That's what friends are for...

Daisy is in her usual spot outside the Cricket - it's a hot day, the windows are open.  Lola is inside and can hear the talk as JF steps up.

JF Kanto stops, smiling slightly....Hello there Daisy.
Daisy Stratten lets out a barely audible, "Fuuuuuuck."
Daisy Stratten: Heya Mr Kanto
JF Kanto: Hows busniness?
Daisy Stratten: Real good. 'cept in this heat most fellas ain't in the mood
JF Kanto chuckles....Well, some ain't and some are I reckon.
Daisy Stratten nods and looks over her shoulder through the window
JF Kanto tries to peer thru the windows.....So where has Lola been keeping herself?

(Inside, Lola  slides down behind the piano)

Daisy Stratten: Oh ya know how she is, just up and disappears all the time
Daisy Stratten: I ain't seen 'er in days...*bites her lower lip*

Lolaraine McGinnis gets down on her hands and knees and crawls behind the bar

Daisy Stratten looks down at her feet and fidgets uneasily
JF Kanto grunts....In days heh? I reckon your whoremaster isnt all that happy with her then.
Daisy Stratten: Aw well she makes up for it....and we have new gals too
Daisy Stratten: Uh...well...he's old ya know..

Lolaraine McGinnis looks over the counter, trying to see if Kanto is still out there  
     
JF Kanto puts his hand behind his back....Say where is that ugly mick that was hangin around?
Daisy Stratten: Hell he went missin' a while back...prolly drunk in the hills with his boyos as he calls 'em
Daisy Stratten nods several times, feeling more confident as she lies
JF Kanto nods slightly....Yeah, sounds about right for an irish bastard.
Daisy Stratten: How 'bout you? Keepin' busy?
JF Kanto looks at Daisy speculatively........Oh, you know. Picking up a job here and there.
Daisy Stratten averts her eyes and bounces her foor nervously
JF Kanto: Daisy, you sure you aint seen Red around?

Lolaraine McGinnis curses under her breath, shifting on her knees

Daisy Stratten: Oh 'course not...I mean, I'd tell ya if I had

Lolaraine McGinnis eyes the distance from the counter to the back room and contemplates

JF Kanto rubs his chin....Yeah, I suppose you would. You know, I get right upset when my friends lie to me Daisy. And I consider you a friend.
Daisy Stratten blinks several times as she flushes pink in the face, "That's nice of ya to say....that we're friends...oh have you seen the new beer hall? Across the street? *points*
JF Kanto takes a cigar from his vest pocket along with a lucifer. Striking the match to life, he lit the cigar, the whole time keeping his eyes focused on Daisy.
Daisy Stratten: You should go look in the windows...they have...uh...women
JF Kanto glances over his shoulder.....I seen they was going to open. I just might pay them a visit.
Daisy Stratten: Oh ya should. I heard it was real nice
JF Kanto considers....But you know, us being friends and all, I dont feel right taking my business somewheres else.
Daisy Stratten reaches up and wipes her brow with her hand, and swallowa hard, "That's kinda of ya....real kind."

Lolaraine McGinnis reaches around under the counter and finds a half empty whiskey bottle

JF Kanto nods....I knew you would feel that a way.
JF Kanto: Why dont we go on inside. I will buy ya a drink or three.

Lolaraine McGinnis opens the bottle quietly with her teeth, spits the top out and takes a swig

Daisy Stratten: Sure hon...*squints her eyes shut as she turns to open the door*

Lolaraine McGinnis freezes as she hears the door opening

JF Kanto tilts his head.....Door locked?
Daisy Stratten: Uh....


[Note:  At this point, it was found that the door really was locked - some glitch that had to be fixed by the sim owner - could have just rp'd opening the door but decided to work this into the role play, a little improv!]

