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?

You'd call it impressive? Honestly, this is nothing. [He pats the side of the well mock affectionately with his free hand. The way he's sparing his right arm is a little more prominent when he moves it.] Don't get me wrong, I could show you impressive, but I figured it'd just make everyone else want one.

[He'll take ego boosts where he can get them, though. In fact, under the circumstances forcing him to camp out here in the first place, he's downright grateful for this one. He smiles at Billy, and even refrains from commenting on the accent.] If you want to borrow it, feel free. There's enough to go around even if they did lie about this whole thing only lasting a week.

[Billy ignores this and takes note of the structure. It's a solid design. He could definitely dig a similar one if they needed to, given time, but..]

It's just really great that you're able to do this so quickly. And thank you. Um...may I?

[He tentatively reaches for the well]
