Oh, this is stupid--

[After a few hurried, confused conversations, Jack slips out of his wagon and glances around. His isn't the only wagon there; there's quite a few. Raising an eyebrow, he glances behind him-- and then around, peering tentatively into the wagon next to his ( Read more... )

[Luna steps out from around the side of the wagon and smiles serenely at this young man.]

Hello.

[action] cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 04:27:51 UTC

[He glances back and raises an eyebrow. At least she's not blue, he thinks vaguely, and nods.]

Hi.

[A beat. He sticks out his hand.]

Name's Kelly, Jack Kelly.

[She moves forward and puts a thin stick, her wand, behind her ear before taking his hand and giving it a shake.]

Luna Lovegood. This is a funny situation, isn't it? I wasn't here a few moments ago.

[action] cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 04:38:58 UTC

[He raises an eyebrow at that, but shakes her hand.]

Yeah, me either. What's with the stick?

[He nods toward the wand.]

[Darcy is just sulking against one of the wagons a little ways down the line. She looks up at him, but still replies through the bracelet instead of yelling.]

But that's just making it worse.

Voice/Action cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 04:34:04 UTC

[He glances around, trying to find the source of the voice even as he replies.]

What, havin' information? Then stay in your wagon.

Voice/Action deusextaserina November 4 2011, 04:41:46 UTC

With no AC? Please.

[She gives a little wave from her seat on the dirt.]

Voice/Action cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 04:44:57 UTC

AC?

[He approaches, one hand shoved in his pocket, the other held to his mouth rather awkwardly. As he approaches, the age of his clothes-- 1800's style, with overalls and a worn shirt-- becomes more and more apparent.]

[The interior of the wagon beside his is dim compared to the bright Missouri sun overhead. Inside, amongst the shadows, is a teenaged girl with bright red hair dressed like a princess from a fairy story. She is, peering at the device on her wrist as if she expects it to spring to life any moment. Every so often it erupts into chatter. It distracts her from looking up and realizing she has company.

She mumbles to herself: ]

-gods above...

[He glances beside him and gives her half a friendly smile.]

Yeah, that's kinda what I said too.

[Jack is scruffy at the best of times, but he looks absolutely poor next to Sansa. Carefully he notes her dress, the way her hair is done, and files that away.]

Hiya, kid. Got a name?

( action ) practiced November 4 2011, 04:56:13 UTC

[ Sansa startles and quickly gathers herself to her knees, uncertain of how to properly stand in something like the back of a wagon. For a moment she resembles a frightened animal, all wide eyes and half-opened mouth. Then she remembers her lessons and straightens, trying to find the poise befitting a young lady of high birth.

It is only half successful, in the end. She's frightened and disoriented and isn't sure she likes it here at all. ]

I- I am not a child, I assure you. [ She falters, then recovers again. ] And you should not address me so.

[He grins and approaches, holding out a hand.]

I wouldn't if I knew your name. Need help?

Am I supposed to 8e seeing anything of note?

permavoice! cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 04:55:51 UTC

That we're in Missouri, for one, and in wagons, for two.

cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 05:11:12 UTC

So this is normal for you.

What are you doing?

[Sirius is more unnerved than he's letting on--but to cover that, he's leaning against the side of the wagon from which Jack climbed out. And he's smoking, very relaxed and casual, thanks.

He nods at Jack's wrist.]

With that, I mean.

cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 04:58:58 UTC

[His hands go to his pockets as he sees Sirius smoking-- and oh, good, he still has his things. That's vaguely comforting, at least, and Jack tugs out a cigarette as he speaks.]

You can talk to people with em, apparently. Got a light?

atrumcanis November 4 2011, 05:04:45 UTC

What, with your watch? Pull the other one.

[He glances down at his cigarette and sucks at it to buy himself a bit more time, shifting his gaze over to his pocket for half a second. His wand is the best way to get a light, but he ought not to go for that straightaway.

So instead he reaches for Jack's cigarette, expectantly.]

Give it here.

cowboy_newsie November 4 2011, 05:06:28 UTC

[A raised eyebrow, but Jack hands it over.]

Betcha you got one too, you know, check your wrist.