Lolaraine McGinnis smirks a little
Lolaraine McGinnis looks over to see if the chair she wedged behind the door is still holding

Daisy Stratten rattles the knob and tried to shoulder the door open
Daisy Stratten: Well hell
Daisy Stratten: Looks like it's stuck *shrugs*
JF Kanto: Huh...
JF Kanto: Looks like the owner done closed up. Pity.
Daisy Stratten: Heh heh, didn't even tell me....
JF Kanto: Never mind then.
JF Kanto: But you let Red know I was askin for her wont you?
Daisy Stratten: Well uh, you try the 10, hon. Git a drink there *nods*
JF Kanto looks down the street
Daisy Stratten smiles sweetly and smoothes her hair
JF Kanto looks thru the window
JF Kanto lifts the window and climbs in

Lolaraine McGinnis curses

Daisy Stratten: Aww hell
JF Kanto grins...well look it here.
JF Kanto pushes the door chair away.....Somebody blocked the door with a chair. Wonder who?
JF Kanto: Climb on in thru the window Daisy.
Daisy Stratten curses and hikes up her skirt to climb in
JF Kanto ambles over to the bar...

Lolaraine McGinnis holds her breath

JF Kanto looks back toward Daisy grinning at her exposed legs as she climbs in.

Lolaraine McGinnis holds her fingers to her lips and motions Daisy

JF Kanto: Daisy, you got a nicely shaped ankle.

Lolaraine McGinnis scrunches down more

Daisy Stratten grabs a bottle and a glass, setting them next to each other, "Awww thanks hon" *glances at Lola quickly and then away*
JF Kanto gives Daisy a questioning look.....wheres your glass?
Daisy Stratten winks as she pulls out a nother glass, then uncorks the bottle with her teeth, she pours two full glasses and smiles
Daisy Stratten: There we go...
JF Kanto pulls out pouch of gold dust and gives her two big pinches....There ya are.

Lolaraine McGinnis grimaces slightly as her ankle twists a little

Daisy Stratten flips her hair over her shoulder and licks her lips, "Ya know, hon. we ain't ever been in the back together." *nods several times*
Daisy Stratten takes up the gold dust and places it in a small drawer attached to the scale
JF Kanto grins....Ya know your right Daisy. And I do have the inclination. but it is just so goddamed hot.


Lolaraine McGinnis frowns


JF Kanto sips the whiskey, his eyes on Daisy the whole time.
Daisy Stratten: Are ya sure hon? It'd be real fun *tugs her shirt straps lower*
JF Kanto eyes brighten up....You are a temptress aren't you?

Lolaraine McGinnis rocks slightly, her eyes tearing up as her legs cramp

Daisy Stratten: Well, The Cricket ain't know for its shy gals
JF Kanto laughs
Daisy Stratten: Ya know it is too damn hot to be drinkin' inside, out front we git a good breeze
JF Kanto: Yeah, but then we gotta climb thru that damn window again.

Lolaraine McGinnis's eyes linger on the shotgun under the counter

JF Kanto leans on the bar....
Daisy Stratten refills her own glass and offers to pour more for Kanto

Lolaraine McGinnis leans back close to the counter

JF Kanto nods...sure, sure.
Lolaraine McGinnis tries to push herself into the shelving
Daisy Stratten tugs the front of her shirt even lower and trails a finger over the tops of her breasts as she pours his drink
JF Kanto: Ya know Daisy, I just might take ya up on the back room

Lolaraine McGinnis tugs on Daisy's skirt

Daisy Stratten: There ya go, hon.*nods and looks down at the floor as Lola tugsat her skirt* We'll go on in the back...

Lolaraine McGinnis mouths: I owe ya

JF Kanto: Aint no hurry Daisy.
JF Kanto: Whats your prices?
Daisy Stratten: Oh well, two fer hand, three fer mouth, five fer regular.
..
Lolaraine McGinnis digs in her blouse and pulls out one of the gold chunks Rog had given her, holding it in her hand palm up to Daisy

JF Kanto: two fer hand? damned expensive, just to get your ashes hauled.
Lolaraine McGinnis looks up at Daisy and mouths "do it for free"
Daisy Stratten with her hand below the bar, waves her hand at Lola, refusing the gold

Lolaraine McGinnis sighs

Daisy Stratten: Ya know hon, I heard you was the one who captured Wild Bill's killer....
Daisy Stratten: It....it....it'd be an honor for me to give it to ya on the house
Daisy Stratten blinks several times and exhales slowly
JF Kanto tilts his head.......on the house?

