[ 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.

hydrokinetics: (You fall flat)

While that would probably work are you sure that's a good idea? [He's all for destroying stuff but he also doesn't trust, like, anything here? At all.]

I don't think it's necessarily a bad one.

[her hand gravitates towards her hip, which is unfortunately swordless. she feels a little naked without her weapon, honestly]

There's likely some risk involved with that course of action, though. I'd feel better if I were armed before doing it.
hydrokinetics: (I am a man of many hats)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-01-29 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
What about asking the Sheriff for another weapon? I'm not sure he'd say yes, but what's the harm in asking? [i.e. yes he'd feel better if people were armed, too.] Unless you just shot at a weak point.

[ugh. she makes a face]

I'd prefer to avoid asking him for help whenever possible, honestly. I don't trust him enough to ask him to arm me.
hydrokinetics: (When I am ten feet tall)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-01-30 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Fair point. [Considering the guy's a jerk it's not really something that Percy can blame anybody for.] What do you usually use anyway? [He caught that movement, but he doesn't want to assume yet either.]

A sword.

[instinctively, her hand drifts to her hip]

I feel very exposed without it, honestly. And even more frustrating than that is the fact that I can't use my spirit artes.

[and the fact that she doesn't have access to the power of the Four, but that's an entirely different matter]
hydrokinetics: (life threw the towel in on)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-01-31 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
You and me both. [He doesn't clarify if he means the sword, powers, or what.] It bugs me that the Sheriff can take our stuff when that shouldn't even be possible.

You think it's something you can earn back?

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-01-31 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Earn it back?

[her brow furrows]

I don't know how I'd go about doing that.
hydrokinetics: (your train of thought's been derailed?)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-02-01 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
The Sheriff keeps talking about merit and earning our time here. Who says it just extends to playing the game like he wants us to?

[she thinks about this for a moment]

I wonder what sort of things, outside of this game, would earn us rewards?
hydrokinetics: (life threw the towel in on)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-02-02 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
You think taking part in looking for bodies and stuff counts? I bet his employers love watching us run around trying to find the rest of the pieces.
thatsthespirit: (pic#10763725)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-02-03 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be surprised if it didn't.

[but she considers all of that to be a part of the game]

But I still wonder if there are other things we can do. Perhaps investigating the town has its own rewards, too?
hydrokinetics: (Although I never mastered anything)

[personal profile] hydrokinetics 2017-02-03 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
I don't see why not. It counts as participating instead of hiding in the hotel all day like I'm sure some people would like to do.

[A pause.] I was thinking...did you see that map at the train station? I was thinking about taking it down and keeping it at the hotel with us and marking off stuff we discover about the town. Write down what's behind the boarded up doors when we figure it out, mark how long it takes to get to the farm, stuff like that. Think it's worth it?

Ah!

[Percy has smart ideas]

I think that's wise, and will keep us all from investigating the same area more than once. And it might come in handy during trials, too.
