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?

"Fashion isn't very painful for me," he grins. Being a guy makes fashion an infinitely more comfortable proposal than if he was a woman. He did like the way corsets looked though, but they didn't have to be organ squishing. He watched them and was tempted to follow them, but he turned his attention back to Lee instead.

[vaudevil]

"I can't sport a dress very well. My shoulders are too broad and my arms are much too...meaty." He grinned. Of course, like Blaine, he was tempted to follow them so he ventured a glance toward Blaine.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Those bouncy bustles are making it so terribly hard to ignore." Lee mused.

[strategic_guile]

Snorting at the 'meaty' comment. Yeah, his shoulders were way to masculine to pull off a dress. Blaine's weren't any better. He couldn't pass off cross dressing and didn't usually go for the types who could. The blonde grinned and turned on his heel, setting out in the direction the ladies went it. "You've read my mind, as usual."

[vaudevil]

Lee strode alongside his partner in crime with a grin and a nod. The shorter Lee wasn't outshone and Blaine was just as magnificent as ever. His gift of gab was a great icebreaker even if he had some motive behind the words.

"Ladies as lovely as you shouldn't be left to walk without an escort. My friend and I were just passing through. Perhaps you could aid us in learning about your wonderful town in a little sight-seeing?" Lee said with the same charm he used on so many others.

[strategic_guile]

There was more tittering as they looked between the two men and Blaine lifted his hat from his head and gave them a slight bow. "I have to agree. Lovely women such as yourself brighten the landscape." They'd brighten a bedroom more, but there was plenty of time to get to that part later. Instead he tipped his hat back on his head and gave them a toothy grin.

[vaudevil]

Lee wanted to smack his own forehead with Blaine's remark. Instead he hid it behind a smile and a nod. Seeing women like fixtures was a really bad idea. He didn't correct Blaine for it but instead sweetened the deal just a little more.

"In a place so dry, your presence is easy on the eyes and certainly a nice change. Would you mind if my friend and I accompanied you on this day?" He added with a tip to his hat. "My friends call me Lee." Simply because his given name was a little hard to pronounce at times.

[strategic_guile]

He wasn't calling them lamps, Lee. Blaine continued his friendly smile. "My name is Blaine, and it's nice to meet you both."

[vaudevil]

The two girls giggled and allowed them to be accompanied by such fine gentlemen. "Ah." He cleared his throat and smiled.

In a matter of seconds, two burly men made their approach and Lee suddenly felt that pit in his stomach when he looked to Blaine. "Are you getting that funny feeling that this isn't going to end well?"

[strategic_guile]

Blaine hardly looked perturbed, his attention mostly on the women still. "Hmm? End well for who? Them? Probably not," he said with a laugh. He did get a little distance between them so they could move freely. You know, just in case.

[vaudevil]

Lee laughed at the sight and the two men didn't seem that big of a threat. His grin certainly depicted that he didn't seem the least bit upset or worried either. "They'll be easy to take down." Lee snapped his fingers with a purr to his tone.

"Just once, though, I would like to be able to go somewhere that I don't have to fight." Not that it would matter much.

[strategic_guile]

"Oh, who knows. Maybe they're scrappy," he said with a laugh. The women could see it though, the men swaggering up, and they put a bit of space between them as well, but they weren't running. Not yet at least. "I dunno, I have a place you're welcome to go that's filled with nothing but love." He waggled his eyebrows at Lee before he eyed the men who were just now coming into striking distance.

[vaudevil]

Lee's expression changed from slightly aghast to playfully aware that he was going to fight. "Let me handle this."

It was one of the few things he said before the bigger one came through with a punch that forced Lee into a low stance that caused the man to miss his punch before Lee quickly came back up to deliver a blow to the man's jaw that sent him back in a stagger.

One of the girls screamed to stop the fight only made Lee even more determined to end it quickly. Although, what Blaine said didn't go ignored, the problem he faced was a lot more demanding of his attention though he did flash a smirk before he knocked the man out toward Blaine. "Sounds good to me."

[strategic_guile]

Blaine made a sweeping motion as if to say, 'After you' and watched as Lee punched the guy and sent him back. He grinned and then he got his very own opponent to play with. Oh, and he thought Lee was going to handle both of then. Tsk, what was this delegation?

"Excuse me, ladies," he said, giving them a quick apologetic smile as he intercepted his present. He caught him still stumbling and clocked him on the side of the face with a well-placed elbow.
