George and his passengers arrived about a minute later. George propped up Jean Louise and Dani together under Mythic's bedroll, and put the blanket that had been over Dani earlier under their heads.
He took the saddle and blanket off of Mythic's horse, and tied the reins to the log. "There's a good horse," George said warmly, patting its flank.

He sat down beside his sleeping daughter and Jean Louise, and said, "Maybe we sh'd just camp here. I'm mighty tired after all that." He rubbed his eyes, and curled up next to his daughter.

She woke up, yawning. "Daddy?"

"Yeah?"

"Where are we?"

He smiled. "I have no idea, actually."

Dani giggled. "But you're here, so it's okay." She yawned again. "I'm still really sleepy... I think I'm gonna... take a..." She nodded off mid-sentence, snoring.

"You snore awful hor'bly, jus' like me," George remarked, grinning softly. He lay back down again, and drifted off to sleep. However, his gun was loaded, and at the end of the log by his head... just in case.

Vincent had just set his jacket and pistol down on a small rock when he noticed Violet moving about. It took him a moment to realize that she was actually acting on his suggestion of a fire. In typical Vincent style, he began to help look for dry pieces of wood. Suddenly, however, he hesitated. He wasn't sure why, but he sensed something had changed in Violet's demeanor. This puzzled the young gunman. Though he certainly had not known Violet for that long, she didn't seem the type to be oozing sarcasm after a hard day, only to suddenly turn around and silently gather firewood. His musings were interrupted by Violet's question, which he responded to at length.

"Now that you mention it, it is getting late. Provided -- " Vincent caught himself, remembering the concern Violet showed for Jean Louise earlier " -- They should be here pretty soon. George's horse had an extra passenger, and -- " He was interrupted by the sound of a lone horse, making its way to the small camp-in-progress. "Ah, see? Here they are now."

Still pondering at her behavior, the gunman finally decided to ask, "Can I do anything to help, Miss Violet?"

OOC: Ah, missed your post, GB. I'll just change mine a bit... should still fit

OOC: Alrighty... What to do. :P


Amidst the commotion that had ensued, Wes was plainly pissed off. Everyone had left, and Mythic gave the orders. Sadly for Wes though, time seemed to fly by when he got angry... That is, until some action came along.

Consumed in some sort of trance, Wes' head propped up quickly when Mythic let shots fly. A quick jump beside Melia and her malfunctioning firearm, and Wes was ready to roll.

"Heh, well hello there, little lady." He greeted with his cocky grin, "You know, I always thought it was the ladies who knew how to handle a gun well!" With his perverted remark being said, he rolled over and let three shots loose from his revolver, only to roll back into cover.

"Need a hand?" He asked Melia as he reloaded his other revolvers.

OOC: Sorry it's so short and probably doesn't fit well with the situation at hand, but it's 12:43 AM here and I got tons of homework to do, as well as school and work tomorrow.

"Oh, will you just shut up?!" Melia said, letting a short burst fly over Wes's head. "I think we've got it covered, just try not to die... George left already."

"Aha~!" Aria said, grabbing a stick of dynamite. She lit the end, and threw it towards Arkus. "Buh-bye~"

"Oh shit!" Mythic explained, diving to the ground as the ordnance exploded.

OOC:I really CAN'T do anything more until Boots posts... D:<

Violet shrugged. "I guess if we need more wood later..." She trailed off, and shrugged again. "You can make the fire, if you're that eager to do something," she said, dumping another armful of wood onto the pile, "although I assumed you'd be ready to kick back, after all that life-risking."

OOC:Yay for short posts. ><

OOC: hey, nothing wrong with short XD;


"Hey, all in a day's work, right?" Vincent responded with a smile. He conviently found a tuft of dry grass and leaves, which he scooped up and placed in a pile. He slipped a similarly convient lighter out of his jacket, flipped it open and lit the kindling on fire. After getting it burning, he set a few logs on and sat back.

"Anyway, I'd rather have been pinned down by bullets than chained up in a dungeon without any real means of escape."

OOC: bleah...

Violet sat down next to him, watching George and Dani sleeping on the other side of the fire. "Oh," she said, her tone lighter than she felt, "it's really not so bad. Women get put in dungeons, and men risk their lives to save them. It doesn't always make sense, but hey-- I didn't actually get hurt, right?"

She held her hands out toward the fire, glad for the warmth. It was beginning to get cool as evening set in, and she hadn't dressed to be out all night; she'd only expected their picnic to last the afternoon, the warmest part of the day. "Cute," she said suddenly, motioning toward the sleeping Dani, and obviously fishing for something to say. "Didn't know he had a little girl."

"Yes," Vincent agreed, watching Violet warm herself. "I'm definitely glad that you're alright. I might have had to reconsider my way of living if I hadn't been able to protect you from those bandits." He grinned, then picked up his jacket, dusting it off.

