Sheriff Grant Curly

an rp blog centering around a scottish, wild west take on grant curly, a character from the hit game MOUTHWASHING by wrong organ! go play it!!

[true-grant]

ᴍᴜɴ sᴘᴇᴀᴋs ⋗ so.

We all know why we're here, don't we?

If you haven't seen The News yet, uh ... well. maybe don't? Maybe don't. Instead—

DO YOU LIKE ... COWBOYS?

MOUTHWASHING (THE GAME)?

ADVENTURE (THE CONCEPT)?

RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2??

SOME EXCITING COMBINATION OF ALL OF THESE?

WELL HAVE I GOT AN OFFER FOR YOU!!

... granted (heh), it's not so much an offer as a plea because I have a very real and debilitating need to roleplay these silly characters as silly cowboys in spite of their origination in, uh, not just sci-fi media but a sci-fi video game, Andromeda being about as far from John Wayne as you can realistically get. (shhh that was a really great reference okay don't blow this for me)

I'm taking all comers—ocs as well as canon characters—though of course I'd prefer the latter. Let's flesh out the town of Tulpar, hey?

Honestly, what I'm really looking for is a new Jim-mun! I'll warn that there is a rough plot in place already, and that it's heavily jimcurly-centric, but I'm also open to soft-resetting or outright rebooting for the right partner! :) JIMMUN ACQUIRED ♥

THE CURRENT CAST LIST:

CANON

Grant Curly (that's meeeee :D)

James Zare (@zaredevil)

[true-grant]

round two?

- 🐍

... there was a round one?

Sorry, I'm late answerin'. There've been ... I--well, I'm jes sorry, s'all.

[true-grant]

hey mod! sorry if this is rude or mean or maybe im just crazy but am i allowed to ask what happened to Jimmys blog? I may be misremembering tbh since its been awhile (welcome back by they way! /pos) but thought id ask ^^'

if its a senstive topic or private please do not feel pressured to have to respond or answer

Hey! No problem at all. We didn't agree on the direction we wanted to take things, and they didn't much care for Tumblr besides.

I'd be delighted to re-incorporate them into the storyline if they do decide to come back, but for now I'm looking for a new Jimmy. :)

[true-grant]

... seems like I'm gettin' a lot o' mail addressed to ... Orion Carling? What kinda trumped-up science-fiction name is that?

not tha' it wuidnae be kind o', ye ken, keen? Orion, like t' constellation?

Ahem. Hmmm. I wonder if t' postmistress @star-in-making ain't drinkin' again ... ?

[true-grant]

mun what’s your stance on Orion Carling

give me scottish immigrant grant curly or give me death

ok like fr tho. I'm not ACTUALLY all that upset—God knows I'm well-versed enough in Death of the Author from my harry potter days—although retconning the design of the ID badge (it CLEARLY says 'Curly' on there) was, uh ... not the best move imo?

and ofc I have Opinions, having hc'd the boy halfway to Hell and back ... but like??

alright, so there is NO universe in which I accept that the spaceman's parents gave him a stereotypical space name—that's just lazy worldbuilding! to yoink someone else's descriptor, that's like naming him captain america mcspaceman!—but I suppose that's more righteous outrage than actual outright, y'know. dislike.

though tbf, my favorite rp partner and I had A Thing with jimcurly and names—jimmy's most intimate nickname for curly was just, well. his fucking first name: grant. so I'm biased ig

thanks for coming to my TED talk :) I am completely normal about this character :))

[true-grant]

Hey, partner, you okay? Is uh...everything fine?

I, er ...

Tha' is, um, t-to say—

Ah don't—I mean, 'm prolly jes', jes' worryin' overmuch, y'know. Like ... like he says I allus do.

But, but well, my husband—ye remember my husband?—he, er ... as well as accused me o' cheatin'—which he oughta have goddamn KNOWN better— //he visibly takes a moment to catch his breath; his brogue is thickening again, and he doesn't seem to realize it// ... an' Ah haven' ... haven' heard fr'm since.

