[[There's a mumble that can be heard from Rufus' bed, and a creak or two as he rolls over.

And then a 'thud' as he hits the floor by rolling out of bed.]]

[[He picks himself up and examines his surroundings. Well, this certainly wasn't the back of his reliable automobile, no siree.]]

Now... just where'n th'heck am I?

Kidnapped? Yep. Sorry t' say it, but welcome t' Mayfield.

[westerned]

[[OH HEY a familiar accent]]

Well, it's awful nice t'hear a voice that sounds like't came from home.

[blu_hardhat]

Same t' you, partner.

You got th' basic rundown'a this here place yet?

[westerned]

Indeed I did.

S'lovely place, save for th'random bad stuff that happens. Or so I've been told.

[blu_hardhat]

Alrighty then, saves th' trouble.

It really ain't, trust me. When it starts takin' out eyes 'n cuttin' off limbs again, you'll see what Ah mean.

[westerned]

...Takin' out eyes an' cuttin' off limbs? Sounds awful.

[blu_hardhat]

Well, that's Mayfield for ya. It does all sorts'a nasty things. [[Hmph.]] Like dronin'--that's pretty bad t' boot.

[westerned]

Dronin'? Why, didja lose a friend of yours?

[blu_hardhat]

...yeah, y'could say that. [[Mmmmph. This is not a happy topic.]]

[westerned]

...awful sorry for your loss.

[[SORRY, NEW FRIEND. THAT'S GOTTA SUCK.]]

[blu_hardhat]

At least he's back home now. 'S better t' think that rather'n be thinkin' Mayfield got 'im.

[[IT'S OKAY COWBOY BUDDY HE'LL QUIT MOPING EVENTUALLY.]]

[westerned]

Yeah, that's one way a'lookin' at it. Jus' gotta stick with th'positives, don'cha?

[blu_hardhat]

It can get a bit hard here, but yeah.

[[Quick topic change is GO.]] Don' think Ah caught your name, son?

[westerned]

[blu_hardhat]

Jus' call me Engie.
