[ WEEK ONE ]

[sheriffexe]

WEEK ONE

CURRENT POPULATION: 40 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.

sunday evening, railroad station
[For all of Yuna's Aggressive Friendshipping and Furious Positivity, the announcements earlier have left her awfully shaken—how couldn't they? So she's a little withdrawn throughout the day, feeling like she won't be any use as she is now and taking time to gather herself so she will be. As such, it takes her a while to find the wanted posters.

She's immediately right back at her usual level of ridiculous energy when she reads it. Feeding jerky to a Cow.]

Aaahh, w-wait, it wasn't like that...!


monday afternoon and onwards, hotel
[WELL, ALL OF THIS SURE IS TERRIBLE

which is why this town needs a Hero Club. Running around constantly asking people if they need anything is only going to get her so far, especially when there are so many of them. Togo isn't here to manage their email inbox, but that wouldn't stop Fu from making sure everyone had a way to contact the Hero Club if she were here. So Monday afternoon, Yuna leaves a box in the hotel lobby, where it's going to be seen.

It's...okay, well, it's a cereal box, it's the exact dimensions of a cereal box and touching it at all will confirm that, she only has so much material to work with, but Yuna is exceptionally crafty. A lot of love has gone into making it colorful and ostentatious, and her skill shows! She's decorated it with papers and materials from the general store, so you couldn't even tell that it used to house cookie-shaped cereal (of course she picked the cookie-shaped cereal). A flowery border has been drawn along the edge of the front panel, and in cute, round penmanship, it reads:]

Hero Club Request Box!

If you have a task you can't complete on your own, need an extra set of hands to make getting something done easier, want someone to talk to, or need help with anything else, leave a request here or find a Hero Club member!

A Hero Club representative will check requests every day before breakfast and every day after lunch.

[In that same cute handwriting, written on the box's left side is:]

Hero Club Five Tenets

1. Give a good greeting.
2. Try not to give up.
3. Sleep well, eat well.
4. If you're troubled, talk to someone!
5. You're likely to succeed if you try.

[And then on the other side:]

Hero Club Members List

Yuna Yuki

[...oh honey

Naturally, there's a notepad and a pen set next to the box. The Hero Club (Whole Ass* Branch) is open for business!


*or whatever we name this godforsaken place]


Wildcard
[WHATEVER'S CLEVER as always i am at nidorina for plotting, Yuna is as aggressively social as always. True to her word, she'll be checking the Hero Club requests twice a day every day, and will absolutely be following up on requests.]

not here

[insincerely]

[next to Yuna Yuki on the box, someone's written 甘ちゃん in brackets.

i'm sorry]

[cherrypuncher]

[well that's not nice!!! this is supposed to be a Professional request-receiving receptacle, how dare

so the next time Yuna goes to check the box, she puts a little flower sticker over it. the graffiti has an excellent run of its mockery though]

Monday Afternoon

[dubiousalignment]

[...yes, this could be of use. Tarvek stares at the box for a while, mulling something, before taking a pen and writing his name below Yuna's name. This Hero Club thing isn't guaranteed to provide him with information and influence over most people around here, but it could be useful]

There we go. With some luck someone will use this suggestion box.

[cherrypuncher]

[Yuna doesn't notice the addition right away, since she's just sort of left the box there for the public to find, but she's impatient and keeps coming to check it out afterwards anyway... Obviously she's running off to find Tarvek the second she sees what's been done here, though.]

Mister Tarvek! Mister Tarvek! Did you really wanna join the Hero Club?!

Sunday

[alcobrawlic]

... Was the cow that hungry?

[ Of course Sara's going to read the thing that's got Yuna so flustered. Obviously. ]

[cherrypuncher]

Yes—I mean, I mean, no!—I mean, yes, he was that hungry, b-but he's not actually a cow!

[AAAAAAAA]

sunday

[thatsthespirit]

I'd suggest ignoring it. I believe the Sheriff put these up just to annoy us.

[although she might be judging Yuna a bit. just a li'l. that poor cow]

[cherrypuncher]

But it's not true! I swear it's not!

[She slumps over, defeated.]

It worked...

sunday evening aka the real tag

[insincerely]

[Peeeeering at the poster from behind her:]

Ah, encouraging cannibalism? I knew you couldn't be that much of a goody-two-shoes...

[cherrypuncher]

No no no, it's not like that, he wasn't even a real cow...!

[AAAAAA WHY THIS]

sunday!

[impulsiveness]

[Don't mind Jason as he just. Casually peels his own wanted poster off the wall, stuffing it into his pocket like nothing happened.]

Encouraging cow cannibalism? Didn't take you for the morbid type.

[He's... joking. Badly. But joking, mostly to cover up how disconcerted he is over everything the Sheriff discussed. Ha.]

[cherrypuncher]

Nonono, it wasn't like that, he wasn't actually a cow!

