68th - Action
[Action - Around Town/The Post Office]
[When Pokey had first gotten into town, he had set about on making a map of the town. And in the two years since then, he hadn't really touched it. Despite how similar looking every house was, there was enough with the opening of the highway and several of the new neighborhoods he supposed it was time to update it. Perhaps for the sake of others even more than his own sake, this time.
So the boy can be found pretty much everywhere around town, a long tube of rolled up paper with him that he unfurls to start tracing down the area. Of course, he also doesn't get the idea of personally property. He'll be all over peoples lawns, including busting into the back lawns to look around and take notes down. Hope you don't mind a fat blue kid copying down notes about your stuff and the area.
Eventually his little adventure takes him by the post office. And for a moment or two he just looks at the Post Office. Examining it. As if trying to prepare himself for something. Because despite telling himself he was just out to make a map today, there are quite a few things he has planned. He takes a short breath in, then out, and enters the post office.
When he comes out, he doesn't have anything new with him. Or look like much has changed, aside from one small detail: his blue skin has changed back to a healthier, more light pink human shade. And for a moment the map is just forgotten. He ambles about town for a little bit, just looking around. And thinking. There's still something else really important he has to do today.]
[Action - Outside 625 Topper]
[The next place Pokey can be found is mulling around outside 625 Topper Street. He spends a good five minutes just staring at the house from across the street, biting his lip, before he walks towards it. And even then he doesn't go and knock on the door immediately. Instead, he decides to just pace back and forth on the lawn for a good ten to fifteen minutes or so. He murmurs to himself, sometimes gesturing a little bit as he talks. It's a quiet, nervous tone, almost like someone rehearsing.
Finally, after a little bit of time has passed he manages to steel himself and go knock on the door.]
[Action - Outside 502 Ricardo Street]
[Well. Everything is calm on Ricardo Street today. That is, until the front door of 502 bursts open and Pokey's still blue-painted Pokeybot bursts out the door, running as fast as it's fat little mechanical legs can take it down the porch of the house. Whatever is happening the robot certainly isn't amused.]
I said no!
[And it isn't too long before Pokey appears following behind the robot, a brush and a can of paint stripper in hand. Whereas the robot is scared and annoyed, Pokey is downright angry.]
And I said your opinion doesn't matter! Get back here stupid!
[The Pokeybots are intended to be obedient. It's part of their programming. But there's only so much one little robot can take, and it picks up a rock and throws it at Pokey, trying to keep his master away.]
No! How about you just paint yourself blue again and we'll call it even! This is dumb and I don't want to be painted again!
First off, I didn't PAINT myself blue, stupid! Secondly, this'll be quicker! It's paint stripper!
....Will that even work?
....Won't know til we try, will we?
[And that's when Pokey will try and rush the robot.
Have you ever seen a boy yell at his blue doppelganger as the doppelganger hides in a tree, mocking him? Because that's what you'll be seeing right now if you pass 502 Ricardo.]

Whatcha doing kid?
no subject
Making a map. What's it look like.
no subject
He shrugs. ] I've never seen someone make a map before.
no subject
Even if the places all look the same, it's a good idea to know what the exact layout is. Especially with how wrong things can go here.
no subject
[ He points with his pipe in Pokey's direction. ] You better make me one too then, kid.
no subject
You new here?
no subject
Nah, not really. Just figured it'd be good to have. [ Gasp! A logic thought from Nurarihyon, you better run now! ]
no subject
How long've you been here? Don't think I've run into you before.
no subject
5...6 months?
no subject
Still not the worst thing we've gone through, but at least you have a good idea of what the place is like.
no subject
What's the worst thing then?
no subject
no subject
no subject
[He's...clamming up pretty quickly at this point.]
no subject
[ It's not that important to know anyway. And even though he's an idiot , he picks up on the guy's mood, he does a not-very-subtle subject change. ]
So you going to that prom-thing?
