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?

[It'll be like having Agito around again.]

Age kinda does that to people, yeah!

[INCLUDING YOU, says that handflip in Judal's direction.]

What's it got to do with anything?

She's a hag no matter what age she is, that's what!

[Sorry, normal aging rules don't apply to Magi. A plus side of being loved by the energy of every living thing around you is near-immortality!

But that isn't the reason why he calls her that. He's just a jerk, and she always reacts to it, so it's fun.]

I'm just calling it as I see it. Is that a problem?

[Double the fun now that Kazu's going to react if he's within earshot, too. It's like a two-for-one deal!

His brows furrow in a way that suggests the problem is JUDAL'S FACE.]

With your eyes, maybe! Lay off her already, she tried.

[Yes, more negative attention! It's a wonderful time to be Judal.

He rolls his eyes and snorts.]

That kind of effort isn't good enough! She should be getting people to hang on her every word! She's had enough training for at least that much.

[KAZU DO YOU EVEN KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT WHAT SHE CAN DO BECAUSE SHUT UP. It's tough love!!]

[ONLY BARELY BUT THAT'S NO EXCUSE TO STAND BY WHEN SOME JERK'S INSULTING HER!!

He glances at Kougyoku, concerned about how she's taking this when she's already embarrassed to start.]

She'll get 'em next time! They were listening, that was just a fluke.

[...One that's happened each time a handsome stranger's shown up, but anyway.]

[ Continuation here. ]
