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.]

Oh yeah I must be doing it because of you! It must all be because of your stupid world, huh?

[He wipes his eyes with his sleeve, gritting his teeth to keep from sniveling. He's so angry right now, and upset and...he doesn't want this fake of the stupid future boy to see that.]

Well it was! Some of it was, okay? But I have people here too that I c-care about and I just wanted to give them something! That's all I wanted! They deserved something better and they deserve a better friend than me! I'm not even a real existence by this point! It's meaningless, so I'd try to leave something with meaning there instead!

Happy now? Are you happy now?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

...Not really.

[Lucas lowers his head a little.]

I think I made a mistake. I think... convincing you that friendship was important without showing you all the other things that makes it what it is... love, hope, forgiveness... That wasn't the right thing to do.

Your friends wouldn't be happier if you were gone. Your friends are your friends because... they like you.

Have you talked to them any of them at all yet? ...They're all really angry at you, right? And you know the reason is because they don't want a replacement or a fake or to forget you existed. They want you.

[He has. And they were. And in between his self-righteousness, his selfishness, and the belief that he has to be right on this...he still isn't fully sure how to process that.]

It doesn't matter. I'll ruin it in the end. I ruin everything. It's better to give something while I still can and still care before everything goes wrong.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Whether or not you ruin something is up to you. Don't you see? You really do have a chance to give something, if you can only see what it is that you have to give.

[He pauses for a moment or two before fumbling around in his pocket for what he had been playing with earlier. After a few moments, he holds out a battered old yellow yo-yo.]

Ness never gave up on you.

You shouldn't give up on yourself.

[Pokey just stares for a moment, before looking away again. He can't. He can't look at this version of Lucas, and he can't think of anything to say, and he can't anything as far as anything is concerned. So he just stares a moment before beginning to turn around and walk away again.]

...Maybe.

Or maybe I just realize what I really am for once.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[Lucas slowly pockets the yo-yo again.]

...Pokey.

Pay attention to what happens. ...And see if that's what you really want.

[And that was that. Lucas turns away as well and begins to head home. If only he could be so emotionally detached from his own gut-jerk instincts every time he saw Pokey. The fake, in his eyes, had been a boon today.]
