[ 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 [plurk.com profile] robowest.

Mister Tarvek! [Yuna's her usual level of chipper at first, but she can read a mood well; she sobers up pretty quickly.] ...What's the matter?

I was making a few inquiries and checked the problem at hand, and...

[Tarvek tries to think of a way to soften the blow]

By next week they won't be in this town anymore. I don't have all the details, but it seems this is the only week anyone can talk to them before they're gone.

[So far, not too harsh]

I have reasons to believe there's nothing we can do about it.

cherrypuncher: (into the ways we could be friends)

[Yuna doesn't look upset so much as she looks incredibly concerned. There's an intensity to it, though; a determination to do something.]

Where are they going, and what gives you that idea? [A pause, and then, softer:] I don't think they know that.

No, I think they're aware of it.

[Tarvek is disquietingly vague]

Ms. Yuki, please listen and tell me something. Those two...I haven't seen them in person, so tell me:

Are you sure they're human? Couldn't they be highly advanced clanks like the Sheriff?

...You think they're robots?

[what

wh...what

but she pretty quickly sobers up, frowning and looking serious again.

Mister Tarvek, please just be straightforward with me. Why do you think that, and why is it important?

Listen, it's important because... [Tarvek shakes his head] I can't be straightforward with you. I'm not allowed. All I can tell you is that once the weekend ends those two won't be here anymore. They're meant to be here only for this week.

[There's simply no way to prepare her for what'll happen. On one hand, if he is straightforward there's no way she won't try to stop it. Who knows what the Sheriff would do to her if she manages to set them free or anything. On the other hand, if Yuna finds out Tarvek had an inkling of what was going to happen and intentionally hid it from her, well, so much for being a hero. It's the kind of transgression that breaks friendships, especially one that just started.

It's not an easy situation, but he's used to tough situations. It's just that there's something about Yuna that makes it difficult to decide what'd cause less trouble]


I don't know if it means they'll be set free, or if they'll be returned to their worlds, but they won't be here anymore.

[He'll have to lie his ass off, he supposes]
