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 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.
[ The small smile is reflected as he returns it, but he does look mildly apologetic. ]
If you would choose me, of course. I'll admit that there may be others more qualified for the task. My concern is more for your well-being than the camera itself, I must admit.
It's not like I mind it being you! [ With a faint laugh. ] I guess we can see if anyone else offers. ... thanks, though. [ ... for caring, is what she means, but he can probably get that. ]
[ He seems a bit more at ease by now with the prospect, even if someone else is picked to the the plus one guard for the camera. Having a group is at least somewhat better than having someone striking out alone, but the question she brings up is an important one as well. He folds his hands in front of him, which is actually a more relaxed gesture for Hannibal. ]
A room on the first floor? It seems rude to offer up my own without Ezio's approval, but at least from my perspective, that is a possibility.
I don't want to put Tarvek in danger, either. I'm okay with staying down here. We should pick a room that's easy to defend, but also easy to escape from if we have to. [ thoughtful, thoughtful. ]
[ what is a harpsichorTHIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR THAT. Xion blinks a few times, then nods. She's nervous, but this is starting to look like a plan. Ezio...
Isn't that the man who--?
Well. That means he probably knows how to fight, too.
Not that she has any idea about Will's plans. ]
Okay. I'll let Tarvek know where I'm going, too, so he doesn't worry.

Okay. Then we can guard it together.

[ He pauses, then adds gently to reference an earlier conversation they'd had: ]
As I said before: It's no bother at all.

Where should we be for the night, if we guard it together?

[ At least so long as the order on the page is the physical order. HOPEFULLY. ]
It is a room at the corner. Whether that is a help or a hindrance, I cannot be certain. Perhaps both, depending on which you consider.
no subject
That sounds okay to me. But what about your roommate?
no subject
[ He smiles wryly, then adds: ]
He managed to tolerate the harpsichord for a week. I would be surprised if he minded another guest for the night.
[ but apparently will is going to try and swap??? WILL??? ]
