Re: [YOLW] Re: High Moon Tales. Tales of the Wicked West.
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý? ?(Sicilien) "Kansas City, Kansas or Kansas City, Missouri?? But I guess it wouldn't matter which, seeing as they're just a hop and a skip across," he mused.? When he was just about to speak again, the waitress came back around and brought them some grub, though he still didn't have his drink.? So when she sat the waters and the soup down, he pushed those aside in favor of the more beefier substances, so to speak - the biscuits, mashed potatoes and chicken.? Grabbing a fork, he stuffed his face full of food and swallowed the first bite, starting to feel just a bit more agreeable.? "As for myself, I hail from Hell's Hollow.? Aptly named, I s'pose, for having mines that stretch as deep into the earth as the mountains lick the sky high." He paused for a bit, mulling over at the rest of what the man said.? Business, huh?? "Seems you and I are here for the same reasons, though I hadn't expected to have to hole up in this place.? No, my business takes me a bit ways away from here.? Miller's Crossing, have you heard of it?"? It made him think of how the train porter had reacted to his inquiry.? Strange as it may have been, it was just one man's answer, so he wasn't yet sure if he should've been rightly suspicious or not.? Since he's already began testing the waters, why not throw some bait in and see what bites?? He could already feel that someone's eyes were on him, but he gave no physical indication of such.? He did let his one orb meander a bit, continuing to scan the crowd, but it was no more than that of a man who was simply bored. (Old - NPC Waitress) She smiled at the two men bringing them both two glasses of water, some biscuits and bows of soup, mashed potatoes and some fried chicken. ¡°Sorry about the food wait. Kitchens a bit backed up. Everyone in town is here.¡± She giggled with a cheery smile. ¡°Oh...the nice young woman didn¡¯t come sit down. I¡¯ll go get her.¡± As she moved to find Etienne she saw Flynn and Callie. ¡°Need a table suga?¡± She looked to Flynn and frowned, "Could use some water. We're going to have to get away from this place soon. Any chance you can work some magic on the water and make it safe for us to drink?" (Flynn) "I'm not sure if my kinda magic will work on whatever kind is bein' used to witch-up the water," Flynn said in a low voice as they headed towards the table. "There's a coupla things I can try, but don't touch the stuff until I give you the nod, okay?"? "Evenin', gents," the pookah said to Chase and Sicilien when he and Callie reached the table, touching the brim of his hat as he spoke.? "I hope you don't mind if'n we join you.? The waitress steered us your way, sayin' they're short on seatin' due to the crowd. Besides..." he smiled lazily as he set his travel bag and gun case on the floor next to a chair and sat down "...I think we just might be expectin' each other." ? (Charity- Millers Crossing) ? "You know," Charity whispered softly to her husband, who was snoring softly and completely unaware, "the worst part about a sudden rain up here in the high plains is that it brings out so many of the dormant critters." She smashed a scorpion with her bare hand and laughed. "Especially once the morning sun warms up all of that moist, disturbed soil." She stood up, her nude form glistening in the moonlight from the window, and looked out towards the storm on the horizon over Bendo. ? "Those poor people," she sighed. "all of those insects at once! Then the spiders, voles, snakes, lizards, and other critters that like to eat the insects, then foxes and coyotes," she turned to the bed where the Mayor still snored, "why, I wouldn't be surprised if a couple grizzlies show up to the party!" ? Somewhere out on the plains a wolf howled. "See," she said, "the critters know. And all of that rotting human flesh too! I mean, if they drink the water anyway." She laughed then, and her husband stirred. "The warrior, paladin, magi, rogue, and maiden have gathered in one group. One strike." Her eyes glistened coldly like those of a snake, and out in the night a faint rattle drifted on the winds of the storm. ? "Did you say something, Charity?" he asked softly. ? "Yes," she replied, turning towards the bed with a cruel, toothy smile, "I said I'm in the mood again, make love to me." ? "It's the next step, isn't it? You always get this way just before you take the next step. Will we be opening another sipapu and building another kiva?" he asked as Charity melted into his arms. ? "Ohhhh," she moaned as if in ecstasy already, her mind already reaching out to the creatures of the plains, "yesss." ? (NPC Rancher - Bendo) ? "Passin' strange, this storm," the old man said to his companions. "Come up just as them five strangers rolled into town an' met up. I'm thinkin' maybe one thing led to another, yup." The other rough ranch workers grumbled in unison, nodding their heads. "Got the feel of sumthin' weird is all," he glared at the table where Sicilien and Chase were sitting as Callie and Flynn approached. "An' just now there they are a-meetin' up." The other men looked over, mumbling between themselves. "All they need is that girl." In unison the band of burly men all took a sip of water from their cups and looked around the room for Etienne. (Chase) Chase looked up to the newcomers that didn¡¯t look all that new, the woman he remembered from the town back a ways. The man not so much but he had a different smell about him, that was something even to Chase¡¯s sensitive nose from the smell of it the two were¡together.? His eyes narrowed as the man said they might be expecting each other.? He didn¡¯t like that but he wondered if that was what the woman back there was taking about.? ¡®Five¡she gave each one of them a name a point of familiarity almost like chess pieces.? ¡°Chase is my name¡why might we be¡expecting each other?¡± he asked just wondering as he nodded to acknowledge the both of them. (Etienne Desante) Etienne was about to head to the bar, when the woman smiled at her. ¡°Hey Suga. It would appear that table I was going to put you at is all full. Sorry about that. Do you mind eating at the bar?¡± Etienne smiled. ¡°I will do you want better. How about I take my food to my room. Is that okay?¡± The waitress frowned. ¡°No that will never do.¡± She shook he head. And hooked her arms with Etienne, ¡°Come with me. I have a special table for you.¡± She said leading her to a table near the window. Near the men who had been watching her. It was a small table meant for two. ? [ new Sicilien] Sicillien was midbite when he noticed a couple of space invaders approaching them.? Two men was already too many at his table, an addition of a third one wasn't any more welcome than the second.? Once the man spoke, however, he moved to the side to set down his effects, and then another shape materialized behind him...a woman.? Though the waitress said he should've expected someone of the female persuasion, he wondered if he was yet taken for a fool thrice more since she was with a companion.? They seemed to have some familiarity with each other though.? He noticed them walking close together, so they must be companions of a sort.? He took note that Chase was eyeing them with just as much of a suspicion, though he did not hesitate to introduce himself.? May as well follow suit. "I'm Sicillien, and I definitely was not expecting any of you.? I seem to be attracting all sorts of riff-raff tonight.? No offense, Chase," he said, tilting his head slightly at his table companion's side.? He looked back at the man and woman before him, leaning back as he picked off a tiny string of sinew from between his teeth with his pinky nail, making a small "tch!" sound as he sighed in relief.? "To what or whom do we owe the pleasure of our company tonight, lady and gent?" Tag- ? (Posting Order: Sicilian, Callie, Flynn, Chase, Etienne, Charity (jumping as she sees fit other) ? |
