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

[Phone]

....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?

[Action]

[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.]

[The very fact that she hasn't done anything to the postman yet is worth some thought...]

He must be useful somehow that she hasn't killed him.

[And an entirely unrelated afterthought]

I wonder what the drones did to be droned so long.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Most likely. Or that she can't> kill him.

[He just smirks a little.]

Who's to say they did anything and that it isn't something else. Like just staying here long enough may cause droning to naturally occur. Or people give up and allow it to happen to them.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

Possibly.

[The second thing, yes, he's thought of it that way, too, especially based on whatever small pieces of evidence he's gathered. But he'd rather think otherwise because getting permanently droned for just being here too long? Fucking unnerving. That pretty much suggests it's inevitable.]

Maybe it's still reversible, even for them...

[Pokey just starts rapping his fingers on the ground, thinking. He's unnerved by the possibility of it being inevitable too, but at the same time? He's had to deal with so much dangerous, weird bullshit before that is isn't too hard to think on for him. Or even really fear it. He's gotten out of stupider, weirder possible dooms, no reason he can't cheat this one.]

Anything's possible, but we can't really know that without knowing more about how the town operates, or if there's an ulterior motive for having us droned then just assuring compliance. There has to be.
