[ WEEK SEVEN ]

[sheriffexe]

WEEK SEVEN

CURRENT POPULATION: 8 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.

WANTED POSTERS

[sheriffexe]

On the pinboard in the railroad station, three posters have been chosen at random to list under the "Most Wanted" sign. Any character that passes the board by today can spot them, faces posted for all to see. This week's Most Wanted are:

MOST WANTED
• Ash
• Milla Maxwell
• Papika

[flippity]

[ she looks like she isn't sure whether to be amused or annoyed at her poster tbh ]

[moraled]

[He manages to muster up some amusement for this.]

A baby, Miss Papika?

[flippity]

I wasn't stealing her! She didn't belong to them.

[ stealing is a very harsh word?? ]

[moraled]

... You took a child?

[HE'S STILL SO BAFFLED.]

[flippity]

No! I took the mom, and the baby was still in her!

[ so a. pregnant... woman... ]

And then I got caught. But after that Mimi had the baby, and I tried taking them both again but it didn't really work out that time...

[moraled]

[... ??????]

Perhaps... I should stop asking... I fear nothing that you are saying makes any sense to me.

[flippity]

[ LOOK

properly explaining would require context that'll take too long to give. so. ]

Just know that I was trying to keep the baby away from the bad guys! Okay?

[moraled]

Well, knowing you, I certainly was not that concerned by it.

Mostly puzzled.

[A beat.]

Admittedly, I am still entirely puzzled but I fear that shall not be changing.

[flippity]

I don't know what to say for it to make sense!

[ she at least fully acknowledges this sad fact???? i'm sorry ]

[moraled]

I must admit I am uncertain about the life you have led thus far.

[Like??? ???]

It appears to be so strange.

[flippity]

Hm... well, most of it was kind of a blur until recently!

[moraled]

Is that so...

[...]

Miss Papika, I have a question for you, if you do not mind me asking it. What, exactly, is it that you do with your life?

[thatsthespirit]

[stares at her poster with a tilted head, before she reaches down to tug at her skirt with a frown on her face]

Is there something wrong with the outfit Ivar chose for me?

[elemancy]

[he can look her outfit over, and just kind of.]

Not... really? [it suits her. that counts for something, right?]

[thatsthespirit]

Ah-- good. This outfit is practical and nonrestrictive; that's why I approved it when my Handmaid first presented it to me.

[lifts a hand to her chin]

But I've been wondering for weeks now why my poster says I've "violated many fashion laws."

[elemancy]

Your... handmaid picked it out for you?

[well, he guesses that probably makes sense, even if he was pretty lucky in that he got to dress according to his own tastes most of the time, despite his title.

either way, he'll look at the poster and ponder it for a moment.]

Probably for the same reason mine said something about using enough hair product to wipe out an entire aisle of hair products.

[because it's stupid. though he supposes that isn't even true anymore.]

[thatsthespirit]

That's right. He has an impeccable sense of taste.

[Ivar's fashion sense is now Milla's fashion sense. what has Ivar done]

[also, now she's taring at Noctis's hair]

Is that how you get it to stay up like that? Hmmm. . .

If I had Sylph with me, I could get him to style it for you, without hair product.

[elemancy]

...Sylph?

[as ever: milla, explain? because he's obviously not thinking that these four spirits she spoke to him about before are like.

going to style her hair, but given his experience with the astrals, maybe that's expected.]

[thatsthespirit]

[LOOK when you have the power of the Four Greatest Spirits on your world besides you at your beck and call, you use them however you can, okay!! sometimes this means using them for personal hair care and hygiene]

Sylph. The Great Spirit of the Wind. I used him to style my hair all of the time; he does quite a good job at it.

[elemancy]

[he laughs a little, despite everything. milla is... so strangely endearing about the oddest of things.]

Kinda seems like something only you could pull off. Having a Great Spirit be your hairstylist.

[thatsthespirit]

Well, yes.

[duh???]

The Great Spirits are reserved for my personal use. I'm the only one who can channel them in my world.

[she makes it sound like they're her butlers and maids or something]

[elemancy]

So... you treat them like your servants or something?

[this is so baffling to him. but then again, she's a spirit lord, right? and noct can only get astrals to help him when they're in the mood for it, like fussy cats.]

[thatsthespirit]

Not really servants, no. They're more like in-laws. Especially with the way they bicker with each other.

[she might be complaining and making a face, but somehow she still manages to sound fond]

[elemancy]

Like... bickering in-laws...

[yeah, he didn't expect that at all.]

I think if I said that about the Astral's, I'd wind up being the dirt on the bottom of Titan's foot.
