Working on Leaving - Action/Phone

[ceasetoexist]

[Hey, guess who finally got put into a job, due to being a young teen? And lucky him, he gets to work as an usher at the theater. It's stupid, and pointless, but hey. It's something to do, right? So he might as well do it.

You can find Pokey doing the following today.]

A. Theater Job Prompts

A1. [Hey, you know how you're trying to watch the movie? Well, have fun trying to watch the movie when a flashlight ends up shining in your eyes, and a young voice says in a mockingly chipper tone.]

Ticket please.

[He thought this was funny as hell the first few times he did it. Clearly it'll be funny as hell however many times he does it.]

A2. [Hey look, the fat usher kid is doing something fairly expected and trying to sneak behind the snack counter to get himself something.

Stop him/point him out/irritate him?]

A3. [Oh hey, you accidentally lost something in the dark of the theater. Who knows, who cares how, you just need help finding it. Or maybe the movie's over and it's time for the usher to, you know, actually help get people out. But like hell he's doing that. Where is the little bastard.

In the very back seats of the theater, sleeping. That's where he'd be.]

B. On the Lawn of 502 Ricardo Street

[For those of you new here, hi. Feel free to notice the giant spider-like mecha that's currently on the lawn. Also feel free to notice the fat, blonde kid climbing around on it, apparently checking it. For once, Pokey's actually bothering to look Josephine/his mech over and due maintenance. Which, really, he should've been doing on a more consistent schedule, but hey. At least he got around to it sometime.]

Phone

So, with Father's Day coming up on Sunday, gotta know.

Did anyone here actually get along with their father?

Then you haven't seen anything yet.

Don't worry. You'll get to soon.

[ooeeooahah]

Oh, joy. As if Decoration Day wasn't twisted around enough.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

....Decoration Day?

[ooeeooahah]

Hm. It's called Memorial Day in some planes.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well why didn't you just say so?

Yeah. That sucked pretty bad.

[ooeeooahah]

Sorry, that's the first name for it that comes to mind - the cultures overlap, but not completely.

I failed on that test, completely.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Not from a world with an America in it? Me either. But most the holidays overlap, which is weird.

[ooeeooahah]

Well, a different America, it seems. The holidays here are seasons to endure, not enjoy.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure that's just this one town, or whatever, and not the whole world. Or what's left of it.

[ooeeooahah]

It's a closed system. If we're going to find as way out, we need to find a flaw to pick at.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

To bad we have to wait for them to reveal the flaw.

[ooeeooahah]

Doesn't mean we have to stop picking at them.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Except there's nothing to pick at.

[ooeeooahah]

Keep looking. We may be fish in a barrel, but being a moving target helps.