Lolaraine McGinnis clasps her hands and looks hopeful

Daisy Stratten: Uh uh....I mean yer a hero, ain't ya?
JF Kanto eyes narrow as he studies Daisy....but a whore offerin for free services?

Lolaraine McGinnis chews on her lower lip

Daisy Stratten: Zeke gave away a ton of whiskey to Wild Bill for bein' a hero...ain't no thing to offer a little free pussy....fer a hero.

Lolaraine McGinnis nods in agreement and tries to take a swig from the bottle

JF Kanto rubs his chin as he thinks, then nods once...alright, done and done.
JF Kanto: come on from behind there pretty thing.

Lolaraine McGinnis lets out a sigh of relief louder than she intended

Daisy Stratten: Good..good..this is good...
JF Kanto starts to walk around to the end of the bar.

Lolaraine McGinnis crawls to the other end

Daisy Stratten moves to take kanto by the arm and hustle him into the back
JF Kanto looks down at Daisy....Dont you worry. I aint mean like Larsson.
Daisy Stratten: That's right nice to hear, hon

Lolaraine McGinnis waits for the door to close and then runs for the window

We the Deadwood fuckin' welcome wagon

****

[21:21]  Daisy Stratten: Heya Lola, that bastard Kanto was by earlier, wanted me to tell ya that

[21:22]  Lolaraine McGinnis: Who ya'll talkin' about?

[21:22]  Rod Eun: He's a fine craftsmen and ain't no dummy.. *chuckles

[21:22]  Daisy Stratten: Oh 'bout Mr Mortlock bein' married

[21:22]  Lolaraine McGinnis smiles brightly

[21:22]  Lolaraine McGinnis: Kanto ya fool *laughs*

[21:22]  Daisy Stratten giggles

[21:23]  Rod Eun chuckles again

[21:25]  Daisy Stratten: Donald was 'round earlier, he was jumpy 'bout some soldier boy

[21:26]  Daisy Stratten nods

[21:26]  Lolaraine McGinnis looks over at Daisy: Where the fuck them bruises come from?

[21:26]  Daisy Stratten: Oh and kanto says to me that he's gonna tell Larsson to propose to me *spits* like it's a funny joke

[21:27]  Daisy Stratten shrugs, "I dunno the fella. Called 'imself Lukas."

[21:27]  Daisy Stratten: I got 'im with my boot knife and he run off

[21:28]  Lolaraine McGinnis: Good thing, remember that one near strangled ya?

[21:28]  Daisy Stratten shudders

[21:28]  Daisy Stratten: maybe we need more security men

[21:28]  Lolaraine McGinnis: That piano fellow maybe...

[21:29]  Daisy Stratten: 'scuse me a minute

[21:29]  Lolaraine McGinnis sighs

[21:29]  Lolaraine McGinnis: You do security Rod?

[21:29]  Rod Eun: Hmm? what's that now?

[21:29]  Rod Eun: Security?

[21:29]  Lolaraine McGinnis: Security... *looks irritated*

[21:30]  Rod Eun: I don't get involved much, but ya may notice no one gets shot up much, when I'm round.. *chuckles some

[21:30]  Lolaraine McGinnis bites the inside of her mouth a bit and shrugs

[21:31]  Rod Eun: I know his kind.. and I'm sure his friend ain't no different... I seen a good number a fellas fore

[21:31]  Lolaraine McGinnis: I know his kind too *laughs harshly*

[21:31]  Rod Eun: and i don't get shot up for a reason neither.. *he nods to her

[21:31]  Rod Eun: Yes.. I heard his story, when he were telling it to Daisy

[21:32]  Lolaraine McGinnis looks at Rod long and hard:  "What story?"

