I like it.

And I have no idea where to go, since Betty is already in the Market. Unless someone wants to give her trouble.

So what're we thinking is the incentive to "get the hell outta Dodge"?

Dunno. Betty is comfy there. Maybe a fire?

Hmmm. Maybe... Some bandits, perhaps? Raiding the town and setting it ablaze?

Yeah, looking for a man that ain't even in town. They could come in and be looking for him, and get mad when he doesn't show.

Maybe have a bar fight break out. Someone gets killed, the batender (bartenders always suvive) starts shouting "murderers". As they're getting the hell out of Dodge, Algernon spots Betty and grabs her, demanding his money back. So she gets dragged along as well.

Or have that mutant gang from the bounty board notice trash the place.

That should be interesting.

I'll admit that I'm getting a little bit bored of playing Lucius, who isn't really as entertaining as I thought he would be, so if we do have bandits raid the place (I think that idea's the best) I might kill him off then and maybe introduce a new character; I'm thinking a slightly crazed, shotgun wielding priest who'd join up with the group for...reasons. Reasons which we can work out.

Aw, I like Lucius.

Betty isn't going back into the saloon because she knows Lucius is in there and gonna be mad. That's why I ha ent posted.

Eh, I'm not getting major RP feelz from him, tbh. He's moderately entertaining, but he isn't really clicking all that much.

Can't argue with that. Though the crazed, shotgun wielding priest sounds like he could be fun. And as for why he's following them around, two words: Shepherd Book.

I love you.

Seconded.

And I've decided that he's replaced the Ten Commandments with his own personal One Commandment: Thou shalt kick ass.

Shiny

*Wanders off whistling Firefly theme*

Izzy High Priest of Sheogorath?

Nope, just a Brother of Badassitude.

Firefly, oh Inexperienced One.

Since Betty is out there with, you know, the guns, can I have some info on what's going on?

Yeaaaaaaaaaahhhh, so basically dem bandits are shooting the fack out of everyone and everything, so you should probably find some shelter an' stuff.

This is really going to suck if I can't get my computer running.

Let's try it.

Seeing as I'm heading off to bed, please don't get too carried away in my absence.

Let's get super carried away in his absence.

MY COMPUTER IS CHARGING!!!!

-cracks knuckles- let's see what I can churn out.

I thought that was a joke, and then I caught up with the thread



Congrats!

Damn you, timezooooones!

*Shakes fist at the sky*

Alright, Lucius has been killed off. Give me some time to write up a character sheet and to do some other, non-RP writing that I need to do, and I'll get rolling with Father Zachary Trimble.

Like the name, love the way Lucius died.

Alright, new CS is here. Give me a bit to introduce him into the playground thread.

Name: Zachary Trimble

Age: 57

Appearance: Dishevelled and skinny, with greying hair that seems to be consistent only in its erraticness. No beard, but grey stubble seems omnipresent. He wears a black cassock; please don't ask him about the things on it that look like bloodstains.

Occupation: Priest

Skills: Hurting people, breaking things, reading and quoting the Bible, shooting, being very loud.

Worldly possessions: His cassock, a Bible, his trusty double-barrelled shotgun 'Mercy' (typically loaded with phosphor shells), a veritable cartload of crazy, his unflappable mule, named Mark.

Biography: Growing up a quiet, unassuming and ultimately very pious young man, Zachary was the middle child of a dozen boisterous siblings who went on to study theology and become ordained as a man of the cloth. While on his way to his first parish, the stagecoach he was on was held up. The bandit in question, a mean killer by the name of Six-Round Jessie, expected the worst to happen on the robbery was for some idiot of a passenger to try and be a hero.

What he had not expected was for Zachary to beat him to death with a Bible.

Something about that incident made something snap in Zachary's head. While he was a diligent, patient, learned and wise priest with the people of the town he ministered, he was a force of nature against anyone who he perceived to threaten his flock. After one absolutely terrifying incident too many, the townspeople scraped together their courage and wrote a letter to Zarachy's superiors that essentially asked 'Can we have a less scary priest, please?' The good people of the town got a far less frightening priest, but Zachary was a loose end, and after some debate it was decided that he would best serve the Christians of the frontier as a travelling preacher.

Most priests view themselves as shepherds of their flocks with the duty of guiding their congregation into the light of the Lord. Zachary, too, views most priests as having that role, but he knows that the herd is beset by wolves, and someone has to stand guard. Lord have mercy upon the wolves out there, for Zachary shall not.

If you kill off this character, I will slap you.

And I will shoot you.

Ermm. Again.

I have a feeling that it would take more than a minor inconvenience like getting shot in the throat to stop Zachary...

I just noticed something:

Both Percival and Jonah seem to have forgotten about Betty.

Oops

Assume she's following until I say otherwise.

I sort of broke off the conversation with her because Percival got though-nnoyed at Jonah.

Also: Mustard, this man is a man I love. Keep him always.

There seems to be confusion. Both Percival and Jonah have left, but Mustard's character is talking to all three of them as if they're in one spot. Who's gonna fix it?

???



Are you now saying that she isn't following?

What I thought was happening was that Percival and Jonah had gone down the alley with Betty in tow. Zachary sees them from the other end of it (the end they'd be coming out of) and calls them from there. If I'm wrong, I can edit it.

No, I think you're spot on there.

Okay, I'm wrong then. Nevermind. And no, she's following, Callidus.

My turn?

Well, seeing as I'm still waiting it's definitely somebody's turn.

I think it's my turn, but I'm going to dinner at the in laws then either writing or sleeping.

I'd post, but Percival's a little out of his depth at present, so he's just following Jonah's lead.

So anything I posted wouldn't really add anything.

Face it you guys, Zachary is just too awesome and you're all lost for words.

Hey! Can´t steal the Call of Juarez idea just like that!

Oh, wait. He was more than just slightly crazed

Half Life 2 did before Call of Juarez. Just sayin'

Ok, I just got CoJ on my mind when I read that

So, how´s this RP thing going for you guys? I´ve read a few posts but not that much.

I think we're waiting in me, bit as I'm not in charge, I don't want to overstep my bounderies and make us go where we're not supposed to be

-Chanting- Overstep! Overstep! Overstep!

At the moment I'm thinking of it as being in a car on a very long journey. We're taking it in turns to drive, but only one of us knows where we're going, so if he nods off we'be got to wait for him to wake up.

Good fun though.

So where to now, pardners?
