When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West

Who: Everyone! EVERYONE!
Broadcast: IF YOU WANNA
Action: Everywhere! EVERYWHERE!
When: Mid-September - Mid-October

[How's your ship doing, pardners? Is it still pretty damaged? Is it glitching out hardcore? Well, there is one place to land to take care of all that, and that's on a dusty old moon in front of a planet that no one wants to go to. On this moon, you'll find a civilization that looks a lot like one's stepped into a wild west movie, hardened cowpolk and mutant horses and all. Will you become a vigilante, hunting bounties and stopping gangs from doing their dirty work? Will you go exploring planetside, with a cowboy hat and a stalk of wheat in your mouth to complete the look? Good luck with that; there is no wheat. This town ain't big enough for all you flooters, but make it so! For the ratings!

In other words, it's a planet mingle! Get 'er done!]

[A - the world is a photoshoot]

[A new planet means new places and things to photograph, and Shawn's up for the challenge! Since he doesn't want to land in more trouble than usual, he's taking shots mostly of the towns, the various desert plants, and okay, sometimes even the animals around.

On the off chance that he catches someone in a shot, he stops, slinging his camera around his shoulder and rushing over to that unfortunate person.]
Hey! You up for a quick photoshoot?

[B - the saloons]

[The Golden's gonna need scrap metal for repairs - and Shawn's already got an inkling of what he'll need. Since he's not much of a fighter, he's decided to take on odd jobs at the saloon to earn credits (or barter for what he needs). Come meet the newest bartender, or the newest waiter, or even the local champion at card games! Someone's a bit of a workaholic.

The jobs are peaceful, usually. He's quick on his feet, and a charming server or bartender to the people he meets---

Except for the times when drunk people wander into the bar on his watch. Shawn groans, pulling back a bottle of wine or bourbon or whatever this type of booze is and stares straight into the face of whoever he's serving.]
Alright, buddy - I think you've had enough for the night. Who's your designated driver?

[C - repairing the Golden]

[He's been briefed on the situation, and while he thinks he's way in over his head, he can't afford to show it to anyone. So when he's not working, or trying to figure out why he's on an alien world that looks like the Wild West, he's hunkered in the engine room of the Golden, trying to stare at blueprints and figure out where everything goes.

So far, he's made little progress, but the loud groan every so often signifies that he's still there.]
Ugh, brain! Come on, help me out a little here...!

[D - free space!]

[Have something else in mind for Shawn while they're out and about? Leave a prompt, and we'll get the ball rolling!]

[He snickers] I don't think I'll be going around calling people partner.

And that depends. What would you find interesting?

[Fenris pauses to give Dorian a long, pointed look. He has either missed the sarcasm entierly, or he's chosen not to acknowledge it. ]

This one is supposed to come back alive.
serpentis: (And you ain't no friend of mine)

[personal profile] serpentis 2015-09-20 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
How dreadfully disappointing.

[Dorian shrugs, shifting the staff on his back.]

Very well, I will make every effort to only terrify him a bit.
save_the_souls: (eheheh yeah I sorta...stabbed a guy)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-09-20 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It looks like! Lucky me.

[Yeah he knows Crowley knows he's full of shit, but whatever. He's more curious about what Crowley's doing]

Is it just me or are you stockpiling alcohol?
wolfuncaged: (And it's raging)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-09-20 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you will find some way to ease your disappointment.

[He makes a soft 'heh' sound, before turning back to all the walking. At least he doesn't have to worry about sand in his non existent shoes. There are perks to a footwear free existence. ]

You will restrain yourself from giving him your best glower?
serpentis: (when you could've lied)

[personal profile] serpentis 2015-09-20 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no. I wouldn't dare attempt a glower in the presence of a master.

[And he chuckles softly.]

You keep to your skills, I'll keep to mine- while you glower, I'll pose and look dashing. That should be easy enough for the both of us.
onlyanapple: (Grin)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2015-09-20 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
It is always on your side, I'm envious.

[He taps one of the crates. ]

It's for my bar. Or, you know, the bar that may yet one day be. Ladon vanished so it's a bit slower than I'd like, but hey ho.

[He has to actual work and it's interfering with his allergies. ]
save_the_souls: (sweatdrop)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-09-20 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, Ladon's gone? I was halfway done reading through his network entries too!

[You know, since that's the closest you get to a background check around here]

Do you have anyone else working for you?
wolfuncaged: (Is it worth all that I've gained?)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-09-20 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
And you imagine the bandit will be astounded by your posing? Perhaps he will repent his life of crime and become whatever this world's version of a cleric is?

[At least he sounds amused. ]
serpentis: art by <user name=oceanwrath>, please do not take! (eyes just the same)

[personal profile] serpentis 2015-09-20 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You give me too little credit! I've made many men in my life pray to the Maker...or, rather, shout for him very insistently. It is nearly the same thing.

