My poor old bones [DPK]
--------------------------------------
In "Loving" Memory.
--------------------------------------
Winchester rode to his new home, a farmstead, Arichsdorf was gone, all he had now was his wife, and his dog, fluffy, who was on his horse with him... "What of the Houseguard?" What of his men? Would they be the Ranchguard now? Wait that actually sounds kind of nice, he liked that, and smiled as he rode down the river that he'd been bandited and halted at least eight times but now, he has a euphoric sense, he felt safe-
"Halt!"
"Mina or die!"
"Would unsheathe his sword" *Hault!* (Wait void)
*Would unsheathe his sword* "Halt!"
Winchester would stop in his tracks, unvoiding the shitters fail RP in the process, he'd curse himself, he should've known, this was exactly how all his brothers had died... Oh, poor Colt, and the twin's Smith & Wesson, and how could he forget (he forgor) about Heckler & Koch... This wasn't good. How could he be so stupid? He should've remembered the bandit issue.
Winchester looked up, facing his robbers, he saw a green bandana around their face, he was cracked, but not cracked enough, but clearly, these were the Ferrymen.
In reality, Winchester was color blind. He couldn't see that these were in fact Rustler deserts. Possibly worse, Winchester didn't want to be married to an Elf who was way too old for him. Thankfully Winchester still thought these to be Ferrymen thanks to his severe colorblindness.
"Mina or die!" The bandit repeated in a high tone, Winchester looked to the man, or he thought it was a ban, the voice was way too high pitched for that. 'Whatever,' he thought, he didn't have time for a bunch of nerds in cut-up blankets, just like in school, he was being bullied again... Was it about his height? 'No- I'm on a horse, they couldn't tell that I'm [Redacted]...' He thought...
"Mina or die!" He repeated again, but Winchester was deep in thought.
This couldn't be it, if he died now... Well... He wouldn't be able to make snarky "Blank would shake his head from the Seven Skies" post... He was a Fatherist after all.. Shit.. This was serious.
He wondered if this was it... After everything, every battle he has survived, he remembered the Battle of Eastfleet, a remembered he and his Houseguard leaving Temple that day, he remembered having been clobbered by a war hammer that day, his chain coif being smashed as it cut his face, falling into the waters below, having been dragged back to land by his comrades. He gleefully remembered that time he ate the heart of that one guy, he couldn't remember who but he remember the King said to the court to kill him but he survived. He guessed he was a survivor.
He thought way back, to the Bakery in Du Loc... He sometimes thought that Lord Brae had given him a sickness, but that's impossible, he was a perfectly sain man. He remembered proposing to Taryn, or did she propose to him? He couldn't remember. He had a child, but then again he never talked to the kid that much so like whatever on the front.
He thought all the way back to when he gave Yong-Ping his Goat Farmer Ultimatum... They never responded to him. That one kinda hurt.
"Just kill him."
"Are we popping him?" (Void) (#looc) (Are we popping him?)
Winchester would once again use his BIG power to unvoid that shitters fail rp. The bandit would go to kill Winchester, thrusting his sword at his chest, Winchester snapped out of his dramatic trance, instinctively reaching for a shield to block the blow, however... The shield was not there... And instead, he had grabbed his dog, now dead dog... He had to use Fluffy as a human? Dog? Dog-Shield. The bandit froze, he had just stabbed an innocent dog. he was definitely going to Hell now. But that wasn't Winchesters problem.
Winchester stood there for a second, well sat, he was on his fat horse.
He rode off.
He was always more of a cat person anyway.
