15th Design [accidental video]

[Here's Cinna, standing outside, next to your typical covered wagon. He's in, gasp, common clothing and a big floppy hat which is currently held in his hand as he scratches his head.]

Why won't it move forward?

[He kicks the wheel and the entire wagon leans.]

...That wasn't supposed to happen was it?

[ooc: Cinna is a banker, which means rich, but skill-less. Oops. Good luck fixing that axle, right? Party members include Billy and possibly Rue. Anyone else care to join?]

Because there are opportunities there that we don't have in the East. I, for example, can buy a large swath of land to settle down with my sweetheart.

[Grunt, and a crack, and Billy hurries out from under]

Swath of land here?

[The axle is 100% broken]

[Cinna jumps back. That was close.]

No, I've purchased land in Oregon.

[inmyothertights]

You maaaaaaaaaaaay have to settle for Nebraska.

[Cinna plops down on the ground.]

I can't afford to get slowed down.

[inmyothertights]

[Pause]

You really like her, don't you?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

She is my future.

[inmyothertights]

I feel that way about my sweetheart, too.

[Except you know. It's a he.]

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Will your sweetheart be joining you out west?

[Cinna fans himself with his hat, it's hot out here.]

[inmyothertights]

I hope so.

You need water.

We should conserve what we have, Billy, it will only get hotter the further we go.

[inmyothertights]

We can't risk dehydration.

[Pause]

It's the silent killer.

[Cinna raises his eyebrow.]

If you so insist.
