Option A:
Uh.
Don't panic: possible livestock emergency.

One of the locals told me she left a hen on my porch. Guess what? Porch, no chicken.
So, you know.

If seen, do not engage. Report all chicken- and chicken-related activity.

[ ooc: Network/action, feel free to sight this chicken around town if you like! ]



Option B:
I heard some of you booze hounds were sniffin' around, so lemme save ya the trouble. My name's Majima, and I run the bar. The rules are don't be an asshole.

Here's a map. There's pool and darts. Got some smokes, too, but you better give me a real good reason why I should part with those.

Damn straight.

[ Don't get Majima wrong, he had plenty of cigarettes. It was just that he smoked like a chimney, so good luck prying them out of his cold, dead fingers. ]

Although an arcade'd be nice.

[criticality]

One pack a day kind of guy? I never liked smoking but it does look like an easy way to blow off steam.

[ Ha ha ha. ]

What's an arcade?

[justbeingknife]

You ain't ever been to an arcade? Got video games, UFO catchers with stuffed animal prizes. You know.

Loud as hell, though, and it'd take up a metric fuckton of juice to power one.

[criticality]

Oh... uh. Sure. It's a game? What are you catching with?

Would it still be fun if it's silent?

[justbeingknife]

Wait. You don't know video games, either?
You know, like that Oregon Trail thing that's on yer phone, only better?

[ sorry Tony ]

UFO catchers are more like... a carnival game. You put a coin in, and try to use a claw arm to snag a prize out of a box. Only the grip on the claw's hot garbage, so you gotta finesse it if ya actually want to pick up anything.

Lotta times all ya come up with's empty air.

ahhh, i looked at it but i didn't really understand the reference. I guess it was suppose to be a historical Earth moment? The cart is kind of weird. Why are they walking? I don't think I know four people to name these characters after...

I guess the point is before coming here I hadn't seen a screened device since I was a kid. Learning curve, you know?

That sounds frustrating! But also like a challenge. Maybe I'll get to try it someday.

[justbeingknife]

Yeah, I dunno. America's weird. I thought the old west was all about horses and ropin' cows. There are a bunch of buffalo, so that part makes sense.

There might be some old arcades around this place. Doubt any of the machines would work without a lotta repair, but you could at least kinda see what it was like. I used to play Space Harrier at the High-Tech Land a lot.

[criticality]

Seems to be. I've only ever read about America but it was more modern history. Or modern from our point in time.

[ He really can't think about that too much. It's creepy. ]

Where was that? Your home?

[justbeingknife]

Tokyo, Japan. Bright lights, loud noises, and so much shit to do you'll never get bored. Totally opposite of here.

I lived in Kamurocho. It's got a famous red-light district, along with some other things. You?
