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

Barely veiled threats are really not the way to make my impression of you change, dude.

[ Shrugs! Wow, so much shrugging! ]

You can continue being as acrimonious as you want, if you'd really prefer.

And you could not imply that I might need to be worried about falling asleep, and yet, here we are.

No, I was saying that you might worry over whether you needed to worry about falling sleep, and I was trying to be reassuring.

Yeah, sure. Why the sudden, out of nowhere concern?

Well, we are roommates.

It could become annoying to room with you if you are going to dislike me.

Right. Well, I won't be a dick to you if you leave me alone. You won't even have to know I dislike you. That sound fair?

Hmm, no, I think we should get along.

That's not going to happen, especially not if you try to force it.

[ Hm, no. This perplexes me. That doesn't sound remotely right. Everyone wants to be friends with Diego Brando ]

Well, you can call it whatever you like.

I'll tell you exactly what I'm calling it. I don't like you, and I don't trust you.

Yes, but that's why we're having this discussion.

[ D U H. things like that can just be decided on in a single meeting shh it's fine ]

This isn't even a discussion, it's you trying to tell me what to do and failing.

I haven't ordered you to do anything, you'd know if I had. I am simply telling you how I think things should be.

[ There is a pause ]

I have something to ask you.

What is it?

Earlier this morning, I was out tending to my horse and exploring the area. As we rode, the ground began to turn, becoming less stable, and I was forced to change direction. I could have come back to town, but instead I chose the homestead.

Why do you think that is?

Because it's a more remote area and you hate other people?

[She knows that isn't it, but. Gotta snark.]

That is an excellent guess, but no.

It is because the ground there was--

[ a pause for drama ]

--homesteady

[ he grins at her, waiting expectantly ]

[Long pause, as a look of betrayal and horror comes across her face. Puns..]

Why? Why.

It was clever, wasn't it? What do you think?

[ Sincerely? A complete shift in topic and attitude. Listen I'm sorry he already decided on friendship ]

I think that I understand nothing about your sudden foray into puns, and I hope it ends quickly for my peace of mind.

[Her one weakness: bad jokes.]

A joke only needs itself as a reason! You're a smart girl, you could make one too.

Yeah, but...

[She makes a face.]

You know what, never mind.

I am a hard act to follow.

[ But he, you know, forgives you ]

I have many questions about the way you choose to be.
