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

Nope.

[She says, as she continues to pull the lid off??]

But someone's going to do it if I don't, and in case it doesn't explode, I would really not like it to be someone who might take whatever's in here for themselves.

[ Okay, fair point. They wouldn't want ten sticks of dynamite to fall into the wrong hands?? ]

In case it doesn't explode. [ God help them. Do you need a hand with that, Natalie? ] We need to get them out of sight before someone sees us, then.

If your plan is to pick up the entire box and take it somewhere, that's going to have to be your job.

[For obvious reasons.]

I'll move it. [ He doesn't hesitate. ] We could also empty it and leave the box, but that's probably just as dangerous.

Yeah, no. Way too suspicious.

[But that brings up another question.]

What do you think we should do with whatever's in the box itself, though?

Bury it? Dunno. If we keep it someone might just try to steal it.

[ Seems like a waste of a potentially useful resource, though. ]

Yeah. I really can't imagine a way to put this to good use... Can you?

[ well they could blow up the sheriff's station

wait what ]

Not anything that's worth the risk.

Right. So, burial it is.

[She glances at the box.]

You got it, or you need a hand? Singular.

[ NATALIE ]

I got it, but thanks. [ He hefts the box into his arms. Better someone carry it who has all their limbs in tact. JUST IN CASE. ]

Where should we take it? It's got to be someone remote enough no one will notice the upturned earth. Oh, and we'll need a shovel. Obviously.

[ shovels have only been used for good things in whole ass ]

[look]

We could always toss it in the lake. That would probably ruin it either way, right?

Your guess is as good as mine. [ They don't study TNT in potions class. ] That's probably just as good, though. Who would swim to the bottom of a lake just to see if there's some dynamite there?

Yeah, fair enough. I really doubt anybody would assume that out of nowhere.

[A nod.]

So. Towards the homestead, then?

[ KNOCK ON WOOD, unless, in fact, that wood is a box of explosives. ]

Right, let's go. [ He starts off towards the hill. ]

Let me know if it gets too heavy or anything.

[Not that... she can do anything about it. Oops.]

[ That earns her A Look. ]

Oh, I'll be sure to. [ Which means he'll complain about it later just because she said that. ] You might want to...make sure we aren't followed, too.

Right. I'll fight off any stalkers with my awesome might.

[stop]

We can probably throw the box at them.

[ He's not serious. Probably. ]

That seems a little bit counterproductive, gotta say. Unless you aim for their head.

I mean, it could explode when it hits the ground. I've got pretty good aim, though.

If you aim right at them they're going to grab it and run away, and I will blame you.

Maybe they'd trip and blow up regardless.

We would be right by them. Not much of a consolation, in my opinion.

Give me some credit. I'd throw it at them before they got that close.

[ Never mind he has no idea what the blast radius of this box is. ]

You think you could throw it that far?

[continues throwing shade nbd]
