[Slugger grins playfully at the sight of his best friend approaching but it isn't just his usual grin, toothy and mischievous. There's a lightness to it, something genuine and happy and benign.]

Sort of.

[On the top of the hill of rocks, he stuffs the notebook into his backpack.]

Your coat's too long.

[Pokey can't help it; his own smirk drops a bit. Or perhaps it would be better to say that it widens, becoming a true smile in and of itself.

Still, he snorts at the second statement, waggling his sleeves a bit as if airing them out as he speaks.]

Yeah. I know. It's called being fashionable, idiot.

[Actually he's too burnt out to fix his mistake.]

[strike_you_out]

Fashionably lame? I get it.

[The backpack is slung onto his back as he turns and stands poised with his bat upon his shoulder, a parody of a town founder statue.]

[ceasetoexist]

The term is "fashionably late", and it's what you are when it comes to having a witty one liner.

[He sneers a little, practically getting ready to blow a raspberry.]

You're just jealous, is all.

[strike_you_out]

No, you are. [He points a finger to the horizon and freezes.]

Because I found this town and called it... Myfield.

[Get it? Good thing he isn't being serious.]

[Pokey just follows the direction Slugger is laughing. And stares for a moment, before looking back to Slugger. Pokey's chest began to heave, lightly at first and then with more and more force.

Soon he's laughing. Genuine laughter. It's such a stupid joke but for some reason it is the funniest thing in the world he's ever heard. In this moment in time, it's just the funniest damn thing ever.]

[...Slugger lowers his arm and looks at Pokey as if he's finally lost it. But the sound is just too amusing and before long, Slugger starts laughing at the sight of Pokey laughing. And once it starts, it turns into one of those fits that's hard to stop.]
