Date & Time: Jan 12th to Jan 19th (real time), July 11th to July 18th (historical time), 1884
Location: Black Rock, New Mexico, USA
Characters: All transports
Summary: Fearing UE reprisal, the Initiative corrals all transports and shoos them onto a mission back to the Wild West, to vote Gerald "Moony" Jackson in as Mayor of Black Rock. Transports are encouraged to used all their wiles to encourage townsfolk to vote in favor of him, too. Other than that, they're free to roam as they will for 7 whole days! Good luck finding food and shelter, masses. (See the OOC post for more information.)

The Initiative had been terse and rushed as they gathered the transports into the Transporter room, and anyone unwilling to participate will have been forcibly hurried along. The Initiative employees had seemed distracted and worried, and unwilling to stand around and debate. It was time to move. The teleportation had gone off without a hitch, and a roomful of transports have been treated, quite suddenly, to a broad and sunny blue sky, and especially to the heat of mid July in the American West.

Enjoy your weeklong stay in Black Rock, New Mexico! The town is small and sleepy, with just 3 good saloons and one questionable (but considerably cheaper) one. There are a few inns, but these inns aren't quite prepared to room a sudden influx of over 300 travelers, and some people might have to bunk up or get creative with their sleeping arrangements. If you sleep in an inn at all, of course. There's plenty of unexplored wilderness out there to sleep in instead, isn't there? Just make sure to check your boots for scorpions in the morning.

The only instructions are "vote for Gerald "Moony" Jackson for Mayor, and try to convince others to do the same", and you've been given just enough money to cover a very sparse room and board for 7 days, if you don't spend it in anything else.

So, how do you spend your time?

Edit: Overflow log!

What do you call that card game? [ The girl peers over his shoulder as he shuffles his cards. She's normally too timid to approach anyone, but curiosity gets the better of her. ] I've never seen anything like it in our empire.

[phaseshifts]

[Tyki shifts back from his partner to look at her with an easy grin. What a cutie.]

You've never played Rummy? What a shame...

Would you like to learn?

[peachbaths]

Yes! [ Kougyoku quickly takes a seat opposite him and leans in before she continues, because this is probably a very embarrassing thing to say: ] Unless it is a bad game. I have heard from Ka Koubun that many card games are bad. Is this true?

[ She sounds more interested than concerned. ]

[phaseshifts]

Well! I don't have a notion why anyone would say a thing like that. Unless you're betting more than you have in a hand of poker. Then it might go badly. But a bright young lady wouldn't do a foolish thing like that, eh?

[peachbaths]

[ "bright young lady" ehuehuehue ] Definitely not! Well then, how do we begin? Don't worry, I'm a fast learner. [ kinda sorta not really ]

[phaseshifts]

Let's start with rummy. Let me just finish, eh? [Gosh he was in the middle of a thing here UwU]

[peachbaths]

Oh! Yes, of course. [ Kougyoku hides behind her sleeves and bows her head in apology to Tyki and the man playing against him. She's embarrassed that she didn't notice earlier.

She'll watch quietly in the meantime. ]
