robowest | [ WEEK TWO ]

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

Yup. Believe it or not, it was just sitting on the station porch. Again, assuming he's not dead by then, Jason can verify that Xion and I were there, in case no one believes us.

[Not that Jason could see them or properly hear what they said (beyond those times when Shinnosuke trolled him), but close enough.]

I never said anything about not believing it, but even you have to think it's pretty weird it was sitting there. [But on the other hand:] Was it facing Jason? Or was it facing the station?

I'm completely aware of how weird it is. [Hence why he got all paranoid and wouldn't touch it at first, just... in case...] Towards Jason.

[...well. RIP Jason.]

Here's what I don't get. If the camera was facing Jason and it was recording but it was showing everything in the hotel...technology doesn't work like that. [Yes thank you, Percy. This is why you're not an Athena kid.] Does that mean that there's another camera hidden somewhere in the hotel that's probably watching Jason?

[He's not expecting Shinnosuke to know, he's mostly musing out loud.] You tried all of the buttons, I'm guessing.

"Back" and "next" change screens. It also records, but Xion and I didn't really test that out yet. Nothing in its memory, though.

Which means it's either brand new, or our Sheriff's taking footage off and storing it somewhere else. Is it bad if I think it's probably the latter? Maybe it's information for his employers to watch us.

Like a bunch of good voyeurs. It's definitely a possibility.

[He opens his mouth like he's about to say something in the way of Shinnosuke and voyeurs, but he thinks better of it.]

If that camera was showing things around the hotel, what about the rest of the town? It seems even weirder that it's just in this place. [Hm.] What if the footage was fake? You didn't see anybody or anything moving did you?

We did, actually. To name one example, we saw Yuna and Mr. Lecter cleaning up after their party at around [insert whatever time]. You can verify with them.

Oh. [WELL.] Okay, so there goes that idea. Probably means the cameras around the hotel are so hidden we can't even see them. I don't think those two would let something like that go missed.

Yeah.

... Well, Yuna seems a little clumsy, but that other guy seems stiff enough to not miss a detail like that.

Mr. Lecter's one of those guys that's probably way too focused on details to miss something like that. Didn't you see the menu from Xion's party? But my point stands.

I was trying to stay out of that party, actually. But yeah, that's the impression I got from him.

Which we come back to the cameras are really well hidden or--what do you mean you stayed out of the party? [Dude? Be nice to the small child?]

[No.]

I don't do parties. [Or "hanging out with people", period.] Let's get back to the important subject now, please?

That's still an important subject. [But fuck, whatever, fine.] People were looking around town for bugs or cameras when we first got here and we didn't find anything.

[...hm.] A lot of hotels have surveillance cameras don't they? Security purposes and stuff.

If we didn't find anything earlier, our chances of finding something now aren't great... but then again, I wouldn't have thought that this thing would just be plopped on Mr. Sheriff's porch, so who knows?

But yeah, sounds about right.

That's kind of how I feel about it, too. We looked everywhere and found nothing, and now this is totally obvious. If that's not sketchy I don't know what is.

Sounds like we're really keeping it though. Maybe we'll get answers in the morning.

Answers to go along with our newest victim, whoever it may be?

[Shinnosuke? There are children here?]

Maybe. I'm hoping not, but maybe.

[#yolo]

Well, if people want to use this camera to prevent any more murders from happening, we do need to consider how Mr. Sheriff might react to that.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, etc.

[ thanks for trying, percy. ]

[ thanks guys... ]

To did not notice any cameras, no. Not in the kitchen, nor anywhere else.

Good to know.

[not sorry for calling you stiff]

[An apologetic smile.]

Thanks for confirming, Dr. Lecter. [Yeah he doesn't notice he slipped and made this more respectful than he should have, oh well.]
