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.]

[Pokey fights back the urge to recoil, to just...jump away as Slugger touches him. It works. It calms him down. It's Slugger, the real Slugger. The disgust, the feelings may not fade but...he knows it.

He just remains silent, still wanting to fight about Slugger deserving it as he quickly wipes his face off.]

...We should probably...find others like us. It may be a good idea to stick together.

[Thank you. Thanks. He doesn't say it out loud, but he's trying to compose himself better. And he hopes that the fact that he's listening shows that he's thankful, in his own weird way.]

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[It comes as a relief to Slugger when Pokey regains his composure. Seeing him break down like that wasn't exactly easy to watch. So much for choosing his words wisely; though, in a way, it might have been helpful for both of them to let Pokey get it out of his system. There are still some things Pokey had said that bother him, specifically the part about pushing others away. It makes him think about the past year, all that they've been through.]

...Remember when I killed you? And then you killed me?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

....Yeah?

So what?

[He's serious. If he thinks it's a big deal? His tone sure isn't showing it.]

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[That response actually gets a smirk out of him. Evidently, you haven't thought about it much, either.]

Didn't make a difference, did it?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

...I guess not.

[He tries not to smirk back. But it's hard. There really is no reason for them to have gotten to the point they're at now.]

I just.....I dunno. I just don't know.

[He shrugs in defeat. He guesses it's something they'll have to talk about eventually, but he can't right now.]

....You still okay at your house, or....something happen?

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[Hah. He got you there, Pokey. But his grin soon fades at the mention of his "family".]

They think I'm fake. Even Susan...

[It was hard hearing her call him a fraud. He couldn't stay.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Wow. That sucks pretty hard, he has to admit. He doesn't really have to worry about the parents in his not!family, since the only member of it he's close with is Clod. But he can imagine, all things considered, how bad that must have been.]

You can come over to my place, if you need a place to stay until this blows over.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

I might...

[Meaning he probably definitely will for at least a day or two.]

Thanks.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[He just nods.]

No problem.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[Slugger glances back at his house, then begins moving toward the sidewalk. Going back inside right now isn't an option.]

...

Ai said 'yes', too.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

....I saw.

I ran into her on the way here.
