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?

Ed eyed her as she got up, his expression unmoving. The idea of this person having lived in multiple other worlds before winding up in Exsilium didn't faze him nearly as much as it possibly should have - after all, he had, and it wasn't as if the universe revolved around him.

"Well, if you're looking for her, you're out of luck," he said curtly. "Wherever the hell she went, she didn't warn me about it. Ask someone else."

He lowered his hand and turned away.

"Look who woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Sakura snorted, lips quirking up into a half smile. "I'm not looking for Winry. I was looking for you. Of course, if you're that intent on feeling sorry for yourself, by all means keep it up."

She clapped her hands together. "It's an almost admirable effort."

Actually, he hadn't had much of a bed to wake up on, but that wasn't contributing nearly as much to his current less-than-stellar mood as her reaction was right now. Ed huffed a little and rubbed the side of his neck with his left hand, stubbornly refusing to turn back around and face her properly. "Well, sorry for assuming when it sounded like that's all you wanted to talk about, but what am I supposed to think? I don't know what she might've told you or what version of me you could've run into before - I've never met you in my life. Either get to the point or deal with it."
