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!]

I would be surprised if you remember aught of it by tomorrow.

[ At the rate with which he is chugging, she may have to drag him to somewhere safe once his body strikes the floor, before it's struck by boots. Well, she is not above doing such things - Nor from demanding payment in return. ]

But wine will do enough to forget.

That's the idea!

[He says it cheerfully enough, at least— him or her forgetting, it's hard to say. Maybe both.]

Let's try this again. Been with the fleet long? [That one's actually a question! Progress.] Or is that one too far in the other direction? Hmm.

It is a beginning. I have been here not overlong; My arrival was merely measured in days, not months, before the attack. But I have some familiarity with the strangeness of ships and other worlds. Yourself?
unconfines: (W → the sun will be guiding you;)

[personal profile] unconfines 2015-09-23 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm in the months category for certain. I don't remember how many. It all goes so fast when you're hurtling through the blackness of space, don't you think?

[Rhetorical. Space as a concept creeps him out, so he just likes referencing that where he can.]

You might still be ahead of me on the rest of it, though. I don't think I'll ever be familiar with [a vague, expansive hand gesture, drink in one hand] all of this.

I have become well-accustomed to strangeness. This planet is yet more pleasant than the desert from which I once lived, and I pray this kindness continues.

[ Ul'dah, desert of corruption, slavery and riots. Home, adopted home. ]

[personal profile] unconfines 2015-09-24 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
This one is pretty exciting, isn't it? [He likes the saloons, at least, if that hadn't already been made obvious.] Some of them are downright dreary, but this one's not so bad.

Can't really say I'm one for the desert, though. Much colder where I'm from. Muddier, too. I hope yours at least has shade somewhere.

[Her desert, he means. He's babbling a little.]
notkittenaround: (There's a reckoning)

Naturally, though most take to stripping down to loincloths and basking in the heat.

[ A matter of fact pronouncement. She has seen too many strutting in subligars and bikinis to make aught of it. ]

Is your land one of snow and blizzards, or merely exceptionally muddy?

[personal profile] unconfines 2015-09-24 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Anders' smile, maybe predictably, goes a bit salacious at the prospect of stripping down.]

Oh, just the mud. We'll get snow in the winter every now and then, but where I was that mostly just meant more mud.

I like the sound of yours much better.
notkittenaround: (One more day standing around)

[personal profile] notkittenaround 2015-09-25 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
It is certainly less dreary, and I have never been overfond of mud in my fur. In truth, I have found myself surprised to see so many overdressed for the heat.
unconfines: (W → they're dying to stop you;)

[personal profile] unconfines 2015-09-26 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
In our defense, we don't really have the fur thing going for us. It's all or nothing, in the clothing department.

[He thinks this is absolutely delightful.]

You have clearly never glimpsed a gladiator wearing a subligar - So little that is worse than nothing itself.

[ Shame over nakedness is for other species, let alone one from Ul'dah, where women and men prance equally stripped. ]
unconfines: (W → break out from society;)

[personal profile] unconfines 2015-09-27 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, tell me more about that one. [He leans his chin on the heel on his hand, eyes glittering.] And what are the odds that we can convince the rest of the fleet to pick it up?

[Is that a joke?? The world may never know.]

[personal profile] notkittenaround 2015-09-27 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
It is not uncommon for the gladiators to stand on city streets, where they might glisten and practise their flexing, yet their subligars are little more than a codpiece and decorative straps. It is a distracting sight.

[ She sips her wine between sentences, settling into the warmth of the buzz. She is no heavy drinker, but it is a comfortable conversation even despite the strangeness of the topic. ]

I am no crafter, but perhaps my companion might favour you with one if it so interests.
unconfines: (W → break out from society;)

[personal profile] unconfines 2015-09-27 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
For me?

[He clearly finds this idea spectacular. He lifts one arm to flex for her; it's not very impressive.]

I've never glistened before, to be perfectly honest with you, but there's a first time for everything! I'd almost rather the opportunity to appreciate it, though.
notkittenaround: (There's a reckoning)

[personal profile] notkittenaround 2015-09-27 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I do not carry one for myself, for were I to strip, a swimsuit is just as well. But I admit, t'would be entertaining to see one here - and perhaps more comfortable than a heavier outfit.
unconfines: (W → tomorrow is another day;)

[personal profile] unconfines 2015-09-29 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
There, you see, I knew I liked you. Tell me, what's your friend's name? Maybe I'll give them some business, since we're roughing it, and everything.

[personal profile] notkittenaround 2015-09-29 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Miah Lanbatal is another of my kind, and a loyal friend besides. If I did not like you, I would make many threats about the sanctity of your manhood were you to touch her untowardly, and make good on them fast.

[ She states, completely at ease. ]

But you have not made so much a poor impression.
unconfines: (W → with a broken toy;)

[personal profile] unconfines 2015-09-30 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Anders points at her, one wobbly finger slightly off its mark.]

So you do like me! [Yeah, that's what he got out of that.] Not to worry, I'd never touch a lady untowardly. Well, not unless she asked me to.

[What, he couldn't leave an opening unaccounted for. But he's telling the truth, if a bit slurred.]

Point is, it'll be strictly business. You have my word!
