[ 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.

[abasing]

He has... only to inform us that we have some purpose. He has said nothing else thus far, though... I am very concerned.

[She frowns, ducking her head.]

I would not trust that man, for any promises he makes.

[expelliarmed]

[ "Some purpose", huh? He doesn't say so, but she definitely has reason to concerned, given what the rest of them had just learned.

He kneels down near the lock, unscrewing part of the pen to use as a lockpick. ]

Neither would I. [ A pause. ] Did he tell you we're here to murder each other?

[abasing]

... So I have heard.

But truthfully, even if I have been told this, I... it is so difficult for me to believe.

[expelliarmed]

I'm not quite sure I believe it myself. [ Or rather, he hopes he doesn't have to believe the people stuck here are capable of it. ] I'd rather not wait around and see, though.

[abasing]

...Yes, as would I.

[She sighs, softly.]

... All I suppose I am capable of doing right now is hoping for the best.

[expelliarmed]

[ YEAH, ESPECIALLY SINCE SHE'S STUCK IN JAIL, but at least he has the tact to not point that out. ]

The lock won't budge. [ So, that's a bust. ] We either need to find the key, or...find a way through the walls or floor. [ He nods at the floor. ] How solid does it feel beneath you?

[abasing]

It feels...entirely solid, I am afraid. I searched for loose stones, and found none.

[Tiara??? Admittedly, it's not her first jail...break...

Life is hard when you're a constantly kidnapped damsel.]

[expelliarmed]

[ Well, practice makes...perfect... ]

And the walls?

[abasing]

From what I have seen, they will not budge... though I am more than willing to go over them again.

[TIME TO PROD THE WALLS.]

[expelliarmed]

[ He examines the welding on the bars while she does that, in case any of them seem weak and breakable. ]

For such a ramshackle town, this cell is holding up surprisingly well...

[abasing]

... Indeed. I believe they were very careful about this cell--I have yet to find any ways out.

[...]

What are we to do?

[expelliarmed]

[ He pauses a moment. ]

I'll look around and see if I can find any explosives. [ Look, it'd be effective. ] Or the keys, if they're around. Will the sheriff bring you regular meals? I can bring you something to eat if he's not.

[ He'll figure it out. He has to, now. ]

[abasing]

I... am not certain, truthfully, though I do not believe he intends for us to die here in these cells.

[IT'S KIND OF OMINOUS.]

Still... thank you very much for your concern, sir.
