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.
[That's a really great and tricky question, Russell!!!]
I don't know. [He sounds a little unsure, but mostly because he doesn't have a straight answer.] The sheriff sort of implied we're all being watched, so maybe that wouldn't be "entertaining" enough to count. It's like hitting yourself with a dodgeball to sit on the sidelines.
But I hope people aren't considering it anyway. [Mostly since they sure don't know what disqualified even means.]
Oh... [ Russell immediately deflates - he looks down at the book with a frown. Being watched like this, for who knows what reason, and the possibility to die just reminds him back where he was before... The heck!! ]
They could be doing an experiment too... That's one reason why someone would watch a group of people, right..? Are you going to kill people like the sheriff said too?
Yeah, definitely. Maybe testing how we do under stress or something? You hear about that sometimes, but that doesn't explain what kind of results they're looking for with something like this. [The question is also not one he likes hearing.] I mean I don't plan on it. I'm not really interested in listening to what the Sheriff has to say until he starts giving us better answers.
If he just told us, maybe people wouldn't argue as much... And we'd be done with this much faster.
[ Except not really because by the end of the day, there would be killing required... Even though Russell still doesn't really see a problem with it? ]
Hmm... I'm not sure what to do then, but I really want to go back to where I was before. It was kind of better than this.
It'd be less entertaining for whoever's watching. That's probably why we're still in the dark. [Russell be glad Percy doesn't know what oh my god. But at that he can't help but give him a questioning look.]
[ Well, anything is kind of better than wild west murder town...? Russell is quiet for just a moment, thinking if he should say anything or not, but you know; it's not like a lot of things really matter anyway SO..! ]
My aunt put me into this experiment... Or something. I never really cared about the specifics because I never really see the point of it, and I'm going to die anyway. It's still a bit better than this place, though.
[ Just casually waiting for that sweet embrace of death. ]
That. [Ah. Well. He. You. Russell??? The look Percy's giving him is one that's very openly concerned because that's kind of alarming, but you know it's fine, this is fine.] How can you be so sure of that? The death, not that it's better than this.
but... You know. That's a good question, Percy! Hmm, let's see. ]
It's just that... The adults say I should feel bad about the things I've done, but I just don't understand. That's all. Have you ever had adults tell you something repeatedly but you just never understood? Do you eventually get it?
Yeah, man, all the time. Usually means they aren't telling you everything you need to know. You eventually get it, I guess, but you have to find answers yourself. It sucks.
[And sometimes it ends in death but he's not going there either.]

Only kind of better?
