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?

Pas de quoi. _{( Don't mention it. He smiles, then tosses a bag of coins down on the counter. Where he got such a thing... well, that's a whole other story. But whether it's because of the money or the way Remy looks at him, the inn keeper seems entirely agreeable to finding another room. )}

We may be in war, but that don't mean we have ta live like soldier, no?

I suppose not.

[ she is so grateful, she would knit him a sweater as a thank you gesture. Nobody seemed to listen to her as they did him. Quiet, polite Gwen hadn't complained but now - she thinks perhaps learning up speak up would do her good. ]

Are you staying here too??

_{( Remy looks actually surprised at the suggestion. )}

A man like me in a nice place like this? Non, I've made other arrangements.

_{( Which means he'll be outside. On a roof. )}

Would the coyotes not attack you? You must promise me you have somewhere to say, Remy. Or you could have my room. I am certain they will let me sleep in the kitchens.

The room's for you. _{( His voice doesn't rise, but he means that. He wouldn't have gone to the trouble otherwise. )}

I got myself taken care of. Promise.

[ She nods, accepts his verdict but she does look troubled; she has nothing to offer to him in return. ]

I believe you. But - I will not forget your kindness.

[ and she will find a way to repay it. ]

_{( He smiles at her. )}

Well, thank you for that, m'lady.

_{( And the lady is tacked on there, yes, on purpose and teasing in a good-natured way. )}
