[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.]

[Pokey pauses, and raises an eyebrow, ceasing his frantic jumping up and down.]

....Why?

[Because it has to be for a reason other then the fact that you were in it, Eddie.]

Does it matter? You never saw this. Not once. Understood?

Uh, yeah. It does matter.

[Because he's nosy, and he wants to know. So there.]

What's going on?

[Edward's eyes narrow.]

Seeing as you've already skimmed through it, there's hardly any point in hiding this from you, is there? You see this?

[And he flashes the cover at Pokey once again. He points at the man in the cowl.]

This is my archrival. The World's Greatest Detective. Batman. I don't suppose I've mentioned him to you before, have I?

[Pokey shrugs, shaking his head.]

You didn't mention him, but you said you were a super criminal back home so it kinda figured you'd have some kind of rival.

Batman is a self-righteous vigilante. And a fool. And a cheater. He's always stood in my way, criminal activity or no. But there's more to him than just a cape, a cowl and the need to strike fear into the hearts of all criminals.

At the end of the day, Batman is still just a man. Even without that stupid belt full of gadgets or that ridiculous car of his---[He's definitely overcompensating for something with that car, in Edward's opinion.]---he's still just a human being. He has a life outside of this, as hard as that may be to believe. He has an identity outside of Batman. One that has to be kept a secret, or else there's no point.

It's a secret, Pokey, that this piece-of-trash publication hardly seems to mind sharing with the rest of this town.

[Pokey smirks at first while listening. Yeah, he gets the idea of hero woes. Though he frowns when you get to the end, Edward. He doesn't get something.]

....Shouldn't you be happy then? I mean, if you know his identity, it'd make it a lot easier to get back at him.

You don't understand. I know who he is. I've known for some time now. Now then, riddle me this. Imagine you know something that nobody else knows about him. You know his greatest weakness.

What good is it going to be if everyone else already knows about it as well? Hmm?

.....Oh.

[No, Pokey guesses he can actually get that. That'd kind of suck if he had been able to find a way to really beat down Ness and the other Chosen Four, and some jerk found out about it too and beat him to it.]

...What're you going to do then? Steal the comics from the shop?

[He glances around, briefly, before leaning down and whispering to Pokey in a conspiratorial manner.]

I'd be hard-pressed to find any other options. These need to be destroyed. Now.

Okay question.

What makes you think they won't just bring in new copies? Are you going to do this every day?

Date: 2011-05-18 05:31 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] puzzlerprince.livejournal.com
Good question.

[And it's definitely one he's considered. He'd considered burning the store down, too, though from what he's heard, not even the destruction of property lasts more than a day in this town.]

I suppose I'll be finding the answer soon, won't I?

[Note that he doesn't say that he isn't planning to do this every day, Pokey.]

[He snickers a bit.]

Guess you will.

Tell me how it pans out for you.

Will do.

[And he walks off. With Pokey's comic still in hand. Sorry, kiddo.]

[Oh you son of a bitch.

Doesn't matter. There's more issues here. Think he'll take a few, as much as for possible blackmail as much as wanting to read them.

He likes you Eddie, but hey. Pays to be prepared.]</small.
