BONUS PICTURE TIME! Cat, Tatty and I are doing a colab for the actual event entry for this image, and I know I'm very late-procrastinate-y with this one, but better late than never as they say!



Character Index:


Roo - generally easy going, native of Australia, has delusions of cowboy grandeur.
Chess - the boss on this ride, and no one seems to object! must be that knife collection of hers *Tattered-Dreams
Ash - Avenger's mummy; far nicer than her horse *AgentDarkhorse
Cat - owner of Dry Gulch; belongs to *MissDudette



Chess poked at the fire with a long branch, holding her head up with one hand as she watched the dancing flames and temperamental, smouldering coals. How the hell long did it take for anyone to collect firewood?! Roo had been gone for nearly twenty minutes; his mission: pick up sticks from the ground. Level: easy. And yet she hadn't seen even a vague silhouette of him for more time than she cared to think about. She was getting tired of sitting alone, waiting for him to come back, and wondering where the bloody hell Cat had gone. Her excuse had been "groomin' Jim," but she'd been gone for ages and Cat was starting to wonder if she wasn't hiding behind a bush snogging someone's face off. Probably not... but still. It was possible.

She sighed and tossed the now flaming stick into the fire as a familiar voice rang out over the crackle of the flames.

"Look what I found!" Roo announced, and Chess glanced around.

"Took you long enough!" she scolded him as his companion took a seat on the ground by the fire. "I was starting to think you'd been ravaged by wolves or something."

The other girl laughed, warming her hands on the fire briefly. "Please! He couldn't find a pack of wolves if he had a map," the blonde girl said, leaning back so Roo could see the sarcasm in her bright blue eyes.

"Hey," Roo protested lamely, his arms wrapped around an unnecessarily large amount of kindling for the small fire their small fire.

"Well said!" Chess agreed, taking in the new girl.

"Oh, that's no fair!" Roo complained, trying to shift the weight of the wood in his arms -- how could a bunch of sticks be so bleeding heavy? "That's two against one! Not even Peanut here to defend me! Speaking of which, where is the little deaaaaah!" he yelped, trying to grasp at all the sticks as they washed out of his arms like a very depressing waterfall. "No! No! Wow. That's dissapointing," he muttered, releasing the last few sticks from his folded arms and letting them drop into the pile on the ground. "Sod it, i'm done. Here, have some sticks," he told them, shoving a few over with his feet and collapsing down on the ground between them. "By the way, Chess, Ash. Ash, Chess. Met Ash on the trail... I think. Met Chess on the phone... I think. Who's got the grog?! Wait, that's cowboys right? Or is it pirates? Whatever, pass the beer."



First night around the camp fire with Chess and Ash! Roo and Ash met at some point along the way, so naturally everyone's having a beer! Or, Roo's having a beer. Everyone else be damned. They can get their own six packs.

Not exactly a creative story; sorreh xD But it's the thought that counts! Hope you guys like it all the same! TTFN!
