Gunslinger // Dojo Gates // 11:59 AM // Marshal JT.
The scorching ball of gas and plasma that was the sun had been sending its heavenly rays down onto the soil of Tatakai, which in turn illuminated the entire hemisphere of the world that was facing it. Though the hat atop JT's head managed to keep the sunlight away from his eyes in rather blinding quantities, and the absence of light allowed quite the shadow to be cast over his face, which consisted of sun kissed skin, with two cyan blue spheres called eyes inside the head and a nice red beard of stubble, which was dyed brown to fit his cowboy image. JT's duster flew behind him slightly as a light breeze zoomed past his well built body, but he didn't move an inch from his spot as he waited. For who was he awaiting? The ballsiest man he could have ever known, or the one with a death wish.
The clock read eleven fifty nine and JT was eagerly awaiting high noon to arrive, because that would mean his enemy wasn't going to show up in the most barren of courtyards, and that would also mean a bullet wasn't to be wasted. But that was a wish that would go unfulfilled as soon as a man in a black vest walked through the area, one with a white shirt tucked into his brown pants and a black desperado's hat atop his head. He had not a modern revolver like the Frontiersman was packing, instead he carried a Colt Army Revolver from the days of old, it was single-action compared to JT's double-action but it was still just as effective. Either man stopped when there was a fifty foot gap between the two, and either gunslinger just gave off a stare that would send chills down the spine of any who watched.
When it came time to draw, the small bell in JT's head chimed like it did every day at twelve o' clock in the afternoon. Either man gripped the pistol at their hips as JT's bionic arm held the comfort grip tightly, as the other man was just beginning to wrap his fingers around the gun. By the time JT had been pulling it up and cocking the hammer of his weapon, the figure he faced had just barely managed to get his finger on the trigger of the gun. And when JT looked down the barrel of his gun, he saw why the man had challenged him, for he had been pulling his weapon faster than any gunslinger on Tatakai had ever been able to see.
One shot, two shots, three shots, four shots, five shots, six shots. JT fanned the hammer with the speed of a bullet using his thumb, to the point that the gun was barely given any time to shift around inside. When each of the .44 shots flew out from the smoking barrel of his gun, they each propelled into different limbs of the body. The first two slammed into the hands of JT's opponent, the third into the solar plexus, four and five rendered his kneecaps useless, and six embedded itself into the cranium of the man, which sent him stumbling backwards as the bullets staggered his body and forcibly made him collapse as the last bullet hit. And so JT holstered his revolver, turned, and addressed the crowd behind him.
"You all chose to risk letting a bullet travel through me and hit one of you? Smart choice, 'cause I don't take bullets."
((Open for interaction. Fight, talk, whatever :3 ))

"Quite the shot" A man, wearing a brown lether jacket, a red T-shirt, blue jeans, and brown hiking boots leaned against a tree behind you, he had a revolver too, but his was much, much more amped up than yours
-
[i]"Yeah, thanks." JT's revolvers were a pair of yellow-barreled Colt Anacondas, but they got the job done extremely well in most circumstances. [/i]
-
"I'd say you were a freak of nature, if it weren't for the augs" He smiled, and extended his hand, walking over "Jared, Jared Grant"
-
Impressive. [b]Astrid stands there, armour ready. Standard, streamline and with a few decorative streaks[/b] Care to dance with death?
-
[b]Out from the crowd comes another cowboy, slightly dressed different, wearing a poncho. He's a vaquero. He walks over to JT, adjusting his hat. [/b] "That was some good shooting out there, very good..."
-
[i]JT was... Well, seeing as he was the only cowboy ever to grace the Dojo or any other land that he'd been to, he was damn surprised to see a vaquero around the place. A look of curiosity crossed his face as he looked to the man. "Well... Looks like there's more than one cowboy in the place.." [/i]
-
"Yes... I was a bit surprised to see another cowboy around here as well. Of course, you seem a bit... advanced..."
-
[i]"I was born in basically what is Neo-Texas, of course I've got some better shit than the older cowboys did." [/i]
-
"Hmm, interesting, I'm also a bit advanced, but not from technology..."
