EARTH 24*(&A$%7HGKPOI

WHO: All transdimensional imPorts.
WHERE: The town of Capers.
WHEN: October 24th, noon, to October 29th, noon.
WARNINGS: Probably violence, but alert me if something else evolves and I can update this.
SUMMARY: Lachesis pulls a group of Cityverse imPorts into another world adventure -- here be the wilds of the west, and dinosaurs!
FORMAT: As you please!



You arrive at the town of Capers from one split second to the next -- from the asphalt and concrete of the City to the dusty and earthen dirt of this wildwood space. The sun is hot and the sky is streaked with thin clouds. The landscape of the town is sparse, utilitarian; you'll find saloons and dance halls, quarries and fenced corrals, the local gaol and the hanging scaffold, the shops and medical facilities (barbershop included). In fact, the logwood architecture of the buildings direct into those four major categories, and the structure of the town forms something circular, much like a compass. You might have been ported in at any of these places, as Lachesis would have delivered you at random.

The sun in the sky burns a golden yellow, peering down at you like some celestial eyeball. Almost feels like it's watching you.

You're wearing your clothes and you've got your communicator on you, but that's about it. You can still contact the Network, but you cannot leave this world. And since you look like such an outsider, it takes only a few moments for you to be ushered by local Samaritans to the Capers Town Hall. There, in his white suit and black belt, stands Mayor Eisner -- and he greets you warmly. He tells you that Capers is used to extradimensional pioneers, and he's happy to invite you into his town. But for a town like his to survive at this unilateral crossroads, certain customs must be observed -- you understand, there's a method of expectation that enables order. You might catch glimpses of other imPorts filing in, being escorted by the kindly souls they came across. Mayor Eisner asks you your name and your favorite color. He asks you if you're a spiritual individual, or more secular. He asks you about the first animal that comes into your mind.

Then he ponders your face for a moment.

Then, with a strong and genuine pat on your shoulder, he tells you who you are, in his town of Capers.

You are free to reject or accept the role, but that all comes with respective consequences.

Welcome to Capers, hero.

[ Abed's face shifts full-on into a warm smile, and he shakes Norman's proffered hand. It's all completely out of place on him, but that was the point in committing to the role anyway. ]

Tom Reece. Welcome to Capers, Norman Osborn. Guess you'll have met our Mayor already, huh?
osreborn: (accomplished.)

Charming fellow, isn't he? Asks a lot of questions, but I can't complain about the work opportunity.

[ He likes the idea of being a gaoler, is all. ]

What is it that you do, Tom?
coolcubed: (∂ yeah that was a great episode.)

[personal profile] coolcubed 2013-11-07 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Just likes to make sure things get set up right, that's all. [ Abed really has no idea. He's still wondering what favorite colors brought to the mix. ] When I turned up in town, he set me up as a railway engineer. A little outta my usual way, but the work 'round here is always honest. It's somethin' to appreciate in this day and age.
osreborn: (speaking of...)

[personal profile] osreborn 2013-11-07 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well, like I said -- can't complain. He seems to know where people fit, doesn't he? There's a lot of merit to some hard work.

[ He looks Abed over. ]

... Builds muscle, doesn't it?
coolcubed: (∆ western: BROS)

[personal profile] coolcubed 2013-11-08 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Abed plants his hands on his hips and smiles. Westerns and good humor are pretty hand-in-hand. ]

For some lucky folk, yeah. Think I've been holdin' back on it a little.
osreborn: (your pain is enjoyable to me.)

[personal profile] osreborn 2013-11-08 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure it takes some getting used to. Maybe with a few more months under your belt, right?

[ Says the man who is pretty buff for someone that's apparently only a businessman. ]

Planning to stick with it?
coolcubed: (∆ western: super serial)

[personal profile] coolcubed 2013-11-15 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Don't see why not. It's got some appeal in it, after all. [ He figures, if he really ends up stuck here forever, might as well earn muscle and learn to operate a train somehow. ]
