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.
[ 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.
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.]
[ 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.
[It's fine?!?! She's fine. She's fine!!! And for now she's frowning, taking a seat on the nearest chair she can find.]
Hero Club tenet: if you're troubled, talk to someone. [Her voice is soft, but of course she means that tenet with all her heart.] It isn't easy when there's so much scary stuff going on, is it? You can talk to me if it's bothering you. Maybe we can find out how to help that way.
[ YUNA NO... WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF FIRST!! You'll make Russell feel bad!? His problems don't matter as much as her injuries...
Fine, fine. He'll keep looking for that disinfectant (just so he can continue avoiding eye contact, though). ]
Do you think there's a way..? Sometimes it feels like they're following me too... And laughing at me. I don't know how to get away from them. Do you know how to handle nightmares?
[ OH LOOK. Disinfectant, he grabs the bottle -- he needs something to put the disinfectant on... Cottonballs? Yeah, that'll do too. He'll bring them over to Yuna. ]
[UGHHHH SHE'S FIIIIINNNNEEEE she's fine!! she fought the sun!!! coyotes are nothing!!!!!]
Hero Club tenet: you're likely to succeed if you try. So we're going to try our best to find a way until we do!
[But in the meantime she's taking those cotton balls and the disinfectant and grinning really wide, setting them all in her lap with the bandages for now.]
Thank you, Russell! This is gonna help a lot. For now, though...
[She leans back a little, her smile soft and warm.]
It's hard when everything is so scary, but I think what we should do is try to find a way to help you feel a little more relaxed. I think you'll sleep better if you feel better! Aren't you all by yourself in your room...?
[ Trying to be kind of useful. It keeps his mind off of other things at least.
She might be right though. He's been literally forcing himself to sleep this past week with the needle injections. Hm...
He shakes his head. ]
Mr. Barnham is letting me stay in his room, which kind of helps... Since he's really nice. But the last trial. . . And talking about that stuff, makes me remember I have to go back to all of that again if I make it out of this. I think that's why. . . The nightmares are following me.
[ He's... Troubled? At first, he didn't care whatsoever, but now he just isn't sure if he wants to go through all that even more. ]
Mister Barnham's great, and isn't Constantine just the best? [SHE LOVES!! DOGS!!!!! but okay that takes a backseat to addressing serious problems; Yuna is A Lot but she is also fully capable of prioritizing.]
I'm sorry they made you talk about it. It was really brave of you, though, to do that anyway and try so hard to help! [She's holding her hand at her heart, looking bright.] That's the kind of stuff it takes to be a hero, so I'm even more proud to have you as part of the Hero Club.
[god yuna quit shounening for like a full minute, could you]
But is it must be really bad there, right...? I think you're forgetting something, though. Hero Club tenet: try not to give up. Haven't lots of impossible things happened since we got here, and don't we keep hearing about more? If you don't want to go back when you make it out of this, Russell, I don't think you have to.
He's really nice... I'm not too good with dogs, but. . . It gives nice company. I just hope Mr. Barnham feels better after his other roommate. . . Died.
[ She is super shounen though... If Russell was even an ounce of normal being around someone so positive and bright would make him really smile? Too bad he also sucks at smiling though, so we're not gonna go there in the first place. ]
I suppose . . . You're right... ... But even if I don't have to go back, I wouldn't really know where to go.
[ Would he even figure that out by the time this little "game" ends? Is he even going to survive till the end, that's the real question, too. He just doesn't know... ]
I got a question-- how can you stay so happy despite what happens to you?
[ Like. You got mauled by coyotes?? What the heck? Also, everyone is dying around them, so. ]
[Yuna has something else to say, but Russell asks his question first. She smiles, bright and friendly, setting her hands in her lap.]
Just because bad things happen to me doesn't mean they cancel out the good things. If I remember my best friend Togo's desserts, or teaching Higekiri-san how to press flowers, or how proud I am of our Hero Club here, or Ao and Tiara's smiles, I remember the good feelings those things represent, too, even if I'm sad.
[she's just the human embodiment of the "a few of my favorite things" song except instead of "when the bee stings" it's "when my friends die." the "when the dog bites" line is correct though]
A lot of people depend on me and want me to stay positive. When I think about them and how much faith they have in me and how lucky I am to have such good friends, I feel really strong! So I always have something to be happy about.
It isn't always people here, either. Like I said, my best friend Togo makes the best desserts in the world... [She's got a point to this that isn't just how hopelessly in love with Togo she is really!!!] I think it would be nice if I could share them with you someday. After everything, if you don't know where to go, it could be fun to come visit me in Sanshu!
[Because you bet your butt she's speaking in terms of when Russell makes it out of here, refusing to consider an if.]
Oh??? You know, Russell is a better listener and follower instead of a conversationalist so, he's definitely listening to Yuna ramble with much attention!
It must be nice... To be able to stay that positive though. Sometimes Russell wonders if he could ever be like that, but he still isn't too sure. It sounds nice though, but . . . He still can't help but feel he isn't really meant to be like that. Does it come with practice?
He doesn't know who Togo is but..! This is probably the very first time someone has invited him to do something, genuinely too. So, yes, he looks pretty surprised. ]
I wouldn't offer if I didn't mean it! I love my Hero Club at home, and I think you'd like them, too. I bet they'd be really happy to meet you!
[She's setting her collection of medical supplies onto an adjacent counter as she speaks so that she can stand up again and walk over to Russell, taking his hands in her own.]
You don't have to decide now, and it would be nice even if you only wanted to stay for a little while, but when this is all over, if you don't want to go back, it would be okay if you came with me instead!
