You Say I Don't Care, I Know I Don't Care (Phone/Action)

....Do you really think they're going to actually send us home or help us in any way? Think about it. If there really was that chance, the guy offering it would've been stopped cold. Your idiots if you honestly think this isn't another friggin' scam again. Because, you know, I am just overwhelmed with excitement to try this again after frickin' Christmas.

Are you people really just that desperate you're going to believe what this schmuck is selling?

[You can find Pokey wandering around town today. However, instead of the obnoxious strut he usually carries himself with, he actually looks subdued. Hell, his head is actually down most of the time while he's walking.

And what seems like aimless wandering at first soon seems to form a pattern. He stops at certain locations: houses of people he knows (or houses that used to have people he knew), certain spots in the roads, stores. And just stands there. And stares for a moment. At what, and why, who knows. But he'll stay there for a few moments at each location before eventually moving on.

And he'll do that from the morning until near sunset. When evening finally falls, he can be found sitting on top of his mech on the front lawn of his house, ballet in hand.

Just staring it down.]

I don't know which one to pick....

...Don't you wanna go back home?

Re: [action]

Yes.... I bet my Mommy and Daddy are worried about me. And Mr. Pemberton and Tad too...

But... I'll miss everyone here...

You'd be safer at home too.

[He won't mention the fact that your parents are apparently going to let you down in ten years, either. But hell. Even he'd think that in her case, it'd be better to have crappy parents like she does then be back here.

And he really did mean it when he said he believed in her.]

....Well. Josephine can travel between different dimensions. Maybe I could still come visit you if we leave.

You'd really come to see me?

[She can think of all kinds of fun things they could do.]

And then maybe I could come and see where you live.

[He just shrugs, trying to be as indifferent as he can. But when it comes to you, Mindy? That's hard.]

Yeah. Not like I have anything else to do.

[And he is just....oddly silent at that last statement.]

Maybe. ...My place isn't so great.

It's not...?

[This is about when she realizes that she doesn't know much about him at all...]

What kind of town do you live in? What is your house like?

[He's not entirely sure how to tell her that he, essentially, could never go back to his home even if he really wanted to. Unleashing a world eating monster on the world tends to do that. So he'll just pause for minute before patting the mech a little bit.]

Well....this right here is my home.
