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!]

Margie! [The tiny child recognizes her and greets her with a smile, breaking character for the moment. Then he clears his throat.]

That's right. This town... it's full of city slickers and cowpokes. It's time that someone helped lasso this place into shape!

[Then he tugs at his shirt with both hands, as if tugging at each side of a vest.]

And I know that I'm the lad for the job!

[punchingly]

Hello Steven.

[ Nodding in greeting! ] Do you need some help? An assistant?

[jamminshield]

I won't say no to any help! Heroes are best when they're part of a team. [Like the Crystal Gems.]

I'm an unofficial deputy, so... you can be the unofficial deputy deputy! How's that sound?

[punchingly]

Yes, they are. At home all of our heroes team up in teams of four. Sometimes eight.

[ Like light parties! ]

That sounds perfect. What does an unofficial deputy deputy do?

[jamminshield]

That's a good number. That's like two whole ninja teams! [He smiles proudly.] When I'm with the Crystal Gems, we're a team of four.

An unofficial deputy deputy doesssss.... some of the most important stuff! It's like being a sidekick, but equal at the same time. You help me to look out for danger and deal with it! And the most important rule is you can't get hurt at all, okay? [Those are the rules.]

[punchingly]

Ninja teams? [ She knows what ninjas are, but had no idea they had teams! ] Four is a good number. Do you have a healer, and a tank?

I will be the best sidekick, I promise. There will be no getting hurt on duty. [ Or....she will heal it. ] What does danger look like here? Do you know?

[jamminshield]

Yep, like the New Ninja Squad! I'm glad you like our number. I'm a healer! But, um... [He squints in confusion.] we don't have any tanks. We're... not tank drivers. Unless you count my dad with his van, but he doesn't go on missions with us.

[He's really confused and imagining this lady and her friends riding around in a tank. What kinds of battles are they fighting?!]

I believe you! You're the best person for the job, Deputy Deputy Margie.

[Now he pokes at his chin curiously.]

I'm not sure what danger looks like around here, but I'm pretty sure I know what it smells like. It smells like... [Dramatic pause. He chews around the straw in his mouth a little.] ...trouble.