[THIS IS!! THE WORST!!!! second to all of the murder and kidnapping anyway BUT AFTER THAT IT'S THE WORST]

monday

[generously]

[ Such an innocent person! Must protect at all cost!! Claire reads the five tenets and commits them to memory, word for word, even though that's practically how he lived his whole life anyway.

He decides to leave a note inside the box. ]

Good greetings Hero!

I have read the Hero Club Five Tenets and was highly moved by the time I got to the end of it. Even though points 2 and 5 are loosely similar, they are still strong words to live by and it is always worth repeating. Point 4 in particular is also very important, maybe you should list that twice, too. I remember the last time I felt troubled, I sought out a friend of mine and she helped sort out my feelings for someone else. Well, we had only met once before that and I had planned on making her regret not paying for a train ticket, but it turns out she was a decent person and we ended up having a nice lunch! None of this would have never happened if I had not lived by point 4. I should visit her once my work is done here.

In any case, we should break those girls out of prison. What do you think?

...

[ And then he waits in front of the box since he left no other contact details. ]

[cherrypuncher]

[Fortunately he isn't kept waiting too long because Yuna, true to her word, comes by to check it after lunch, even though she definitely didn't put the box up even a full hour ago??]

Hi, Mister Walken! [Gonna be polite and make conversation before she starts rummaging around for request slips!!] Hey, did you see the Hero Club box?

[like he isn't...standing right next to it......]

monday

[elemancy]

[and here is noct, staring curiously at all the information posted. it's definitely... cute?

but puzzling.]

Hero... Club?

[he really has no idea what to do with this information, even if the concept sounds nice in theory.]

[cherrypuncher]

Hero Club!

[Once she's set the box down, Yuna puts her hands on her hips, beaming with pride.]

It's a club for people who want to help!

wildcard; tuesday evening

[beyeotic]

[Ana wanders in just after sunset, meandering into the kitchen in hopes of having some tea before bed. She finds that someone already beat her to the kitchen. Someone who she recognizes. Someone she actually has something to talk about with.

Probably best to actually say hello first, though. Ana takes a seat at the table.]

Good evening. Making something?

[cherrypuncher]

Good evening! [Ana is an old lady RESPECTED ELDER so Yuna pauses in the middle of stirring a big ol' pot full of something on the stove so she can bow politely at her in greeting, because Yuna has so many manners.] Uh-huh! I've got dinner cooking for me and Miss Milla and Ao and Miss Tiara—steamed rice and vegetables! Would you like some, too? [as long as she's approaching cooking for an entire army already]

monday!

[guiltlevel]

[ Well, this is certainly hard to ignore, Russell looks at the information... He doesn't really quite get it??? Why is someone trying to make a club. ]

What... Is this?

[ Then he looks at the five tenants... You can definitely see Russell's mood shift immediately - and not in a good way! He looks kind of sad because he literally fails all of these. He can't join this club :( ]

[cherrypuncher]

It's the Hero Club request box! [Yuna puts her hands on her hips and POSES DRAMATICALLY!!! Except she's so committed to her cowboy aesthetic that it looks especially silly in her jeans and flannel and cowboy hat... But he looks kind of sad so Yuna has to absolutely ham on her intro!!!] If you're having any trouble, or you need any help, or you just want some company, the Hero Club is here to help!

monday!!

[ceded]

[ what

is this??

Xion ends up staring at the Hero Club box for a long while, hands drawn to her chest as if she's afraid it might bite her or something. Pluto sits at her side, tail thumping as he looks between her and the box. When he stands up on all fours, he points his nose at the box and BARKS!

Xion almost jumps out of her skin, but that's fine. ]

You think I should sign up?

[ Pluto barks again, his tail wagging so hard that his whole butt wags. Xion looks kind of put out. ]

But... I'm not a hero.

[ Chews her lip looking at the box again. Yuna Yuki... did she start this? ]

I wonder if I could talk to that person, first...

[cherrypuncher]

[SPEAK OF THE DEVIL AND SHE SHALL APPEAR i.e., it hardly takes a full minute for Yuna to drag herself into the hotel lobby, probably just coming back from bringing Ao third helpings of lunch, but she perks right up when she sees Xion by the box (Xion!! with a dog!!!!! by the box!!!!!]

Hi, hiiii! [She skips right on over, leans a hand on the side of the table the box is resting on.] Did you have any questions about the Hero Club?!

monday....

[uraniumnumnum]

[ he actually tries not to spend much time in the hotel because he hates everybody. Today is no exception. He's only here because he noticed something out of place and wanted to add it to his knowledge of the place... and that "something" happens to be a cereal box covered in flowers. Ash picks it up and reads what's written on it extremely quickly (he's a machine, after all), then puts it back down, looking disgusted. ]

Utterly childish.

Thursday

[dubiousalignment]

[How to break the bad news to Yuna? This isn't going to be pleasant]

Ms. Yuki, we need to talk. It's about those two girls in jail.
