Pokey the Explorer

[ceasetoexist]

[He knew the candy would have some kind of odd side effect from observing everyone. And he'd managed, somehow, to keep himself from eating any so far. I mean, after all, he didn't want to fall for yet another of the town's traps. That'd be stupid. And this one was so easily avoidable. But he had to admit...some of the things it did to people...that was pretty cool. Like superpowers. He wouldn't mind having some of that. And that candy was lookin' mighty tasty...

So, today, you'll see Pokey dressed up in whatever rugged, gray colored clothes and hat he could find, B.B. gun at his side as he stalks around town. He seems a little grumpy at the moment: this place is supposed to be rich with exotic animals, but so far nothing. Most boring safari ever.]

[Sitting on a swing.]

[Just spotting you and putting a finger to his lips. If there's anything here, he doesn't want anyone scaring them off.]

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Just watching quietly.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Still looking. Still looking. God knows what the kid is hoping to find.

So he'll be heading to your backyard. And in a few moments, you're going to hear what sounds like him trying to open your back door.]

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

[Oh yeah the doors opened. You know what's weird though? The first room you walk into. Ai will be sitting there. Funny. You didn't hear her come in.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[If he finds it odd, Pokey doesn't show it. After all, all you natives of this strange, foreign country look the same.]

Do you speak English, or do you only know the local dialect?

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

English.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Very good.

Do you know anything about the local flora and fauna? I've been looking for a greater period of the day, and have found nothing.

[Be careful not to trip over that fallen warrior.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[What's this? The man looks to be dressed quite oddly, almost as if he was from several hundred years ago! What kind of time traveling shenanigans are these?

But he isn't moving. That could mean one of the natives might have gotten him with something, so he'll check for a pulse.]

[Feferi is not exactly feeling much like herself, either, but it wouldn't be completely incorrect for Pokey to mistake her for some sort of bizarre giant lungfish, under the influence of this candy.]

Fuck, you can't do anythin' in this fuckin' town without wanderin' into some kinda roadblock.

Landdwellin' peasant! Where can I get some buildin' materials around here that aren't a piece of shit?! Gotta do ewerything by myself now, gogdamn.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[What's this? Some kind of horrible mutant, as one would only find in the Amazon. Or wherever the fuck he thinks he is at the moment. And it talks, as well! He could make a mint off this thing.

Hope you're ready Fef, because he's going to try and club you unconscious with his BB Gun now.]

[fish-puns.livejournal.com]

[Fortunately, Feferi manages to dodge. Trolls gotta be aware of their surroundings on Alternia.]

W-Whoa! I can appreciate some flippin' landdweller who thinks he can stand up against me, but don't get ridiculous.

You're not even holdin' your weapon right.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

I'd suggest you stay quiet. You'll be doing all the talking you need to when you're performing in the circus.

[Swinging like a stupid little spaz again.]

[fish-puns.livejournal.com]

Kidnappin', huh? That's willany on a pretty low scale, considerin' things. Sorta inconsiderate, too.

[She grabs the end of the gun in an attempt to prevent him from swinging.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, that isn't too hard Fef, especially since he's swingin' that shit one handed. He's gonna try and pull it away though.]

Now look, I-

Wait.

Did you say willany? What is that supposed to be?

[fish-puns.livejournal.com]

[EXASPERATED GROAN.]

That can't really be your reaction to seein' a high class troll such as myself. Ewerybody should be lyin' prostrate just ower glancin' at me.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

My God.

A rare animal with a speech impediment. I'll make millions!

[Now he's just going to try and bowl you over by running into you.]

[insectoidalien.livejournal.com]

[Hey, Pokey! If you look to your left, you might catch a glimpse of the rare Tinigreenis Alienis! She's pretty hard to miss, actually, what with the white dress-like markings, the milkman hat, and the basket of milk foraged from the supermarket]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[My God, if he bags this one, he would be renown far and wide! He takes position behind some local shrubbery, hoping his prey didn't spot him.

He waits a moment, waits....fires!]

[insectoidalien.livejournal.com]

[BOOM HEADSHOT

Unfortunately for Pokey, the BB pellet has all the effectiveness of a pebble thrown particularly hard. Aside from a small bruise, Tak is more or less unfazed]

Oww!

If you wanted milk that bad, you should have just asked!

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Egads its a milk vending variety! That's like...that's a sort of rarity that he can't even properly comprehend.]

You! I demand you come with me peacefully!

[insectoidalien.livejournal.com]

[She smiles, even as a little stray blood from the wound trickles down her face. She can't be worried about a little boo-boo when there's milk pushing to be done]

I appreciate the invitation, but I can't run off on the job! Speaking of the job, do you want some milk?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Hmmm....perhaps the weird creature's beverage has some kind of unknown properties! It would be foolish not to attempt to sample it.]

Alright then. I will take as much of your libation as I can carry.

Don't worry Poacher Porky, stuff ain't the poisoned kind

[insectoidalien.livejournal.com]

[She pulls the basket juuust out of his reach]

Ah-ah! One bottle per customer!
