Freetime

[ceasetoexist]

[After nearly a year stuck in town, Pokey's kind of figured out the flow of the town. And with the census' having come in, he already knows shit is about to go down. So now? Screw it. It's time to enjoy whatever time he has left to play.

He can be found around town today messing around in several ways.]

A. Grocery Shopping

[If you happen to be doing any shopping at the general store/grocery store today, feel free to notice the fat kid pushing a cart around and apparently doing some grocery shopping himself. Of course, when Pokey grocery shops, he goes for items you'd expect of a kid his size: cookies, sugary cereal, pretty much anything sweet or fattening that he can get his hands on. He also carelessly tosses away anything that he doesn't want. So yeah. Feel free to possibly have a box of something he deems lame accidenttaly thrown at your face.]

B. Grocery Store Parking Lot

[Remember how Pokey was grocery shopping? Well, he's found another use for his cart.

Specifically, he runs a bit, getting momentum, before putting his feet up on the bottom carrying part of the cart. And he is just tearing ass like this all over the parking lot, not really giving a damn. Sure, it's kinda stupid, but hell. It's fun too.

Of course, he's also not really watching where he's going. So there's a good chance Pokey might be smashing his cart into your car.

Or maybe you.]

C. At the Cinema

[Nothing better then a day at the cinemas, huh? Even if, you know. The movies are always the same. Well, the audience isn't exactly the same as it usually is.

If you happened to go to the movies today, you're probably going to have a hard time ignoring the kid near the front, considering he's loudly heckling and making a ruckus at the movie.]

D. At the Comic Shop

[Pokey usually didn't read comics, but hey, why not? This place is stupid as hell, and probably about to get a lot worse. So why not? He'll read some here, and get some to take home. And by "get some to take home", I mean he's occasionally looking around before quickly stuffing one in his coat, hoping no one caught him.

When he's not busy stealing, he's actually actively reading one. Specifically a Batman one. He doesn't think much of it until he stops and flips back a page on the comic he's reading at the moment, and stares. His eyebrows go wide for a moment, just staring.]

Oh, no way.....

E. At the Park with his BB Gun

[Well, to cap off his busy day, Pokey can be found in the park, having set up a couple of cans on one of the benches and continuing to practice with the BB gun he has at actually shooting.

He's still not great, but he's improved from last time. For once, it seems he's actually practicing and learning something.]

[Edward's just outside the comic shop, scouting out the area a little bit more. This place hasn't happened to get any new issues in stock lately, has it? ...how on earth do they get their imports in Mayfield, anyway?

Before the Riddler can even begin to ponder over this new question, though, he comes across a terrifying sight. Pokey shouldn't be---he shouldn't be reading that. He blanches a little bit before striding over to him.]

Pokey. Put that down.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Oh shit oh shit. The fact of who's speaking to him at the moment doesn't even cross his mind. His immediate thought is that someone caught him getting a five fingered discount, and he immediately flusters a bit.]

What I'm gonna pay for it I promise!

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

Give me that!

[Without waiting for a response, Edward reaches out to snatch the offending book in question from Pokey's fat little fingers, flipping through it, page by page.]

E - Because why not?

[[Aaron hears the shot hit the can and freezes in his tracks, not wanting to walk into a line of fire until he sees where it is coming from.

Too bad that means he's just standing still right in the open!]]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[It takes Pokey a moment, but yeah. He notices the wolf there. It doesn't look like Aisling's, which were the only ones he was familiar with in Mayfield. And he frowns. Okay, there has to be an intelligent way to go about this.

Which would be, of course, firing a shot at the wolf.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[He's tiny for a wolf.

Of course when Pokey takes a shot at him he tries to dive out of the way. Just barely escaping the first shot, he probably won't be that lucky next time.

That looks like it'd hurt so he tries to run for the nearest bushes.]]

[Slugger emerges from the store unaware that Pokey had even been there (though he did notice the mess) and is about to cross the parking lot when he hears the sound of something barreling his way. He stops short in time to watch Pokey and his cart-rocket go speeding by.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Pokey just smirks as he passes Slugger.]

Hey loser, finally decide to go into a store for on-

[And that's kinda cut short as his stupid little ass manages to slam into a parked car, knocking him flat off of the cart.]

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[How to you like that view of the sun, Pokey? Bet it's burning your eyes out. Until it's blocked by Slugger's head. He's standing over you, one hand in his pocket and the bat over his shoulder, just staring.

And also now smirking...

Does he even need to say anything?]

[Watching you from a tree.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[You get away with it for awhile Ai. Honestly, he doesn't notice you until catching you out of the corner of his eye. And then looking back again, to make sure he saw that right. And frowning.]

You want something?

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head. Nah, just being a creeper.]

[Lex is walking back home after obtaining some groceries. Passing by the store, Lex notices Pokey eying soemthing... comic books of the characters of his world.

In curiosity, Lex walks in.]

... what are these.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Pokey just quirks an eyebrow.]

What, you've never heard of a comic book before?

[greatestmanll40.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know what these comic books are... but they feature beings from my world.

[Lex grabs the nearest one featuring Superman... specifically, this one:

[The jolt, meanwhile, just kind of startles Pokey and knocks him off the cart a bit. He hadn't been meaning to hit you, Chell, but he's not exactly apologetic, either.]

Hey. Watch where you're going.

[Shana's there, with a huge-ass nodachi she's just practicing with. The plink of cans attracts her attention, and she walks over, the sword leaned casually over her right shoulder.]

Oh! It's you!

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Oh, it's the girl at the swing set. Well, he guesses you're not god-awful, so he guesses he'll tolerate you for the moment.

...He should probably say something.]

....Your sword is cool.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

The Nietono no Shana? I suppose it is. I was just practicing with it.

[She looks at the BB gun.] Looks like you're practicing too.

[When a box of oatmeal comes at her she quickly catches it and puts it into her own basket.]

Thanks. I was looking for this.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[When he sees her in person, Pokey's still not entirely sure what to say to Kyrie. On one hand, one of the last real encounters they had with each other culminated in her killing him. And that? It'd be hard to say there wasn't at least some animosity towards her for that, even if the encounter had reminded him he needed to watch himself more again.

But at the same time? It couldn't drown out the way he remembered her before then, when she'd been helping him. And especially during the fiasco that had been Christmas.

So he'll try and play it down the middle of the road. He'll shrug a bit, and keep his voice cheery, but he can't really bring himself to make eye contact.]

You're welcome, I guess.

....Shoppings kind of boring for the most part, huh?

[Oh look who is out doing his police job looking for thieves. Okay, no, actually he's totally skiving off. So he's going to lean over Pokey's shoulder to look at what he's reading.]

A good one, eh?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't matter if you're calling him on his thievery or not. Pokey still gives a bit of a jump from someone talking over his shoulder so quickly, before looking up in announce at the Doctor.]

Don't do that.

[Still, he smirks a bit.]

Heh, yeah. It is.
