[i]It's getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer[/I]
[b][i]-Elton John, Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting. [/i][/b]
[i]Another day, another drink. That was the mantra JT found himself living by, with each weekend he found himself in the bar. The same bar he went to when nothing new was going on in his life.
Aveline and Benny were heading the search for the killer and Derek had been attending an Extryte corporate meeting, leaving JT all alone for the time being. The Marshal hanged his hat on the rack in the bar and his pistols on the table in front of him, to either side of a brown bottle of Crown Royal on the table. The bar was as dead as his current activity, and so he waited for someone interesting to hopefully walk through that front door. [/i]
((Open. This is a boredom post.))

[i]"Feel free to, I'm sure someone would be down for it. And I'm always interested." [/i]
-
"Maybe. Oh, wonder if Nat and Bella would like it..." Star set down her drink to think clearly.
-
[i]"Nat? I swear I've heard that name before... Who is that?" [/i]
-
"Natalie. She's a really awesome girl I went on a date with and also got really drunk with recently. Tall, hot, and fun. Treats me better than my exes ever did, that's for sure."
-
[i]"Right... Black hair, pale, looks kinda emoish but acts the opposite way? Magical?" [/i]
-
"Mhmm. So you know her? I hope she likes me back the same way."
-
[i]"Kid that's my daughter." JT adopted a look of complete seriousness, staring over at Star with a deadpan gaze. The air between them was crisp, almost like it could be grabbed. [/i]
-
Star's eyes went wide and green as her face reddened. "Oh...hehe...." That girl sprinted out of that bar as fast as her legs could carry her.
-
[i]JT chuckled, chasing after her - The hunt was on, now, and he was judging her. Not for how she acted, he already had a bad taste in his mouth at that pink eyed flirt, but to see if she was physically fit. He needed a buddy to do shit like this with. His augmented legs carried him farther and faster than any human, with each spring working it's hardest to eject him forwards. [/i]
-
Star could only sprint slightly faster than humanly possible, barely hitting 30mph for a few minutes before trying to hide behind a corner so she could catch her breath. "Oh my god....I just f*cked up....And I [b]really[/b] liked her...."
-
[i]JT not only had the spring loaded legs to easily keep up with her, but since they were cybernetic, he straight up didn't get tired. He stopped dead in his tracks at the turn and jumped to the side, body checking the air with his momentum to stop himself and face Star. "Not bad, but you're a little out of shape. We need to get you running in the mornings, it'll keep you on your toes kiddo." [/i]
-
"Out of....I'm as fit as my kind gets at my age! Ugh!" Star slumped down to the ground, still panting. "F*cking hell...at least in Death Gun I could shoot you cybernetic people in a way that paralyzed you..."
-
[i]"Kid, my hand is so fast on the draw you physically wouldn't see it move. There a reason I'm th' Dojo's best gunslinger," JT cockily replied, sitting beside her. [/i]
-
Star snickered. "Not since I arrived...." Star said pridefully before taking it back, not wanting to upset her girlfriend's dad. "I-I mean...sorry...please don't hate me."
-
[i]JT drew his revolver, loaded it with a blank, and passed it to Star, before loading one of his own with one. [/i] [spoiler]Keep in mind JT's been at this one thing for about three years - Realistically he would have the edge, though in skeptical to see how quick Star is. [/spoiler]
-
Star couldn't help smiling and stood up, chuckling with the gun in hand. It was impossible to not notice the way her eyes glowed a bright orange now. "Hell yeah! Let's go, old man!"
-
[i]JT stood in the middle of the street and waited, gun by his side. "Yell 'Draw,' then aim." [/i]
-
Star took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a second, reopening with yet another change of color. Her blue eyes stared emotionless at JT while her hand remained motionless beside the gun now on her side. "....You're fast." She said calmly. [spoiler]How fast is JT? I haven't fully solidified her draw speed so I'm just gonna make it smaller than the fastest I know...JT.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]JT has no canon draw time, rather it works like this: If the other person is a normal person, his draw and fire time is a half of a second. It's physically possible. But if the other person is good, JT's arm is so quick it doesn't even look like it moved. The reason is because I know some cocky shit is going to try and beat JT with a newbie or Mon gunslinger after I've been doing this for literal years to earn my title, so that's the canon I have for his arm with everyone now. [/spoiler] [i]JT just waited there, silently, focusing on the weight of his gun. It felt different with one blank, but it was fine to him. [/i]

Edited by Stitch: 11/1/2017 2:08:58 AM[spoiler]Well then. Just say Star's a hair slower or somethin' I dunno. Guns are all Star has really.[/spoiler] "Draw." Star didn't even look like she moved, more like her arm teleported up as the gun fired.
-
[i]By the time that Star pulled the trigger, JT had two shots fired - One blank hit her square in the forehead, the other intercepted her shot as it was in front of her gun, effectively rendering it a useless bullet. He lowered his gun, chuckling slightly. [/i]
-
Edited by Stitch: 11/1/2017 2:17:19 AMStar's first blank stopped JT's first an inch before hitting her head and the second JT fired was intercept by the gun which Star threw forward straight at JT's open hand. [spoiler]This would've been hella fast.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Fair. Let it be known JT did in fact take the first shot, though. [/spoiler] [i]"Not bad, kiddo. Not bad." [/i]
-
[spoiler]Of course.[/spoiler] "That's bullsh*t...." Star's one eye got red.
-
[i]"Right, well, I'm forty one and have been doing this since I was six. Y'ain't too bad kiddo," JT said, walking over and taking his gun back. He reloaded thrm' with .44's again, walking back to his original spot. [/i]
