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.

[lifts a hand to her mouth and just. chuckles. mostly to herself, but]
. . . I used to think like that as well. For a long time, I looked at humans and saw them as nothing but infants. Creatures who needed me to take care of them, for they were incapable of making choices that would benefit the whole of their society.
[she shakes her head. humans still need her, of course, but. . . well. she's seen how stubbornly persistent certain do-gooders can be. and she believes in them. wholeheartedly]
I suppose I had one too many do-gooders rub off on me.
[Shinnosuke makes a bit of a face, erasing his usual smirk for a moment, because those words strike uncomfortably close to home. He's all too familiar with the sort of influence that do-gooders can have.
It doesn't last for long, though, before he smiles again.]
How nice for you. Then, you can consider this a test of your current resolve without your little heroic friends around, can't you?
Heh... if you look at it that way, people like you and me are the scariest, aren't we? People who want to live are dangerous in the context of this game.
I believe it depends on what kind of person the survivalists are, too. Some will strike out immediately, to give themselves an advantage. Others may only wish to strike out should it be absolutely necessary.
And even others may attempt to survive without compromising what's in their hearts.

Anyone who's surprised that people would do something like this is horribly naive.

[that's her realism poking through]
But as selfish as humanity can be, I believe that there is always a small spark of good to be found.

I can.
[folds her arms]
Though for what it's worth, I also intend to survive.
no subject
Though really... unfortunately for the both of us, the desire to live isn't quite enough.
no subject
You're definitely right about that.

Well, it's not as if we can do a survey to ask everyone which category they fall under... though it'll be obvious enough who the goody-two-shoes are.
no subject
Goody. . . two shoes?

Good-doer. Hero wannabe. Selfless idiot. Get the picture now?
no subject
Yes, I do. A do-gooder.

They do tend to be fairly easy to pick out in the crowds, yes.
