3; old habits [video/backdated to the 24th]
[When the feed cuts on, the viewer may see John sitting away from his guide, cigarette in mouth, looking down at his trusty lasso being held in gloved hands. This is no accidental video, though; when he speaks, he's clearly directing it to his guide, though he's obviously focused on knotting the rope in the appropriate manner.]
Well, hell if that weren't somethin'. Bounty huntin' ain't exactly foreign territory to me; they're all about the same in the sense that they see you wavin' a lasso around and turn tail in the other direction. Wasn't much different that time, except I'm sure not used to stumblin' around in that... 'space suit'.
[Apparently done with his task, he raises the loop-end of the lasso above his head and twirls it somewhat lackadaisically over his head, as if about to round something up off-screen. The cowboy is obviously a little bored now that all the excitement is over and done with.]
Guess I can't complain. Got paid for it and didn't get blown up. Barely. But I'm still grateful for not dyin' a second time.
[And he tosses his lasso at the screen. There's a short clattering noise before the feed switches off.]
