When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West

[geonomy]

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!]

[There's an explosion of dust at the first thug crashes to the ground. The two exchange startled glances, though it isn't until the naked thief scrambles to his feet and begins to retreat down the alley, cursing, that the second loosens his grip on Felix's throat.

It's enough for him to twist himself free and encourage the second man to follow by calling fire to his fingertips]

I would listen to him if I were you...

[The last bit of hesitation is wiped away at that, and he turns on one booted heel to follow his unfortunate friend.

Felix lets the magic extinguish the moment they're out of sight, and he leans back against the alley wall]

[Crowley's kind of glad they chose to run. All in all, that was a very small show of power. He doesn't like doing more. Mortals are...tender and prone to squishing. Still, all worked out well.

He pulls out a cigarette, lighting it with a thought and taking a long drag. ]

Not horrifically traumatised, are you?

[lord_wizard]

[Physical confrontation is easy, but it's not as easy to fight something so out of the ordinary as that. It's terribly easy to prey on that fear of the unknown, as unfortunate as that is.

Right now, Felix has no issue with Crowley's tactics.

He stares at his hands somewhat numbly, examining the faint cuts dealt by the edges of his rings. If he had been any later...]

I've had worse. [There's no need to say "believe it or not"]

I can't say the same for them.

[onlyanapple]

Yeah, well.

[He takes another drag of his cigarette, puffing out a lazy smoke ring. If it seems he's trying to make himself seem utterly unshaken by the event, it's because he is. It was a close one, if he hadn't have been there. Well. ]

They got what was coming to them.

[lord_wizard]

You saved me the trouble...

[It's half a lie. He isn't certain if he would have let them take away something so valuable to him, or if he would have done something to them and then had to deal with the guilt afterwards]

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley flashes him a smirk. Playing it calm and easy. ]

You can thank me later.

[lord_wizard]

[It says something that his response to that isn't nearly as enthusiastic as it would be most of the time. All Crowley gets is a wan smile.]

I'll be sure to. Hopefully this won't end in an angry mob later.

[onlyanapple]

[The demon gives an idle, dismissive hand wave. ]

I doubt it. Angry mobs really aren't what they used to be.

[lord_wizard]

You're not disappointed, are you?

[Probably not, but it's been established that Crowley has bizarre priorities at times]

[onlyanapple]

[It's always something of a dice roll when it comes to Crowley, this much is true.]

Nah. Never a big fan of mobs. All that stoning and burning at the stake. [He pulls a face. ] Too unseemly.