"People can be full of surprises sometimes," the gunman said, draping the jacket over Violet's shoulders. "Can't always know everything right away, though we try." He paused for a moment, picking up a small twig and poking the fire with it. Vincent was clearly at a similar loss for words.* "Anyway, he seems like he could be a good father."

OOC: *read: "DAN is at a TOTAL loss for words" ^^;

Jean Louise's stomach grumbled, and Jean Louise groaned softly as her eyes fluttered open. She sat up stretched and held her stomach. "Hungry," she muttered, still half asleep. She yawned again and saw George and Dani. They looked so precious. Her eyes saddened at the thought that Sara was gone. She looked up and spotted Violet and Vincent by the fire together.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Jean Louise grinned like a fox. "Am I in terrupting anything? I can go back to sleep." She started to lay back down.

OOC:Is that her name? I can't remeber...

Violet shrugged. "Yeah, he does," she said, smiling at him and pulling the jacket tighter around her shoulders. "Not that I'd know a lot about that, but he does." She threw a sideways glance at Vincent. "How about you?" she asked. "You have kids somewhere too, or are you--"

She was interrupted by her friend's sudden waking. "Jean Louise!" she called, half-turning away from the fire to get a good look at the girl. "You're not hurt, are you? Didn't get thrown around too much on the ride?" Her voice, though joking, held a hint of real concern.

"Shh, you'll wake up them," Jean Louise chided, making sure the snoozing Dani and George were covered up with the blanket. She stood up, stretched, and sat down on the other side of Violet. "Are you kidding me though? Nope, I'm not hurt. I'm just as stiff as a board, I'm sure there's a rather large bruise on my butt, I'm covered in dirt, my hair is a disaster and I just broke a nail. But, I am not hurt." Held her hands out to the fire, and rubbed them together. "How about you, my lovely?"

Arkus had already retreived the book after the party had begun to leave, and was very irritated when Mythic decided he would play hero and fired at Arkus. Arkus heard the gunshot and ran back up the stairs, Shadowhand in tow. He used the door as cover and fired at the idiots behind the rock, noticing the dynamite as it flew to where he and his associate had been standing moments before. He slammed the door and moved to the far side of the room.

"Damn you..." he muttered, holding on to his hat as a dull thud pounded against the thick metal door. He quickly brushed off the wave of dust that had flown his way and rapped his knuckle on a small wooden square in the wall. Those fools standing right outside were not going anywhere.

***

A cellar door popped open from the seeming barren desert floor a good 15 feet behind the rocks. With their attention focused on the explosion and shots from the former dungeon, it was doubtful that Mythic and Wes and the others were aware of the six men with drawn weapons behind them, three of whom were using the door as cover, while the other three spread out and moved in on the small group ahead of them...

Mythic caught something out of the corner of his eye. "Melia! Stop firing!"

She obliged, but wondered why he had ordered the sudden cease-fire.

He turned, and cupped a hand around his ear. Footsteps?! "Drooler, Eagle, engage!" He said, pointing. Drooler ran to attack the men, and the Eagle screeched and dived at the others behind the door.

"That bastard almost got us, dammit," Mythic muttered.

"Eight against six, huh?" Melia said, looking around at the newfound attackers.

"I guess, if you can even count Drooler and Eagle-model," Mythic said.

"Whatever," Aria said. "I'm just gonna keep lobbing stuff at 'em and hope I take 'em out in a blaze of glory~" She lit another dynamite stick and threw it at Arkus. It fell a little short. "Dammit!" She said, hitting her forehead. "Oh well, let's try again..." Aria lit and threw another stick.

"Melia, turn around and fire at the rear attackers," Mythic said. "Drooler and Eagle, circle around and come at Arkus from behind. I'll cover you, Aria."

"About damn time," Aria said to him, but she was smiling.

OOC:I don't know what I'm doing.... xD

George: SHNORRRR *roll**roll*
Dani: *nose bubble* SHNOR *sniffle**sigh*

"I'm doing fine," said Violet, lowering her voice. "Not looking forward to telling Artemis why we skipped out, though." She laughed. "But as long as we leave out the 'Mythic' bit, I guess he can't really blame us, right?"

She grinned and inched a little cloer to the fire, being careful to keep the dragging sleeves of the jacket away from the flames. "I'm sure all the guys missed your performance."

"Yes," Vincent agreed rather unenthusiastically. "Those sex-hungry dogs really can't survive without seeing a bit of skin and drinking a lot of alcohol, huh? They're disgusting people, but necessary, I suppose. Who else would throw their money at you so willingly, eh?" He sighed heavily, lacing his hands behind his head and reclining.

"It's a shame you can't use your skills in a more respectable venue, Miss Jean Louise."

OOC: yay for still not knowing what to do at all XO
