[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.]

Oh, is that so?

What is in that basket anyway?

[He pauses. He actually kind of has to look inside the basket, considering how little attention he was paying as he threw shit in there.]

Some chips, ice cream, couple things of cookies.

Just some snacks.

None of which are healthy or filling in the slightest.

Yeah, well I got enough crap like that at the house. I'm just trying to balance it out.

[She sighs.]

It isn't called balancing if those snacks are all you plan to eat. [Really Pokey, be honest.]

[He just 'hmphs' and looks away a bit more.]

They aren't. I'm not stupid. I'm just fine, with how I eat.

[She flatfaces a little and sighs.]

I don't get why you assume that I think you're dumb, just because I'm saying something different from your current thinking. There's no need to be so insecure.

From: [identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com
[He prepares to interject yet again, then stops himself. This is clearly going to go nowhere. And honestly, it's rare when people don't appear to assume he's dumb. He doesn't know how to react. Pokey just pushes the cart back and forth, quietly, for a moment.]

I just wish people knew I can take care of myself, is all.

That's the problem - you can't. Acting like you can is only foolish.

[Pokey just stares at Kyrie for a moment, his face cycling through a range of emotions: anger, irritation, insecurity, sadness. Eventually he tries to do the best approximation of a poker face that he can. It doesn't matter if what Kyrie's saying is true, he'll still fight it.]

...It's just this place. I did fine takin' care of myself before I got here.

Did you really? [She shakes her head immediately after saying that.] Actually, there's no need to even answer that. It's irrelevant.

What's that supposed to mean?

[Even though he's frowning, his voice is definitely more defensive then offensive in tone.]

It means what it means. Whether you were capable of taking care of yourself back home or not is irrelevant, because you are not home.

From: [identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com
Okay, then I'll just....get...better taking care of myself here. I'm not a baby.

I never said that either. [She smirks lightly.] You should try to eat better though. That junk food won't help you grow.

Nothing will help me gr-

[He cuts himself off before getting to angry on the matter, before biting his bottom lip a bit. He just wheels the cart around a bit before nodding.]

Yeah, okay. I will.

[She nods and turns around, ready to leave without another word.

......

Oh wait.]


Pokey.

[He looks like he's about to leave anyway, but he stops and turns around to face Kyrie.]

Yeah?

[She doesn't turn around herself, but puts up one hand in a wave-like gesture.]

I got that card.

[She says no more and walks away.]

From: [identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com
[Pokey just stands there, entirely rooted to the spot for a moment. He'll wait for Kyrie to leave entirely before he even begins to say anything.]

Good.

Happy Mother's Day.

[And then he'll head out to leave himself.]</small.
