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.
[ I MEAN SHE'S OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE SIMMERING THE ENTIRE DAY, SO APPROACH AT YOUR OWN RISK although percy is probably there all day too after he figures out where she is, and he always grants annabeth like .01% chill. so it might be safe. maybe. percy will probably be there tho because he's a nerd. but like i guess if you want to talk to her you can???? she can't stop you???????? ]
It's pretty decent for star-gazing. But that's pretty much the only rebellious thing I've done. So I get the feeling delinquency isn't a requirement for...this.
The Sheriff did say that Jason was "chosen" at the trial last week, but I didn't hear him give any further details. I suppose you were "chosen" as well?
[Just like last week for Jason, Percy's gone and made a makeshift sun tent for her so she's not, like, roasting. Granted he's pretty pissed and it's easy to tell with the way his jaw's clenched tight and he remains silent. Eventually though he sits in the dirt with Mrs. O'Leary snoring lightly next to him, head on his knee and Percy's own head leaning back against the stock Annabeth's locked in.]
You're staying in our room for the rest of this game. [That's not even a statement, it's pretty much an order. He'll ask Harry later, it's fine.]
[ by now she has Insisted he take her dagger and keep an eye on it, even if he's like. sitting with her the entire time. look, the person not in the stocks should have the weapon, it makes the most sense, she can get it back tomorrow morning or whenever the hell this ends. ]
That wouldn't have done much more than get you locked up as well, but I won't actually argue the point. I didn't like rooming apart anyway. [ she's irritated, but sticking together is logical and her pride isn't going to keep her from agreeing to something she wants. right now, anyway. ]
[He has it, but he's Not Thrilled. He's turning his head to get a better look at her, but only because yeah he didn't like it either.]
I don't know about that. Jason says when he was moved he didn't wake up and neither did his roommate, but I could have done something. Or I could have told him to take me instead, I don't know. [Percy, shut up.] I'll talk to Harry later but he'll be fine with it.
[And if he's not, he'll make him be fine, clearly.] In the meantime...I'm staying.
Right, because I would have let you take my place. Get your own random arbitrary punishment, this one happens to be mine?
[ fuck off she called DIBS somehow even though she doesn't want dibs. but the point stands. ]
It's not like I'll turn down company for the rest of the day. I'd be a little bored otherwise.
[ also, mad. c: there's a slight emphasis on for the rest of the day. there's absolutely no way she wants to risk percy's safety, while her own is a negligible concern in comparison. ]
It's cute that you think I would have asked you. [There's a slight smirk. Look they're always going to fight about who's taking what punishment, what the fuck is wrong with them.] We don't even know why you're here so maybe it doesn't even matter which of us it'd be.
[The way he says it though implies strongly that it should be him and he wants it to be him, thank you.] This is probably the worst punishment though since you can't even move. [It'd make him a little claustrophobic in a way, he thinks. A hand comes up and he pushes at the stocks to see if it'll trigger an opening or anything like that.] Sheriff say how long you're out here?
[Pointedly ignoring "the rest of the day" comment c: nbd, let him live.]
[ her eyes narrow but it is. like. a little hard to properly glare at him like this rip. still they will be having Words about what he's doing throughout the day and closer to evening. ]
Let's look at it logically: what do Jason and I actually have in common? If the answer is nothing, then the reasoning behind this is arbitrary choice. Though I didn't think Hal would choose me for this kind of thing. I haven't antagonized him.
Yeah, that's what I thought. [The tone's light, but it's enough that she'll know exactly what he's intending to do. This is only punctuated by the fact he's shifting his position in the dirt to get more comfortable.]
I don't know, you and Jason are also both pretty sarcastic. [Just throwing that out there.] But you've both been asking him questions. You think maybe asking questions that're too close to the truth gets us locked up?
[Also pointedly ignoring the antagonizing thing. Look, the Sheriff's a jerk.] But he's usually pretty nice to you. He didn't say anything else besides that you'd be out here until tomorrow?

Don't worry, I'm kidding. Though why did you climb a roof?

I don't know much about human courtship rituals, but admittedly a building rooftop does seem like a strange place for a date.
