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?

Sweet, thanks! [Yeah, he's going to be fully appreciating every bolt and joint on this thing. ...And then kind of wish he at least had some of his stuff from back home, but oh well. Maybe he'll get some of them eventually.]

Ah, I can understand that. Especially when said people don't know the first thing about handling such delicate equipment. I can't tell you how many computers my friends have broken back home.

[...Oh, right. That term isn't exactly universal.]

Yeah, we have 'Zords' back home. Basically giant robots that can combine together. Some of them are animal shaped, some of them are just... giant vehicle shaped. Regardless of which type, when they come together they form a huge robot that can... well, beat up other robots and giant aliens and stuff.

Tell me about it.

[In his case, it's because there's someone who can hack it and has taken control of it away from him due to some technomancy crap, but you know what? Other people are incompetent. Yeah. We'll go with that one.]

...Awesome. And that happens all the time where you're from? It kinda happened for awhile where I'm from. Made things a lot more interesting.

Interesting? Well, I guess. Thankfully, after we took out Emperor Grumm things got a little less crazy. You still get your weird space criminals from time to time, but yeah. IF nothing else, it's a nice little workout.
