[ 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.

abasing: (why am i in a towel)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I am afraid I do not know... if I did, perhaps it would grant me some form of insight into why I am here to begin with.

But I have been told nothing. Merely that I am here for some purpose, and must remain in this cell.

[her gaze narrows]

The Sheriff must not have given you the same speech he gave everyone else. But since you're in a jail cell, I wonder if you're expected to participate the same way we are?
abasing: (shut your face)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
... I do not know. I am afraid it is a true mystery to me.

[This sucks.]

But even if he does...expect something such as that, we cannot truly...participate. That would be abhorrent.
thatsthespirit: (pic#10763681)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-01-15 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course it would be.

[although, based on some people's reactions to the murder announcement, she doesn't doubt that some people will be more than willing to play along]

But it seems this town is run by abhorrent people, so that isn't surprising.
abasing: (fuck off right the hell now)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
... You are correct, of course. When I get out of here...that sheriff had best make certain I do not see his face! I will pull his mustache from its roots and force him to eat it!

[Calm down, Tiara.]

[MILLA LIKES THIS SPUNK]

The Sheriff described himself as a "robot." Harming him will likely not give us any sense of satisfaction. However. . .

[she places a hand on her hip and stands up straight]

I don't intend to let his "employers" get away with this farce unscathed.
abasing: (too dumb to breathe)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
He is a robot?

[What the fuck.]

That makes this situation all the more confusing...

[ugh!!]

I certainly would be willing to assist you in that, if I am able to get out of here.
thatsthespirit: (pic#10763688)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-01-15 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
A robot built by a certain group of "employers" to oversee this whole farce, it seems.

[ugh!!]

If I had my spirit artes, I could break you out of this jail cell. But as I am now, I don't possess the strength to do so.
abasing: (gently concerned at all times)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

I see... then you have also lost your abilities. If I had mine, I too... would be able to free myself.
thatsthespirit: (pic#10763705)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-01-15 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Your abilities? Hn. What is it you're capable of doing?
abasing: (why am i in a towel)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes... my fairy companion is missing. I had assumed that because he was gone, I am unable to access my skills...
thatsthespirit: (pic#10763693)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-01-15 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Fairy companion?

[interesting. but her situation is pretty similarly]

My companions are also missing. I imagine they just weren't brought to this town with me, though.
abasing: (no apologies necessary)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed... I suppose it may very well be similar, then.

[Not that that makes her any happier about it.]

I do hope Cui is safe...
thatsthespirit: (pic#10763679)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-01-15 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope they are safe, as well. But perhaps they're much safer wherever they are then they would be if they were here.

[considering, you know. murder]
abasing: (five methods of murdering you)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
... I suppose you are correct. In a moment such as this, it is myself I must worry over...
thatsthespirit: (pic#10763691)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-01-16 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right. For if you focus on protecting yourself, then you'll be able to return to them safely.
abasing: (hey that's not fair)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-16 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I understand. I shall do exactly that, and return to my companions safely in time.

Thank you, miss, for your kind words.
thatsthespirit: (pic#10768014)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-01-16 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome. I hope they have instilled a sense of determination in you.

[she smiles]

I am Milla Maxwell. And you are?
abasing: (five methods of murdering you)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-17 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
My name is Tiara.

I wish I could say it is a pleasure, but... the circumstances are not as such.

Even so... I am grateful for your words, Miss Maxwell.
thatsthespirit: (pic#10763723)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-01-17 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Tiara.

If it's all right, can I ask you to tell me a little bit about yourself? Perhaps it could lend some insight as to why you're currently in jail.
abasing: (gently concerned at all times)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-17 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
I...certainly, I can try. What...is it you would like to know?

[She's not very good at talking about herself, so she's a bit unsure where to start.]
thatsthespirit: (pic#10763705)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-01-17 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
What were you doing immediately before you woke up here? We can start at the beginning.
abasing: (five methods of murdering you)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-17 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[That's fair.]

I was with my companions.

[She tilts her head, quietly.]

We were resting at my family's inn, after a day of travel. We had finished dinner, along with a delightful dessert, and then turned in to sleep.
thatsthespirit: (pic#10763601)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-01-18 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Were you anywhere near a train station when you went to bed?
abasing: (shut your face)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-18 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
No, not at all. The inn is near a park and waterway, but not a train station.

[This is ridic.]

I have no idea how such a kidnapping could take place without my noticing... or my companions, at that...!
