James takes the water, has a quick gulp and hands it back to Tristan. "Thanks."
He hears Piper calling out to someone in the bushes and peers outside. "What's going on over there?" he asks, approaching. He reaches for the revolver and draws it slowly.

*Piper is sitting on the edge of the parking lot when she sees James heading towards her, wielding his gun*
Shit! If that person sees that gun wielding-maniac they'll never come out!
*She motions for him to put the gun away and to come sit down beside her*

"Listen, Bambi, or whatever your name is. The way it stands, we've all got a pretty good chance of leaving this town alive. What you tell me can really help us out."

Roger heard a female voice call from the other side of the parking lot as he hid behind the van. He risked peeking around the back slightly to see what the person looked like and saw them sitting cross-legged near the bushes. "She doesn't look dangerous but looks can be deceiving especially after waking up in an unfamiliar place in a 'game' run by a person I don't know." He thought it was then he saw a figure approaching the parking lot and specifically the girl with what appeared to be a weapon drawn. "Now there are people freely walking around with guns. This just gets better and better." He saw the girl notice the man approaching and seemed to motion something. "Maybe these two people don't actually know each other and that guy with the gun may be about to attack that girl. I can't let that happen." he thought as he began searching for a pebble. He found one, picked it up and peered round the side of the van again. Aiming, he chucked it at one of cars before ducking and heading for the front of the van.

Tristan also walk's to the place where James went and sees James and Piper .
what are the doing waiting for somebody ? wait yea mabey another player.
Tristan aproaches James and Piper.
Whipspers are we waiting for another player or somthing?
Tristan looks to the parking lot but doesn't see anyody.
"hey we are people who were just locked up like you. We also had to slove a puzzle to escpae if we want to live trough this we have to work toghter. If you still don't trust us look at the collar's we are wearing you are wearing one too aren't you so there is no need to be scared."

Great, now Tristan is coming too... If this guy is skittish then I'm never going to hear from him agai~
*a tiny *clink* is heard. Piper turns around and sees a pebble rolling away from one of the cars*
"That's him! That's gotta be him!" *she shouts to a very confused James and Tristan.*
"You guys stay back, they're real skittish and you guys might scare 'em off!"
*She motions for them not to come any closer, gets up and starts walking towards the middle of the lot*

"Was that you that threw the rock? I'd love to meet you! I promise me and my friends won't hurt you, we're just trying to find a way out of this place and get these damned collars off too!"

*Standing in the middle of the parking lot she waits for the hidden person to make themselves known*

"My names Piper! What's yours?"

"Sorry. I thought you might be in danger." James says to Piper. He slides the gun back into its holster and looks over at the parking lot.

"o oke i will stay right here"
friends huh did she mean that or did she say it to calm it well whatever.
whispers to James "James how many bullet's do you have left ?"

"Two. And I'm saving one for Leon Tar." James whispers back.

Tristan whispers "hey James what kind of caliber is your gun a .44 or .36?"
"O and James do you trust everybody here or not ?"

".36. And I trust you and Piper. Not sure about Louis or that other girl." James replies.

Tristan whispers" oke how good can you shoot? O and i trust you Piper and Luois well i don't know but i have a feeling we can trust him too. Well hey i have an idea let's make a pact to get out of here togheter no matter i mean really no matter what. if you want we can invite more people later. So wat do you think ?

"I'm not too good of a shot. And I doubt a pact would be necessary. I have a feeling that we will be forced to work together." James says.

"no i mean we don't know what kind of sick things we have to do like that sign kill him and go free mabey that is the only way you know but even if everything hits rock bottom at least we have each other and the pact to give us strenth you know like that. And not too good do you mean you have never fired one or only a couple of times or like do you train like once a week.
Tristan look's very serious about this pact.

"Uh... What the hell, I've already taken one oath. May as well take another. And I try to practice whenever I can. A couple of times a month, really." James says.

"alright so i suggest to oath has somthing like a sign like somthing with your fingers and the pact is just to do everything we have to do to escape well everything except things against other members. Do you have somthing to add?"

"No signs or Bibles or anything. Just stuff like 'I swear blah blah'." James explains.

"O i was looking forward to starting my own cult but without a book i won't be able to pull it of what a shame." Tristan chuckels
Tristan stretches out his right arm.
"Just grab my hand and the words should be somthing like: I swear to do everything so me and my brothers and sitsers can escpea this place and i won't do anything to hurt a fellow brother or sister. Brothers ans Sisters being the people who join in.

...... Tom remains silent as he sees people leaving and entering, closing his eyes he merely breathes with ease and seems oddly focus as he silently mouths incomprehensible words.

Back in the postal Office, "Well lookee here buddeee, we're all in this game together, we all get storgner with what pooower we got, I got birdeee powah, Tom has Ratty junk. WE played, we lost, and now we're stuck, Tom knows it too, cause he tried to kill me, ever see a wave of rats try to eat'cha alive?"

Burping loudly' "I ain't saying moore until you get me free, or Tom is dead" Hiccuping Bambi stumbles back to behind the Counter, his rooster staring with keen eyes at the door.

---

"Yeah. I figured you'd say that."

Louis grabs the key hanging from the man's trousers.

