The sun rises and the forest is very quiet. No sign of the guards. Maybe Jakky and Jessica found out a way to distract them or maybe she just ate them all... you'll never know. That's good news so try not to dwell on it.

If you keep your eyes on the skyline you may notice a pack of crows flying past. When you travel the flora and fauna around you change like they should, but those damn birds are just here to stay apparently. Someone really paranoid might think they're following you, haha!

[good call]

Okay, Trigger. No sudden moves and we're gonna be best friends. Hi ho-

[don't judge him he talks to things when he's nervous. tilts forward to grab the horn of the saddle when it kicks up into a trot and off they go]

[ some time later ]

Did you get an exact location?

[sawedoff]

The town name.

[slows horse to a stop as the road leads into said town. there's a creaky old sign next to them that reads SUMMERHILL, but its so worn down its hard to read and only one nail is keeping it up, so it kind of hangs sadly]

[the horses don't seem to like the place, it's all very spooky western ghost town. quiet breeze, door hinges creaking, all its missing is a tumbleweed]

[makes a face across at both of them before he starts whistling the theme from for a few dollars more]

[dices]

[ ...

why is he surprised that there's a western looking ghost town in this place? no idea. but he is. ]

Really...

[strangename]

[ pulls out the emf recorder ]

[sawedoff]

[throws a glance down at it to check the readings himself but it's being quiet. not a literal ghost town then.]

[nick's horse restlessly moves to the side and knocks over a little steel cage that snaps shut on contact, spooking it into a rear which makes both the other horses flip out]

[squawks and does not gracefully sit it. yeah he landed on the ground.]

[dices]

Wow! He--Hey! Whoa!

[ trying to control his worse with as much success as you would guess. he grabs the reigns harder, tries to pull him to a steadiness but just ends up annoying him more

squawksx2 man down man down ]

[ joins the falling on ass brigade ]

Ow--

[ snow white of the animal kingdom he is not. and this commotion has probably just done the complete opposite of giving them a stealthy entrance. ]

[sawedoff]

[groans and sits up on an elbow, watching his horse wander off to the side calmly to find some grass to eat now that its apparently satisfied with getting his fat ass off its back]

Son of a bitch.

[wipes dust off his knees and glances over at whatever startled the horse. just an animal trap.]

Let's just hope Van Cleef's going deaf in his old age.

[dices]

Damn.

[ pushes himself off the floor and pats the dust off as much as he can ]

Yeah. [ looks around and gets up to his feet, hands on hips as he gives this ghost town a Look ] If you're looking for trouble I'll accommodate you, huh?

[sawedoff]

[hauls himself to his feet and offers a hand to the sundance kid down there before glancing to nick with a mouthshrug]

Strangest trio ever to track a killer?

[yeah he's getting a kick out of this. he shouldn't. it's serious. they're here to stick a knife in rumpel not play cowboys but it's His Thing he has a fetish.]

[dices]

Are you enjoying this?

[ this looks so deserted though... ]

You sure you have it right?
