[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?]

Um, we can use one of the boxes of water.

[They're heavy and enormous]

Very well. Help me?

[He starts to the back of the wagon, motioning for Billy to follow him.]

[Cinna's not the strongest, but they manage to get one of the large containers onto the ground near the leaning wheel.]

I'll... hold up the wagon and you slide it under?

[Billy takes the tools and holds them a little awkwardly]

Well, I mean...it can't hurt, right?

Well, at the very least it will stop the lean so we can work on a repair solution.

[He moves to the edge of the wagon and pulls upward.]

Hurry, I can't hold this for long.

From: [personal profile] inmyothertights
[Sob please no squishing. He starts to work as soon as he slips under]

Why was this a good idea, again?

From: [identity profile] threadthefire.livejournal.com
Because we can't fix the axle if it's still bearing weight?

[He thinks.]

I meant the going to Oregon part.

From: [identity profile] threadthefire.livejournal.com
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.

inmyothertights: (Billy - abuh?)
From: [personal profile] inmyothertights
[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.

You maaaaaaaaaaaay have to settle for Nebraska.

[Cinna plops down on the ground.]

I can't afford to get slowed down.

[Pause]

You really like her, don't you?

inmyothertights: (Billy - hesitating)
From: [personal profile] inmyothertights
I feel that way about my sweetheart, too.

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

Will your sweetheart be joining you out west?

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

I hope so.

You need water.

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

We can't risk dehydration.

[Pause]

It's the silent killer.

[Cinna raises his eyebrow.]

If you so insist.
