his friends he met, either.]

Oh man! Great argument there.

This was pretty light, as things around here go.

I said shut up!

... Fuck, that's light? How messed up can things get around here? I already heard about the nuclear bomb shit.

From: [identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com
You first.

Pretty much. The bomb was one of the worst we'd had in a while. The worst, depending on how you looked at it, was either two Octobers ago when they had the hazmats out and burning people alive in their houses or the April Fool's day gag.

Look. It was just....bad.

You mind if we keep it at that for the moment?

... Eh, fair enough.

Thanks.





I'm sorry. I just...can't right now, okay?

Yeah, got it.

Yeah.

Thanks anyways. I'm Pokey, by the way. Since you don't sound like a psychopath, I guess I can at least trust you with that. What's your name.

Date: 2011-12-30 12:35 pm (UTC)
noluckduck: (RADICAL MY BRO)
From: [personal profile] noluckduck
Yup, definitely not a psycho. I'm Clover.

... Is your name actually Pokey, dude?

I dunno, is your name actually Clover?

From: [personal profile] noluckduck
Gotta admit Pokey's a funny name, man.

It's a dumb name.

Clover isn't much better.