An' Ah, Ah've writ him loads, so much A-Ah fear i' migh' be vergin' on t' pathetic, bu' ... Ah dinnae who Ah am without'm.

An' if this is any indication—Ah doan like who Ah am without'm.

An', an' then wha'? An' then wha'? Tak' t' coward's way oot, like me dear ol' granma? //he makes a gesture that honk, the mun of this blog, fears may get her in trouble with Big Tumblr, so let's just say he is gesturing a suggestion of a fun new cranial orifice!//

Or sit aroun', pinin' m'self t' death like me dear ol' dad might'a done, had nae he go' hisself two pissant lil' snotnoses to raise? //now he gestures, first to himself, then a much more violent swing of a hand out towards the wilderness//

Mo'e bek holm tae t' aulde country, mebbe, an', an' wha'? Wha'? Admit Ah cuidnae h-h-h— //it's a terrible thing to see a grown man break down—but Grant Curly, sheriff once, does just that, stumbling back against the nearest solid wall or object, his gloved hands over his face, as though they might alone conceal the shame he feels in this moment of losing control.//

[true-grant]

what if he never comes back.

[true-grant]

Yo yo yo, whats up! How are ya?

- 🦊🥀

Is this one o' the time ye ask bu' doan actually wanna hear the problems? 'Cos in that case, I'm doin' finer 'n frog's hair! An' yersel'?

[true-grant]

hows your boyfriend?

My husband, actually, an' we're doan jes' great!

We're doan fine!

Jes' fine.

We're doan ...

We're doan alright.

I heard from him jes' the other day, in fact, an' he said ... he accused me o'—we're doan okay.

We're alright. We're alright. We're alright.

[cowboycurly]

Solve my riddle

...

Im sorry but honestly i suck at riddles.

[true-grant]

//still absolutely drunk out of his mind//

OI IM GOOD AT RIDDLES. t' answer's 42! time! a, uh, a feckin', ... feckin' ... riverbed. mouth. rivermouth.

CATS!

[cowboycurly]

are YOU single? ain't married?

...

No, no im not married and yes i am single...whos asking? And WHY are you asking?

[true-grant]

Bin asked this a time or two myself. Might want to tread carefully here, partner.

[cowboycurly]

I plan on it, people are certainly...odd.

[true-grant]

HAH! And ain't that t' God's honest truth!

Welp, I'm always available if ye feel t' need t' talk. Don't sleep so good at night anymore not that I ever did, bu' s'got a lot worse lately.

How's the open range bin treatin' ye? Bin a bit ... odd, running int' so many, err, mes but I gotta say, breath o' fresh air t' find somebody ain't talkin' 'bout horses in t' sky.

[cowboycurly]

Pretty good, i gotta say! Though im pretty sure a me- or..us? I dont know, was on the verge of attackin' me or somethin'..probably cuz i was jokingly makin' fun of him or whatever. I can't help it if it's funny, yknow!

[true-grant]

Ye ken, I ha' noticed ... our? ... sense(s?) o' humor vary pretty gosh-dang wildly between, um. Us, I guess? yer right, there ain't no way tae say any o' this that makes one darn lick o' sense

Well, ye seem t' be takin' it a awful lot better'n I bin, so I take me hat off t' ye, sirrah! Love t' take ye oot fer a wee drink or six if ye ain't got nothin' else planned. Jes' no girl talk, yeah?

((OK FR THO NGL YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY THIS MADE ME. I started grinning like a crazy person and had to get up and walk around in a delighted circle))

[cowboycurly]

sure, why not! Nothin' happens much 'round here, honestly..gets pretty borin' sometimes. And no girl talk, got it. I don't even like that stuff at all..nor anythin along it. Not too fond of any a' that.

