[ 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.

cherrypuncher: (it's not too late)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-15 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I'll try!

[And Yuna immediately sets to work trying to haul the door open, with predictable results. She prods and pokes and tugs at the lock, which also goes exactly as well as you'd expect.

...She doesn't seem to be giving up, though.
]
abasing: (too dumb to live)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[.... Yuna............

Tiara just watches ineffectually for a moment before she sighs.]


Oh, enough already. You are only going to hurt yourself.
cherrypuncher: (it gives us hope it gives us strength)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-15 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[She continues tugging at the lock for a moment before sighing heavily and hanging her head.]

Sorry... I can try to find something else to open it with!
abasing: (five methods of murdering you)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
While I certainly appreciate the effort... I am not certain you should be continuing to do so.

[...]

You seem somewhat...accident-prone.
cherrypuncher: (one day when we are ready for crying)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-15 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[WOW CALLING HER OUT LIKE THIS]

...It'll be fine! It's worth trying out if it gets you out of here! What's a couple of bruises?

[she doesn't...deny it......]
abasing: (aaaAAAAH)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[YUNA...]

I do not wish for you to harm yourself in your attempts to free me, miss...!
cherrypuncher: (exactly what you are)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-15 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
B-but I want to get you out of there!

[WORSE HAS HAPPENED]
abasing: (no apologies necessary)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I... would also like to be out of here... but I do not believe it will be as easy as that, unfortunately.
cherrypuncher: (oh carried on the breeze)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-15 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuna sighs again, slumping a little.]

Then can I get you anything in the meantime? There's a kitchen and a store with plenty of food, and there's a place with clothes and the store has all sorts of other stuff.
abasing: (why am i in a towel)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... truly? If it would not put you to any trouble, I would appreciate it.

[Things are pretty shitty here in jail!!]

I will not ask for much, but perhaps something to eat...
cherrypuncher: (for sure this pain will surely pass)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-15 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It's no trouble at all! [helping!!! she's perking right up.] What kind of food do you like?
abasing: (tea for days)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... anything is fine...

[......]

Though if you were to have sweets-- or tea...
cherrypuncher: (and when we go we won't go slow)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-15 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I love sweets! I'll make sure I pick the best ones!

[She turns like she's about to start running off, turns back around so abruptly it looks like she might fall down, and adds—]

If I take too long, ask someone else to find Yuna Yuki, okay?

[AND SHE'S OFF!!! and she's too set on her mission to remember to get her name in return, oops...... It takes her a little while to return because she is, in fact, dedicated to finding the best sweets, but she comes back with one plate piled with cookies and candies and some fruit slices with a teacup in the middle, sugar set aside, and a second plate for her to slide through the bars so Tiara can take each thing and have it on her side to munch on at her leisure.]

Tah-dah!
abasing: (the best part of life is chocolate)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-15 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Holy shit you're the best. She brightens right up at that, sparkling.]

Oh my...! Thank you so very much! This is so very much more than I could have ever asked for!

[You'd better bet she's taking it, though.]
cherrypuncher: (we'll put up such a fight)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-15 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it enough? I can get more! And a real lunch if you want, too. Is the tea okay?

[Despite receiving approval, Yuna's so stressed about everything and so worried about these jailbirds that she's shifted her helping gears into maximum overdrive... she's Trying.]
abasing: (why don't you fuck right off)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-16 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
It is just fine, thank you.

[She's very pleased, honestly; Tiara tucks her legs under her more neatly and sips from the cup, equally neatly.]

You have been so incredibly kind... Yuna, was it?
cherrypuncher: (it's not too late)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-16 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[In that case!! Yuna's going to take a seat on the floor on the other side of the bars, instead of just sort of hovering over her as much as her tiny self can.]

Yeah—aaahh, I'm sorry, I got distracted and forgot to ask for your name, too!
abasing: (tea for days)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-16 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...that is quite all right. My name is Tiara. Truly, it is a pleasure, and I am grateful for your care.

[Her actual favorite person: Yuna]
cherrypuncher: (we'll put up such a fight)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-16 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you, Miss Tiara! [She seems awfully fancy so Yuna decides she'd better use a title for her...!!] I just wish we could meet somewhere else... Have they kept you here long?
abasing: (gently concerned at all times)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-16 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's certainly not going to dismiss the title...because in truth, she has a fancypants soul.]

No... I do not believe it has been long. Truthfully, it is difficult to keep track of time in here, but I would have noticed if it had been all too long.

[Which... she's not sure what to think of that, really.]

Miss Ao and I seem to have arrived at the same time.
cherrypuncher: (you'll never find me gone)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-18 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
That's good, at least... Did you wake up in here? [A pause, and then, a little quieter:] Did the Sheriff already tell you about...the festival, and the rules? [and the MURDER]
abasing: (no apologies necessary)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-18 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes... I believe Miss Ao and myself both awoke here

... The Sheriff did not, but I have since heard from others.

[MURDER]

Truly... it does not fill me with hope for our purpose here.
cherrypuncher: (we could be friends)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-18 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry! As long as you're stuck here, I'm going to take care of you two!

[Yuna says this pretty much immediately, touching a hand to her chest, determination sparkling in her eyes.]

I can't get this door open now, but I won't stop trying to find a way to do it, and until then, I'll make sure I check in on you every day! I'll even bring food! I can only cook a few things, but I'm sure they'll be better than prison food, and if I'm visiting, you two won't be alone. So don't worry, Miss Tiara! It's going to be fine!
abasing: (tea for days)

[personal profile] abasing 2017-01-20 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Miss...Yuna...

[Tiara's shocked, it's plain on her face. She stares at Yuna for a long moment--and then, quietly and a little tearfully, she nods.

And smiles.]


...Thank you. I shall put my faith in you for that--I am under your care, Miss Yuna.
