When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West

Who: Everyone! EVERYONE!
Broadcast: IF YOU WANNA
Action: Everywhere! EVERYWHERE!
When: Mid-September - Mid-October

[How's your ship doing, pardners? Is it still pretty damaged? Is it glitching out hardcore? Well, there is one place to land to take care of all that, and that's on a dusty old moon in front of a planet that no one wants to go to. On this moon, you'll find a civilization that looks a lot like one's stepped into a wild west movie, hardened cowpolk and mutant horses and all. Will you become a vigilante, hunting bounties and stopping gangs from doing their dirty work? Will you go exploring planetside, with a cowboy hat and a stalk of wheat in your mouth to complete the look? Good luck with that; there is no wheat. This town ain't big enough for all you flooters, but make it so! For the ratings!

In other words, it's a planet mingle! Get 'er done!]

Haven't you seen a movie?

[Says James, who saw his first movie about two months ago, and it was so cool -- but he digresses and decides to take pity on the poor woman, who clearly has some issues in the fun department, and hops down to gesture at the notecards.]

C'mon -- look, you've got to put a bit of passion into it, this is a serious business. To hell with communicating, you've got to sound threatening. This is about making an impression. He --

[With a pointed finger toward the shady criminal type.]

-- is willing to shoot you, miss, what are you going to do about it?

Of course I ha - [she was just really busy taking offense at all the inaccuracies.

She looks at the shady criminal type James is pointing dramatically at.]
Hm. Ideally, I'd like to stop him before he does so.
misterprongs: (✳ don't laugh.)

[personal profile] misterprongs 2015-09-24 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
And I've got the utmost faith in you.

[It's always the tiny girls that can kill you the fastest, in James' personal experience, and he gestures again at the criminal who is edging about.]

But you've got to leave an impression, yeah? It can't just be a quick thing, you've got to sound good. This is going to be in the papers, miss! Make them regret it.

[the papers? That almost sounds important.

Pearl nods seriously, takes a deep breath, and then stands up straight. The notecards get tucked away in a pocket (heavens forbid she litters) and then she's pointing dramatically at the dude.]


Halt, you dastard! In the name of Ro - [oops] In the name of the law, surrender yourself!

[wrong genre there, Pearl. But at least she drew out her spear and spun it in a cool way, before leveling it at the criminal.

James gets a tiny glance though. Was that okay?]
misterprongs: (✳ padfoot.)

[personal profile] misterprongs 2015-10-04 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[James immediately offers a burst of applause and a laugh, because that was nearly convincing!

The shady criminal guy even looks somewhat leery of that spear.]


Brava!
stickupherforehead: <user name="accipiter"> (there are bound to be ramifications)

[personal profile] stickupherforehead 2015-10-05 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[the affirmation gets a grin out of her and then she's turning back to the criminal, looking a bit more confident.]

Surrender now, or prepare to -

[the shady criminal guy starts a speechifying, going on about freedom and liberty and how the oppressive police pigs are taking away their right to kill each other.

Pearl looks back at James again. Should she listen or get straight to attacking?]
misterprongs: (✳ and then i tipped him upside down.)

[ oh, pearl. James hops down to wander over, picking up a loose stick (which is a bit wand-ish), leveling it in front of him with a certain practical expertise that would be admired if he didn't look absolutely ridiculous. ]

Quiet!

[ a sharp bark. JAMES MEANS BUSINESS and is also speaking in the most ridiculously overblown posh british accent and is 100% channelling his inner lucius malfoy ]

The lady was speaking, you ungrateful cur! Silence when she speaks, or she'll remove your head! Or do you need a reminder in manners?

[ -- with the gentlest of nudges to pearl. go on, beat him up. gently. ]

[the criminal jumps to attention, back straight, shoulders back. Wha-? Why does he feel so...

Well, it doesn't really matter how he was about to feel. Pearl has suddenly landed right next to him, swept him right off his feet with a solid kick, and...is currently standing with one foot on his back and tying up his hands. Hey, at least she seems satisfied with the pretty bow she's adding on top of that knot.]


Well, that wasn't too bad.