[21:33]  Rod Eun: He was tellin' Daisy bout you and him, I could see why ya two don't like him none too much

[21:33]  Tavia Faith: Good Eve Mr. Eun

[21:33]  Rod Eun: hmm? Oh, Evenin' Miss Tavia.. *touches his hat

[21:33]  Lolaraine McGinnis's face flushes a little and she starts to say something, but stops and turns away

[21:33]  Rod Eun: How goes the herb biz?

[21:34]  Daisy Stratten: I swear to God there is a dead raccoon down in the shitter *grimaces*

[21:34]  Rod Eun turns and stops his talk with Lola

[21:34]  Tavia Faith: Good, have a decent pharmacy stocked and enough jam put up for January

[21:34]  Lolaraine McGinnis's face is flushed, her chest is heaving, she's frowning as she stares at Daisy

[21:34]  Rod Eun: That is very good Ma'am.. *he nods to Tavia

[21:34]  Daisy Stratten: Pharmacy? You sell morphine, ma'am?

[21:34]  Tavia Faith: I'll just be explorin a bit, seeing what's been on in town while I've beenbusy

[21:35]  Tavia Faith: I'm actually a Physician miss, so I have a decent pharmacopia

[21:35]  Daisy Stratten looks at Lola, "I hate dealin' with them almond eyed fucks down the street."

[21:35]  Rod Eun: As always, be careful walkin' round.. I heard thee was another injun in town ta day

[21:35]  Daisy Stratten: Lady doctor, eh?

[21:35]  Lolaraine McGinnis's lips are clamped as she continues to stare at Daisy

[21:36]  Tavia Faith: Yes... hadn't intended to actually pick back up the doctors bag, but had too many folks needing my help

[21:36]  Rod Eun looks over, giving Mrs Mortlock a nod and a smile

[21:36]  Daisy Stratten: Oh there's Mizzus Lockmort *squints as she looks over*


[21:37]  Lolaraine McGinnis frowns deeply, not taking her eyes off of Daisy

[21:37]  Tavia Faith: My cabin isjust over the creek, set up as a proper little clinic now that my supplies arrived


[21:37]  Daisy Stratten looks over at Lola and blinks

[21:37]  Dottie Mortlock hums softly to herself as she sweeps the porch, half listening to the conversation next door.

[21:37]  Daisy Stratten nods her head and smiles at the mention of supplies

[21:38]  Tavia Faith: Should you need anything, dont hesitate to contact me...

[21:38]  Lolaraine McGinnis opens her mouth as if to say something to Daisy, but then clamps it shut

[21:38]  Daisy Stratten: Yes ma'am, I will surely do that

[21:38]  Tavia Faith: although I hear Doc Crowe is good at her business too

[21:39]  Tavia Faith: never can have enough wisewomen in a town...

[21:39]  Rod Eun: I ain't even been in her new hospital yet.. *looks across the road

[21:39]  Daisy Stratten: I gotta a man doctor who I see

[21:39]  Buck looks around at the men  and women

[21:40]  Buck nods

[21:40]  Lolaraine McGinnis tries to smile at the man - her smile looks a bit forced

[21:40]  Rod Eun touches his hat to Buck.. "evenin'"

[21:40]  Daisy Stratten: Heya hon *winks at Buck*

[21:40]  Buck stares at the woman with the fiery hair for a while before smiling.

[21:40]  Buck : Where can I find a room?

[21:41]  Rod Eun: There is a boarding house and hotel, just up the road there

[21:41]  Buck nods.

[21:41] Buck : And the drink?

[21:42]  Lolaraine McGinnis mutters something under her breath with a look at Daisy

[21:42]  Daisy Stratten: Get a drink and some pussy if ya like, hon. Right inside here.

[21:42]  Tavia Faith chuckles at Daisy.

[21:42]  Lolaraine McGinnis sighs a little, then flashes a forced smile and flips her skirt up for a second at the man

[21:43]  Buck watches the woman's skirt.

[21:43]  Tavia Faith: alright, time to find my self a little bit of viddles before I put up some more herbs to tincture

[21:43]  Rod Eun tips his hat

[21:44] Buck nods and turns away. "Wish I could say it was a pleasure/"

[21:44]  Lolaraine McGinnis frowns

[21:44]  Lolaraine McGinnis: What the hell do that mean?