"What's this for?"

"That? something I found in the back" *proceeds to be a bit sick behind the counter and then standing to attention a bit. Looking slightly more sober, "Don't know what it's for, but it ain't for Tom *may he die in pieces* chains. I think it's for the library, I can't remember..." Slumping a bit he looks more depressed, Rummaging behind the counter he pulls out a dusty bottle and proceeds to drink...
Doesn't look like he is gonna stop...

The sun is high in the sky, and at best it is around 11 and a half in to the day, around 6 hours sense anyone has eaten.
(posting may be a bit slow as I'm stuck with a pad)

"Thanks. Don't worry. We're gonna get you out."

Louis stuffs the key in his pocket and heads out the front door. He spots James and Tristan hiding under the bushes.

"What are those dolts up to now?"

He heads for the library.

Large and imposing as ever the library chained door has a rather nice pad lock on it. Inside could be anything pass the doors...

Louis uses the key on the door.

I mean... There's not much else I can do at this point.

There's the padlock.

There's the key.

The key goes in the padlock. Simple.

"My names Piper! What's yours?"

Nile McMorrow:

Malyc:
"I havn't found the key yet, but I did find an ostrich guarding a door in the tavern." Kirelia said to Tom. "Any idea if ostriches eat fruit? I'm trying to figure out how to get it away from the door without getting kicked."

She turned to Piper. "Yes, my name's Kirelia. Thank you"

*Giga SNip*

The padlock falls to the floor. Louis opens the door. A rush of air blows dust in his face.

He coughs and shields his eyes. No one has been in here for a long time.

"Hello!"

Yeah. Go ahead and say you're here. Might as well paint a target on your back.

He looks around the dark, musty room.

I don't like my chances in here.

*Piper waited for a reply but got nothing... Her hopes dampened, she gets out of her sitting position and turns towards the car lot...*
...I guess he's not ready to talk to me yet...
"Well, when your ready to talk just know that we aren't your enemies... Make yourself known to us, you can help us and we'll help you! We can all make it out of here alive... Please don't be afraid of us..." *Although she tries to keep her speech enthusiastic an obvious 'hurt' tone can be heard. She turns towards the town and starts walking.*

no point going back into the post office yet... louis isn't waiting for me outside so he's probably beating info outta Bambi... So where should I go waste some time next.

*Surveying her surroundings she decides on the Saloon. It looks interesting enough after all! She heads in... the very first thing she notices is the sheriff in all his peeling plastic glory. Upon a closer look she notices the Golden Plaque and the words "Beat this Cowboy in his Russian roulette, with your life on as the bet."...*

"Oh shit..."

*She starts thinking...*

Hmmm... If this is Russian Roulette then there is a 1 in 6 chance that the gun is going off right now. i bet that if I beat him at RPS then he fires the gun at himself. SOOO... If I win, I get a golden plaque and who knows what else! AND if I lose...

...let's not think about that right now!

"We only live once... I'll play 2 rounds... That'll still give me decent chances of the gun not going off."

*She walks up and pushes the 'Rock' button. The spinners spin and she tries to gets in a ready position. if it comes up `Paper`
she has full intentions of diving Black Ops style to the side to try and avoid the bullet...

...she fails to notice the 2 corks laying on the ground...*

Tristan talk's with James for a while
"James i have to think over what the rules are. I have an idea to get a weapon.
good luck i will see you soon again soon enough"
Tristan head's back to the motel room and starts to rip everything made out of wood to pieces.
mabey i will find somthing at the very least i will make a club or somthing out of this rubble
Tristan takes apart the bed the nightstand and wardrobe (with force but also carefuly so he will get a weapon)
i have to be carfull not to cut myself or anything o and i need to wash the minute hand of my watch
Tristan clean's the minute hand and then put's it back in the watch. The watch is ticking like nothing happend.
Tristan closes the door before going to work.
you never now what will get in if i leave it open.

James looks around. Okay, we have a really shy guy in the bushes, Tristan is getting a weapon and Piper is, I assume, getting plastered.
Booze sounds good.

He walks into the saloon and sees Piper in front of the sheriff, and the gun. "What are you doing!?" he asks, shocked.

... sigh. busy brb.

*slams head on desk waiting for update*

Guess we're down to four siddenly... lay sigh.

*BANG* Piper is... alive but hit with a cork. The sheriff laughs mechanical plastic eye rolling madly. "let me reload partner!"
Unseen in the corner char rolls the other eye in to a mouse hole.

_--
You get Wooden debris! A plank is barely worth using as an actual weapon without getting a splinter from the remains.

In the library... *Hidden Action*

"Motherfucker..."

Louis climbs back to his feet, clutching the back of his skull. Pictures flash in his mind as he struggles to regain his balance.

He hangs onto a bookshelf and regains his footing. He spots a kid behind the front desk, his leg shackled to the ground. Rock music blasts in his headphones.

"Hey..."

The kid stares blissfully into space.

"Hey!"

That's not going to work Louis.

Louis lets out a deep sigh. He pulls one of the headphones and lets it snap back on the kid's ear.

Smooth Louis.

That got his attention. What more do you want?

A beam of light peers through a boarded window. It shines bright off the surface of a gold plaque.
