Thirteenth Scale - Visual

[ceasetoexist]

[Oh look, it's a little dumb dragon in a big dumb hardhat, a set of blueprints rolled up under his arm.]

So yeah I get that the last several weeks - hey, lets call it, the last month - has sucked pretty bad, but you know what doesn't suck really bad?

Video games~

See, since there's a lot of dumb, empty land around the place, we're taking some of that dumb empty land outside town and making it awesome by putting an arcade there. It should be up and running by this time next month, but hey since this place is lame and not like there's much else to do...

You can come and test some of the machines my boys and I made so far. You know. Get a chance to play a few games for free. I'm a pretty nice guy, so I think I can spare that for you, cause you'll be coming back when it opens in proper next month.

Though if you're gonna send a few bits my way, hey, I don't mind.

[He thinks for a moment. And then?

Shakes his head.]

Only for a little bit. Hopefully I can keep it up.

But I don't know if I can without help. But I've got to try. I...I dunno.

I owe it to people, is all.

You do not need to it alone...I can help...in some way...

[Pokey is quiet for a moment. He's conflicted, in a lot of ways. He wants to do this on his own; he wants to tell people to shut up and leave him be to do this. Just let him do it.

But at the same time? He's grateful for the offer. He smiles, just a small bit.]

Yeah?

What do you think you can do?

[He nods. Sorry Pokey, he has a bit of a helping complex.]

We are friends...I could try to bring him...

I don't think he'll have much trouble coming. He...kind of thinks he's running the place. That's part of it, to keep him here.

...You being here could help anyway. You're one of the few people I've told anything about this. I dunno, I mean. I'm kind of trying to figure out how to do this on the fly. But maybe even if you're just here...we'll figure out what we need to do when the time comes?

[He's still not sure of it himself, doesn't have a great grasp on it. But he's trying.]

[He thinks he gets the general gist.]

I shall be by your side.

When all else fails, I can bite him.
