event: portal seven | the void
The final portal doesn't seem to be a portal at all. It's a glitch hole.
Located on the lawn of the library is a hole much like the ones that have plagued every new location for the past week. As with them, it hurts your eyes to look at too long, but even if you should muscle past the pain and stare straight into it, you can make out nothing on the other side. Nothing, save for a shifting, twitching, swirling void.
Unlike the portals, which were vertically placed like doorways, the hole at the Library is strewn across the lawn: if you want to enter it, you're going to have to jump. Of course, there's no guarantee it will even lead anywhere. Touching the hole or sticking your arm in doesn't have any effect: you'll pull your arm out unharmed. As far as jumping in completely goes, those who jump in disappear from sight. As long as you're on the Mayfield side, there's no way to tell what lies beyond the hole.
There's only one way to find out.
[ooc: Feel free to roleplay up to the point your characters jump in, assuming they do. A single group subthread will be created in a few hours revealing what happens on the other side.]

[he's obviously joking, but if it isn't apparent at first it will be when he reaches down to ruffle the boy's hair. he's obnoxious like that.]
Maybe to some people. It is to me, though.
no subject
[Was that defensiveness? Yes it was! Pokey tries to lean out of the hair ruffling as well. But not too much.]
...I'm just a bad kid. What's there to know?
no subject
[it's not a wheedling tone of voice that he speaks in per say, though it should be obvious that he's trying to goad the other into elaborating.]
What else do you like to do?
no subject
[Pokey thinks for a moment before shrugging awkwardly.]
I don't know. Maybe that's a cop out but....I dunno. Hobbies and spare time isn't something I've put much thought into.
no subject
That's hard to believe. Every kid has a hobby or a niche. Mine's been inventing ever since I was your age.
no subject
....I guess it's easy to say I had hobbies. But I've changed. And I'm not interested in them anymore.
no subject
It happens.
[he punctuates it with a shrug and for a few seconds it seems like that's that. he looks down at his shoes, thinking.]
Are you looking forward to it?
no subject
[In the back of his mind, Pokey has an inkling of what he thinks the Once-ler is going to say. Is he looking forward to going back home. Because that's the big question on everyone's minds, as far as Pokey can tell.
And like everyone else, Pokey has an answer.]
no subject
[he's genuinely curious but it is an abrupt question. he peeks up expectantly.]
Sorry, I know it sounds weird. You don't have to answer it.
no subject
[And that's a matter of fact.]
no subject
no subject
[Even if he wasn't born here. And the home thing isn't that important, even if this town is the first place he's ever felt at home in. There's too many reasons he just can't go back, and Pokey doesn't feel like expanding on them.]
