[He hadn't exactly been expecting to run into trouble when he'd come over to this side of town. A drink or two at the saloon, that's all he'd been looking for. Sure, maybe he'd been hoping to meet a pretty girl, too -- he's usually hoping for that. Problem is, Jimmy has a way of seeking out trouble, and he'd kind of forgotten that the last time he'd been at this saloon, he'd been robbing it. To be fair, it's hard to keep track of all the places he's robbed in the last few months.

Which means that the proprietors of the place might not be all that thrilled to see him. The bounty hunters, on the other hand, might just be delighted.]

[Welp here's a very pretty girl sauntering up next to him, she leans up on the bar, hat covering up most of her face. She gives him a nod and a pretty smile though.]

[Well well, that makes two of them trying to cover their faces with their hats, although she's succeeding more admirably -- and far more prettily -- than he is. He nods right back at her, grinning.]

Evening.

Evenin' I don't think I've seen you around here before.

[She'll do everything prettier than him.]

Well, I've been around. Guess you just ain't been lookin' hard enough.

[Can he really resist flirtation when there's someone this pretty right in front of him? No, it's pretty much impossible.]

[Which is a thing she relies on. Yus.]

No, I guess not. But I'm glad to see you now.

[She holds out a hand.]

Larua.

[He reaches out and shakes her hand, grin just widening.]

Nice to meet you. Jimmy.

Jimmy. Jimmy... I've heard that name before...

[She doesn't let go of his hand, just holds it thoughtfully.]

Well, y'know, it ain't exactly an uncommon name. I bet about half the guys in here're named Jimmy.

[Okay, maybe not half, but he's a fan of hyperbole, when it suits him.]

But I bet they're not as all as good looking as you are.

[Hyberbole can be worthwhile sometimes.]

Well, I dunno about that. There're some pretty handsome fellas in this place.

[Not that he's really looking. No, he's altogether too concerned with looking at her.]

[It might be a bit awkward if he was looking... unless he was looking for one to join them.]

I'm sure there are, but I'm looking at you currently.

[But, to business at hand. She siddles her way closer, reaching out a hand to almost but not quite touch him.]

Yeah? Wasn't aware there was anythin' too interestin' to look at.

[He might be playing modest, but he's still smiling flirtatiously.]

Perhaps not to you. But I think you're exactly who I'm looking for.

What's that supposed to mean?

[Still smiling she grabs him by the wrist and pulls him forward... long enough to drop a handcuff on said wrist.]

One thousand dollars?

[Shit. He probably should've seen this coming. He tries to pull his wrist away, but it's pretty damn hard when there's a handcuff on it.]

What the hell is this?

Me earning money?

[She swings around and makes a grab for his other hand.]

[And remarkably, he isn't quick enough to pull away, although that's probably due to bafflement more than anything else.]

Is this about what happened a couple weeks ago?

[About him robbing this place? Undoubtedly.]

Among other things. You've been going around robbing quite a few things. People haven't been happy. And there you are with your picture on a wanted poster.

[Click goes the second wrist.]

Ain't like I'm the only one around here robbin' things. People do what they gotta do to get by.

[And really, he's taking this all very well, considering.]

Oh, I know, sweetheart. But you're the one I've currently caught.

[She's wondering if he'll pull something. She's going to take any weapons he's got while she's man handling him.]

[Let's hope she's looking pretty thoroughly -- he's got several guns, not to mention a knife in his boot.]

And you get a whole hell of a lot of money out of the deal. Great. Where's that leave me?

[She is.]

In a jail cell?

[Bum pat.]

Aw, c'mon. What a waste. I'd be a hell of a lot more useful to you as a free man.

[She can do all the bum-patting she wants. Go right on ahead.]

Re: That puts a strange image in my head XD

I wanted to be gender neutral ... what sort of dirty mind do you have?

Re: I was just imagining a lot of guys with cow heads and human bodies!

Oh.... welp... never mind then.
