[ 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 robowest.

There's a force that tries to alter the course of history for their own benefit. My job is to eliminate them.

[ now Hige's the one speaking matter-of-factly. ]

Of course, that's still altering history in a way to set things back on track. I guess that's fair to get in trouble for it.

[hydrokinetics]

But if you're fixing everything, how can that be charged as a crime? [That makes zero sense???] If the force didn't change things in the first place you wouldn't have to alter history to set it right.

[sunnashi]

I've been around long enough to know people like making up rules that will be broken because they can.

[ He sighs, then shakes his head. ]

Those who would call us troublemakers also kidnapped my brother and myself, so I have little reason to like them!

[hydrokinetics]

[The echoing look is enough to say "yes I know that feeling quite well and people are bastards."]

I don't believe the sheriff's going to stick to his own rules, so guess we're a little ahead of the game.

[But he raises an eyebrow. Kidnapping is…a personal interest of his. For reasons.] Why did they kidnap you in the first place? Unless you mean here because we still don't have an answer for that either.

[sunnashi]

I never knew the exact reason. Perhaps it's because we are treasures that would benefit their enemy?

[ Shrug. The good guys found them, so that's what counts. Suck it, aggressive time police. ]

I guess being here is also a kidnapping, isn't it.

[hydrokinetics]

And probably for the same reason. We're of some value to them if the Sheriff's right. [...a sigh.] But yeah, this is definitely a kidnapping unless some of us really did sign up to be here.

[sunnashi]

I know I didn't.

[ He shakes his head and sounds more exasperated. ]

Who wants to die like this, for the satisfaction of people we don't even know? I doubt anyone wants to kill for just that reason either.

[hydrokinetics]

The problem is that people really don't want the first thing, so they might try to justify the last thing. [Killing to survive? He doesn't like it, but it's a thought.] The only other choice is for everybody not to kill and then we're stuck here for...ever, I guess.

[sunnashi]

Yes, I'm sure that people would follow that reasoning, and maybe have done it already before this.

[ Higekiri's own answer if he'd do it would be "yes" because he does have the will to survive, but Percy is young! Also kid you've been through a lot if that poster is any indication. ]

...Will you be okay?

[hydrokinetics]

[The question surprises him. It's obvious that it surprises him and for a moment he's not sure what to make of that.]

Yeah, definitely. Why? [There's a small, unsure grin.] I'm not going to let somebody take me out that easily.

[It's easier this way, he thinks. Percy's had the will to survive and the drive to fight for years, moreso since discovering his parentage. He doesn't think much of his own poster at this rate. It is what it is.]
