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.
[He's going to listen for a bit (because he has no idea what a camera is?? He needs a moment) but eventually he does pipe up, arms crossed and brow furrowed.]
It appears as though we agree that it should be kept. However, I should caution as well that whoever retains possession of that... "camera" shall likely be in greater danger.
I can only believe it shall make them a target for any who would see it as a threat, or the Sheriff himself. ...For those who would volunteer, keep that greater danger in mind.
Are you certain? It is a grave responsibility in more ways than one, Young Miss.
[He's kind of worried about these self-sacrificing teens!!]
Not only is there the matter of your own safety, but... you must understand too that possessing this does not guarantee that you shall be able to save anyone.
[He doesn't mean that as harshly as it sounds, but--emotionally, she can't blame herself if she holds onto it and something still happens.
Which he thinks will probably happen with these bleeding heart teens.]
It is admirable--but do not be so quick to sacrifice yourself over such a matter. Regardless, I do believe you and your companion are on the correct track with offering it up to a vote.
If nothing else... our fates are intertwined in this matter.
In this matter, and in all others, all I can say is to take care. After all... the threat we face here today is more real than perhaps any of us believes.
I'd just like to remind you that I'm concerned about the possibility of others trying to steal it from you. You think you could really prevent that too?
Yeah, I know that, but if it were me... I would think I'd be more likely to be able to take it from someone younger than I would be from an adult. I'm not saying it'll stop someone if they're really determined, but.

I don't mind if we vote for someone else to keep it. If I do, though, I can take care of myself. I'm not scared.

I know. [ Quite calmly. ] All we can do ... is try.

I don't plan to sacrifice myself. I just ... want to help.
[ She nods, breathing out. ]
Anyway, that's why I wanted to tell everyone about it. We should all get a say in what happens with this camera. It's too important.

I know. Thanks for looking out for me. I'll try ... to make everyone proud.

I think so. But, someone else could help me with guarding it, too.
no subject
It should probably be an adult. I think someone would be less likely to try something if that's the case.
no subject
Are you sure? It's going to be risky for anyone to hang onto this camera.

I won't let anything happen to me, Natalie. I promise.

[She sighs.]
It's not you I'm worried about.
no subject
Someone else can guard it with me. It'd be two against one then, right?
