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!]

[Yeah, that's what he thought.]

Eh? But why would I need a bodyguard for a safer job like waiting tables?
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Not a single clue)

For walking home late at night after a shift?

So you think I should work all day serving tables in a cute maid outfit, and you'll stand around watching and then take me home.

Okay! Let's go find a sketchy bar to play cards in.
goldenglasses: (Aw... crap.)

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Alriiiiiiiiiiiight. [If she's really going to do this, he'd rather go along and be sure nothing goes too horribly wrong.] I just want to say right now I think this is a bad idea.

[Says the guy who does this all the time.]

You opinion is noted.

[And pointedly ignored, as he spins on his heel and starts towards an especially noisy section of town, where the best bars can be found.]

[Vash takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly in a long sigh. Hoping that maybe they'll be luckily enough to not run into trouble as he falls in step behind Kazuto.]

[Hey, you wrote your own funeral, buddy. Don't complain about it now.

It doesn't take long for him to find a suitable bar- a muggy, dimly-lit locale full of grizzled cowboys. They're drinking, smoking, and sure enough, there's a couple of card games going on. It's just about the least suitable place for a thin, pale waif of a girl to hang out.

Kirito marches right in, not even checking to see if Vash is following, and peers over one of the cowboy's shoulder, putting on his best innocent expression.]


Excuse me, gentlemen, what are you playing...?
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (The man with a plan)

Only a lot! No biggie

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2015-10-01 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Don't worry. Vash is following. It will be hard to miss him as just as the group started to grumble out their answer Orr poker (because what else is There? Old maid?) Vash busts through the door with a happy grin on his face.]

Oh boy! This looks like a great place to find some fun! Bar tender! A round of beer, please! [He pulls up a chair so there is still one for Kirito to sit down at as he lays a small wad of cash down on the table.] Deal me in! [Because what better way to check for signs of 'time to flee' then at the same table! That and maybe if he's bad at the look out thing Kirito will change their mind!]

[personal profile] huaaaaagh 2015-10-02 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Kirito sits down as well, giving Vash a wary side-eye. They must look like a ridiculous pair- the tall, brightly-coloured man and the petite "girl" dressed all in black. At least the money's gotten their attention, and the men seem genuinely into it now. Putting on his best timid face, he shuffles an inch or two closer to the nearest man, feigning clueless interest.]

Ohh, can you teach me?

[Rather than concerned, he's mostly curious about what Vash's presence will do to his usual tactics. He makes sure to watch him as much as the rest of the table, while the man grins and starts running through the rules.]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (This is my happy face! ^_^)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2015-10-02 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Vash sits and drinks the large glass the bartender hands him and looks over his cards. He tries to lean in and joke with the other guys around the tablet, but they just grumble and ignore him. As long as his money lasts at least. Which doesn't seem to be something to worry about at the moment. He won't win big, but he always bounces back when he starts to lose so he never seems to be running out of money.

For the most part Vash will be a loud, slightly obnoxious, dork at the table and stay out of Kirito's way at the moment.]

[personal profile] huaaaaagh 2015-10-03 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe this guy's not such a loser after all. He's enough of a distraction that the other players aren't paying full attention, but not so much that Kirito himself can't concentrate on what he's doing. He plays dumb for a while, feigning enthusiasm during every explanation, laughing off each clumsy loss, until finally, with a childish giggle, he builds a hand that's good for a finale and raises the stakes with all he's got. Intrigued and smirking, the men follow suit, until the pot is good and fat. Just as planned.

He leans over to the man beside him, showing his hand curiously.]


Hey, is this a good one?

[The man leans back with a splutter, and he offers a bright smile to the table as he sets down a straight flush.]

How did I do?
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Hey!!! Me likey!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2015-10-03 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Vash could sense what was coming if he had counted right; someone was very likely to have a flush or a straight. Perhaps both. He hadn't been paying enough attention to really know for sure or who as he was just trying to have fun winout losing the rest of his cash. So he folded his pair of kings just before the final round of betting.

So he grins as if he was expecting it when the cards are revealed.]
Haha! Wow! That's really lucky! Miss Lady Luck could you give me a kiss and share some of it!

[personal profile] huaaaaagh 2015-10-04 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, but if I did that, I'd lose my luck!

[Seriously, no kissing. With the other players still surprised, Kirito pulls in his winnings and glances out the window, feigning concern.]

Oh no, when did it get so late? I have to get home!

[In other words, BAIL BEFORE THEY GET MAD]

[Vash the Stampede. The most helpful of helpfulness. He just shrugs at getting shot down as he shuffles the deck again.] Oh fine. If I have to use my own crappy luck. [He starts dealing out the cards again. Leaving Kirito out of the deal.] Okay, guys, get your bets in!

[In other words. Vash is actually attempting to help now by distracting the group and secretly ready to trip anyone who tries to chase after Kirito.]
huaaaaagh: <user name=fontech> ([ggo] i bet camels taste weird)

[personal profile] huaaaaagh 2015-10-05 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Huh... that's unexpected. He blinks in surprise at Vash, then hastily takes advantage of the distraction, stuffing his outfit pockets with the winnings. He steps back, offering the table a cheery wave-and-smile combo, then dashes out the tavern door, turning the corner and getting out of sight immediately.

Thanks, buddy! You're not so horrible after all.]

[Vash plays a couple more hands then also leaves. Not making as much, but not leaving less than what he started with. He didn't really want to be in a seedy bar too much with a fresh bounty on his head. He may wander a bit with an eye out for his new friend, but not expecting to find her.]
huaaaaagh: <user name=fontech> ([ggo] she could create new recipes)

[personal profile] huaaaaagh 2015-10-06 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Kirito may be a bit of a cheat, and he'd accomplished his goal, but he's not a terrible person. He'd hung around outside the bar, tucked away in the shadows to keep out of view, but he hadn't left the vicinity of the bar.

Once Vash comes out, he steps away from the dark a bit, calling out quietly.]


No problems in there?
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Just smile and nod)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2015-10-06 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Vash is actually a bit surprised to see that Kirito waited for him. He thought he had laid the flirting on thick enough to scare most away. He grins and falls right into step.] Nope! All is fair in love and poker! You win some, you lose some! They're all a bit sore, but not out looking for blood to replace their lost cash.
huaaaaagh: ([ggo] moogle? like the moon or uh)

[personal profile] huaaaaagh 2015-10-07 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Definitely thick, but not scary, either. Kirito looks him up and down, and he's not injured, so hey, apparently it was fine. Now he can erase any semblance of guilt he might have been feeling. (It wasn't much, but you know.)]

Right, then. Here's your cut.

[He withdraws his hand from a pocket, holding out a folded bundle of bills. It's probably about fifteen percent of his total earnings- he's not that generous, and he never asked for help, but the guy did probably make a difference. He'd rather not walk away and give him nothing for the trouble.]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Hey!!! Me likey!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2015-10-07 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? [Vash takes the money and blinks. Completely not expecting a cut at all, not that he has any intention of giving it back as he laughs and pockets the bills. A cute girl, some fun poker, not getting ditched, and some extra cash. Not too bad a night, really.] Thanks! We should find another saloon to celebrate in.
