It's... quiet. The morning is quiet and dull and even the animals lingering on the fringes of town seem a bit at a loss for what to do. The town as a whole seems to be waiting with bated breath, for the outcome of the tie.
A few moments later Tarvek and Nisha follow him out, leashed to him by a rope binding their hands and a blindfold around their eyes. In the Sheriff's other hand are two pistols. He'll lead them to the center of the town and place a pistol in each of their hands before pulling out a knife and cutting the ropes binding them. He pulls off the blindfold afterwards.
He turns back to the town after, glancing at the few stray animals that have set up on the porches to watch. A crow nearby caws out from on top of the Saloon sign. The Sheriff looks to the hotel and a moment later, the bells on top of the church begin to ring. He calls out, louder than naturally possible,
"Execution time, folks! Nisha Kadam and Tarvek Sturmvoraus have elected to duel to the death. Come and witness."
And then, as indifferent as ever, he pops a piece of tobacco. |
JAIL CELL... AGAIN

So... "coal miner," hm? He said you take care of people that aren't doing enough.
no subject
That's about the size of it, yeah. He picks the targets, we take care of them.

So was it just you working alone to take down rulebreakers?
no subject
Just me alone?
[ She hums and considers. ]
Nope.
no subject
[ And Sara settles down, resting her back against the bars. ]
So am I allowed to ask how many, or is this another secret?
no subject
...Sheriff didn't exactly give a protocol for what happens after he's outed me to everyone. I don't mind being a little more forthcoming than him. Withholding information is what got us in this situation.
There are two of us, one other than me.
no subject
[ A pause, and then she shakes her head. ]
Asking who's too much, though, huh. But that's already a big help.

...Well, that explains a few things.
no subject
Guess it does. It's nice to be able to be open about it, at least.

I liked that guy, you know.

Wouldn't have said so to start with, but you've grown on me.

I assume the injury we found during the trial was one you sustained in your encounter with Ocelot or Undertaker, right?
no subject
With Ocelot, yeah. That was a fun duel. Haven't felt that good in a long time.
no subject
Based on my conversation with the Sheriff about Undertaker, I thought he was the one to kill them. I had no idea there was an entire role dedicated to it.
I assume you aren't the only coal miner, too.
no subject
no subject
As coal miner, have you traveled deep into the mines? If so, can you share what you found in them?
['cause her own exploration was cut a little short]
no subject
[ Nisha thinks about that one for a while before answering. ]
...I know where some parts of them go, but I'm not gonna tell you and endanger the other miner. I don't think I have any answers you're looking for, anyway.
