[ WEEK FIVE ]

[sheriffexe]

WEEK FIVE

CURRENT POPULATION: 25 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.

Monday - clinic

[ Because it seems like even though how bad and/or weird he implied his previous "home" was, it's kind of strangely comfortable to be in such a place...

Nonetheless, Russell can be found in the clinic around Monday morning, looking at all the medicines. It's kind of hard to tell whether he's actively searching for something, or just... Deadpanning for no apparent reason. He's having trouble finding it hard to keep still, constantly fidgeting with his collar of his shirt, or the cuff.

Although, when he hears the door open he does jump from surprise! He looks more anxious than usual, perhaps even a bit more timid. ]

Uhm . . . Do you need something?

Rest of the week / Wildcard / ect

[ Russell is going to avoiding the watering hole sadly... No more fishing for him :( but..! He'll still be around his usual places. You can find Russell probably sitting by his lonesome in the Church, trying to find a quiet space, or perhaps at an empty table at the saloon, or maybe even in the first floor of the hotel.

Feel free to bother him. ]

clinic

[thatsthespirit]

[well, this isn't exactly what Milla expected to find when she came to the clinic to refill her supply of painkillers. she stands at the doorway, both eyebrows raised, one hand resting on the frame]

Dr. Lecter advised I take certain medication to ward off the pain of my injury. I'm almost out.

[inclines her head slightly, almost suspiciously]

Is everything all right?

[guiltlevel]

[ Russell looks around a bit, and then back at Milla, noticing she's not in the most fantastic shape... Ouch. ]

I'm just . . . Feeling kind of sick.

[ That's all he says before moving on, tilting his head a bit. ]

Are you okay..? Can I help?

[thatsthespirit]

[yeah, her bruises are just as dark and deep as they were at the trial. she's got a long road of healing ahead of her, but hey! at least she's learning how to manage the pain?]

Thank you, but I already know what I'm here for.

[Russell is pretty young, so she doesn't really want to say he's being overtly suspicious. but. . . he's being overtly suspicious]

If you're not feeling well, have you thought about going to Dr. Lecter? He may be able to assist you.

[guiltlevel]

[ Good luck Milla...!!! ]

Uhm. . . If you say so... I hope you feel better.

[ Russell looks unsure for a moment, but shakes his head. ]

Can he help..? I've just ... Been feeling sick ever since the trial, and... I've been having nightmares too...

[ not fun dude. ]

[thatsthespirit]

[smiles]

Thank you.

And he is a doctor. I do think he'd be able to assist you if you let him.

[a pause, and she walks into the clinic and heads straight for where the painkillers are kept. she talks as she walks, though]

. . . is there a reason you've been feeling sick since the trial? A reason for the nightmares?

[or was the stress of the town just getting to him?]

clinic

[insincerely]

[Well, he's here to nab bandages for his eyes, since he should stop displaying his burns to everyone, but.

Anyway, at least he can't see how nervous Russell is???]

What are you here for? More medicine?

[He actually doesn't think it's... super shady that Russell's familiar with this kind of thing (and he's glad that they didn't vote him off just for that), but Shinnosuke's also the guy whose early childhood involved research facilities, so eh.]

[guiltlevel]

[ what the fuck

also, yeah, Russell can't help but kind of stare at his burns mostly because he hasn't gotten a good look at them... so... Hey. ]

The Doctor said the more medicine you take the longer you sleep, right?

[ That is Not a Good conversation starter. ]

. . . I'm just trying to find a way to stop my nightmares. [ Glances at the medicine... Hm. Maybe. Maybe!!! ] Why are you here?

[insincerely]

What, are you trying to put yourself in a coma?

[Don't do that, Russell.

Anyhow, he'll be just... feeling around with his walking stick.]

Looking for bandages.

[guiltlevel]

[ RUSSELL WANTS A NAP. ]

I guess that won't help...

