[He had awoken that morning earlier than usual. Something was wrong, in fact... he had felt like something was missing. Shaking his head and getting dressed, he headed downstairs. Hol flinched when he realized he had been out of it for days... weeks even. Upon noticing a package addressed to him, he quickly opened it. Rather satisfied at what was inside, he decided to face whatever the day had in store for him.]


A. Hol Horse can be found walking about the town in his usual attire from home. A sign that he's no longer a dull drone.

B. The guy can be found, sitting on the porch smoking a cigarette as he normally does. He looks a little lost in thought, and as such... he may not notice you at all if you happen to walk by.

Yo.

[Cyuss is just out doing his copper patrol. That's what he does for work. He just walks around and talks to people who obviously aren't drones.]

[Oh boy, Hol was thrilled to be speaking to a complete stranger.]

Howdy.

[Cyuss has nothing better to do on the job, so tough. BT]

Anythin' strange goin' on today?

[Hol feigned a thoughtful look.]

Strange? By yer definition, or mine?

This place's, I guess. I'm on patrol.

[He doesn't look it. What kind of cop walks around shirtless, carries a broadsword, and has a tail? An awesome one, that's what.]

Fair enough... Why then yes. Somethin' strange is goin' on... there seems to be a feller tellin' me that he's on patrol, when he's clearly not in uniform.

Very funny. If you saw the damn thing, you wouldn't want to wear it either. It's a lot better this way.

That so? Without it, how do ya think anyone'll believe ya?

[He gestures to his belt, shrugging and smirking. He still has the badge.]

Or do you think I just took it from someone? It'd be pretty stupid to lie about, it's not like I chose the job myself.

Who's t'say ya didn't? I haven't seen much threat from the cops 'round this place, I don't think they'd put up much of a fight t' begin with.

Are you trying to pick a fight with me, old man? I'm tellin' ya, being a damn cop isn't something worth faking.

[He took offense to being called "old man"...]

I'm sorry, I guess I can't understand a word yer sayin' because I'm old. Ya mind repeatin' that?

[Crowe has known a lot of people who've been droned lately. Hol is just one of many, so as he passes by Hol on the porch on his way out of the house, he thinks nothing of it.

That is, until he sees that he's smoking again.]


Hol...?

[He exhaled slowly and looked up at Crowe with a quizzical look. Clearly, he had no idea of just how many he had known were now droned as well.]

Hey, kid.

Well, you haven't missed anything, though I don't know if that's good or not. Independence Day is around the corner though...

I have noticed a few things that seem off...

I've noticed a couple fellers have fallen into a drone state...

[Crowe looks away.] Ah. A-A lot of people have been droned lately.

How many folk d'ya know 'round this place, kid?

Date: 2011-06-29 08:35 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
How many? I-I wouldn't know for sure... Quite a lot. Why?

Date: 2011-06-30 01:19 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com
So ya still got quite a few folk t' talk to when things seem down.

Date: 2011-06-30 03:12 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
I-I know. And I'm grateful. Very grateful. But that doesn't make it hurt any less....

From: [identity profile] emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com
No. I suppose it wouldn't.

From: [identity profile] perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com
I-I'm sorry, I don't mean to bog you down. You're back now, so you should enjoy it, yeah?

[He begins to walk off. He's got a paper route to do.]

[He wanted to call out to Crowe, to talk to him, but decided not to keep him any longer.]

Those things'll kill you, yanno? -Oh hey look. Sans horse, even.-

From: [identity profile] emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com
[A blink, and a glance to the speaker made him chuckle for a moment... but soon the look of amusement fell as it was replaced by a look that almost resembled sorrow.]

Quite a few things kill.

-She plops herself down next to him, obviously not minding the smoke.-

... What's on your mind?

Date: 2011-06-28 01:51 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com
[He thought about telling her everything that was on his mind... but simply put on a reassuring grin.]

A whole lotta nothin'.

Date: 2011-06-28 04:54 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] rapier-ex.livejournal.com
Nothin', huh? -Well, she didn't want to pry...-

Nice day for nothin'...

From: [identity profile] emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com
[He gave a small chuckle and then finished off the cigarette.]

... a nice day shouldn't be wasted on it. Might I suggest target practice?

[Congratulations! You've brought him out of his depressed state of mind.]

Great! Let's head on down over to the park then, hm?
