‘Coming right up,’ the bartender said and refilled Elias’ glass. Looking around, he could not see many patrons: one older Indian gentleman, enjoying his drink, and a wizened fellow, maybe an old prospector doing the same. They were having a light conversation about something. Other than them, the saloon was empty. In case of wanted posters, there was an old looking one for $2000 on a bearded guy called ‘Wild Jack Buffalo’. The bartender noticed his gaze, ‘I wouldn’t bother with him. That poster’s been hanging there for ages and nobody’s seen the guy in the same time. Maybe he slipped and died in the wilderness somewhere. Or he just moved on to richer people to rob.’
"That's a damn shame..." Elias grunts. "Any word on where he was last seen - and who mighta seen him?" The old man downs his drink. "Any other trouble makers in this town?"
Code: Seduction roll: DC 65 (Man of the Law) Roll = 61 + 10 (beautiful) + 15 (seductress) = 86 SUCCESS ‘Miss... what are you? Holy Jesus,’ Douglas could not believe his eyes, or his luck. His eyes were glued to Kate’s every move, ‘I don’t know if you’re an angel sent from heaven or a devil come up from hell.’ He loosened his tie, his breath becoming heavier as he watched Kate.
Molly blushed at the compliment, ‘Oh, I’m just a simple woman. You just haven’t met the real beauties in town yet.’ Despite her modesty, it was obvious she enjoyed the flattery. And her blush deepened as she noticed the young man’s gaze, ‘C-Crowded? Not these days, I’m afraid. I barely make ends meet with the accident at the mine and it closing down. We get few visitors. But I’m really glad you came.’ She looked confused for a second, before she beamed at him, ‘Golly, you want to help out? Nobody ever offered that before, you’re a darling, you are. Well, I could need some help washing the dishes and doing the laundry mayhaps. You’d get another few dollars discount, of course, if you did.’
The whore and bandit smiled warmly - for her the answer was simple. She put down her rifle on the table and stepped to cell, moving her hands over bars. She was sure the man's eyes were on her asscheeks. "Why don't you lock the door~" She said as she walked into the cell. "And show me around. I always wondered how it was inside the cells~"
‘Troublemakers? Here and there,’ the bartender shrugged, ‘It’s been real quiet ever since the mine closed down, some nasty accident I’ve heard, whole mineshaft collapsed or something. Nobody wants to rob a town where all the business has dried up anyway, right? But... ‘You’re one of them bounty hunters, aren’t you? There’s a little ranch out south over the creek, I heard they’ve had problems with horse thieves, though I don’t think there’s been a big bounty put out for them yet. That’s all that comes to mind right now.’
"Thanks for the tip." Elias nods, sipping at his drink. "I-uh... While I'm here, you wouldn't happen to have seen a girl 'round here, pretty young, kinda looks like me?"
“You should not underestimate yourself, Molly. I am sure there is no other beauty in town quite like you.” James smiled at the woman, then frowned when he heard about the mine. “Incident at the mine? You'll have to tell me more about that later. But for now let us make my stay official.” He took out $10 and handed them to the woman. “One week stay for now, after that... we shall see, depending on how things will go.” “Dishes and laundry?” James continued after Molly had taken the money. “Sure, that sounds fine. I have helped with that sort of thing when I was younger.” His gaze moved down to her chest again for a few long moments, his cock starting to grow hard in his pants, and he moved closer to the busty beauty. “I am sorry if I come off as too forward, Molly, but it has been a long and lonely trip here, and I am feeling rather hungry...” Part of him knew this was a bad idea, but it was easily overruled by the part of him that wanted some female company. He leaned in closer to whisper in her ear, trying to be as seductive as he could. “I'd love to have someone to eat and you are just so tempting, Molly... but only if it is alright with you – I would not force you to do something you do not want...” He finished and looked at her hopefully.
The sheriff rushed to the door of his office, quickly turning the key and locking them in. He followed Kate to the cell like a man led on a string, his eyes fixed to her curves, ‘I’m afraid it’s not very interesting in the cells, but... if you ask so nicely.’ He got the keys and unlocked the cell door, leaving the keys dangling from the keyhole. ‘Well, there’s the cot and there’s nothing much more in here but a bit of straw.’
‘A young woman looking like you?’ The bartender raised an eyebrow, ‘No offence, good man, but I don’t rightly think a young lass could resemble you. You’re looking for a relative? There’s not that many young ladies around town. Maybe we can narrow it down, what was your hair colour before they went all white?’