[ Bummer-- and now he's just watching Shinnosuke do his thing. Err... He'll get a roll of bandages from the counter, and try to nudge Shinnosukes shoulder with it (albeit, a bit timidly, don't hurt him). ]

Here...

[insincerely]

If you're going to, at least warn someone beforehand so we don't all think someone tried to kill you.

[He's not going to hurt Russell?? He stiffens a little at the touch, before relaxing and feeling around for... wherever Russell's hand is.]

Thanks. You hang out in this place a lot?

[glaring]

Good morning.

[ She's looking... at least somewhat put together, but only because it's late morning. ]

Something for a headache. Normally I... use my own methods, but I can't get that here.

[guiltlevel]

[ Well, she's doing better than other people, that's a start?

Russell just tilts his head. ]

Oh... I'm sorry? What do you mean your "own methods"?

[glaring]

Special tea leaves.

[ It's sort of a lie, but that doesn't matter here. ]

Right now, I'd just like anything that'll do a similar job.

[guiltlevel]

[ ? ? ? Tea leaves ? ? ? ]

Are they really that special..? Maybe you could find a replacement tea in the kitchen...

[ Just an idea! ]

I'm not too sure what can help with headaches, though. [ Glances at the shelves of medicine. ] Maybe if we read some of the bottles we can find out what.

[glaring]

I think something for simple pain should work. Wouldn't a clinic have anything like that?

[ ...she doesn't really know drugs. She's a magus. ]

saloon... duh?????

[alcobrawlic]

... You know, you don't look like the drinking type, but you could probably eat something while you're here.

[ What is this kid doing, honestly... Sara's just been observing him over her beer mug until she finally opted to speak up. ]

a good place

[guiltlevel]

[ Definitely 100% not the drinking type, you're right Sara. Russell just stiffens when she speaks up, and he looks towards her... ]

Oh. . . I mean, I haven't really been feeling hungry lately, so I don't know if I should.

[alcobrawlic]

It's exactly when you don't feel hungry that you should give it a try. You're still growing, aren't you?

[ Kids, man. ]

[guiltlevel]

[ He tilts his head. What kind of logic is that..!! He's never heard anyone say that. ]

Uhm. . . I guess..? Do you think it'll really help..?

[alcobrawlic]

Yeah. The longer you go without eating, the more you convince your body that it's not actually hungry and you lose your appetite without realizing it.

clinic!!!

[cherrypuncher]

Hi, Russell! [wave wave wave!!! She makes an effort to tone down her exuberance, seeing how startled she is, but she's as friendly as ever.] I wanted to get some more bandages and disinfectant and stuff. [She flexes her right arm, which is not doing much better than her left arm but that one has the nastiest wound on it.] I'm healing really well, so I'd better keep it that way! What are you up to?

[guiltlevel]

[ Oh, it's just Yuna... Being her cheerful self! Russell relaxes a bit. ]

. . . Are you okay? [ Even if she says she's healing well, those wounds look nasty. ] I think there are some bandages over there...

[ He looks over to one of the shelves that have a few rolls of bandages. The disinfectant though, he has no idea where that is. He'll probably have to search for it if Yuna doesn't know where it is either. ]

I'm looking at the medicine... I haven't been feeling well lately, that's all.

[cherrypuncher]

I'm fine! Thank you for asking. I wasn't hurt so bad in the first place but I'm much better now. [No she was hurt pretty bad but your sense of danger gets pretty drastically screwed with once you fistfight the sun??? She all but skips over to the indicated shelf, though, as if to prove her wellness. There's a bit of a limp to her step, but she's unreasonably sprightly. She isn't entirely certain where the disinfectant is, and she'd be right to rummaging around in the cabinets for it if she didn't need to fuss over Russell instead.]

What's the matter?

[guiltlevel]

But. . .

[ HE SEES THAT LIMP..! He's kind of worried... Russell will turn his attention to one of the shelves, attempting to find that disinfectant to help out Yuna, instead. ]

Uhm. . . Well, I've been having a lot of nightmares lately... I don't know if there's anything that can help though.
