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

[ 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]

[ i am glad they are both taking their solemn task so seriously ]

Sure I could. I've got a great arm. Two of them.

Don't forget that one arm is still enough to punch you with.

[fight her harry]

Would you really punch someone carrying a box of explosives?

You did see me trying to pry it open on my own about ten minutes ago, right?

[She's probably joking. Maybe.]

Right. It's a good thing I came along when I did, hm?

[ harry stop ]

Whatever you want to believe. My hero, et cetera, et cetera.

[Dry as a desert.]

[ A snort of laughter before he decides he's probably been enough of a little shit for now. ]

Are you going to tell anyone? That we found these, I mean.

[She thinks that over for a moment before responding.]

Wouldn't that kind of defeat the point of tossing them into the lake?

I suppose that depends on who you'd tell. The camera, the bear trap, and now these. Think there's any connection?
