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.
... it's a little harder to be reckless now, isn't it?
[ With wry and self-deprecating humor. Given her thoroughly broken leg and Sei's missing leg... shenanigans are quite a bit harder when it's tough just to walk. ]
I'll try. We'll support each other, okay? [ with a little smile ]
[ That makes Xion huff a laugh, and she ducks her chin. The way she peeks up at Sei again is sort of shy, but mostly very touched. ]
... I feel the same way. I've met ... so many wonderful people I never would have known. You, too. It might sound strange, but ... I'm glad. It might be the only good thing about all of us being here.
[It's good, she thinks, that although things have gotten so disastrously out of hand, they're still able to see the silver linings in things. They've been brought low, but they haven't hit rock bottom just yet.]
And I think that, so long as we keep doing our best, eventually we'll figure a way out of this nightmare. ...I promise not to ever give up, Miss Xion, so will you promise me the same thing?
[ Frankly somewhat unsure what to say in the face of such sincerity, Xion wordlessly reaches out for one of Seizaburo's hands, curling her fingers through her friend's. It feels almost natural to do this, now. ]
I won't. [ Her voice is quiet, but there's no mistaking the iron of her conviction. She truly means it. ] I won't ever give up. So don't worry about that!

Xion will just end up kind of glancing at her sideways, concerned and uncertain, but not any kind of judging. At least, not yet. ]
... be careful this week, okay?

I won't do anything reckless.
[Famous last words!! But she means it.]
...you be careful too. I don't want to see anything happen to you, Miss Xion.

I'm sure if we tried hard enough, we could find a way.
[But "ways to be reckless" is probably not the kind of thing they want to be trying hard for.]
...Yeah, exactly. Thank you. [Her smile becomes less wry and more gentle.] Even though all of this is a mess, I'm grateful we were able to meet.
