robowest | [ 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

So no red flamboyant shirts for you, then? It'd go good with your hair.

[ you can do it, Noct, she believes in you. ]

Red's not really my color. Too... busy.

[it also tends to call attention to him in a bad way.

you know, even though black is what everyone royal and working closely with lucian royalty wears.]

... Blue? Hell, I'll even give you dark blue.

[ She's trying to help you, really. ]

Could probably do it. Black's just.. what I'm used to. It's a... family thing, I guess.

[to put in the vaguest of terms.]

... A family thing, huh?

Well, I can't really sigh at your fashion choices if it's that.

....Uh, thanks?

[he's not even sure how to reply to that, because he is bad at this kind of things.]

Not like I never wear other colors. That's just what I'm comfortable in. [or else this happens.]

I'm just hoping they've got a few more flattering options for the ladies, honestly. You guys could probably get away with a nice pair of pants and going shirtless, but we're not that lucky.

I think I'll be leaving my shirt on. Just because someone can doesn't mean they should.

[he'll leave the shirtlnessness to gladio.]

... Give me a minute, you sounded just like one of my incredibly uptight students.

[ SHE LOOKS SO NOSTALGIC. ]

[she does, and he's... not really sure what to do with it.

(he's not like machias at all though, dammit.)]

Up...tight? [he's not the uptight one, okay!]

Mm-hm. He's a good kid, it just takes him awhile.

[ there, there, Noct. You just happened to sound like him, she's sure it'll never happen again. ]

If you say so. Wouldn't really call myself uptight, though.

[a little fussy, even he can kind of admit to, but he's pretty easygoing for the most part.]

No, no, you're more like... casual, occasionally fidgety.

But that was still an uptight line.

Still not sure I'd call it uptight.

[mostly because that's just more typical teasing he gets from gladio—probably more exasperating than anything else.]

Tomato, tomartian.

At any rate, I think I'm due for some shopping myself now.

Probably, unless you plan on wearing the same thing for however long we're here.

[and then, casually:]

Don't think you'll make too many friends like that, though.

... [ MOCK-OFFENDED GASP. ]

I'll have you know, I'm going to be perfectly fresh and probably in outfits I'll regret, but-- fresh!!

Just sayin'. If you wore the same thing the whole time... probably wouldn't be too fresh in this heat.

[at least he seems amused by this. he's been there, okay! days of camping! without being able to shower! it's gross.]
