[ 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.

[ Thanks for that, Percy, Harry will think about being genetically altered when trying to fall asleep tonight. ]

Something tells me that's not going to be any easier than anything else we've tried to figure out. The sheriff mentioned...something about rewards. Think there's a way we could get one like that without having to kill anyone?

[ is that asking TOO MUCH ]

[Have fun with your existential crisis, Harry! Percy certainly does.]

He keeps stressing that it's about effort and merit. If we put effort into something else, like trying to solve the murders and everything? It's probably possible. But I don't know what "rewards" means from him either.

As long as we're entertaining, right? [ Or...something like that. He can't come up with another sick reason why the "employers" would set all this up. ] Rewards could very well be the opposite of that. They'd find some way to twist what we ask for into something we'd never want.

Possibly. I'm think it's more like they're so small that they aren't a big impact in the longrun but they're just enough to leave us hopeful that if we keep playing we can get something bigger. Some people are greedy. You don't think that'd work on someone else?

[They're so chipper today, aren't they.]

Absolutely it would. People will do desperate things if they think it will give them something they want enough.

[ He thinks of Malfoy on the Astronomy Tower, wand pointed at Dumbledore.

Ha. Chipper indeed. ]


I keep hoping no one will die this week, but...what if what we're doing isn't enough?
hydrokinetics: (May we stay lost on our way home)

If it's not enough...? [He considers that for a moment.] We try harder. The important thing is we can't give up just because what we're doing isn't working the way we want it to. I hate that that's our answer.

[ A pause, and then: ] Me, too. But you're right. We just have to keep trying until we have it figured out.

[ Or they get killed, but he at least has the tact not to say as much, even if they're both thinking it. ]