(HEHAHD IM JOYOUS IT MADE YOU HAPPY BRO, UR MAKING ME PRETTY HAPPY TOO U SEEM SO AWESOME!! Tbh id do a better accent for this fucker if i was more into putting effort. And if i was better at it..to me it just sounds like a boston accent [due to a certain favorite character of mine... {scout tf2.}])

[true-grant]

((HEYHEYHEY I THINK YR ACCENT SOUNDS MAGNIFIQUE!!! frfr tho write what makes you feel comfortable so that you're still able to have fun!! I'm just a perfectionist so I have a giant group of tabs labelled 'scottish hell' because, well. my usual rp buddy and I had the idea to lean into my curly being scottish and things went from there. I've got ENOUGH of a handle on him now that I'm not having to check the tabs every time I try to write his dialogue but BOY was it A Challenge there for a bit :'D))

[INT. THE SALOON]

//hours have passed. sheriff GRANT CURLY is deep in his cups. he isn't weeping ... just ... and he would deny the accusation, with at least the appearance of violence.

his brogue is stronger than ever. is he still speaking english? it's anyone's guess.//

lissen. lissen t' this. "ye done got yersel' a new little friend?" 'e sez. writes. writes ME! //in spite of the kibosh on "girl talk", the sheriff waves a letter vaguely in the direction of @cowboycurly's face//

"touchin' yer hand an' smilin'"?! lek ah ain't s'posed t' be FRIENDLY? och, bu' 'E'S allowed t' go gallivantin' 'round t' countrysi'—

SOME One has been leaving out Oozing carcasses, I am assured Most Warm & Fresh by the Hapless Cooke whose Humble Lotte in Lyf seems to be to take the very Worest We Wretched Few can Provide & Spin it into S'meth Resonbly Edible, but even They will not accept these Leavings as the Gifts I am sure they are Intended to be!!!

Cos see I know exactly Whomst is our Thoughtful Midnight Benefactor here & for Once it is Not Jimmy!!

& on this I am Sure on Acct of the Following Spesif Spffik Speccif Resons: he hasn't yet come home. THESE reesons though thus far elude me becos he SHOULD be home, should have BEEN home WELL before now.

Maybe I have driven him awayhe rote Recently & seemed Preoccupied, mayb w/ a woman? he is not after all such a Relentless Fagit as Yrs Truly,

Yet Morrelike it Rede as if HE believed ME Unfaithful, a concern not jes Whollly Unfounded but also Utterly Baffling. What could I have said? What might I have Done or Saidd to have reached his Ears?? It woud not Bbe the 1st Time he has Alloed his Minde to b prey'd upon by Strangers. Worste, it is ALL I hav herd from him inn Many Days.

so I spose I am Riting to The Lot of You:

wat shuld I do?

shud I II rite him agin?

mayb he is Hurt. shud I go looking? & what if he is Nott Alone?

P.S. Dabble has V. Softe Paws she does Nott Minde to Gette Wet. Ples do not Aske me How I Kno so I do not hav to Lye to You. Yrs Gratefully,

Grant Curly

Today was a Good Day!

There was a Cat & I Petted it. It followed me back to Camp so Of Course I fed it & well I think we have a Camp Cat now. Its Good, it will Chase Off the Mice ed. nivvermn I am Wronge, she only likes to Look at them & Watch them Run About. What a Fool I hav bean.

Cooke says the brun-n-oranj ones (or Newts, I like to Call them—I Miss watur something Dredful but do nott tell Jim, he Likes the Rolling Plains I think. to Me at least they arr in deed Very Plain) are Onlie Girls, so Her name is Dabble because she Dabs her Paw in water to lick off the droplets. Usually inn my Manlie Saloon Mug but that is alright, I do Not Mind.

I would attach a Photo but she refuses to Stay Still like a Good Girl so every Attempt is a ugly smear, just Imagine a rusty Black pipe only Covered in fur what Purrs All The Time & Licks herself Inaprr Innapppro Most Indecently.

I love her.

[no-gooddirtyoutlaw]
