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.
[ Xion nods slowly, her mouth pulling to one side. ]
I'm really worried about the two of them. I can't shake the feeling like something really bad's going to happen. We all have posters, but those two girls don't, and ... what did we do to make us the "Most Wanted"? Were they Most Wanted sometime, too...?
She said she didn't remember doing anything bad, but the rest of us don't remember getting on the train. So maybe something happened, but their memory of it is gone.
[ not that she has any real way to prove this theory, which is the problem with amnesia plots. ]
Yeah... I thought so too. I just ... what if he hurts them? [ "He" being the Sheriff, of course. Xion's mouth twists. ] I just hate not being able to do anything.
They might just kill us. [ ... rather plainly. ] Although, I bet that Sheriff wouldn't want that. That wouldn't match up with the game he wants us to play, right? Still... it'd probably be bad. [ A gusty sigh escapes her. ]
It's really depressing to think about, but I can't stop myself. I keep thinking there has to be a way.
[ Visibly startled by the physical contact. Xion raises her hands as if she might do something, and then just ... lets them drop. ]
... he didn't seem that bad to me ... [ said softly. More clearly: ] I still agree, though. We have to put a stop to this! ... what's your name? I'm Xion.
[ Xion tilts her head, looking sort of uncertain. ]
It doesn't seem like he feels ... malice, or anything? Or like he's enjoying what's happening. To him, it's just like ... a job, or orders. Isn't he kind of trapped, just like the rest of us?
Well... like, what if he doesn't do his job, and just gets replaced? I know he's a robot, but ... that'd be like dying for him, right? So he has to do his job or get eliminated. And why would he sacrifice himself for us? He doesn't know us.
... it is sad. It's horrible. [ Her expression is a little sad. ] But ... I feel sorry for him. What we're going through is horrible, too, but ... I guess all I'm saying is, I don't think he's bad.

[ Xion sighs, the sound more like a hum. ]
Did you think... they were bad people? They didn't seem bad to me. I wonder if they really did something worth getting put in jail for.
no subject
[ very confused and nervous. ]
But I don't know either of them very well.
no subject
Yeah... I thought so too. I just ... what if he hurts them? [ "He" being the Sheriff, of course. Xion's mouth twists. ] I just hate not being able to do anything.

[ she frowns after saying it. ]
What would happen if we got caught though... I don't want the others getting in trouble.
no subject
[ All their lives are already at stake. They couldn't fail, and ... Xion still hasn't figured out a way to escape. ]
... where would we go?
no subject
[ she deflates at that admittance. staging a breakout won't do much good if they have nowhere to go after. ]
If we got caught do you think they'd just throw us in jail or something else?

[ papika reaches over and places her hands on xion's shoulders. she looks determined, at least. ]
He's a bad man and we can't let bad men do what they want!

Why don't you think he's bad?

What if ... you don't have a choice?
no subject
[ she plops down onto the ground, crossing her legs under her. ]
What are the choices then?

Mmm, no matter what we still have to get past him though!
no subject
Yeah... that's true. But how can we? And ... what would we do once we did?
no subject
I don't know! It's hard to do something when we don't know anything! But um... since we don't know anything, we need to do something? This stinks.