[21:44]  Rod Eun: Nice fella..

[21:44]  Daisy Stratten: What a cunt

[21:45]  Daisy Stratten: We was friendly

[21:45]  Lolaraine McGinnis shouts: Come back here, ya asshole, I'll give ya pleasure!

[21:45]  Daisy Stratten shrugs

[21:45]  Lolaraine McGinnis takes out her knife and waves it,then sticks it back in her boot

[21:46]  Rod Eun: Yes.. guess being friendly ain't enough these days

[21:46]  Daisy Stratten: See now that fella will find some gold and then come on back and want us to be friendly with him

[21:47]  Rod Eun nods

[21:47]  Lolaraine McGinnis looks over at Daisy with a frown and hisses: What all did that shit Kanto tell ya about us?

[21:48]  Lolaraine McGinnis nods toward Rod: I hear he said a lot

[21:48]  Rod Eun glances again at Mrs Mortlock, but then turns away

[21:48]  Rod Eun sees that Buck again

[21:49]  Lolaraine McGinnis glares at the man and slides her hand down into her boot where she feels the knife

[21:49]  Daisy Stratten: He said that he promised ya...*stops speaking*

[21:49]  Dottie Mortlock sets down her bucket and rag and smiles happily at the sparkling window.

[21:50]  Lolaraine McGinnis continues staring at the man in the street, her mind on Kanto

[21:51]  Daisy Stratten looks from Lola to Buck and back again

[21:53]  Rod Eun looks over at Lock's shop windows, then back at the Crickets

[21:53]  Lolaraine McGinnis: What the fuck is his problem?

[21:54]  Daisy Stratten: He's rude *sticks her chin out as she says this*

[21:54] Buck snaps his head back to reality

[21:54]  Lolaraine McGinnis pulls her knife up, her eyes squinting at the man in the street

[21:54]  Daisy Stratten balls up her fists as she watchs Lola

[21:55] Buck smiles calmly

[21:55]  Dottie Mortlock smiles, still pleased with herself and the labor she's put in.  She notices Mr. Eun and approaches cautiously, as the sight of an unfamiliar man catches the corner of her eye.

[21:55]  Lolaraine McGinnis glares at the man

[21:55]  Rod Eun turns back, to see Lola's knife, then steps back a step

[21:55]  Buck : y'all don't take much kindly to strangers here?

[21:55]  Lolaraine McGinnis sneers at him slightly: Only thems friendly ta us

[21:55]  Buck quickly steps back

[21:56]  Buck : Aint I shown you kindness whore?

[21:56]  Daisy Stratten: We like strangers fine, long as they ain't rude

[21:56]  Daisy Stratten: We was nice to ya

[21:56]  Dottie Mortlock arched her brow at the vulgarity coming from the man.

[21:56]  Lolaraine McGinnis stiffens: I'm so sick a men like you!

[21:56]  Daisy Stratten: And ya said it weren't a pleasure to meet us

[21:56]  Rod Eun watches the man carefully

[21:56]  Buck frowns at the crowd.

[21:57]  Lolaraine McGinnis's grip tightens on the gun, her body can be seen shaking slightly

[21:57]  Dottie Mortlock whispers to Mr. Eun, "What's going on?  Did he not settle his tab?"

[21:57]  Daisy Stratten: Why ya say it ain't a pleasure to meet us, huh?

[21:58]  Rod Eun whispers: I don't know Ma'am.. ain't never seen him before, but the girls don't like him much.. he were a little rude ta them fore...

[21:58] Buck : Well, had I met you it would certainly be a pleasure

[21:58] Buck looks toward the rest.

[21:58]  Buck : I suppose I'm used to a warmer welcome from where I comes from.

[21:58]  Daisy Stratten: Christ, he' as dumb as the last one

[21:58]  Lolaraine McGinnis's voice quivers: don't he sound like Kanto? He sounds like Kanto

[21:59]  Rod Eun turns to see Lola's look.. "oh dear.. " *he mutters

[21:59]  Buck looks around confused.

