This particular RP goes back to the old west, where it seems Sheriff Lynx and Deputy Dave are in charge of keeping the peace. Flirtations with the owner of the Nine Lives saloon and one of its workers leave the boys with free booze and stew. When the Deputy gets enough courage to ask Josaphine if he could court her, a masked stranger comes into town, lookin’ for the Sheriff. Miss Tasha warns the Sheriff who goes to have a chat with this fella, only to end out on the streets, but not for the typical shootout.

<Tasha_Forge> ::goes over to Josaphine, staying quiet:: He said he sends his best. And take the Sheriffs drinks from my pay. I got him covered for the night, ma’am. ::OMG! Actually respectin’ Josie! Its the end of the world!::
<Sheriff_Hans> ::nudges Dave in the ribs with an elbow, chuckles:: Vell now… vonder if those ladies are being so nice because we’re lawmen, or because we’re handsome.

<Sheriff_Hans> ::LOL! Dave XD Hans laughs and claps a hand on Dave’s back good naturedly:: I am? Vell I do not seem to be holding up a mirror… ::smirks::
<Tasha_Forge> ::blushes, looking over there at her:: Don’t you tell him, Josaphine. Please. I don’t need him a ridin’ my tail over that. I already get it enough over workin’ for you.
<Sheriff_Hans> <Josie> And now what is wrong with workin’ for me that he needs to be houndin’ you? ::hand on hip::

<Sheriff_Hans> <Josie> Well I’d say that the dang blanged SHERIFF was the best catch around. Honestly. That Joseph has anything to say, let him come to me.

<Sheriff_Hans> ::noting Tasha comin’ over and all. wondering who this guy is looking for::
<Tasha_Forge> ::willa go over to Hans, smiling at him and pretending that she’s seeing to a good customer, which she is! keeping between FF and Hans still:: Sheriff, tha tom at the bar has a picture of you and askin’ for ya. I told ‘im I didn’t know ya. Said he wants to see yer “treated right.” I don’t rightly like how he looks and is actin’ either. Prolly best you make yourself scarce.
<DeputyDave> ::blushing moreso as she looks at him… swishing his tail and rubbing his neck:: Well I was a wondering… Forgive me if this is forward, like I said, I ain’t no good at this… could I start ta court you?

<Sheriff_Hans> ((over^ not behind))
<Sheriff_Hans> Not unless this masked tom starts anything. ::smiles at her, tips his hat in polite gesture, then moseys over towards FF::
<DeputyDave> <FF> ::the sound of someone standing from their chair causes the fellow’s hands to lower slowly to his gun on the side away from the sound, just incase::
<DeputyDave> ::blinks and beams greatly but trys to keep it together:: Really? Ya mean that Miss Josaphine?
<Tasha_Forge> ::nods, letting him step past then hurries on to go around the bar and help other customers, though keeping an eye on the situation. hopes Hans is gonna be okay. Doesn’t wanna see him hurt::
<Sheriff_Hans> ::smiles calmly at FF:: Evening to you, sir. ::stands a foot from him, hands at his sides, but not going for his guns::
<Sheriff_Hans> <Josie> ::flicks her fan closed again:: I never say anythin’ I don’t mean, Deputy. ::smiling sweetly at him as she walks over to where he’s standing:: You oughtta know that as much as you’ve come to my saloon.

<Sheriff_Hans> <Josie> ::being a woman and having mostly women employed, gotta keep protection around from toms who think we’re weak XD::
<Sheriff_Hans> Gentlemen do not rob innocent kats along the trail last I checked.
<Sheriff_Hans> ((<Tasha>::whips pistol out and shoots FF:: <Hans> AW c’mon, miss Forge! You keep shootin’ ‘em first, they’ll make YOU the Sheriff! ::throws hat down:: <Tasha> ^___^))
<DeputyDave> ::nods:: That’d be might fine, Miss Josaphine… I’m off duty tanight as it happens. A few more peaceful hours and I’ll be back in here and wait for ya

<Sheriff_Hans> ::was waiting for that. barely dodges the bullet, pulling out his own gun as well to aim at him:: Listen here now. You vant to deal vith me, deal vith me outside out of harms vay.
<DeputyDave> ::leans down to kiss it and blinks sbapping round at the gun shots:: What the-?! ::turns to run back out into the bar, going for his gun::
<Sheriff_Hans> <Josie> ::gasps hearing a shot fired:: What’s goin’ on out there? ::starts to head past Dave::
<Sheriff_Hans> <Josie>::or after Dave that is::
<Tasha_Forge> ::yelps and ducks behind the bar at the gunshot! grabbing for one of the rifles and stands up aiming at FF:: I’d suggest ya just see yerself on out of town actually.
<DeputyDave> <FF> ::frowning and seeing as he is looking down the gun barrel, can’t really say no… standing:: The Sheriff and I are talkin’ lad, sray outta it… ::starts to move outside:: I figure taking it outside will save the floor gettin’ blood stained

<Sheriff_Hans> ::goes outside after FF, keeping gun trained:: Mein fists do better than mein guns… and I’m pretty good vith mein guns.
<Sheriff_Hans> <Josaphine> ::looks to Dave:: Deputy… perhaps you can go out and make sure this bandit fights fair…
<DeputyDave> <FF> ::sick grin spreads across his face, throwing down his guns:: Me too… And as it’s unsportin’ ta shoot an unarmed man, what say we get this done right? ::takes off his hat and lets down long white hair::
