[ WEEK TWO ]

[sheriffexe]

WEEK TWO

CURRENT POPULATION: 40 It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings. ... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours! Except there is, perhaps, a few things amiss. This post functions as the general mingle post for the week. Wanted Posters and other small events will be posted in top levels below. If there's any questions or requests, please send a PM or shoot a PP to robowest.

HOTEL.
[ Late Thursday morning, a beast is leaving Rin's room instead of Rin herself, red clothing rumpled and arranged as if she had halfheartedly pulled it on. ]

Good morning... [ Mumbles the beast as it descends the stairs connecting the floors, black hair sticking up at awkward angles and eyes that seem to be the very opposite of lively. Dark pits of despair and decay. The beast is taking a seat nearby and is slowly pulling a box of cereal to her chest. ] What did I miss...?

[ Anyway, guess who's not a morning person, but usually just... manages to keep it in? This girl. ]

WILCARD.
[ w/e come across her doing anything, let's go. ]

[...]

Is it your time of month or something?

[Sorry, Rin, he's a teenage boy.]

[glaring]

[ Any other time of the day she'd probably freak out on him, but right now she's just turning to stare at him with those empty eyes. ]

What are you talking about?

[insincerely]

... Wow, you're really out of it, aren't you?

[glaring]

Don't make comments about girls who didn't get the good sleep they deserve.

[ No, this is what happens almost every morning. ]

[insincerely]

So... was it your time of month?

[Poor Rin.]

[glaring]

D-don't be gross and nosy, either.

[ ...she seems to be waking up a bit, judging by her scowl. ]

[insincerely]

I'm asking a perfectly innocent question. Would you prefer the alternative of "Were you out murdering someone or digging up graves?"

[glaring]

None of the above.

[ A sigh. ]

But I told you I'd explain, so you can choose which one you want an explanation for.

[insincerely]

I'll pick your grave fetish, I guess.

[glaring]

That boy asked me to investigate graves with him. I was horrified, but he provided a good case for it, so we spent awhile digging up our own, just to see what was in there.

...you probably saw what we found for yourself.

[insincerely]

So... a grave fetish?

Though you two really are lucky no one caught you in the act, or that would've been highly suspicious.

[glaring]

If they had, all they would have seen is us finding some creepy skeletons. It wasn't nearly as interesting as you'd think.

[ ...she's going to ignore that grave fetish garbage. ]

[insincerely]

Oh, I'm sure it was pretty boring.

But imagine what people would think later on, when paranoia's running high: a corpse found in a grave, and knowing that you were meddling with graves just before...

[glaring]

You have a pretty low opinion of people, don't you?

[insincerely]

And here I thought I was hiding it so well.

[glaring]

Now that you've gotten your answer, I'm going back to my breakfast.

[ Before it becomes brunch, anyway. ]

[ Hannibal has already been up for quite a while by the time Rin wakes up, and in fact is just on his way to briefly return to his room and grab something. So by comparison, he's already quite awake and put-together, but at least he's also polite. He pauses when he's spoken to, and he gives her a little nod. ]

And good morning to you.

[ He pauses, wondering if he should comment on it, but decides to inquire gently: ]

Did you not sleep well? [ because you look a hot mess, girl ]

[glaring]

[ This is just her normal morning, it's fine... all fine.... ]

Hn... I don't know how anyone can. I'd much rather wake up on my own floor rather than the one here.

[ Normally she'd cover herself and just say her bed, without the entire "mentioning how she sometimes ends up awake on the floor" thing. ]

[sating]

[ It's an odd way to put it, and Hannibal's brow briefly comes together. He pauses, almost wondering if he misheard her, but he just asks further, albeit somewhat hesitantly. ]

...Have you been sleeping on the floor?

[ because if so he kind of sees the problem here ]

[glaring]

Ah—! No, of course not!

[ ...she's busted. ]

Not on purpose, at least...!

[sating]

[ ...Ah. He thinks he understands, and it gets his expression to quirk into a small smile. It's probably rude to tease, considering he doesn't know her beyond a name on a poster, but. He also can't help it in this case, so he inclines his head lightly. ]

Ah, then only a restless sleeper. I suppose it's good that the beds aren't very high, in that case?

[glaring]

Mmn, if I have to find one good thing about this place, that'd be it.

[ Well, at least she's pretty much fully awake now. ]

Do you happen to know what time it is?

[sating]

[ His smile quirks just a bit more, as if he's trying to hold back a laugh. Because, well. He might be. But he doesn't speak to whether this is a good or bad thing about the town. He holds his arm in in a gesture to move his sleeve back so he can look at the watch on his wrist. And I'm going to make up a time, so hopefully that's fine laughs ]

11:06 AM. You've still managed the morning, though not for very long.

[glaring]

[ IT IS!!!!!!!! ]

Fifty-four minutes is cutting the embarrassment level a bit close, it's true.
