[ 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 [plurk.com profile] robowest.

[ Xion spots Mrs. O'Leary first, and starts to smile when she realizes who will be close behind. ]

Hi, Percy. [ Her smile makes her eyes crinkle a little. It's affectionate, if not precisely cheerful. ]

... that's weird. Why do we need an outside jail if we already have an inside one? [ Her mouth pulls to one side. ] That seems like a waste of food.

[ xion why is that the concern ]

[What a precious child, what the fuck. Anyway, he laughs a bit because at least Xion's priorities are right and he shrugs in response.]

It's a waste of food, but some people like to make others go through public humiliation and shaming. [Which is rude, but.] It also means exposing them to stuff like rain or wild animals.

[ That makes Xion remember. ]

The coyotes, [ she says abruptly, frowning sharp. The Sheriff has mentioned them before. Anyone stuck in these... would the coyotes attack them? ]

Think this is what he meant by consequences?
hydrokinetics: (It's getting late and I)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-01-26 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
It's possible. [Which sucks.] Those things are probably pretty hard to get out of. If we're meant to fend for ourselves and have to deal with whatever comes? Sounds like consequences to me.

Sort of makes you wonder if the coyotes are our biggest problem though.

Huh? What... do you mean?

[ Xion's still worrying about how to look after anyone who gets trapped here (which will be relevant in a few days, JASON TODD), but that last statement gets her to look over in some confusion and concern. ]
hydrokinetics: (Until the crowd goes home)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-01-27 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Well...people get locked here. We don't know how long they're stuck outside, it puts them in a way too vulnerable place. [I.e. it's the perfect way to get killed.]

Besides, you heard the Sheriff. His employers are watching us. Maybe they come out at night when we're all in the hotel and that's why nobody's ever seen them.

[ Xion frowns. She happens to know that not everyone has been staying at the hotel, but isn't sure if she should explain that much. ]

Do you think it's worth the risk ... to stay out and watch, one night?
hydrokinetics: (Default)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-01-27 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
...maybe. If we stay just outside of the hotel? The Sheriff said the doors only lock on Thursdays, right? If we pick a night not-Thursday to watch maybe we'll get an idea of what's going on.

[ Xion nods quickly. ]

Yeah! If we're together, we can protect each other, too. I think we should do it!
hydrokinetics: (And to be well quite honest with ya)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-01-27 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
It can't hurt. We should make sure we get people who can fight back if something goes wrong though.
ceded: (surprised » ɪᴛ's ʜᴀʀᴅᴇʀ ᴛᴏ)

[personal profile] ceded 2017-01-27 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I can fight!!

[ quite insistent about that, even. ]

... can you? [ she doesn't know, okay ]
hydrokinetics: (And to be well quite honest with ya)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-01-27 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, maybe a little. [:)] I'm starting to wonder how many people actually can around here.
ceded: (surprised » ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴛʀʏ ᴛᴏ)

[personal profile] ceded 2017-01-27 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I guess there's at least a few of us. I wonder why that is.
hydrokinetics: (And why do we like to hurt so much?)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-01-27 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Could be a coincidence, or it could be that his employers hand-picked us knowing we'd be entertaining to watch as the weeks go on. People who know how to fight most likely aren't going to just lay down and die.
