robowest | [ WEEK ONE ]

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

general store.

[ while most other people seem to be objecting and panicking about the concept of a killing game, nui is taking it all in stride. it's nothing she isn't used to, so why bother making a stink? she has no doubts that she can stay alive.

so after the meeting adjourns, she saunters over to the general store to do some shopping. a look at her basket might raise an eyebrow - no food items, but lots of sewing supplies. thread, tacks, a sharp pair of scissors, and needles. lots and lots of needles.

she's humming a little song to herself as she shops, like nothing is wrong with the world. ]

tailor.

[ and as a grand couturier will do, nui is quite drawn to the idea of there being a place for her to practice her trade. she clearly can't work on shinra-koketsu here, so she has to pass the time somehow!

it isn't long before she exits the building with enough fabric to clothe a giant, but not before leaving her mark. the request book has its first request, written in curly handwriting: more pink! ♡

if it works, maybe she can eventually get her hands on some real, high-quality fabric. ]

wildcard!

[ pp aspertia for ideas! ]

[ That's seriously a lot of fabric... ]

Are you making sweaters for everyone? In that case, I'd like mine to match someone else's.

Who said I'm making these for you guys?

[ the very idea is laughable! her clothing is only for the best of the best (ie. ragyo). ]

As if you could appreciate a Grand Coturier's work!

[ .......... ]

.......

Who's that?

So you're that uncultured! Wow.

[ it's honestly a tragedy that nobody in this town knows a thing about fashion. ]

It means that my designs are top-quality, exclusive to one name, and one name only.

[Milla comes to the general store for one reason and one reason only: food!! that's the one silver lining to this whole situation, she once again gets to enjoy delicious and delectable meals]

[the one bad thing about the silver lining? she. . . doesn't know how to cook. . .]

[her basket is filled with cans of (minestrone) soup and bread when she runs into Nui, gaze flickering towards the basket filled with needles and scissors and thread]

Ah. Do you enjoy sewing?

[ neither does nui, for the sole reason that she's never had to eat. she'll be all over the sweets in the store when the time comes, but there are more important matters at hand. ]

It's pretty much what I was born to do!

[ she's not joking, but it'll probably sound like she is. ]

[hi5 for the never had to eat until recently bunch]

[and she might be joking, but Milla is taking it. . . literally]

You were born to sew? Interesting. . . how did you come to this realization?

Did your parents leave you a note, or was it instinct?

[ well! that makes things more interesting, then. ]

A little bit of both, I guess! A Grand Couturier's talents are nothing short of instinct, but my mom raised me to take my role. A fashion house needs a designer, after all!

[there's something about the phrase "raised me to take my role" that strikes a chord with Milla. she gets that. . .]

It looks like you've fully embraced your mother's teachings, just judging from your grocery basket.

Sure have! I can't really work on what I want to here, but you can bet your bottom that I'm not gonna slack off!

[ when you can't work on a god-tier robe that will give the wearer superhuman capabilities to take over the world, you have to at least keep your fingers nimble. ]

[ that is a lot of stuff ]

Whoa!

[ Xion will trot over, but not get too close. ]

Hey, do you need help? That's a lot! What are you making?

That would be none of your beeswax, sweetie.

[ said with a giggle and a smile. ]

Not being nosy would help a whole lot!

[ wow

rude

Xion actually looks startled, and then immediately annoyed. ]

Hey, you don't have to be so rude! I was just asking a question. Jeez!

[ #sorrynotsorry ]

And I don't wanna answer! C'mon, are you that sensitive?
