[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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Pokey freezes at that, at that statement. You might be a copy, a stupid imitation, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care, Mindy. He can't stop caring, not when it comes to you. You're one of the few people with that effect.]

...Course it's all a trick.

Things'll go back to normal soon. You'll see.

Yeah......

[She sighs, sounding more resigned than anything else.]

We're not gonna have Christmas this year, are we?

...Probably not.

...We'll...we'll have a party after it, okay? We'll make up for it, just like last year.

Really?

[She smiles, just a little.]

Maybe we can invite a bunch of people and everyone can sing Christmas carols and drink hot chocolate and stuff.

[He smiles. There's still a bad feeling, a wrong feeling around Mindy but...he tries to push it down. He wants to believe. She sounds so much like her.]

Sure can. We'll have a party and everything.

I bet that'll make everyone real happy.

And- and it'll be okay. Because everything will go back to normal soon. And everyone will be fine again.

[She's saying that to convince herself more than anything...]

You're right. It will.

Tch. Course it will. Nothing has ever stayed like this before, right?

[Slowly, he tries to gentle pat her head, just to see how she reacts.]

[She flinches very slightly, unable to stop herself. He just... doesn't feel right. But she immediately regrets it.]

I'm sorry.

[It just wasn't fair. Mayfield had already taken everything else away from them, it had to take their friendships too?]

[He takes his hand off. She...doesn't feel right either, and that hurts. Especially after his run in with Picky earlier, and the way he acted...]

No. It's fine. It's not your fault.

...It'll get fixed. I promise.

...........

Yeah.... maybe we can fix this...

[An idea is forming in her mind. Not the best idea, but it's better than doing nothing.]

Pokey.... remember when I said we'd be okay as long as we were together?

.....

[He's already thinking he may not like where you're going with this.]

...Yeah?

Well..... maybe that's true for everyone.

...I'm not totally sure I get where you're going with this squirt. Think you can explain?

I wanna show the town that we don't need lights or food or presents. That we won't give up no matter what they do!

[He thinks he gets it now.]

So you're going to get everyone together, huh?

...Alright. I'm in on that, I guess.

Then come to the big Christmas tree on Christmas eve, okay?
