[A familiar cowboy hat comes into view on this feed, followed by a familiar figure, that of the rugged Jake Marshall with a stupidly broad grin on his face; even at the angle he's propped the NV up, with his feet on his table, it's obvious he's happy about something.] You folks wanna know somethin'? [He tips his hat up with two fingers, swirling

[He almost simply ignored this post, but then he decided to respond anyway. Why? Because he was missing his friends, and this guy reminded him of Chibodee so much it was almost scary.]

No, sorry. But if you find some place that's cheep, let me know.

But uh...what's a "cowpoke."

[kingofheart4711]

I understood what you meant, but I've never heard someone talk like that.

[cactusnwhiskey]

Guess it makes more sense to me 'cause I watched westerns as a kid.

[kingofheart4711]

Heh, guess so.

[cactusnwhiskey]

So you're tough enough to stay out at night, huh?

[kingofheart4711]

I'm the King of Hearts and Gundam of Gundams.

[Then he blinks and his smile gets a little less cocky as he quickly adds:] That means I'm the world champion of martial arts back home. [He really needs to stop forgetting that no one else knows what those titles mean.]

[cactusnwhiskey]

So you're one of them martial arts experts, hm? [He gives Domon a once over.] Sure look like you could take on just 'bout anybody.

[kingofheart4711]

Heh, thanks. You don't look like a pushover either.

[cactusnwhiskey]

Cowboys are supposed to be rugged an' all, but I reckon I ain't what I used to be. Prob'ly get knocked to the floor with a good'un 'cross my cheek.

[kingofheart4711]

[Something happened to this guy, he can tell, but he's not going to stick his nose into other people's business.]

Anyone can make themselves strong if they have enough willpower. Not everyone can be a fighter but anyone can be strong. If they have the will to be.

[cactusnwhiskey]

True. Though they deemed me strong enough already to be part of the law 'round this here town. [A little shrug.] Guess that's good enough fer me.

[kingofheart4711]

I wouldn't trust the "law" to measure your strength by. [He only sounds a little bitter. Considering what every police force he's had to deal with ever has been like.]

[cactusnwhiskey]

Well I wouldn't exactly trust them either, but they seem to have their heads on straight 'round here... most of 'em do, anyway.

[kingofheart4711]

Well, I'd be worried if you tried to convince me that they were all perfect.

[cactusnwhiskey]

Hell naw, nobody's perfect, and anybody that claims otherwise is a damn fool. [Good thing Franziska is not in earshot. :|a]

[kingofheart4711]

As long they still "have their heads on straight" when the law is wrong. [There's that bitterness again.]
