[ 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.

[insincerely]

[He pauses, examining Eliot as if deep in thought.]

Are you sure? You do look like you want to punch something...

[Maybe he shouldn't be saying that as a guy with "punchable" as one of his identifying features, but ehhhhhh.]

[hitsitoff]

Yeah?

[Shooting him a glare now.]

You wanna take a wild guess what that something might be?

[insincerely]

[Innocent smile!]

Do you really want to be threatening violence so soon after that announcement?

[hitsitoff]

I seriously doubt a punch would kill you.

[...There's a moment where Eliot looks him over a bit. There's the slightest tilt to his head as he thinks.]

...Well. Actually, it... might.

[He's not trying to say you look unimpressive, Shinnosuke, but... No, actually, that's exactly it.]

[insincerely]

[... Rude???? He's... he's.......... yeah.]

... You know, I think I might be offended by that. Excuse me if we can't all be as muscular as you.

[hitsitoff]

Hey, look, not saying you can't still be strong in your way or whatever, I'm just... You don't look like you can take a lot of hits, man.

[insincerely]

[His masculinity is feeling very insulted right now.]

... Why don't you just yell that out to everyone while you're at it? "Easy target, right here."

[hitsitoff]

[One edge of his mouth quirks up slightly, because oh man now that he's not being snarked at, this is way funnier.]

Calm down. What, are you sensitive 'bout this?

[insincerely]

[>:(]

I can't believe the guy denying that he always wants to punch things just said that to me.

[hitsitoff]

Uh-huh. Hey, I'm just calling it as I see it. You're not exactly denying it.

[insincerely]

Well, I thought I'd let you make whatever assumptions you want about me. You know what they say about those, right?

[hitsitoff]

...Yeah, I'm just gonna note you down as sensitive.

And hey, watch out for strong breezes.

[insincerely]

... And you call me a smartass.

[hitsitoff]

Doesn't mean you're not. But you're not the only one who gets to be one.

[insincerely]

As an adult, aren't you supposed to set a good example for a kid like me?

[hitsitoff]

Yeah, 'cause I'm sure that'd help. Bet you'd really change your ways.

Anyway I'd worry about any kid that looks to me for a good example. Now there's a laugh.

[insincerely]

I don't know about that. You'd be a better example than some of the adults I've known.

[He even means that as a compliment... even though he still has the same smug smile on his face.]

[hitsitoff]

...Now that's just sad and worrying.

[insincerely]

[He shrugs, grinning.]

Well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, etc., etc. Just take the compliment—it's the only one I'll ever give you, probably.
