robowest | [ 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

Like a bunch of good voyeurs. It's definitely a possibility.

[He opens his mouth like he's about to say something in the way of Shinnosuke and voyeurs, but he thinks better of it.]

If that camera was showing things around the hotel, what about the rest of the town? It seems even weirder that it's just in this place. [Hm.] What if the footage was fake? You didn't see anybody or anything moving did you?

We did, actually. To name one example, we saw Yuna and Mr. Lecter cleaning up after their party at around [insert whatever time]. You can verify with them.

Oh. [WELL.] Okay, so there goes that idea. Probably means the cameras around the hotel are so hidden we can't even see them. I don't think those two would let something like that go missed.

Yeah.

... Well, Yuna seems a little clumsy, but that other guy seems stiff enough to not miss a detail like that.

Mr. Lecter's one of those guys that's probably way too focused on details to miss something like that. Didn't you see the menu from Xion's party? But my point stands.

I was trying to stay out of that party, actually. But yeah, that's the impression I got from him.

Which we come back to the cameras are really well hidden or--what do you mean you stayed out of the party? [Dude? Be nice to the small child?]

[No.]

I don't do parties. [Or "hanging out with people", period.] Let's get back to the important subject now, please?

That's still an important subject. [But fuck, whatever, fine.] People were looking around town for bugs or cameras when we first got here and we didn't find anything.

[...hm.] A lot of hotels have surveillance cameras don't they? Security purposes and stuff.

If we didn't find anything earlier, our chances of finding something now aren't great... but then again, I wouldn't have thought that this thing would just be plopped on Mr. Sheriff's porch, so who knows?

But yeah, sounds about right.

That's kind of how I feel about it, too. We looked everywhere and found nothing, and now this is totally obvious. If that's not sketchy I don't know what is.

Sounds like we're really keeping it though. Maybe we'll get answers in the morning.

Answers to go along with our newest victim, whoever it may be?

[Shinnosuke? There are children here?]

Maybe. I'm hoping not, but maybe.

[#yolo]

Well, if people want to use this camera to prevent any more murders from happening, we do need to consider how Mr. Sheriff might react to that.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, etc.

What was that thing he said when we were asking about the windows during the trial? About seeing what we're supposed to see or something.

We won't see what we're not meant to see, and anything we do see, we're meant to, and everything happens how it's meant to happen?

[Just. A gesture to the camera.] What if he gave that to us for that reason?

Also a definite possibility, unfortunately. Under that logic—well, pretending that what he said wasn't incredibly vague—we probably wouldn't see anything on that camera that we weren't "supposed" to, right?

I don't know. I'm not sure how literal we can take his word for anything, but at least we know for a fact that the camera can see all of us.

[~~I'm really sorry for this, Jan~~ And for a moment he's quiet.] Have you guys tried rotating through the next and back buttons since you brought it into the hotel?

[STOP ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS PERCY]

Hmm? I tried it out again with Rin in the kitchen since she wanted to check, which involved me pressing the buttons again, if that's what you mean.

[ thanks for trying, percy. ]

[ thanks guys... ]

To did not notice any cameras, no. Not in the kitchen, nor anywhere else.

Good to know.

[not sorry for calling you stiff]

[An apologetic smile.]

Thanks for confirming, Dr. Lecter. [Yeah he doesn't notice he slipped and made this more respectful than he should have, oh well.]
