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.
[ Perhaps weirdly, Sara can't be found at the saloon today. Not that anyone ought to be looking for her, but if they even bother trying to, they'll find her near the homestead. With a sword that's kind of... bigger than she is, but that's fine, she seems to be handling it just fine. From the way she's swinging it, then trying different angles and very rarely switching her stance, it looks like training.
But as it is a big sword, please warn her before you go jumping out in front of her to say hello. ]
[ Wednesday, any time. ]
[ Not so oddly, Sara's back to her usual self-- which means she's either frequenting the saloon or loitering near the saloon, or... you know, going out and being productive by staring at that train like she kind of wants to break the windows. If you're of legal age, she'll approach you with a jaunty salute and an even more chipper: ]
Heeey, need a drinking buddy?
[ And if you're underage, she'll approach you with a jaunty salute and an even more chipper: ]
[ 'Sup, alcohol lady. Higekiri might have had the same idea as her involving sharp weapons. Or maybe he wanted to get flowers for Yuna, or eggs for Sei. Whatever, he's watching from a safe distance before calling out to her. ]
Hey! Are you practicing?
[ Higekiri always has his tachi by his side, so he might be waving it. Sheathed of course... but Higekiri don't hit someone. ]
Well, it's not for breaking something. This sword is a part of me, I wouldn't do that to it. But I'd assume you shouldn't mess around or do things that the sheriff frowns upon during investigations.
[ Like ruining the tense atmosphere of an investigation, buddy ]
I'm a tsukumogami. The sword is actually me, or my old self to be more accurate.
[ He clears his throat and shifts the tone of his voice to sound less like him, and more like some stuffy official. ]
"Rather than expend human lives to fight this supernatural enemy, let's use old swords! They all turned into spirits thanks to us keeping them around for so long, and they don't even need as much training. Just summon those spirits into this world as people to fight for us."
I actually don't know who thought of this... but it works well enough?
[That's a big sword, but she seems to have no problems with it. Tarvek observes from a distance, taking mental note of her skill, and approaches with a friendly smile]

I'd feel a little bad if I let myself get rusty... and I guess if I accidentally broke something in the town.
[ Maybe. ]

[ Swordpeople in the wild west... Anyway, with th coast clear, he approaches Sara cheerfully. ]
Please don't be reckless. Your name could end up most wanted if you destroy property... Haha.
[ Shuffles feet. Thefts are to be handled by the townspeople, not the sheriff... so Why. ]

Is that why you're up there?

How long have you been a swordswoman?
no subject
[ She started early. ]
no subject
[That huge sword?! Now that'd be impressive. Tarvek is genuinely surprised]
How could you lift a sword bigger than you when you were a child?
no subject
[ Once she was normal!! ]
no subject
That makes sense. It's striking that you're able to swing a sword this large, I had never seen anyone handle such a large weapon.
no subject
... Well, maybe not this sword.
no subject
[...of the very advanced type, like lasers and similar, and even then he rarely uses them]
Even if I could, I suppose swords can't be as easy as grabbing and swinging them around, there must be a lot of technique to that.
[He guess]

seems... safer.]
Trying to keep sharp? [it'd probably be better with a spar, but alas. noct is weapon-free right now.]
no subject
I'm a little short on monsters to beat up, so this'll have to do for now.
no subject
[out of his many, many, many weapons types. it means he doesn't have much of a means of sparring, even if he feels like he needs to keep sharp, too.]
