Some Days are Better then Others - Phone/Action

[Action Locked to 502 Ricardo Street]

[Hey new not!family members, enjoy having the day start with some incomprehensible screaming coming from one of the kid's rooms before it finally stops, the kid stomping out of his room and slamming the door closed as he makes his way down to the kitchen to get some breakfast.

Which he'll still cause a mess doing, despite the fact that he's just getting some cereal. He doesn't really care about cleanliness, at the moment, and he manages to spill quite a bit of cereal and milk on the counter due to his irritation before finally taking a seat at the table to eat.

Pokey for his part looks about as friendly as a rabid pitbull at the moment. Enjoy meeting your new not!son/brother, everyone.]


[Phone]

Oh man, there is just nothing that makes you feel better then getting friggin' droned. No really, wonderful! Especially since I didn't do anything this time other then...well, okay, I can think of some things, heh.

Anyway, did I actually manage to miss anything important while I was gone? Except, you know, you people deciding to have a dance for some reason, which is just a great reaction to everything we learned. Well, I guess it's kind of funny in a stupid way, but whatever. Dances are just stupid in general.

And, oh boy, we got crap back from the Post Office after everything that went wrong last month!

[And there's the sound of him opening his letter, voice going even more cheerfully mocking.]

Gee, I wonder if it'll actually give me something worthwhile this time, since it didn't last-

[A pause.]

Heh. Hehehehehehe.

You know something? Life can be pretty cool sometimes.

[Action]

[Hey, look out at your yard, or the street across from your house. See something? It'll look like something's shimmering for a minute. It's vague, and featureless, though after a few seconds it starts to gain more and more features. Until finally, it comes into view as a rather large spider mech appears there.

And then the cockpit'll open, Pokey gleefully, climbering out of it and on top of the mech.]


Ahahahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It was about friggin' time I-WHOA!

[And that'd be Pokey managing to slip off the top of the mech and face-planting into the ground.]

[Pokey'll just pocket the band-aids for now, though he'll use the tissues to clean his bleeding nose up.]

Yeah, I know. Josephine's super sweet. There's nothing else like her.

Hey, that's not true! Even I get depressed and feel like giving up sometimes.

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, now you're starting to piss him off Dave.]

Yeah? Well what do you have that's so friggin' great, huh?

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but you don't show it to others that often, do you?

[identity profile] noneed-2worry.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Just my close friends, I guess.

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs, nonchalantly.]

There you go. You probably don't do it because you don't want others to get sad too or some crap either, right? So you only show it to a few people.

...THat's probably another sign of a leader, I guess.

...Anything else you wanna talk about?

[identity profile] noneed-2worry.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I just don't think it's worth sitting around and moping about something for too long. It's not like staying upset will change anything. You have to stand back up and keep trying! Something like that, anyway.

[Dawn clenches a fist and nods confidently, smiling.]

...I dunno. How have you been doing? I mean, besides getting droned.

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Me?

Fine I guess. Fine as I usually am.

Cool, I don't think they're the types to try and hurt people. Though who knows who'll come into this town next.

It doesn't have a chrome finish though.

[identity profile] noneed-2worry.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't really talk about yourself a lot, so it's hard to tell sometimes. But I'm glad you're doing all right.

[identity profile] timetables.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[who doesn't he piss off...]

I don't need anything to be great. That's kind of the point.

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-04-15 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's looking very interested in you now, Pokey.]

So you've seen it done?

[identity profile] ashotajackasany.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's charming. I'm so fucked.

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, mystery is my middle name. And sure. I'm fine. So don't worry about it. I can handle myself.

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'm four hundred years old. I've seen a lot of things.

Know at least two of 'em aren't.

Pretty much. Never know when some jerk is gonna want to start a fight.

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
It's not as bad as you think.

Well, okay, honestly it's probably worse. But you get used to it. And it's not like these jerks can keep us here forever.

Action

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
So?

It doesn't need a chrome finish to be the awesomest thing you've ever seen!

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, so you're just comfortable with how unbelievably lame you are. Gotcha.

Guess that works for some people.

[identity profile] timetables.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
You mean I don't rely on robo arachnids to make myself seem cool.

Yeah, that definitely makes me the lame one of us.

[identity profile] godisachild.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
You don't seem to do anything but be a giant jerk. Which is cool, I guess, when it isn't aimed at me.

[identity profile] timetables.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Sadly I have little control over where it goes, it just diffuses in all directions. It lacks any targeting or aim whatsoever.

It looks like a monster from a Japanese sentai show.

[identity profile] noneed-2worry.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
Okay then. But if you ever want to talk about anything...
