Western Sunrise
« on: December 20, 2005, 05:54:39 pm »
It is the age of the Wild West.

The only trusted partners most people have are their revolvers. There is no such thing as crime as there are no such thing as laws in this land. Bandits, Robbers, and Rogues run this land taking what they want and moving freely. But Thier are some who would dare to bring civility and order to this rugged land.

Enter the small town of Ordinace, the first established settlement where people co-exist in peace.  They hope to one day tame this wild land, but for now they only hope to survive until tommorow.  They idea of law does not appeal to many of the desert bandits and so the town is constantly under attack.  But a plan was hatched by the townsfolk, to turn the robbers against one another.  How?  A $20,000 bounty on two of the most dangerous of the rogues.

Jack Cougar, and another known only as "Shotgun Grim"  tear apart west wherever they go. Bank robberies, cattle rustling, train robberies...the list goes on and at some point people stopped keeping count so there is no list of just how far their misdeeds go.  They are the most feared of the feared, men run from them, but the smart ones kill themselves before they can get to him.


Chapter 1: Salutations at the Saloon

BAAAANGG~

A gunshot echos in the streets and suddenly a quiet thud is heard as a man drops dead in the dirt.  A small crowd had been gathered around to see the shootout between the two rogues who had an arguement in the bar earlier.  A few other rogues begin to loot the deadman's body, taking his guns and anything else of value, as the winner of the shootout heads into the saloon.  The sound of laughter, music, and all around rowdiness emits from it with little regard to what had happened outside a moment ago.  Everyone else disperses going back to their daily routine.
Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

As the gunshot rang through the town, Michael walked down hte main street, wondering if there was anybody there that hadn't heard about his reputation. As his eyes wandered around, he noticed a saloon. The sign was hanging from a post sticking out of the building, with the name "The Fiery Lion" written on it, and a picture of a burning lion on it. Michael took a deap sigh, and walked into the saloon, hoping his luck would finally change.

As the crowd clears, William approaches the corpse, which has already caught the eye of a few king vultures circling overhead. Having never spent a lot of time in a town, and therefore having never experienced the behaviours of city-dwellers, William is surprised that nobody is around to take care of the body. Noticing an empty whiskey casket on the side of the road, he takes the time to lift the body into it. Placing his hat carefully on his head, he enters the saloon.

As O'Conner sits there drinking a mug of whisky, he notices a corpse on a whiskey casket. Not surprised that this happened, he continues drinking from his mug. He also noticed two new-comers in the saloon. He hopes they have better luck then the guy outside. He then finishs his mug, and orders another mug to pass the time since bussines was going slowly.

"Okay, we've learned two things from that last little encounter," Jonas said while sitting around a poker table in the smoke filled saloon. The saloon itself wasn’t too crowded.
"Number one; if you leave the table for a gunfight you forfeit your hand, and possibly some of your chips. And number two;" Jonas says as laying down a winning hand, "I'm damn good at poker. Who’s dealing next?”
“Shit!” said a man that threw his cards to the table in frustration. “God damn it Jonas, that’s the fourth straight hand you’ve won. I think ya might be cheating,” said the man as he began to shuffle the deck.
“Come on now, I don’t believe in cheating on poker…I only believe in cheating on woman,” Jonas replied which triggered laughter from all around the table.
“But since I don’t like no one disliking me, I think I’ll sit out the next hand and buy ya’ll a drink,” Jonas said as he picked up his cards and looked at the other players. Jonas could already tell their hands by the look in their eyes and the way they moved around. Jonas won the pot again. Two folded right away since they didn’t want to try to bluff, another tried and failed, and one man had a good hand, but because of the way Jonas held himself and raise the man folded out of panic.
“You fellas all forgot the second thing we learned,” Jonas said as he took all his chips and left the table to get the men their drinks.

O'Conner looks around, tipsy but not slurring his words. "Get me another mug of whiskey barkeep." Noticing the barkeep wasent listening, he grew annoyed. "Hey barkeep! Get me another mug damnit!." The barkeep flipped him off, he returned the jesture. "Fuck it. I need another client anyway." He then tried walking out but tripped. He was more drunk then he realized.

The Gunstar Hero.

I finally made it the the grand town of Ordinace. I figgered I would check out the sights, and by sights I meant tavern. No sooner then I walked in the doors did a man fall on his face at my feet. "Erm... I think there has been a mistake because the Gunstar Hero isn't into fellers. I would really rather have a fine woman as a welcoming gift." This is where I leaned down to the man and said "Sorry guy, I just ain't into dudes."

Earnest was barely done saying "STAY OUT YOU DRUNK" to O' Connor, when he noticed The Gunstar Hero in his bar. "Don't mind him, hes just stupid. So, what do you want, Whiskey. Ale, we got that new fancy 'WHINE' those italian were talking about." He did his best to be calm, but in his head, he was far from calm. Dead bodys, new people, dumbasses gett drunk and falling on clients. He'd just had bout enough of this town, but when he ducked down to get a glass there was a bang so loud, he knew it was in his bar. Instead of coming up with the glass, he came up with a shotgun, ready to shoot the varmin who did such things in his establishment.

Unused to the atmosphere of the bar, William seats himself at the counter.
"Got any port?" he asks with a notably thick British accent.
The bartender remains silent, but steps aside and gestures to a casket of Abernathy behind him.
"Yeah, i'll have a pint of that," William says, turning around upon hearing a drunk man lumber out the door. The next thing he knew, there was the sound of a rifle being discharged. The bartender calmly leveled a shotgun at a man standing across the room.

Michael sighed as he walked up the the bar, completely ignoring the world around him. He sat down, only just noticing the shotgun in the Bartender's hands. "Hey man, why're you pointing a shotgun? Those things are dangerous, you know," said Michael, "anywho, gimme a shot o' whiskey, I'll be needing it."

After falling flat on his face and being called gay and almost getting his head blown off by an angry barkeep, O'Conner gets to his feet. After checking to see if he was okay he sits on a chair where the poker game is at. "Don't mind me, i'm just watching. And don't mind the barkeep, he's just mad cause I didn't kill his mother in law." The barkeep then shouts, "That and you haven't paid your tap yet ya bum!" At hearing this he replies, "Hey, I said when I get that 50 bucks i'll pay it. Names O'Conner, killer for hire. Nice to meet ya." He holds out his hand to shake.

The Gunstar Hero.

"Well, I appreciate the offer of hand-shakin' but no thanks. BUT, I am the GUNSTAR HERO~!!" I made a grand pose then quickly went to the bar and ordered something wet.

The pub quickly returns to normal. The bartender returns with William's pint, upon which he plops down two nickles to pay for it. At first, William thinks he won't see any old acquaintances, but, turning to his left, he sees a familiar bandana-covered face.
"That can only be you under that hat, Michael," he says, tapping the mercenary lightly on the shoulder with the end of his mug.

As Michael turned towards the mug, he saw the beaming face of William, instantly jumping out of his depression at the sight of the old friend. "William! Where've you been? I haven't seen you since that thing we pulled down in Blakesville!" exclaimed Michael, "Times have been tough though. Think you could spare an old friend a dime for a pint?"

As he watches the poker game, and Jonas winning for the 13th time in a row he asks, "So anyone need anyone killed, mother in law, ex-wife, annoying family member, or anyone thats basically got on your nerves? I am a killer fer hire ya know."
