Here is an overflow log for the Black Rock, New Mexico mission! The original log is here, and the OOC information is here. Start new threads or continue old ones, this is just some more room for it to grow into.

Let's be off then. Just don't attempt to steal any horses like Yosuke-senpai, though.

[She pulls a mock-serious face. ... though her face is almost always serious anyway.]

[feel_nevermore]

Raven offers a barely there smirk and a nod in return as she stands up. "Sounds like a plan." Besides she's already done her share of community service, helping out Jericho with his placards. "Let's go."

[feel_nevermore]

"Ah. The one you mentioned when we first met?"

[fe_male]

[ magic just kinda does that sometimes accurately sums up legitimately everything he dislikes about magic. ]

Yeah, sure. I'm sure that's the reason. You should go find a wizard so you know how it works.

[fe_male]

I'm not sure it's possible to find something that doesn't taste like alcohol here. Turpentine, maybe. If anything. I'll see what I can do. [ He'll go to the bar to order, coming back with something normal looking for himself and something that took a fair deal more description for her. ] Try that. Should be.... Kind of fruity. Less burn.

[fe_male]

Like what?

[ He's getting that, he's just still in the 'oooooh shiny/creepy' stage of it right now. ]

[fe_male]

Been here for a while. If you meant Exsilium.

[payback]

Uh... quite a ways in the past! I don't remember exactly when though, sorry.

[payback]

Yeah, that's it.

What have you been up to?

[fe_male]

I'll drink to that. [ Toast. ]

[payback]

[No arguments there. Rin is less inclined to press most other people these days.] Take care.

[fe_male]

[ Pause, after she finishes talking. and then he laughs. ] Yes it does. Or the kind of machine, I guess. I'll just accept 'machines' for both, okay? It's okay, I'm the same way.

[queenoftherock]

Yeah, I meant that. Do we always get thrown into the wild wild west or is this a one-time deal?

[gevurah]

[ Oh. ]

That's fine. [ Why wouldn't she keep track of those? Kate wonders. ] What happened after you guys took the ship?

[payback]

We just sailed it somewhere and then came back. It wasn't too fraught I guess.

[gevurah]

It's strange. [ She finally leans against the railing, looking out at the people passing by. ] Every mission has an objective, which means something had to have happened if it was completed successfully. [ Did something in the timeline change? She thinks hard on this. ]

[payback]

Of course. They're always trying to manipulate the future by changing the past. Sometimes, they mess up... like when you got here, and we were being invaded by monsters.

[gevurah]

But then it stopped.

[ A cursory glance. ]

How did it stop?

[have_hat_will_travel]

"Y-yeah, him. I was going to get working on his patron too..."

[fe_male]

First time I've seen this place pop up on the other side of the transport.

[skennen]

[Her will is stronger.

... He may be spending much of this conversation with his head cocked in one direction or the other.]

I have known many people who possess strong will and horses do not follow any of them around.

[Something brushes against his sleeve and he looks over to find the buckskin gelding now lipping the feathers of his right arm band. Lightly pushing the horse's head away, he turns his attention back to the mysterious willpower horse whisperer.]

I find the term prisoner to be more appropriate... but yes.

[hornedomen]

"I like her."

Ico sat down. The horse continued drinking. He laughed softly and he watched the stream. It was nice to see clean water again. The air was hot and dry, but he liked it more than Exsilium's air. He leaned until his body was over the stream.

"Do you think there're fish here?"

[blossomgale]

...no, I haven't. I'll ask around.

[ Glancing around, she stops some of the nearest locals next to them to ask: ] Excuse me. Have you seen a blond boy with blue eyes wearing a strange cloth cap?

[ Copying that description word for word... ]

[blossomgale]

Jail? [ a quiet gasp ] What did you do?

[ She has trouble believing he did something wrong. YOU'RE A NICE ROOMMATE WHO WOULD NEVER COMMIT A CRIME, RIGHT...? ]

[wilder]

Heh heh...I kinda took a horse.

Turns out it belonged to someone else!
