When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West

[geonomy]

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. gathering plants;

[ If they want to get that garden going, they're going to have to get some specimens on the ship and in the right soil. Luckily, though there aren't too many plants on this planet ... the ones that have survived are incredibly hardy and easy to take care of, making them great for surviving in the conditions on the spaceship. So, care to join Ino in her quest to find the best cacti and such? ]

B. epic barfight;

[ Now, Ino wouldn't call herself someone who picks a fight for no reason. But if you've been in the bar -- or rather, the saloon -- long enough, you've probably witnessed a very drunk man trying to hit on her for the past few minutes. And you've also probably witnessed her starting to lose her patience with the guy. ]

I'm telling you, I'm not interested.

[ He doesn't seem to get the hint, though, and puts a hand on her shoulder, slurring something about how she ought to change her mind. Whatever he said, she doesn't seem to notice -- instead, she's making a face at the hand on her shoulder.

And suddenly, the man is on the ground, beneath her foot -- and she's looking rather enraged ]

Who said you had permission to touch me, asshole?!

[ Let the beatdown begin!? ]

C. bounty huntin';

[ There's plenty of criminals to be had, and even more money as a reward! She's checking out the board o'bounties for anything she might be able to take care of easily ... anyone want to join her on a bit of an adventure? ]

D. something else?;

[ Leave me a prompt if there's something I've forgotten! ]

[bolder]

[Toph's waiting by the bounty board for someone to tag team with. It's not exactly friendly towards those who are vision impaired, so it looks like splitting the profits is the way for her to do this.

They've only interacted a handful of timed, but she recognizes Ino by now. When she approaches, Toph straightens and holds a hand up in greeting.]

Find a good one, will you? I'm getting bored.

[ino]

[ She glances back at Toph ]

Is that a volunteer for teaming up? Or do you want me to just grab you one?

[timelapsed]

[ This is Max's first time on an alien world which is still so weird to think about. So she tries not to think about it too hard.

But even so, there is no way they're going to visit an alien world (technically moon) and not take pictures. And alien plants in an alien desert seems like a good choice for a photoshoot.

She approaches while Ino's looking over some plants- ]

Hey, um, would you mind if I take some pictures?

[ino]

[ She looks up from the cactus she's poking at. That's ... she was one of the newer people, right. The one who liked photography. ]

Pictures of what? [ She puts a hand behind the plant to show it off better to her ] These?

[Were it any other lady, Allen definitely would have intervened by now. This was ungentlemenly and disgusting. But he knows Ino can handle herself, and might just get annoyed when he steps in for her- so he'd be mostly regulating himself to scolding looks and pointed remarks to give the guy a hint to back down.]

[But when the creep has the nerve to touch her? He stands up and gets ready to help in any beatdown - though Ino already has the guy on the ground. He glares down.]

I believe she's made it clear, sir. I'd move along if I were you.

[ino]

[ He spits at Allen, and Ino leans down to lift him up by the collar. It looks kind of stupid, because she's way shorter than the guy, but whatever, she's too mad to care ]

What the hell do you think you're doing?! What part of back the hell off don't you understand?

[Early one morning, before it gets too hot, Beverly meets Ino at an agreed upon place on the edge of town, tricorder attached to her hip and a very useful-looking plastic container from the lab hanging from a strap over one shoulder. She waves as she walks up.]

Good morning, Ino!

[ino]

Morning, Doctor!

[ She's got a bag on her shoulder herself, and she waves in greeting ]

Ooh, you brought the thing. [ She points to the tricorder. Sorry, she forgot the name of it ... ] That'll be super handy!

[experiencepoints]

[Well. Nightingale was raising her hand to cast, when Ino suddenly had the situation under control, leading her to turn that awkward casting motion into clapping.]

You, uh. Want me to knock him out for you?

[ino]

[ She kicks the guy in the side for good measure, before sitting back down on her stool with a huff ]

It's fine. Let him crawl back to his buddies.

[ Elize is happily tagging along with Ino, searching for plants. She would have never left town on her own. Honestly, she was curious about the desert outside and is glad that she can be with Ino for this.

She eagerly points at a cactus with a single pink desert flower. ]

This one, Ino! This one!

[ There are other cactuses around. It's just... this one has pink. ]

[ino]

[ Ooh, she approves. She's crouching down to gently examine the flower ]

Wow, good find, Elize! It's very pretty -- and eventually it should grow some little berries, too, if what the locals say is true.

A

[innercactus]

I found one!