[And then he laughs, his stupid snicker that's almost an imitation of an evil cackle.]

[Castle froze as he heard Cheese address him. He'd been preparing to go for a horseback ride, just because it was nice to get out of the ship and out for a bit despite this planet being pretty barren.

He turned and smiled sheepishly at his friend.]


Oh, ah, I was... just... ... I have no real excuse, do I?
dancingmd: (smile)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2015-09-20 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Beverly sighs in relief.]

Oh, good!

[Then she looks up at the night sky herself. It reminds her of her first night of survival training, out in the Mojave desert.]

The stars are beautiful out here, aren't they?
onlyanapple: (Tail)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2015-09-20 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. So much for using him to do all the work for me.

[He appreciates the background check even if he won't say it. ]

A couple people want bar jobs, we should be fine. But I'll take all the mug- I mean willing helpers I can get.

It feels weird accepting payment, doesn't it?

[Simon's voice is quiet; he seems a little better than he has been, but there are still dark circles under his eyes, a splash of stubble on his jaw, signs that he's still not taking care of himself like he normally does.]

But sometimes it's better to just say "thank you", I think.
wolfuncaged: (Well lucky me I'm finally all alone)

[personal profile] wolfuncaged 2015-09-20 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fenris pauses again to give Dorian a pointed look. ]

I think you should probably say that comment to yourself again and then decide at which point you should have stopped.
save_the_souls: (food and thought (ponytail))

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-09-20 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry.

[Of course man. He needs to know it won't be someone who'll try to murder his uncle. Or steal all the cash!]

If I hear of anyone who's interested, I'll send them your way.
serpentis: ('Cause you are the ocean)

[personal profile] serpentis 2015-09-20 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[And he does consider it, but he sighs, and his tone turns a bit serious.]

Amatus, I cannot change my sordid past, much as I might wish to. Did I wish to be a shameful secret for past lovers? No. I wish...no, I don't wish we'd met sooner. I believe things happen for a reason, and that I met you precisely when we were both ready.

[He sighs a bit. It was hard to talk about, and much as he knew that he belonged to Fenris, and had no desire to be elsewhere, he couldn't change that had happened to him. He couldn't change the drunken trysts, being kept a barely-held secret, and the scandal that it caused.

Dorian Pavus was a pariah not only because he preferred men, though the rumors and all-too-often blatant truths didn't help matters in the least. If anything, they were like the serration on a blade, making things like his radical politics and his unwillingness to back down all the more dangerous to him.]


But I believe it's better to make light of something like that. Better to laugh than to be screaming on the inside.

[It was a truth of him that if it where possible to laugh, even at his own expense, he would rather that than being left with the horrible reality of what he had faced in his own homeland.]

[Step away from the horse, pilgrim. Cheese doesn't look amused, NOPE.]

Not really, no. I mean, what if they don't want to walk out into the blistering hot desert with some human on their back, telling them exactly where they can and can't go?
onlyanapple: (In whom we trust)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2015-09-20 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
You do that. Especially if they're into heavy lifting.

[He can use his powers for that, but it's the PRINCIPLE of the thing. ]

How're you liking the western theme? Bit better than that shithole outside of the castle, huh?

[He'd never been there, but he heard stories.]

Or that place with the tornadoes.

Very -- [ she confirms for him while shaking dust from her curls. very new. or can she still claim that qualifier when it's been a few weeks? she doesn't yet understand the spectrum upon which newness is graded. but she still feels new, and so she'll stick to that particular gun.

beneath shelter, she begins the idle process of wiping the dust-remnants off her clothing. ]
I find myself billeted on the Starstruck. A far more straightfoward sort of name, if a little dire in its promise.
dancingmd: (Default)

[personal profile] dancingmd 2015-09-20 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I've got enough.

[There's a long pause, and then she relents, if only a little and only because it's not right to keep these people from seeing someone who could help them.]

I'm just covering this small section of town. Only one doctor actually lives here, has an office near the saloon. If you want to help, I'm sure he could point you to some other people no one is seeing yet.
save_the_souls: (Someone's gonna have to change (Lavi))

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2015-09-20 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[...For a moment he considers Clay if the guy complains about not having any exercise equipment one more time- BUT he dismisses that thought. No, definitely keep that guy under Crowley's radar as much as possible]

Yeah, it's not bad. It reminds me of some places back on Earth.

Though I'm worried half the fleet's going to wind up with all their stuff stolen or broken noses. [Since lord, talk about how they all stick out like crazy]
unconfines: (W → well I'm just a boy;)

That sounds very convenient. Dragons where I come from are usually too busy torching the countryside and devouring passersby to focus too much on horticulture.

[Said mildly, like this is a perfectly normal observation to make. In his defense, a ghost dragon made of lightning did try to eat him once, so his bar for "weird and unpleasant and dangerous" is pretty high.]
