[ 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.

[ She can't stop crying. Why can't she stop crying? How can this possibly hurt so much? It's like her whole chest is caving in around the space where her two friends are now missing.

Xion flinches at the touch, as if she might move away from it, but after a moment of shivering she just settles instead, continuing to cry into her knees.

It may be just the fact that it's Milla saying her name that gets her to look up, wretched and heartbroken. She tries to speak, but all that comes out are two stuttered gasps before she lapses back into sobs. ]

[when Xion looks up, she'll find that the hesitant expression Milla wore earlier has been replaced with determination. it burns in her eyes, even more fiery now than it has been in the past. she gives the young woman's shoulders a firm squeeze]

We haven't confirmed that they're dead yet, Xion. Remember that.

Until I find their corpses, I choose to believe they're alive. And even if they have been killed. . . we owe it to them to discover the secrets of this town and stop this senseless slaughter for good.

[how is that for a pep talk?]

[ Milla...

For a moment, she thinks that she wishes she could be even half as strong as Milla always seems to be.

With a few more hiccups Xion makes a visible effort at stopping her tears, taking big gulping breaths and swiping at her face. They start to slow quickly, and though she can't quite seem to get herself to stop entirely, she's no longer sobbing. ]


You're right. [ Her voice is wet and shaky, and she hates it. ] I know you're right. We just have ... to keep moving. No matter what.

That's right.

And I believe you're strong enough to do it.

[Milla believes in you Xion!!]

We'll continue our path forward. For Natalie and Seizaburo, and everyone else who has died thus far.
