Seems like there's an damn sight more cattle ranchers an' rustlers in town today than I remember. Almost feels like I missed somethin'.

Are the usual bars still in commission, or am I gonna have to find a saloon till this nonsense dies down?

( ooc: Elijah is not affected by today's curse . . . but you wouldn't know it by looking at him! he'll be out and about all over the City today, so feel free to accost him for whatever reason :D )

[A tug on his hat as he passes by... Cursed, yes, but he doesn't look (or act, for that matter) any different...]

[Elijah thinks he recognizes this guy. Maybe. Either way, he gives him the same gesture in return.]

Guess this is your kinda town, ain't it?

It's a town.

[Maybe it's his kinda town, but it sure isn't his town...]

Sayin' the least, I suppose. [In a literal sense.]

Anything worth seein'?

A thing or two.

[He's looking, but he hasn't quite seen what he's been looking for.]

[He quirks an eyebrow at that.]

How can it be worth seein' if it ain't worth bein' specific about?

[Nearly a grin.]

Maybe I don't want anyone else seeing it.

[Nearly, huh. That's enough of a grin for Elijah to answer with a smirk.]

Now that almost sounds like a challenge.

Is that so?

Sure is. [Exactly what kind of a challenge, he hasn't yet decided.]

And...are you going to guess at what I've seen, or...?

And spoil the mystery so soon?

All right.

[He doesn't care. Whatever, whatever.]

[Possibly to his detriment, Elijah isn't exactly discourage by that.]

You got a name, son?

I don't believe I gave it.

Which would be why I'm askin' ya.

Maybe that's one of those interesting things.

You noticed it, too? Gotta say, I don't mind it.

I'd mind it less if it were a little more like home. [Not that he's ever been further west than his home in the Vandalia hills, but he's heard stories...]

I think we'd all like a little of home.

S'long as it's just the good parts.

[Elijah takes a moment to look around.]

Too bad it seems like this place always does just the opposite.

You don't like it?

What's there to like? [He glances around again, as if to emphasize his point, and the look on his face remains thoroughly unimpressed.] All I seen so far is a bunch of dusty saloons and cattle ranchers, two-bit criminals, and a shootist or two fixin' to make themselves a regular Hopalong Cassidy.

[All of that sounds pretty fun to him, but he doesn't say as much.]

Pretty sure it'll be over soon.

[Don't take it personally, Jim; he has his reasons for it.]

Yeah, I'm sure. [He sighs.] This kinda funny business never lasts more'n a day or so around here.

[Freddy's trying to run some errand through town when he comes across Mistah Erijah.]

You too?

[He thinks the guy's cursed yep yep even though these clothes seem to be the default uniform for him.]

Me too, what?

[It doesn't occur to Elijah that Orange might be mistaking him for someone who's been cursed. As far as he's concerned, this is the get-up of a fey hunting and magic-doing mountain man, not an old western outlaw shootist.]

.....

[Freddy gestures up and down over himself to indicate Elijah's clothing, followed by a dramatic tip of his own imaginary cowboy hat. Was that good enough an answer, magic man?]

[Oh. Of course.

Elijah just gives him a Look.] This is how I dress every damn day, son. Ain't no curse involved.

[Oh.] Are you sure about that? It's not the curse talking?

[Well now he might just be teasing the guy.]

Don't think we'd be doin' much talkin' if I was cursed.

[By which he means that he wouldn't have bothered with words instead of going to his gun or just walking away. Of course, Freddy is free to interpret that however he pleases.]

Why are you an action man?

[Guns a'blazing instead of spell-slinging is his guess too.]

When it comes to dealin' with people I don't know and got no reason to know, sure.
