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!]

Where is your destination?

[huaaaaagh]

I'm... exploring, mostly.

[ABORT ABORT THIS PLAN WAS TERRIBLE]

I-I mean! I guess... one of the bars might be nice...?

[curiositykilledthecats]

I will guide you.

[Beckon levequest accepted!]

What is your name?

[huaaaaagh]

[Suddenly, deeply regretting using his online handle as his regular name around here. Now he has no normal alias to fall back on.]

Kiri... ko. Um... thank you.

[curiositykilledthecats]

... "Lady Kiriko", then.

[She's giving you a weird look now, though.]

[huaaaaagh]

Oh, no no, I'm definitely no lady.

[Let's not make things more uncomfortable by adding honorifics.]

What about you...?

[Please stop looking at me like that.]

[curiositykilledthecats]

... Miah Lanbatal.

Have you kin in the fleet?

[huaaaaagh]

Kin...?

[He has a bad feeling about this.]

No, I don't think so. Why?

[curiositykilledthecats]

Your name and face remind me of another. Perhaps my mind plays tricks on me.

[huaaaaagh]

Ah... maybe I have a doppleganger! I've heard that people have at least one twin somewhere in the world, after all.

[He is trash. He is absolute trash. This was a terrible decision.]

[curiositykilledthecats]

And perhaps more in many worlds.

[Look at this trusting lawful good person, Kirito. Feel guilt for your deception.]

[huaaaaagh]

[Oh, the guilt. He feels it.]

A-anyway. I really appreciate the help.

[curiositykilledthecats]

Think nothing of it. To help those in need is natural.

[huaaaaagh]

For some more than others, really...

[Like people who offer their services to poor lost girls versus people who lie to save their dignity.]

Oh, but where were you headed? I'd hate to put you out of your way.

[curiositykilledthecats]

Nowhere in particular. I am merely patrolling. There is no set area.

[huaaaaagh]

[Crap, so much for escape tactic #1.]

Sounds pretty important. How'd you get a job like that?

[curiositykilledthecats]

A demonstration of martial prowess following an unsightly display.

[Read: I beat the shit out of a criminal and got a job.]

[huaaaaagh]

[THAT'S AWESOME. He's a little envious now.]

Ah- you must be strong, then! What did you show them?

[He can at least talk shop a little bit before he gets himself out of there.]

[curiositykilledthecats]

Why one should never grab another's tail without warning.

[Maybe not what he asked, but it seems relevant regardless.]

[huaaaaagh]

[...Welp. It's not like he'd been planning to do that to her, but since he has done it in ALO with a Cait Sith friend or two in the past, he makes a mental note to avoid that. She says it just ominously enough to seem like a warning.]

Um... so noted...

[curiositykilledthecats]

[Her tail is now flicking back and forth, like she's very amused.]

Though I am sure telling you such is unnecessary.

[huaaaaagh]

O-of course, touching someone without permission is terrible manners! I wouldn't even think of it.

[Maybe he should rethink his teasing policy when it comes to his furry friends.]

[curiositykilledthecats]

Then all is well.

[Look, the other Miqo'te here would literally bludgeon you with a spiked iron book for it. Miah's actually the nice one. Good luck, Kirito.]

[huaaaaagh]

[He has self restraint! ...Most of the time. Sometimes his instincts are bad. Case in point: lying to people who can totally kill him.]

How do you like this planet? Ever been to a place like this before?

[curiositykilledthecats]

... If we are being candid, I must confess I like it not. It reminds me too much of the deserts of Thanalan, and all that has occurred there.
