Some Days are Better then Others - Phone/Action

[ceasetoexist]

[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? Are you okay?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Just dusting himself off as he gets back up. He actually seems less irritated then he usually would.]

Who me? I'm awesome.

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Did you just get this back?

[Peering up at the crazy spider mech.]

It looks like something Team Rocket would use...

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

What? Naw, I've had Josephine for months. Just haven't had a bunch of her functions back for awhile.


That's the crazy terrorist group from your world, right?

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they go around trying to steal Pokemon.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Don't sound like they're really all that good at it, from what I've heard.

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're really not.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Eh, but hey, someone's gotta be the bad guy, I guess.

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

They're persistent, at least.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Big trait of being a villain.

I miss anything while I was droned?

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Actually, you missed the KND meeting. I would've waited if I'd known. It went pretty well, though! You were right about what you said earlier.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs.]

Of course I was. It's pretty rare when I'm wrong.

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Thanks again for the encouragement.

[She smiles, nodding.]

I did decide to change our mission a little bit, though, if you're still interested.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[He pauses for a moment, looking away a bit as he speaks.]

...Look. I'm in this thing with the rest of you chumps til the end of it. That's all there is on the matter.

[And he looks back to her.]

I'm in. What's the change.

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Fighting the town itself isn't going to really get us anywhere. They're too strong, and nobody's ever been able to beat Grady or the others - or at least, not for good. So I was thinking for as long as we're still stuck here, instead we should try to protect people when bad things happen. If you think about it, there's a lot of kids in town who can't fight for themselves, and a lot of adults who don't really care about protecting the kids that ended up in their houses. So that's what we'd do instead. We can build a new secret base and use it as a place where kids can come to hide out when things get bad at home or if the whole town's in danger again, and we'll keep an eye out for trouble around town and help the ones that are in trouble.

What do you think?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

...If we're building a secondary base specifically for hiding, we're going to want it someplace outside the residential area. Underground is probably out, but possibly we can find a secluded area in the park to put it. ...I know how to make a small scale teleporter, though I'd need to practice since I've only been shown how to make it, instead of actually doing it myself. But if I can get it running, we could have a quick escape between the regular treehouse and the more hidden base as well.

Does that work?

...Wow! That's amazing!

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Can you really do all that? That's awesome!

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Oh hell yes there's the kind of reaction he deserves when he does anything. He just puts on the biggest grin he can at that.]

'Course I can do it. I wouldn't say it if I couldn't. It's a really small scale one, can only do a person at a time, but it's better then nothing.

[noneed-2worry.livejournal.com]

Still, though, that's really incredible! If you can do that for us, that would be a big help!

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sure. Whatever. It's nothing, so calm down. Sheesh.

....Just tell me if you need anything else, alright pollyanna?