[21:59]  Lolaraine McGinnis whispers: I'm so fuckin' tired a men talkin' like that

[21:59]  Daisy Stratten reaches a hand out to touch Lola's shoulder then eyes the knife and decides against it

[21:59]  Dottie Mortlock decides it's best to stay quiet and one step behind Mr. Eun.  Her eyes dart from the working girls to the man in the street, her head shaking back and forth slightly

[21:59]  Lolaraine McGinnis motions to the man: Come on over here, we show ya some pleasure

[22:00]  Buck : I heard this was a tough town. But I didn't think it meant one ruled by women and their knives.

[22:00]  Daisy Stratten laughs darkly

[22:00]  Lolaraine McGinnis's voice shakes a bit: Come on, we show ya a good time an' how we rule ya, if that what ya like.................... hon

[22:01]  Rod Eun winces a little, at Lola's tone

[22:01]  Buck nods at the crazy one with the red hair. "Ya'll aint got a doc here?"

[22:01]  Buck : Seems a bit unstable.

[22:01]  Lolaraine McGinnis waves the knife around a little, biting her lip, grinning at the man: Sure we do, sweet cakes, we got a couple kin patch ya right up

[22:02]  Daisy Stratten whispers, "Go on Lo, git him."

[22:02]  Buck chuckles. "I ain't aiming to make enemies."

[22:02]  Lolaraine McGinnis: Oh we real friendly, ain't we Daisy?

[22:02]  Buck : Just getting my bearings. Didn't expect an irish whore to be waiving a knife at me

[22:03]  Lolaraine McGinnis: All the fellas say so

[22:03]  Daisy Stratten: I'm known fer my friendliness

[22:03]  Daisy Stratten: Guess ya don't know much 'bout Irish whores then...

[22:03]  Lolaraine McGinnis grins and nods, pointing the knife at the man: See? friendly....

[22:03]  Rod Eun eyes dart back and forth.. from Buck to the girls, then back again

[22:04]  Buck looks at the redhead. "business must be slow."

[22:04]  Lolaraine McGinnis stands up a little: Ya got somethin' against the Irish? or against whores?

[22:05]  Buck neither. "I got to have something to stand on"

[22:06]  Rod Eun: Uh oh.. *he murmurs

[22:06]  Dottie Mortlock shakes her head silently

[22:06]  Daisy Stratten takes a step back

[22:06]  Lolaraine McGinnis swipes at him a couple times: Stay off the fuckin' porch

[22:07]  Buck brushes back

[22:07] Buck : whoooah

[22:07]  Buck : I aint on no porch

[22:07]  Buck looks at everyone else

[22:07]  Buck : "This is this town?"

[22:07]  Lolaraine McGinnis: You wus too close, I just givin' ya a warnin'

[22:07]  Lolaraine McGinnis: No it ain't, it's a camp

[22:07]  Lolaraine McGinnis: Ain't no law cept what we makes

[22:07]  Buck : Crazy whores running at strangers with knives?

[22:07]  Daisy Stratten nods

[22:07]  Buck shakes his head.

[22:07]  Lolaraine McGinnis: I just don't like the look a ya

[22:07]  Lolaraine McGinnis laughs

[22:08]  Daisy Stratten: Coward!

[22:08]  Rod Eun: Looks like ya run him off...

[22:08]  Lolaraine McGinnis: Guess he ain't so much like Kanto after all

[22:08]  Daisy Stratten snickers

[22:08]  Lolaraine McGinnis leans against the wall, panting a bit, and wipes her sweaty hands on her skirt

[22:09]  Rod Eun turns again.. "Well.. that were fun.. How you been keeping Mrs Mortlock?"

[22:09]  Daisy Stratten: We the Deadwood fuckin' welcome wagon *laughs*

[22:11]  Lolaraine McGinnis closes her eyes and leans her head back, still sweating

.. the poor lad came to no good end later...the death of Buck