Molly trembled and back up to the wall, as James got up close and personal, her breath quickening. Code: Seduction roll: DC 30 (lonely inn owner) Roll = 17 + 15 (seduction) = 32 Minor SUCCESS ‘Please, James, I just met you ten minutes ago,’ Molly protested weakly, ‘It’s not that I don’t like you... you’re very handsome and kind. Perhaps you can wait to eat me for dinner?’ Her cheeks went beet-red at her own corny line. But James could see that her nipples were tenting her flimsy corset, ‘Oh God, what am I saying?’
'Sooo…. Easy…' Kate thought. She smiled as she looked around the cell, her eyes stopping on the keys. 'He even left the keys in the door...' She could only chuckle pleasantly at how easily the man was controlled. For a moment she considered locking the man inside the cell... but it would bring the heat on her. No, keeping the man alive and under her thumb, was a better option. Part of her was disappointed - she hoped for a man who would push her against a wall and rock her world. But that itch aside, it was a good situation for her. "Nothing interesting in here?" She moved her gloved hand over her cleavage, shivering at the feel of leather. "Shall we make it more interesting?" She asked as she traced her hands over her sides. "I would have thought, that you would have done some of your female prisoners here~" She said as she walked up to him with a sway of her hips. She put a finger on his chest, and slowly traced her finger in circles. She would wrap him around her finger and make him bark at her command.
“Dinner?” James paused for a moment as he looked the inn owner over. “You know what, Molly? Dinner with you sounds lovely. Definitely worth the wait. Sure, I'll have dinner with you!” He agreed, intentionally "misunderstanding" Molly's words. “I'll do my best to contain myself until our date tonight.” He planted a brief kiss on the woman's lips before reluctantly pulling away. “Well, it has been a pleasure to meet you, Molly, but you likely need to get back to work and I need to get settled in, so... I guess I will see you later...” He gave her a hopeful look, not stopping her from leaving if she wanted to.
‘No offense taken.” Elias runs a hand across his jawline. "I do suppose I'm rather extremely masculine in my features, aren't I?" He chuckles, the self compliment entirely without a scrap of irony. "Actually, it was always white. Some mild form of albinism, I guess." He shrugs. "If my girl didn't inherit that trait, well, she probably looks like her mother. Light brown hair, looks almost blonde in the right light. And she was a real beauty, too - if she inherited her mother's looks, then she's probably one of the most attractive women in town."
‘I beg your pardon, I’m an upstanding man, I’d never do such a thing to a prisoner,’ the sheriff looked angry for a moment. Code: Seduction break roll: DC 75 (successful seduction) Roll = 19 + 10 (man of the law) + 15 (insulted) = 44 FAILURE ‘But, I’ll let it slide for a special beauty like you,’ he said lecherously, before he turned her around and pushed her up to the bars of the cell, stealing a kiss from Kate as his white moustache brushed her cheek and nose.
Molly nearly looked disappointed as the kiss ended so soon, blushing profusely, ‘Uh, I’ll get back to the kitchen then and fix you a meal, James, don’t be stranger now, alright?’ She slipped out from under him but then turned around, ‘Oh, before I forget, here’s the key to the room.’ She handed him an iron key, ‘Don’t go losing it, I only have two. I’ll see you later, James.’ She smiled shyly and then headed back down the stairs, with what James noticed was a little spring in her step. Left alone, James could get settled in his room for the week.
‘Hmm, no, no girls with ashen white I’m afraid, that’d be too easy, wouldn’t it? There’s a blonde girl, though, living down at that ranch I told you about, she’s only been here for a year or there abouts and she’s not the old rancher’s daughter or niece far as I know. Leona’s her name, pretty young lass,’ the bartender told Elias, ‘She’s a real prodigy with the horses I’m hearing.’
"Hmm, Leona..." Elias is quiet for a moment, before finishing his drink and paying for it, placing an extra dollar on the table as he does. "Thanks, friend." Tipping his hat, Elias heads out, walking out toward the ranch.
“Thank you, Molly, I'll be sure not to lose it.” James promised as he took the key. “I'll see you later.” He watched the innkeeper leave – once more checking out her butt as she walked away – then closed the door and turned his attention to his new room. Nice view. James thought as he looked through the window at the mountains for a few long moments. Moving on, he put his spare clothes in the empty cabinet, and his lasso and rations in the trunk... and then he remembered his horse. Shit, I was so distracted by Molly I forgot about my horse! I better go to the stables and ask about leaving it there. With a sigh he headed out, making sure to lock the door and to keep the key safe.
"Whatever the case, you'll still need physical help to kill it. It shouldn't matter what's done with the body afterwards to you."
