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."

[i]a tall man with light brown hair and hazel eyes. Was watching him from the sidelines. He keeps wings hidden under a cloak he doesn't like people staring at them. He walks up to him curious cause they don't have guns on the planet he came from. [/i] "Hey that was nice shot"he says
-
The cowboy's cyan eyes crossed paths with the figure who approached in the form of a curious glare, as JT wanted to know what the guy wanted. Soon after his look met the man, all of the assorted crowdies dispersed into their daily lives around the Dojo again, which left JT and the man alone. "Thank you kindly, mister..?"

"No problem the name is nanos. i just never seen something like we dont have those on the planet i come from"says nanos

Edited by Veration: 10/8/2016 6:56:22 PM[spoiler]Nice post.[/spoiler] Among the crowd of people that stood in awe, staring with disbelief at the show of marksmanship and gunplay they'd just seen was one that stuck out like a thorn. He stood with his arms crossed, looking at the misshapen corpse that twitched on the dry ground as blood pooled in cracks. He looked up, eyes polarizing, with pupils of light blue that presented the feeling of looking into one's very being. A shotgun, polished and glossy, with finely cut slabs of mahogany wood and embroiled in lavish gold and silver stuck out from his back, alongside a black army carbine riddled with scratches and dog tags welded into the frame. He walked forward, the machete and arsenal of tools as well as fragile glass vials and syringes of swirling liquid on his hip jingling as he strided towards the dead man. He kneeled once there, sun bearing down on his tanned jacket of black leather, and slid a combat knife out of his pocket. With a quick slash and crunch of bone he twirled the dismembered finger of the dead gunslinger within his own, its stump festering, lacerated and squirting out thick, formula red gore. He tossed it to the cowboy and stood once again.
-
[i]"If that's some sort of innuendo for fingering, I'll let you know I'm straight." The cowboy jested with the man as he tipped his had further on the slant it already remained at so the sun didn't beat into the eyes of this Techno-Cowboy, because even with one augmented eye he needed the other intact for depth perception purposes. He crouched down to the soil and dirt beneath which was practically bending and creating inward slants and bowls on the surface due to the weight of all the Marshal's augments, which had accumulated quite a weight all throughout his body, all as he looked to the finger with a disgusted look upon his slightly aged mug. [/i]
-
"Merely a formality. I would've figured your type would prefer to have a souvenir of combat prowess and triumph." He chuckled at JT's jest, walking towards him at a healthy pace as a small wind began to blow. His hair waved slightly in the wind, large locks of curly chestnut hair intertwines, falling onto his face beaten with the sun and a plethora of steels, making great, jagged scars that prevailed even after years of having each. He was muscular, strong, matching JT's height and with a physique bulking with mass. Soot and sand stained him, covered in a thick layer of grime. He smiled. "Rather impressive display back there. Grand entrance, too."
-
[i]"Thank you kindly man, name's JT." The figure smiled beneath his hat as the laugh lines of his tanned face all shifted to greet the approaching figure with a smile, and the brown beard hadn't done a job that concealed his lips to show the smile. JT picked up the finger and tossed it back to the dead corpse not too far off as it landed maybe an inch from him. [/i]
-
"Aaron Sawyer. Pirate, soldier, whatever you want, really. I've been it." He took JT's hand and shook it firmly, nodding at the ship laid askew to the side of the large gathering. "Flashy entrance, there. What're your specs?"
-
[i]"As in augs or weapons? Got a few of either, mostly passive for augs though." JT could barely count the augments he had, though thankfully he had a list in the corner of his vision when he called for it in his mind, running a subroutine to access it. [/i]
-
Sawyer shook his head steadily. "I meant your ship, rather. Miasma matter deconstruction, miniature solar flare, steady orbit jump? Very nice craft." He took out a cigar, thick and packed with aromatic Burley tobacco, and let the cover of his lighter slip open. It was guilded with ivory and had a calligraphic engraving etched distinctly into its side, but was scratched, worn away with time. He flicked it back with ease, slid it into his pocket, and let the smoke that rose from the cigar pool mustily around him. He took in the rich smell and exhaled with invigoration, the smile returning to his face. "My girl is lodged within the Dojo carrier. Antique, not as modern as yours, but you'd be surprised of its firepower. Fitted it with my own tech. Built it from the ground up. I take just as much pride in very few other things." His grin grew even more, stretching to what seemed like his ears. "I'll duel you for it."
-
Aria was not afraid of death, but she was afraid of the unknown. She came to this duel to figure out how people solve disputes here, but their use of firearms raised farther questions. Aria casted a magic barrier, and reinforced it twice, for these weapons seem to kill in mere seconds without effort, and approached the duelist. "Excuse me, sir? Where can I learn to use one of those devices as you do?"
-
[i]The cowboy rested his cyan coloured eyes upon the approaching female figure as a smile landed upon his aged face, because someone else was asking about the art of revolvers. And so the cowboy planted his right hand on the grip of his second revolver which was loaded with .44 ammunition, and he pulled the Colt Anaconda from it's holster. He flipped it in his hand so he was grasping the barrel, which was signifying he had no intent to harm. "The revolver? Well I'm willing to go and train anybody who asks me to be trainin' them." [/i]
-
In all honesty, sir, [b]The voice came from a knight. Standard gear, with no special qualities upon it. His great sword rested on his back, sheathed for the time being. His shield lay over it, so that his hands were free. He got up from the patch of dirt he was sitting on, up front so that he could see the spectacle.[/b] I just went to the side with more people. [b]He placed the armored hand on his hip and whistled, the metal visor turning to the now deceased man. [/b] Nothing like [i]that[/i] on the farm!
-
[i]"Well trust me, happened daily back home. Then again I'm basically from a city of neo-bandits," JT admitted as he folded the pair of bionics that he called arms, although with all the things he had in them, they could be considered cybernetics more than anything else. "Though I did learn to sling a revolver pretty well." [/i]
-
Yeah, pretty sure that's obvious. Say, what about you and I make a little duel? I need the practice, that's for sure, and it will be good going against a gun wielding opponent! [b]He didn't wait for your answer, instead getting into a stance of some sort. [/b] Wouldn't you say, sir?
-
[i]JT grasped a rifle that rested across his back, which looked like a strange assault rifle, white with a variety of combat attachments like a red dot sight and foregrip. "Let's."[/i]
-
[b]The first thing the knight did was put his shield up, and the sword on the side, crouching low. He began his charge of deadly steel, the menacing point of the great sword aimed at your stomach. A simple move yes, but surprisingly effective! [/b]
-
[i]JT had brought the red dot sight up to the figure's legs as he advanced, and as he pulled the trigger, a shot of hardened light fired out at the knees of the man, followed by another, eventually a hail of shots. [/i]
-
[b]Hard light to the hardly protected legs was a good move. He tripped and fell onto the ground from the pain, the billets that would have hit his shield, hit his body and head until he was a bloody mess on the floor. That was surprisingly quick. [/b]
-
[b]Garin appears behind you, tapping you on the shoulder.[/b] You're Jack Treyman, right? [spoiler]*crosses fingers* Did I get the name right?[/spoiler]
-
((Right name, wrong character.)) JT the Cowboy turned around as the man tapped his shoulder, and a frown crossed his face. "No."
-
[spoiler]Damnit.[/spoiler] Ah, must have had you mixed up with someone else. The name's Garin, by the way. [b]He offered a handshake to JT.[/b]
