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.
I'd say we should keep it in the hands of someone who won't abuse it. [someone who'd be honest if they caught anything happening on it.] If old Scrap Heap's not looking to take it back.
Though there's really no point in telling Xion alone to be careful, since it's everyone's responsibility now. And if Mr. Sheriff wants to get really technical, I touched it first.
[he's not here to make a big stink out of it, he's just wary of anyone drawing too much of the sheriff's ire right now.]
It's a good idea, as long as we can all come to an agreement. Probably going to have too many risks no matter what we do. There's some hands I definitely wouldn't want to leave it in, though.
Same here. Of course, I'm also concerned that those who seem "trustworthy" are just faking it, and we'll be playing into their hands by giving it to them.
[ Hannibal still seems concerned, and it's clear in his expression. But he doesn't fight her on it. ]
...I worry it could be more than defense, however. If the camera were to capture something incriminating, I would be surprised if the person it captured reacted amenably.
[ He pauses, then adds to clarify: ]
You could very well fall victim to the same situation Tiara did.
So could anyone who watches the camera tonight. It's dangerous no matter what. But at least I know how to fight.
[ Her mouth purses up tight as she thinks. ]
It doesn't have to just be me tonight. What if someone else guarded it with me? We could keep an eye on each other, and if anyone attacked us for it, we'd have strength in numbers.
[ He's not surprised that this is her concern, and it allows him to answer easily, though it might not be the answer she expects. ]
Yes, I can.
[ He doesn't elaborate on that though, if only because explaining the fact that sometimes you just have to wrestle your patients when they're having an episode is something he doesn't think people would understand easily.
Also, because he's a serial killer. But. He's not saying that part. :) ]
[ That ... does visibly surprise her, winning a few blinks. But, well... people seem surprised she can fight, too. She shouldn't judge anyone on appearances.

[ A beat, and: ]
I don't mind taking responsibility for it.
no subject
[frowning!! deeply!!]
Be careful. Seems risky to me.
no subject
[ She shakes her head slowly. ]
I'll be okay. I can take care of myself.
no subject
Just another mystery to add to the pile, I guess. Not like there's many leads short of asking him.
no subject
We could. He must not mind us having it, so maybe he'd be okay with telling us something about it, too.
no subject
Hard to say which way it'll go with that guy.
no subject
[ Since it's ... too late now, anyway. ]
no subject
You hear yourself? [he's that bad. he's probably worse than that bad.]
no subject
He's not.

[probably at any time in the grand old town of whole ass.]
Either way, gotta figure out what comes next. If Scrap Heap's letting us keep it, there's a reason. Probably not a good one.
no subject
[About the Sheriff, that is.]
And figuring out what comes next is why we're here. Thank Xion that we're even having this discussion.

Xion— Be careful with offering. I would say that you would be in considerably more danger if you were to keep it.
[ Which would be true of anyone, sure, but :( he likes you xion ]
no subject
I understand the risks. I can defend myself, I promise.
no subject

That may be the best solution to a problem lacking in one perfect one. A guard may well deter any attackers as well.
[ Still, though. He doesn't like that Xion is the one doing it, so he has to offer: ]
If you are guarding it, then I'd also like to offer to be that person. It would at least allow me to rest easier.
no subject
[ Xion's frowning, this time out of concern. ]
Can... you fight?
no subject
Yes, I can.
[ He doesn't elaborate on that though, if only because explaining the fact that sometimes you just have to wrestle your patients when they're having an episode is something he doesn't think people would understand easily.

Instead she nods, and smiles a little. ]
Okay. Then we can guard it together.
