[ WEEK THREE ]

WEEK THREE

CURRENT POPULATION: 35

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.

Homestead

[ Simon was just about to leave the homestead after checking up on the animals. ]

Having a sleepover?

Something like that. I'm going to try to find out why this place is so well cared for.

[Who knows, maybe some of the secrets of this town will be useful for something]

I've been wondering that myself! I do have a theory... but I kinda hope it's not right.

[ Chuckles nervously rather than actually providing it. ]

Why not? What is your theory, Mr. Keyes?

[It can't be that bad, can it?]

Well... a lot of us like the farm, right? There are a few of us who go and visit the animals, make sure they're okay. So if there were a lot of groups like us that passed through here... they'd be pretty well taken care of, wouldn't they?

[Tarvek doesn't seem particularly bothered by the theory. Instead he tilts his head, considering it]

No, it doesn't fit. I remember when the Sheriff finally explained what was going on he mentioned past groups, but he also said there was a new theme for their town every time this game happened.

Unless many themes had this farm in them, I don't think past victims had anything to do with it.

[Well, now that he thinks about it, it's a theory that can't be ruled out, either]

They might! At first I thought maybe somebody lived under the farm, but I didn't find hidden doors or anything like that. I guess it wouldn't be that easy, huh?

[ Lets out an overly dramatic sigh. ]

...Anyway, want to meet my favorite horse?

You already got attached to the horses here?

[Sure, why not? May as well see the animals he's going to be near with for the night. Show your favorite horse, Simon!]

[personal profile] court_chesster 2017-02-01 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yes? They're really sweet horses.

[ Whistles for a black horse with a light mane that's only too happy to trot over and nuzzle his head. ]

[It looks like a rather nice horse, but Tarvek instinctually tenses up when the horse approaches, as if he expects to be attacked]

[ It fiendishly nibbles on Simon's shirt! ]

Hey there, buddy~
dubiousalignment: (37)

[personal profile] dubiousalignment 2017-02-02 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Right...

[Well it didn't sprout piranha teeth and start maul Simon. It should be safe to touch. Tarvek extends his hand and pats the horse's shirt]

It's so strange to see a completely normal animal.

[ Pulling a carrot out of his pocket to gently redirect its attention. ]

Shouldn't it be normal to see a normal animal?

[personal profile] dubiousalignment 2017-02-02 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Good, you have the situation under control, Simon]

Horses, for example, are more common in farms and in the military, and since my family is -- um, not the type to visit such places, it's not often I had the chance to see any.

All the creatures I knew back at home weren't exactly normal.

['Creatures' being the operative word. Tarvek's father had a lot of biological constructs in the depths of the town's tunnels and sewers]

Oh, I see! Like lions and tigers!

[personal profile] dubiousalignment 2017-02-02 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Something like that.

[Saying that is easier than explaining the truth, at least]

Why do you like animals so much, anyway?
court_chesster: (69)

[ Like it's the most obvious thing in the world: ]

Animals are honest about what they want and repay kindness with kindness. They're not like people at all.
