[ 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 robowest.

[Tarvek thinks for a moment]

...I don't know. Food that doesn't need to be warmed up? If it were my world I think a death ray would be a lot of people's first choice.

[Because he imagines that the Sheriff and his people would target people like Tarvek: sparks and/or influential people]

A lot of things can be done with the components of a death ray.

[hydrokinetics]

A death ray. That's a pleasant thought. [A teasing grin.] You think he'd bother giving us the parts even if we asked really nicely?

[dubiousalignment]

He would, if only because it'd be useless for us now. The Sheriff... [Better not to go into extended explanations] ...he removed my skill to create technology.

It'd be worth a try to build something truly useful for us all out of all that, but I can't guarantee it'll work.

[hydrokinetics]

Huh? [Whoa wait a minute.] How can a skill be missing? Isn't that like something you just learn? [Powers he gets. Items he gets. But...skills?] How do you know it's really missing?

[dubiousalignment]

Because I can't even disarm the piano in the saloon. I should be able to build pretty much anything related to technology with ease, but I can't even picture well in my head what I want to do.

[Of course it's more complicated than that, but that seemed like the easier way to explain it]

What makes it even worse is that it's a genetic thing, not something I can simply forget.

[hydrokinetics]

[...weirdly, that makes sense to him and he doesn't think to question it very much other than:]

Why would you disarm a piano? [Not the point.] Dude, you're not the only one missing genetic abilities. Some people have lost their ability to do magic and stuff, too. We still haven't figured out why. You woke up without it, right?
