BdrLineAzn:
*BdrLine shakes his head and drinks his Frost Fire*
"wouldn't that make me your nephew in law or something along the line."
*To Zill*
"Speaking of you, do you know why there are new galleons and trade ships here?"
*BdrLine then turns to Honeybadger*
"I want to hear it, it could be interesting."
*Back up stairs, Ny-Lee hands Roland his water*
"Here you go my dear. So since I am watching you until your leg heals, you want to do anything."
Honeybadger:
*Honeybadger turns to Bdr grinning, Sarah rolls her eyes and goes back to her drink*
Honeybadger: "Well Bdr, it all started with me and Jibbs walking down a dark, seedy alleyway...*
*Honeybadger recaps the tale from start (OOC: So go read it, its ok I'll wait) and slows down when he said "plan B"*
Honeybadger: "So there I was, Jibbs and the waiter were shot and on the ground, and I had three men with guns trained on me, including myself..."
Sarah: "And I was getting manhandled by some goon..."
Honeybadger:
*Honeybadger picks up from last night*
-- Poker Room Last Night --
*As soon as Honeybadger had mentioned plan B, he quickly spun around and shot the goon closest to the limp body of Jibbs nearby the wall and kicked his chair into the stomache of the henchman directly behind him, disarmed him, and dived to the ground as the man across the room holding Sarah started firing and hit the man who had been hit in the stomache by accident*
*Honeybadger bounced in the floor next to Jibbs*
Honeybadger: "NOW!"
*Riggs reached for his second pistol in the confusion of the gunfire, just as Sarah grabbed the henchmans arm, dropped to the ground, and pulled him over her. He didn't have time to react before the now smiling Jibbs detonates the bomb he had hid under the table that he had set last night*
* Riggs didn't even have his entire revolver out of his holster before the bomb went off under him sending him flying a short distance to the wall, hitting him hard and knocking the wind out of him*
*Once some of the smoke had cleared, Sarah shrugs off the now dead goon onto the ground, he took most of the blast force, the table must have jumped to the ceiling because everything that was once on it was now on the ground *
*Jibbs slipped on a poker chip as he stood up and unbuttoned his shirt revealing a heavy flak jacket*
Jibbs: "If he shot me in the face, it would have been your ass."
*As Honeybadger gets up from the floor, he laughs at Jibbs statement, then quickly goes to the other side of the room to help Sarah up from the floor*
Honeybadger: "Think they'll still let you work here after this?"
Sarah: *Smiles* "Keep talking."
*Honeybadger helps Sarah up and goes the the wall that Riggs had been blown onto*
*Riggs coughed*
Riggs: "Heh, I had to push my luck."
Honeybadger: "There was never luck if the outcome was set in stone."
*Sarah hands Honeybadger his modified Colt .45 revolver and he pulled the pin back and took aim at Riggs who was bleeding from his bottom lip, and while with bomb powder*
Honeybadger: "I always win my friend."
*Honeybadger aimed for Rigg's head, and pulled the trigger*
*Honeybadger holsters his pistol and turns to Jibbs*
Honeybadger: "Ready to head out?"
*Jibbs nods and smiles*
*The two cover the head of Riggs with a burlap sack, and Jibbs carries his body out of the room into the confused and startled crowd of rich folks I the main room*
Honeybadger: *Trying to get around the crowd, Jibbs and Sarah followed* "Pardon me, excuse me. Sorry about the coat, its just dust it will come out."
*Honeybadger stops in his tracks and turns left to the bartender who recoils at the sight of him, Honeybadger reaches around the bar and grabs an unlabeled bottle, lays some gold coins on the table and tips his hat to the startled bartender, he then leaves the club*
*On the way back*
Jibbs: "So where do we drop this guy off? I think people are starting to stare"
*Honeybadger stops checking his pocket watch and looks at Jibbs with a smile*
Honeybadger: "The sheriffs office."
*Jibbs looks confused*
Jibbs: "That wasn't part of the plan, and we just killed someone, why would we take him to the sheriffs office?"
*Sarah looks back and laughs*
Sarah: *To Honeybadger* "You didn't tell him yet?"
*Honeybadger shrugs*
Honeybadger: "I thought he knew when Riggs mentioned 'Trinity'."
*Jibbs is now very confused*
Jibbs: "Wait, who's Trinity?"
Honeybadger: "A bounty hunter, but I prefer 'El Trinitario'."
*Honeybadger opens the door halfway before interrupted*
Jibbs: "But... That's you..."
*Honeybadger turns around and lowers his head*
Honeybadger: *While bobbing head once* "Yeah."
*They enter the sheriffs office and place the body on the Sheriffs desk, Honeybadger then takes the bounty form that shows Riggs face*
*It reads, Austin Riggs, wanted for murder, extortion, and forgery, 10,000 G. The sheriff recoils by that fact that this group of three managed to bag a most wanted*
*The sheriff took the bounty money out of the safe and paid Honeybadger the gold, everyone waved and left smiling*
Honeybadger: "Alright, once we get to the saloon, we'll split the money Jibbs"
*Jibbs nods*
Sarah: "Hey! What about me!?"
Honeybadger: "I owe you a drink. We also need to worry about staying the night somewhere..."
-- Saloon, In the present --
*Honeybadger scratches his head under his hat*
Honeybadger: "That should be it, I don't think I left anything out..."
*He grabs his drink and sips it.*
Yiski:
*Ny-Lee came back with Roland's water and handed it to him.*
"No, I do not think there's much to do."
*He immediately chugs his water down and wipes his mouth.*
"Ah, nothing more refreshing than ice-cold water."
*Ny-Lee chuckles and takes a few drinks of her Frost Fire and sits on Roland's lap, facing him.*
"Are you sure about that love?"
*Roland tilts his head and looks off into the distance. Ny-Lee lightly punches Roland on the arm for teasing her.*
"As much as I would love to do what you are thinking, I believe my ankle might prevent a few... maneuvers."
*Ny-Lee chuckles again and pushes Roland down on the bed.*
"How about you let me worry about that love."
RearAdmiralZill:
Zill is just minding his own, overhearing Honeybadger's long winded story.
"You're talking some nonsense to my pal Bdr here. I heard you got locked up last night and the guys let you go cause you were the lesser problem. Riggs was vermin and deserves a flak barrage."
He takes a swig of his drink and addresses BdrLine.
"The Galleons are a gift from the Empire, and new trade rights have been granted as well. If nothing else, we did some good for the City.
Upon finishing his drink, he decides to find out what happened to Jun'ko. As he enters the room he sees her curled up in a ball on the bed.
She must of gotten it worse than me. If shes not better by tomorrow then its off to Oliver.
He kisses her and goes back down for another No.3.
