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.
[ Simon, on the other hand, is not about to let it go. ]
Four false charges! ...Three! Three false charges! Haven't you ever seen a prosecutor in action? They'll throw everything at you just to see if something sticks!
Yes! You get it! Even though I didn't do anything wrong, it doesn't matter, because I saw someone in charge doing something bad, and if they catch me I'm going away forever.
((I appreciate the thought but don't sweat it; actually Courtney hooked me up with some CSS so I don't even see small text anymore. Not even this small text right here!))
...right. I see. [Oh, god, sniffling. Why's Tarvek having so much trouble getting a read on this guy, damn it. He can't decide what's the deal with Simon]
Well it doesn't matter now. Wherever we are I'm pretty sure anyone pursuing you won't find you. If you survive you'll be a free man.
[After a pause he adds. It's a bit of a warning, in case Tarvek is being fooled and Simon really is as much of a killer as the wanted poster says.]

[Tarvek frowns]
Everyone makes their own justice. The people in charge just say a word and anyone can be sent to the cruelest fates you can imagine.
[Unless the accused have a lot of power and ways to fight those who try to imprison them, that is]

[Even if it isn't true -- he hasn't decided if he believes Simon or not -- Tarvek can empathize with the general feeling. Hm...]
Don't you have anyone you could rely on to hide you?

[ Here he pauses to make a show of sniffling. It isn't hard, though, there being a lot of genuine sadness to tap into. ]
That's why I joined the circus. They move around a lot, and I could hide my face with makeup...

Think it twice before making any move.

How could you? You don't even know me!
[ Bursts into sobs. ]

[This is not going well. Tarvek regrets having said that]
no subject
Just leave me aalloooo-ooo-oonne.
[ WARNING, WARNING: He is full-on bawling ]

Okay, okay! I got it! I'll just walk away now and pretend this didn't happen.
[You have successfully managed to make Tarvek quickly walk away. Congratulations, Simon]
