59 - Action/Phone

[ceasetoexist]

[Action; Locked to 502 Ricardo]

[Well. Someone's pissy and annoyed after last night's dream. And because of that? Pokey is loud as hell as he gets up and storms off to the kitchen, somehow making a mess as he prepares a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Just fuming.]

[Phone]

Oh wow you morons put two and two together. Guess what? The town is probably brainwashing you idiots into thinking people aren't here. Whatever we were promised, we didn't get zip. I can't speak for anyone else but, uh, I'm legit. So stop running around like morons acting like anyone here is a clone or something.

[Action, Around Town]

[Pokey is busing running around like a moron, trying to search out the people he knows and see who was or wasn't replaced. So far? He isn't happy about the results, and he's busy hustling through the streets pushing over anyone in his way to see who's still here.

Picky? Slugger? Yeah, he'll also be heading for both your houses soon.]

[OOC: Pokey's been erased, so he'll seem like one of those doppelgangers yep.]

Comments

Phone ☆

[badend-replay.livejournal.com]

Be quiet. No one here is going to fall for that. Just save yourself the time and be quiet already.

[ You get to be one of Rika's first phonecalls! During the period where she's angry, before she gets depressed. Congrats. I'm sorry if she's mean. ]

Phone ☆

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Don't worry he deserves bad attitudes.]

Uh. Uh-huh. Are you serious right now?

Want to tell me how often it is that they, you know, actually do what they just said they did over the phone?

action

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[The moment Pokey reaches the front porch of 726 Anderson Lane, Slugger moves through the front door and, in his rush to get away from the house, collides with Pokey.]

[Action]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[And down Pokey goes. He glowers a bit as he looks up to see what happened.

And glowers even more when he sees Slugger. What's standing in front of him? Isn't Slugger. He'd know. He'd know for sure. They really did replace some of them. Son of a bitch.]

.....Bastards.

[Action]

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[Lucas is meandering around on his table when he spots Pokey approaching. ...There is an instinctive urge to turn around and go the opposite direction.]

[Action]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Funny story. Instead of the usual guilt Pokey felt when he saw Lucas? This time?

He was angry. Goddammit. Goddammit, was he wrong and they actually were replacing people? And, of course, it had to be one of the decent people to get taken for real instead of him. What a stupid friggin' mess.]

Oh boy, look at you. No surprise you were dumb enough to do what the dream said, huh?

502 Ricardo

[birthclod.livejournal.com]

[And just as he's making breakfast, Clod approaches the kitchen table and prepares breakfast for herself as well. She gives Pokey a glance and that's about the only form of greeting she'll give him. The girl is still smiling like always, of course, but she isn't quick to strike up conversation.]

502 Ricardo

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Pokey will just sit down, annoyed, with his breakfast.]

I had the dumbest dream last night.

action; all the edits i say

[redtogold.livejournal.com]

[Gash is seen strolling down one of those streets- well, more like nervously edging around. That dream last night has him beyond cautious and worried.

Something's off. Somehow.

Ah- Is that? Maybe he'd have an answer!] Unu! Pokey-dono!

action

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Pokey turns at that voice. And just stares.

You too Gash? Really. No. That makes sense. Of course you would too, you moron. For a moment, Pokey glowers, and then tries to hide the fact that was what he had been doing.]

Hey.

...How're you?

Action

[friendly-ghosts.livejournal.com]

[Approaching him hesitantly.]

......Pokey?

[she sounds doubtful.]

Action

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Mindy?

[No. NO no no. He saw her name on the TV too. But...she couldn't be. Please, not Mindy.

He looks to the side, refusing to make eye contact with her.]

Are you doing alright?

[hatinonlayton.livejournal.com]

[He notices his not-son in the kitchen as he comes out for breakfast, and is immediately given the creeps. But that doesn't make sense. He looks exactly the same. And why would he care anyway?]

-- Tch, this is ridiculous.

[Muttered that to himself. He's just going to let him do what he's doing and get some coffee or something. He has the feeling he'll need it.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Pokey looks over as his not!dad enters the kitchen and frowns, going back to eating his cereal.]

You got that right.

[He doesn't like Paolo in general, but even he hasn't felt as disgusted to look at him as he does right now.]

[Action]

[redthenightless.livejournal.com]

[And the dumb vampire's bundled up and wandering the streets again, almost completely unrecognizable as she's wrapped up in a scarf, hat and sunglasses to go with her parka and snowpants... it's still too damn bright out here, with all the sunlight reflecting off the snow, but it's still too boring to stay inside]

[Action]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Wow. That sight is just....too weird not to pay attention to. And Pokey just has to go over to whoever this goon wrapped up like that is.]

Wow, what are you supposed to be? A fricking walking fluffball?

[hispalette.livejournal.com]

[and there's Red, sitting outside the comic book store with his back pressed against the wall, watching people go by as he hugs his knees. all things considered, he doesn't look nearly as sad as one might expect; just anxious and more than a little uneasy. some of that dissipates as soon as he sees Pokey.]

Pokey!

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Pokey turns to the voice. Okay. Yes. Someone still recognizes him, and this time it'll probably be someone who-

No. Yet again, Pokey feels the clawing sensation in his gut that he's looking at a clone, at a fake, and he tries to shut it down. To tell it to shut up. After having run into so many by this point, he's getting the hang of it. But that doesn't mean he doesn't still having a sense of unease creeping up on him.

He cautiously moves forward.]

Red. Hey.

....You had the dream too, huh?

[phone, also erased]

[ra-ra-razputin.livejournal.com]

I'm really sick of all the dirty looks I'm getting already. This is stupid.

[phone, also erased]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Heh. Lucky me, that I'm used to it.

Action

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Also heading towards Slugger's house. Oh you're fake.. ...of course Ai looks fake as well.]

Action

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Pokey looks over, and frowns. Slugger is....he is not going to like that. He remains silent for a moment, before finally speaking up in irritation.]

Wow. Are you really going to bug him?

Action

[imjustpicky]

[No need to make it all the way down Brooks Lane to find Picky. He's at the end of it, about to head into Mayfield proper, when he sees his brother coming along the sidewalk.

No. Not his brother. That's not Pokey. Because Pokey was replaced. He was the first one on the whole list.]

...stupid!

[He stands his ground in the middle of the snowy sidewalk, mitten-clad fists balled tightly, suddenly incredibly angry.]

Re: Action

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Pokey just stops. And stares at the fake of his brother in front of him. It takes a moment for him to fully realize what he's looking at. And for his rage to come fully to the fore.

His hands curl up into tight, angry little fists, and he grits his teeth. How dare they. How dare they.]

No.

Go away. Now.

phone - also erased

[misterwwizard.livejournal.com]

If this town is tryin' to upset me to a point where I don't want to be goin' again, they're sure doin' a fine job a' it...

phone - also erased

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Get used to it. This is the kind of crap the town thrives off of.

phone, backtagging ftw

[echidna]

[ ...

It takes her a little while to respond, it's just dead air and quiet breathing for a minute or two. ]

Knock it off, it's not funny.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Deadpan. Just utterly deadpan.]

Aaaaaaaaaand you fell for it. Wow. I am just in shock.
