[QUOTE="maddmic, post: 1350908, member: 9989"] After a night of drinking, gambling, and celebration you all have somehow found your way into the Colorado Grande. The hotel is decorated from wall to wall with an exaggerated style of the times. From the huge mirror behind the bar, to the various pictures lining the walls, to the velvet wallpaper, and the chandeliers hanging above, it is safe to say that this is the grandest of the hotels in town. More importantly it is known as the best place for a breakfast in town, which is what has brought each of you here. After a night like last night, most of the patrons are eating in silence, ushering in the new year a bit more quietly now. Considering all of the shooting and hollering last night, you would’ve guessed that there would’ve been a couple pine boxes filled this morning. However, New Years Eve had proved to be a good one with no deaths and only a few minor scuffles. The scene outside is pretty typical as the first day of 1877 is much like the last of 1876, snow covered and cold. As each of you huddle around your breakfast the doors to the hotel open and a red-faced boy of about 12 stumbles in breathless. He turns and closes the door before surveying the lightly crowded establishment. His eyes widen when he sees a burly man eating his breakfast. He quickly shuffles over to him (Luke Smith) and in an excited breathless voice, he speaks. [COLOR=Yellow]“Scuse me mister. I’s sposed to come down here and find the biggest and meanest lookin’ guy I could. Judge Wilcox wanted me to find you and have you go to his house. I can’t say much ‘bout what he’s wantin’, just that I know it’s kinda important.”[/COLOR] He pauses and looks around the room. In a louder voice, he continues. [COLOR=Yellow]“I’s sposed to be lookin’ fer ‘bout 4 er 5 others too. So, if’n ya’ll whose interested will follow me, I’ll take you to him.”[/COLOR] With that, the boy backs away from the table and waits for the man to follow him. As there’s not much for the barkeep to do yet, he watches and listens to the display and shakes his head after the boy leaves with his quarry. As he exhales, an audible comment can be heard escaping his lips in a distinct Irish accent. [COLOR=Yellow]“Tis a shame, that’s for sure.”[/COLOR] With that he goes back to cleaning his already spotless bar. [/QUOTE]
