"Wizards, Whiskey & Wonderful Things" ENW Game Thread

"And I have already forgiven you but," his arms drop back to his sides, "things are going to change."

“It must have been horrible for you to think I was dead. I mean, I felt horrible watching you bleed to death. That’s the day I realized that I really cared for you, because I didn’t want to lose you. Was that how you felt Jake? I’m really sorry I did that to you.” Ruby starts biting her lip.

"What's going to change?" she asks quietly.

 

[Silver Moon]

Let's just say she didn't have it in her to make it all the way home last night, so she found a safe place to rest till morning. She is upstairs right now, but I think her and Jake wish to not be disturbed right now."

"What? But people saw Jake carrying her dead body back here this morning, it's all around town. That was the last thing that halfling saw as he boarded the stage to Tombstone to go write the Ruby West Memorial Edition of his newspaper."

"Beacon Hill. My husband ran a livery business, among other things. What brought you West?"

 

[Silver Moon]

"What brought you West?"

"This'll probably sound silly to you but it was a hole in the ground. My father wanted to see the Grand Canyon before he died. We saw it, he went back east, I stayed."

Seathing with anger, and muttering unpreistess like oaths Minerva stomps over to the Lucky Lady. She orders a whiskey and sits staring out the window envisioning all the nasty things she would like to do to Senor Adair and the Vigilance Committee.

"Oh, that's just perfect! That little one will spread it everywhere. I guess the stage is probably all the way to Tombstone by now. Jake is not going to be happy when he hears about this. Ruby was just too tired to walk home under her own power... what a mess!"

"I was hollow and angry and full of hate, plus I was," Jake puts his thumb and index finger a hairs breadth apart, "this close to killing Eastman. But that is not what I want to talk about." He takes a couple breaths.

"There is probably a lot to say between you and me. We don't have to rush we have plenty of time. It can be said when it feels right. What I need to say today is this; I was giving you all the freedom you wanted to keep you around as long as I could. No more. I can't do it. Things have changed for us, both of us. You are mine, Ruby West, mine. I'm not going to share you. You belong here. Just you and me. No more worrying that somebody is going to run, or somebody is sleeping with somebody else, or somebody is in love with somebody else. Done. I want to get back to enjoying every day with you, not trying to figure out how to keep you around another day, week or month." Jake looks at her with a blank expression that he then forces a smile upon. "Can we do that? Can we?"

"This'll probably sound silly to you but it was a hole in the ground. My father wanted to see the Grand Canyon before he died. We saw it, he went back east, I stayed."

"It's not silly at all, as good a reason as any. You must have liked it here, to leave him and stay. I find I like it here a great deal more than I thought I would. Although I imagine it's a bigger change for me.

I'm glad to have met you, Mr. Harker. We'll see each other again this afternoon, I'm sure."

 

[Silver Moon]

"Oh, that's just perfect! That little one will spread it everywhere. I guess the stage is probably all the way to Tombstone by now."

"Yeah, but he won't be back here until tomorrow. We could probably stop him from printing it, Friday is that day that Wells Fargo make two stagecoach runs from Promise City to Tombstone."

"Miss Minevera?" Nanuet turns to Niles and says "I don't speak Spanish, but that didn't sound like something a lady would normally say. Let me see what is going on with her."

Nanuet heads over to the bar and grabs two more glasses of whiskey then sits down next to Minerva. "Something troubling you?" he says as he hands her a second glass of whiskey.