[ Only instead of just pointing and going like a normal person, Asteffiel runs over and flops face down next to the cactus so he can stare at it at its level.

It's a tiny cactus, but he doesn't seem to mind laying in the sand. ]

It's cute!

A

[ino]

[ She's laughing a little, because what's really cute here is him, honestly ]

Haha, you think so? You wanna keep it?

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley isn't so much as helping as he is lounging around watching her work. But in his mind, this constitutes as help, and that's what really matters, right? ]

I don't know about the plants here. They have idea above their station. Living out here so long has made them rebellious.

A

[ino]

Crowley, you can't boss every plant around. Sometimes you have to let them grow up and do their own thing.

[ She's poking at the sap leaking from this one, making a face before deciding to move on to a different one nearby. No need to grab shitty specimens when there's plenty of others! ]

A;

[takeabow]

[ Nova seems a little nervous. She still doesn't know Ino well but she's been so kind to her, she's willing to let go of some of the weird "did they know each other" stuff ]

Hey. Mind if I tag along? I haven't been off-ship, really.

[ino]

[ Ino brightens a little when she sees her ]

Oh, hey Nova! Sure, you can come with. [ She holds up the map to show her -- don't worry, she's got the directions! ] I'm just gonna go looking for some plants and stuff to bring back to the Iskaulit.

B

[kill_switch]

[Watching quietly from a corner, assessing whether there was a need for her to step in or not. She didn't know Ino that well, yet, and there is a curious desire to see how she responds.]

[Furiosa is not disappointed. She abandons her corner to go over and nod down at the guy on the ground.]

I think he gets the point. [She looks down at him, quirking her brows as if she needs to add an afterthough to Ino's foot.] Right?

B

[delincuente]

[Alex was all ready to sort of consider stepping in when she saw Ino getting hassled by the local scum - after all, Allen and Hiro like her for some reason, and no matter the target Alex isn't going to put up with sexual harassment any day. But then she sees the asshole's face as Ino knocks him down, and her annoyance button gets pressed good and hard. The wand's coming out of the boot, people.]

Oh my god, you're the same douchwad from last night! Go pick your butt in someone else's watering hole, or I swear I will turn you into a toad.

C!

[huaaaaagh]

[Kirito's been trying to distract himself from his somewhat unfortunate appearance, and he's sort of running out of options that don't cause all kinds of discomfort. It's not so bad when girls mistake him for female, but the men are either gross (with their lecherous flirting) or offensive (when they find out he's a guy). He's getting tired of it, and he really wishes he could figure out how to change back already.

As he's walking through town, debating going back to the ship and waiting it out, he notices a familiar figure looking at a bulletin board. He pauses, fidgets, then steps up to lean curiously at it. Bounties...?

Whoa, that's pretty good pay.]

B - i hope this isn't too late!

[noncriminal]

[He'd been kind of waiting for that. Murphy had been in and out of this place plenty, one of the only parts around here that wasn't dusty and boring, but Ino's voice was easily recognizable from the arrival wave she'd sent. He remembers her being a captain. He also remembers how many straight lines were on his own captain's, Natasha's face throughout this attack to present. So he gives the guy laying it on extra thick a good ten minutes to last. He gets less than that.

With a look cast behind his back, Murphy can't help but laugh under his breath at the man on the floor. He looks from Ino's boots to the rest of her, and promptly raises the glass he's been nursing for the better part of an hour (useless - but cheap) above his head with a loud cheer.]

Alright, wooo, fight! [A toast to persistently irritated blondes in charge.] Now kick him in the squishy part.

a!

[thebarkside]

[ uh, yes, only totally. jade seems to be enjoying the warmth of the planet, actually, though it's a little drier than the island heat she'd grown up with. so - she's tagging along, even if she's visibly cautious, a little more reserved than she'd been before. canon updates are a bitch, man, and she still doesn't know ino that well. ]

I think this might be the first time I've seen actual cactus.

D! living on the edge here

[Towards the tail end of their stay on this moon, Stefan's starting to wish they could move on. He's stocked up on as many desert plants as he could; he bought some materials for the interfaith center; and he even fed on a zebra-horse.

It took him a couple of days to nurse the poor thing back to health, and the little guy's a bit skittish now - not that Stefan could blame the zebra-horse. Right upon returning the (super nervous) horse, he passes by the saloon and. And yep, that sure is another few people tumbling out with injuries.

Thankfully, he's fed to his heart's content, but the sight makes him groan more than usual.]

You'd think they'd learn by now.
