robowest | [ WEEK FOUR ]

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

[Yuna doesn't go to the saloon much, because she's a good child who does not need any alcohol and also remember week one, remember what this place looked like then, Yuna does, that sucked, but SHE'S HERE NOW probably just to fuss around in the kitchen, but Lust catches her attention on the way. Immediately, Yuna's smiling, bright and friendly.]

The way I see it, you have to make your own fun around here! There's a lot of stuff to do if you look for it and try it out. [She hefts herself up onto a stool next to her.] What kind of stuff do you like to do?

...I've no idea. I've never had time of my own before.

[Not like this. Time between missions had been taken with keeping up on the latest alchemical discoveries and trends, among other areas of knowledge. Not idleness, or time to pursue any of her own interests. She only has the vaguest idea of what those even are.]

I've been reading until I think my eyes will bleed. [A pause.] What do you like to do?

I like picking and pressing flowers, and helping take care of all the animals here, and I like martial arts practice, and I like to do arts and crafts and to take care of the Hero Club!

[She beams, curling her hands into determined fists.]

Since you've got a lot of time of your own now, you can figure out what stuff you like to do! Reading is a good one, but I bet there's even more stuff you'd enjoy doing, too!

...You certainly keep yourself busy, don't you? What ever sort of 'arts and crafts' are available for construction here?

[Granted, Lust has only the vaguest sense of what 'arts and crafts' are. Isn't it something children do in schools?]

[It's definitely the kind of thing children do in schools, Yuna Yuki is a child......]

There's not a lot, but you can improvise if you really try! I made the Hero Club's request box with a cereal box. [She says this as though it's some grand secret, like it doesn't have the same dimensions as a cereal box and you wouldn't know just by holding it??] I have just enough materials to make bookmarks, and I finished decorating a sketchbook with some of the flowers I was done pressing the other day. It isn't much, but there's still stuff to do if you really look for it!

Those sound...nice. I like flowers.

[At least she thinks she does. She remembers flowers. Red ones, in the desert. A different desert than this, one she barely remembers anyway.]

I suppose I've never had an occasion to look for things to do before. Rather silly thing, not to know how to do.

Do you have a favorite flower?

[Flowers are Yuna's favorite thing—and leave it to her, of course, to find the silver lining in what Lust says.]

It's okay! That just means you get to do it now! Flower pressing is really easy, for example, so I could show you how.

Red ones. I like red ones.

[The girl has a point. If nothing else, she has time on her hands. And she has to admit, distractions are a welcome pleasantry.]

Why not? If it isn't an imposition, of course.

[Yuna nods and stands up from the bar stool. Red flowers! She takes a mental note and saves that fact for later.]

Of course it isn't! There's some stuff we have to get from the store first, and then we can go pick a flower to start with, so will you come with me?

Of course. You're the instructor today, aren't you? I'll follow your lead.

[It's probably a ridiculous thing to be entertaining, given the circumstances. But...well, why not? That attitude has served her alright, recently. And Yuna's a sweet girl, it's kind of her to take this time to bother and even take some sort of an interest.]

That's at least one thing I have experience in.

Don't worry, it's really easy! It's even easier if you're good at following instructions. If you can follow directions and you can find someone who will teach you, you can learn to do almost anything. [She laughs, a little sheepish, and scratches the back of her head.] Sometimes I do stuff without thinking about it, so I'm not very good with directions...

[But she's skipping along as they get to the general store, immediately prancing over to the shelves, knowing what she's looking for.]

I'm going to get some paper! Will you find me the biggest, heaviest book you can carry?

Ah, then I have an advantage. My entire existence has been following instructions.

[It's a poor joke, but Lust's trying. This is all new to her, socializing like a human being. But it's...nice. Perhaps it's simply Yuna's bright energy, leaking onto her. Bust Lust nods and goes to find a book. A nice and heavy one. Ah, this one looks like it should work.]

Will this one do? I imagine it could stop up a large door...

[She finds Yuna at the shelves, a thick, leather bound book in her arms.]
