Chapter 10: Greenill Section ID Day?

[nanocerancowboy]

[ACTION - A (BACKDATED TO MARCH 17, Anywhere in Mayfield, Morning to Evening, OPEN TO ALL)]

[See that six-foot android covered head to toe in some sort of armor, going about his business?]

[He's not wearing green. At all.]

[Try to pinch him. Go on, try it.]

[ACTION - B (BACKDATED TO MARCH 17, John Doe Park, Afternoon, OPEN TO ALL)]

[That same android now seems to have a couple of drones following him, even hanging on to him, desperately trying to pinch him—on the hard, armored parts of his body. Suffice to say, they're not having much luck—and the android looks a little annoyed as he tries to brush some of the drones off of him.]

What in th' hell are ya'll on about?

[ACTION - C (BACKDATED TO MARCH 17, Olney's Tavern, Evening, OPEN TO ALL)]

[Gat's noticed the sizable amount of patrons heading toward the tavern, both droned and undroned alike. Curious, he's come to the tavern himself, though judging from the way he carries himself and rubs the back of his helmeted head as he scans the tavern in a manner not unlike the Terminator, he's a little perplexed.]

I've got an entire closet full of stuff back home. Once I get it back, I'll show you all the neat souvenirs I have.

[Among which are teddy bear shaped iron maidens.

[nanocerancowboy]

[Perfect for torturing care bears!]

Souvenirs, eh? Done a lotta tourin', I take it.

[Seriously, someone like Gilgamesh could probably stock the SCP Foundation full of interesting knickknacks.]

[1st_superhero]

[Not usless they're interested in things like Dracula's underpants or the cube that used to be Diomedes.]

Oh yeah, all over the place. Turns out when you're immortal, staying in one place too long gets really boring, so I ended up walking all over the Earth.

[And getting in copious amounts of trouble]

[nanocerancowboy]

I'd reckon so. I can't claim to know what it's like from experience, but I used to know a few androids back on my homeworld who'd been 'round for a few human generations.

[Gat looks around at their surroundings.]

Then again ... things're always changin', 'specially from th' timescales you're workin' from. Give somethin' a century or even a few decades and it ain't gonna be th' way you found it.

[1st_superhero]

I know, but sticking it out and waiting for the progress is boring, so I usually leave for a century or so before coming back.

Ack, sorry! The census distracted me!

[nanocerancowboy]

[Gat chuckles.]

Sounds like things'll never get borin' that way.

Well ... 'least outside of this town, I reckon.

Re: It's alright. I don't mind.

[1st_superhero]

...Speaking of boredom, this town doesn't offer much in terms of amusement, does it? Would be nice if they built an amusement park or something.

[From the glint in his eye, one can see that he is plotting something.]

[nanocerancowboy]

Well—not a permanent one. Back in th' month of September they made everyone spend a night doin' somethin'. From what I can tell three things were goin' on, an' one of 'em was some kinda carnival.

I didn't get to see it, though. Th' town stuck me an' my coworker in th' Lourve Hotel.

[Very, very slight hint of bashfulness.]

[1st_superhero]

[He pouts.]

A carnival and a night in a hotel...and they didn't invite me back then? Man, this town really is evil.

[nanocerancowboy]

Seems like folks only got to see only one of those three. An' I ain't sure how th' town determined where they sent us. I reckon it might've had to do with whether or not th' town treated us as "married," though, considerin' they've turned my coworker into my "wife."

[1st_superhero]

Well, at least it was someone you knew.

[He barely holds back from asking Gat about the bedroom details.]

Anyway, since this town failed to provide us with an amusement park...we should build our own!

[nanocerancowboy]

Buildin' one for ourselves?

[Gat strokes his chin with a thumb and forefinger.]

Would th' town even let folks do somethin' like that?

[1st_superhero]

Even if it reverts our work, wouldn't it be awesome even trying to build it? And once it's open, we can charge cash to let people enjoy themselves for the 24 hours that it lasts!

[nanocerancowboy]

Well, I sure ain't gonna fault ya for wantin' to try. With all th' horrible things that go on in this here town, folks deserve a break. ... I'm wonderin' if'n th' town's leadership would do anything to any kinda construction goin' on in th' emptier parts of th' town, near th' borders.

I know there's a few engineers in town. If'n you're thinkin' about doin' it, you could ask 'em for help.

[1st_superhero]

Alright, that sounds great. Give me some addresses and numbers and I can discuss it over with them.

[Though given his personality, whatever ride ideas he has will be based on rule of cool, with not consideration toward physical plausibility or safety.]

[nanocerancowboy]

Well, one of 'em lives on 1450 Mitchell Street. Goes by "Engie." Pretty good with improvisin' things jus' from what th' town offers. He was buildin' heaters for folks back in December, when th' town's power grid was cut out.

Th' other one, you'll need to ask for 'em on th' phone. I ain't had a chance to meet th' fella an' I wasn't given an address, but he was recommended to me—name's Quinn. I was told he's really good with technology an' would be capable of comin' up with substitutes for th' equipment I'm missin'.

[1st_superhero]

[He nods.]

Alright. I'll give them a call and see if we can get anything started.

[nanocerancowboy]

Wish ya luck on'at. It'll be nice to have somethin' fun to do that ain't subject to th' town's whims.
