[ WEEK FOUR ]

[sheriffexe]

WEEK FOUR

CURRENT POPULATION: 28 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! After all, there's nothing wrong with the town today and you might just want to savor it while it lasts. 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.

[when you're in a murdertown, screaming is concerning?

So unlike Chane, who is totally polite and knocks, Barnham just kind of

Strides over there and flings the door open.

Sup.]

[ceded]

[ so, like. xion is just kind of. clinging. to the horse. because standing unassisted is just So Painful so this is what she has to do if she wants to check out said horse but she also honestly just looks very alarmed and deeply exasperated with this entire situation.

hi barnham. ]

[moraled]

[do you need help with that horse... he's a knight, he knows how to horse.

He's immediately stepping forward, making sure the horse is steady and stable and reaching out to do the same for Xion.]

What...is the meaning of this?

[the hell is going on]

[hydrokinetics]

[Well. It's three children in their pajamas and two dogs and a fucking horse, Barnham, what does it look like?]

Hey, Mr. Barnham. [Yeah he's. Disturbed too.] Would you believe us if we said we woke up like this?

[moraled]

[He just...pinches the bridge of his nose.]

... Sadly, I would.

[...]

What do you intend to do with this horse?

[expelliarmed]

[ Harry is more or less just...Standing there with his hands mid-shrug because why is this happening. ]

If we knew, do you think we'd be in here yelling about it?

[ also he still hates you ]

[ceded]

[ Well. Hey, rescued! Though unfortunately Xion has to kind of lean against Barnham because she can't put any weight on her broken foot at all. ]

I just ... wish I knew how it got here.

[ Faintly. She's troubled, though trying not to show it too much. ]

[moraled]

[hi harry..........he nods in greeting to Harry and doesn't try to press that, instead steadying Xion as much as she needs to be able to stand.]

... Indeed. Perhaps that is something we shall have to take up with the Sheriff. Nothing that happens out of the ordinary here can in the least be good.

[And, to all of them:]

Would you like my assistance with this horse? If nothing else, it should be led outside.

[hydrokinetics]

[Looking at Barnham...looking at Harry...looking at the horse???]

I'll ask him later, probably. [Once they figure out how the fuck to get it out of here.] We don't know how he got into the room to get a horse in here in the first place and that's just disturbing. [A shake of his head though.]

...that'd be awesome, but how are we going to get it out of here and back down the stairs?

[expelliarmed]

[ Once again, a problem that could be easily solved with MAGIC. ]

Any way we could coax it down? I can't imagine it likes being in here. [ a beat. ] ... We're going to have to carry it, aren't we.

[moraled]

[Awkward tbh]

A ramp would be most plausible, should we be able to fashion a makeshift one down the stairs. Perhaps if some wood could be found?

[this is the old west, there must be some planks of wood somewhere, right...]

Let us not resort to carrying a horse just yet.

[ceded]

Wood?

[ Xion frowns consideringly. ]

We could ask the Sheriff... [ the most unpopular suggestion ] Or see if we can use anything that was taken off the clinic.

[hydrokinetics]

You think the Sheriff would actually help when he's the one who put it in here in the first place? [To attack him personally? And remind him his powers are gone? What a dick.] The boards from the clinic might not be a bad idea if we think they'd be steady enough.

[moraled]

If I may--the homestead may have some pieces of wood that would function for our purposes.

[according to squee anyway.]

I shall go fetch some, if you three believe you shall be fine with this horse.

[ceded]

... sorry, [ she murmurs, glancing down at the floor and folding her arms across her chest. It's more of a self-hugging gesture than a defensive one. Then she looks up at Barnham with what isn't quite a smile, but she's trying? ]

I think we'll be okay. We were just surprised.

[hydrokinetics]

"Surprised" is probably an understatement. [A grumble.] I think we'll be okay...you sure you can carry it back by yourself though?

[moraled]

Indeed, it shall be fine.

[he has Abs.

But with that, he'll turn to go fetch some wood. IT'LL PROBABLY TAKE HIM AWHILE so have fun with your horse.]

[expelliarmed]

[ Bye, Barnham... ]

So...what do we do in the meantime? It's probably hungry.

[ So he probably just answered his own question. ]

[hydrokinetics]

[An eyebrow raise.]

I would ask it, but you and I both know why that doesn't work here. [Fucking Sheriff.] I could probably head down to the general store and figure something out if you and Xion want to stay here and wait for Mr. Barnham?

[expelliarmed]

[ He makes a face. ]

How about I go down to the general store while you and Xion wait for Mr. Barnham?

[ceded]

... I guess I'll just stay here.

[ jeez. well, not that she doesn't know why. ]

Do you both want to go? I'll be okay. For a horse, he's pretty nice company.

[ She's smiling a little, back to, you know, horse hugging without a Barnham tree to lean against. ]

[hydrokinetics]

I don't think we both need to go. Maybe I can figure out something...my abilities don't really work here but maybe it can sense I have a reign over them. [Stop.] But if Harry goes please hurry back, dude. We'll keep him company until you and Barnham return. [He's also crossing the room to rescue the bitty because jeeze, come here Xion.]

[expelliarmed]

[ i, bayley, will personally never forgive you for that pun ]

Alright. I'll be quick about it. Be...careful? [ Thanks, Whole Ass, for getting him to the point where he can't even trust a horse not to violently murder his friends when his back is turned.

He heads for the door. POTTER OUT. ]
