Welcome to Oldale town

[Writer]

As Anna watched the stranger go, her eyes narrowed and she said softly, "Strike one."

[jokemaster]

Tommy approached Anna.

 

"I take it you don't like him?"

[Writer]

Anna kept staring at the door. Finally, she turned to Tommy. "You know what happened to the only guy in Oldale who did that to me." She'd broken all the fingers on both of his hands and had done it so quickly there had been nothing he could do about it.

[jokemaster]

"What did he want?"

[Curt-Man]

"He'd better watch his fingers." Jack said as he joined Anna and Tommy.

[Writer]

"Got that right," Anna told Jack. Then, in answer to Tommy's question, she said, "He wanted to find Brutus Eisenhower and then said he wanted somebody who'd be willing to go running around town for him... didn't get any more specific than that. Didn't need to... I already don't like him..."

[Curt-Man]

"Newcomers don't gain favour too fast and especially when they do things like that." Jack commented. "I wonder what he wants with old Brut."

[Writer]

"Well he's not too likely to find the old man," Anna smirked. "You remember what happened to the last guy that tried to find him?"

 

The last newcomer, Anna had been told, had run all over the town looking for 'old Brut'. But people who lived there weren't too happy about that and they played tricks on the stranger. It wasn't long before the stranger swore he was going crazy and got away from Oldale as quickly as he could.

[jokemaster]

"He's gonna want a gun..." Said Tommy. He was also the owner of the only gun store in town. He had inherited it from his dad.

[Black Knight of Keno]

Thomas looked around before crossing the street and walking over to the nearest store. he would need to do some research of his own about Brutus if he wanted something to be done

[Writer]

Anna nodded wordlessly and shrugged. "I should get back to work. Don't have too much fun, boys."

[jokemaster]

"Yeah. Better go open up the store then."

 

Tommy headed to his store.

[Writer]

Anna shrugged and called after him, "See you around, Tommy."

[jokemaster]

Tommy waved at Anna and opened up his store. He unlocked the door, and made sure the revolver he had hidden was loaded. He waited, knowing that today he'd have at least one customer.

[Curt-Man]

"I think I'll visit an Old friend." Jack said, he always said this, and then left, no one knew who he was talking to or where he was going, but he'd never tell. He got on his horse and rode off. Once he got to an open field with a small pond in the middle of it, he let out a peculiar whistle. then a white horse came out, bearing a native indian as its rider.

"How, Jack Ironheart."

"How ya doing Red?"

"Busy."

"Oh yeah? with what?" Red short for little Redtail was never busy.

"Two men, one fat, one tall, trying to find me, I must lead them away from the sacred place."

"I could kill 'em for ya."

"No, no where near the sacred place msut thier be murder or death."

"Alright, I'll leave you to it then, see ya around Red." with that Red rode off and it almost seemed as if he vanished.

"Man, how does he do that?" Jack said to himself as he sat by the pond, throwing rocks in.

[Black Knight of Keno]

Thomas had no luck with the folk around townwhen he asked about Brutus, so he decided he would now get the rifle before the townsfolk started to get hostile at him. He had heard of the last man that was sent about asking for Eisenhower, but didn't really care. He would just have to wait and see if Eisenhower might come around into the town soon. The man would just have to keep an eye open at all times.

He walked into the gun shop and the boots gave a clonk-click sound as he stepped forwards on the wooden floor. Thomas' hands were on his belt as he walked to the rifles and looked at them silently

[jokemaster]

"Looking for anything?" Asked Tommy from behind the counter.

[Curt-Man]

Jack looked up at his horse.

"Gettin' antsy eh? heh, alright lets go for a ride." Jack said, then got up and mounted his horse and rode off, as fast as he could.

[Black Knight of Keno]

Thomas ignored Tommy and continued to look about. Finally he stopped by a new Winchester, painted silver and the wooden parts made of black maple. He grinned and picked it from the rackand held it on an aiming stance. "How much is this?" he asked while 'loading' it without bullets inside. He smirked and pushed the trigger that let out a click. "And is the aim right"

[jokemaster]

"The aim's right, I check them out every week. It'll cost ya 100 alone, or 110 with a box of bullets."

[Black Knight of Keno]

"You sell a magnificent rifle for too cheap" he said and brought it over to the counter, taking a bag from his belt and starting to count slowly the inside. "There's about 200 worth of gold inside. Take 'em and gimme two boxes of bullets. Any info about Brutus Eisenhower would help too, or do you need another bag for that?"

[jokemaster]

"It'll cost you another bag of gold." Said Tommy. He'd been expecting that, and was partially the reason he let the rifle go for cheap.

[Curt-Man]

Jack now was riding slowly, after his joy ride.

"Alright boy, lets get back to town." He trotted back to town.

[Black Knight of Keno]

Thomas grinned and drew his other pistol, pointing it at the man with the gun near his pelvis area. "Well, I'll put it this way. If you don't tell me about him, you won't be bothering yourself with aiming the weapons anymore" he said and pointed the barrel towards his other eye while his other hand placed the Winchester leaning onto the counter. "I'm starting to get sick of all you townsfolk and your lies. Give me something useful"

[jokemaster]

Thomas suddenly felt the cold barrell of a gun pressed against the back of his neck.

 

"Now, you wouldn't be threatening my supplier there, would you?" Growled the owner of the gun. Tommy calmly stared at Thomas, reaching for his own gun below the counter.