-
[i]Mage? Magician?[/i]
-
"I'm not sure... some strange being I accidentally came in contact with. It also transported me here." [spoiler]There is a definite answer, but that hasn't come up yet for the story. [/spoiler]
-
[i]The soft and gentle clapping of hands came from a tall woman in the crowd before the cowboy. She stood at precisely seven feet, making her tower above the crowd with a wide and impressed smile. Her skin was a light blue, and her lengthy hear the purest of white. Her face was rather.. pretty, with its high, shallow cheekbones and soft, feminine jawline. Her chin had a very soft curve, and her nose was small and perky. The woman's irises were a fiery orange, and the sclera a midnight black. The smurf's attire was simple: a blacks shawl was around her neck, hiding a nasty cut from sight. On her torso, she wore a simple, plain, mother white, and loose-fitting T-shirt, though her.. ahem, assets were still very visible. Jesus, I'm making myself cringe. Below the shirt was a bright pink skirt that reached to her knees, the rim being frilly and decorated. And, finally, on her feet were a pair of white sneakers with storm grey socks. [/i] "That was very impressive," [i]She said with a voice as clear as crystal, and as gentle as a loving mother. [/i]
-
[i]JT's own kind and cyan eyes scanned the crowd as they hopped from civilian to civilian in a flurry of gaze shifts before the orbs that were his eyes rested on the tall smurf of a woman, which was definitely not a very unappealing woman, although JT thought she was already with someone (Orn got dibs) and so he made a note to not try and make any unwanted advancements. He smiled to the woman as a friendly and calm tone laced his Texan accent, which was soothing and charming like a desperado of the old west, without the desperate part - Basically his smile and tone made him look like the Clint Eastwood of -blam!-boys. "Thank you kindly ma'am, took some practice to draw like that." [/i]
-
[i]Leif's smile widened as she carefully started making her way through the crowd, remaining friendly and polite, not shoving or pushing in the slightest. Once she stood before the cowboy, she extended her left hand, which had neatly trimmed nails, for a handshake. [/i] "No problem! I'm just being honest.. I've never seen someone draw so fast, though! Not even in movies or real life.." [i]Oh, yeah, real life. You see, Leif's immortal in the sense that she's ageless, so she definitely did see a few standoffs in her life.. Though, if you were to look at her, she seemed to be around her twenties.[/i]
-
[i]JT's smile only widened at the compliment given to him by the woman, especially when the movies were mentioned, as JT knew that the movies got more than a few things about the art of standoffs wrong. So he gripped her hand in his own ceramic and steel prosthetic which had a skeletal make about it, and shook the hand. "Well ma'am, you look young, how many standoffs have you seen? I know it ain't exactly a thing most young people enjoy." [/I]
-
[i]Leif's grip on the skeletal prosthetic was firm yet gentle, a perfect mix, really. Tight but not too tight. She withdrew her hand after the simple greet, descending it down to hang limply at her side after. The crazy Yandere psycho person then smirked at the mention of her looks, her head slowly shaking in disagreement, making her hair dance ever so slightly.[/i] "No, I'm not that young.. Y'noticed how I'm blue, yeah? And these eyes? Y'know about Dullahans? Reapers of souls? I'm.. I'm one of those." [i]A soft, cheerful chuckle came from the woman before she continued on, [/i] "We're ageless, and thus I'm a few centuries old.. Seen just a few standoffs, though, sadly."
-
[i]"Well either way you look pretty damn good," JT responded as he planted either of his augmented hands in his pockets, and a smile crossed his face. It wasn't daily he meet someone older than he was, that's for damn sure. "Besides, it's good to see someone else that's older than twenty five here." [/i]
-
[i]The smurf only got a very bright red colour on her face, her two orange lookers immediately looking down at her sneakers, head tilt slightly forward. She then shyly shifted, speaking with a rather silent voice, [/i] "T-Thank y-y-you, mister.." [i]Leif forced herself to look up, making orange meet with cyan as it had before. The bright blush remained on her face, though it slowly faded with an awkward giggle. [/i] "And I wouldn't know.. Haven't been here for long."
-
Edited by JT of Winterhold: 10/9/2016 1:47:34 PM[i]"Well, how long have you been here?" The cowboy asked with intrigue in his eyes and a curious smile, all while he folded his augmented arms for greater comfort purposes. He was just glad that he wasn't drunk when talking to her, that's when shit would go down. [/i]
-
[i]And that's also when he'd get rejected, because, well.. y'know, lesboness. And, if he didn't get rejected.. he'd be in for one hell of a surprise when Leif's clothes went off. [/i] "Oh.. I've been here for.. a week, I think? I'm not sure, surprisingly enough.." [i]Was the smurf's answer, an awkward snicker following her words, embarrassed by the fact that she didn't even know when she arrived or how long she'd been here, at the Dojo. [/i] "So, return question: where did you learn to draw your gun that fast?"
-
[i]"I was raised in what is basically a crossover 'tween Neo Texas and Alabama, you really got to learn how this kind of thing works down there," he said. He didn't lie either, in Cylak it was kill or be killed with all the gang activity on the streets, and JT had to become the best of the best to shoot that well. [/i]
-
"Neo Texas," [i]Leif very slowly repeated, letting the two words gently roll off her tongue. She cocked her head to the right a little, eyebrows furrowed in curiousity and confusion, mind racing to find things that sounded like the word, or had to do with it.. Nothing. She just didn't know. [/i] "Mind explaining that just a little?"
-
[i]"Imagine Blade Runner and Robocop hate-blam!-ed in Texas," JT bluntly put it as he really couldn't find any better analogies, and not all too many people had a clue what Cyberpunk was, aside from a brief playthrough of Deus Ex for most of the people. "Neon lights, computers running everything, police robots, you get the gist of it. The Deus Ex of Texas, it was pretty fun." [/i]
-
[spoiler]What? She said she hadn't been at the Dojo for long. :b[/spoiler]
