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

...Yeah. That sucks.

[She thinks, briefly, of countless afternoons filled with nothing but fingers moving over keys and eyes scanning sheets of music. Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, sonata and sonata.

This time, when she throws the tomato, she squeezes it so hard that there's some juice on her hand afterwards. She wipes it on her trousers as she focuses on something else.]

What's the difference between a charm and a jinx?

Charms are mainly alteration spells. Making things fly, move on their own, start singing...things like that. Jinxes are more a kind of dark magic, usually set on a person. For instance...making a person's legs give out from under them.

[ Beat. ] I don't use those much, but it's important to know what's out there.

But you do use them sometimes?

[It's lightly curious rather than accusatory.]

Sounds like a good way to get back at someone who's being a dick. Too bad you don't have it here.

Well, no one's perfect.

[ So that's a yes. ]

You have no idea how how many times I've thought that. Not just for getting back at people being dicks. If I could apparate, we'd be out of here in no time.

That sounds like a story I want to hear.

[So she can make fun of him for that, too, probably. Please save yourself, Harry.]

So apparating is, like, teleporting?

Well...I might have levitated my best mate in the middle of the night once. Hoisted him right up in the air so he was hanging by his ankle. [ #kanyeshrug ] I didn't actually know what the spell would do.

[ Then he nods as he picks the leaves off a tomato. ]

Essentially, yeah. Popping out of one place and popping in at another. People can go alongside others who can do it, but that's gone just like everything I can do with my wand.

[ bye tomato ]

Ah, didn't know what the spell would do. A likely story, sir.

[She watches as he picks the leaves off, canting her head slightly.]

Sounds pretty useful. How far could you go, or was it not based on distance? Also, what do you have against that tomato?

Not the only time I've used that excuse either.

[ But it's true??? ]

Supposedly it gets harder the farther you go, and there's always the risk of splinching. And it was a sad excuse for a tomato, really.

A regular troublemaker, huh?

[Lightly teasing, as she glances towards the poor leafless tomato.]

Are you insulting my tomato picking skills? Also, what's splinching?
