| He swiveled around her... "Oh, no no no, miss... You misunderstand. I won't be requirin' payment... I just want mah foot in the door on the milkin' business..." He shifts his scarf, which looks a bit more like a cape than a scarf, given how badly tied it is, and continues his plea... "C'mon, ain't there anythin' I could do ta show ya I know what ah'm doin'?" |

| Hikari rolled her eyes. Hikari: Well, for starters, you can try an' make your accent all consistent like. "Knew it! Yer fulla dodongo dung! Them's playing cards you been hidin'." "Joo see nathing, mang. Eets jus' collectibles." Hikari tried to step around the figure. Hikari: It strikes me a bit odd when someone in here says they wanna help. If you wanna ride somewhere, ask someone else. I don't think think the horses would fancy haulin' something with smoke pouring out their automail. |

| OOC: COLD. AS. ICE. The man was taken aback by the insult to his apparent disabilities... A burst of steam blew out of his sleeve AND his ears. His face went red, and he hung his head. "Aw, I know... I can't do it, I can't really speak like the rest of you do. I'm sorry, I won't bother you anymore..." He trudged back over to his priestly fellow, and sighed into his drink. 1% now and forever... Priest: "It's ok, man... Still wanna find those bandits?" Man: "Nah, nah... I don't have the heart to now. Just... let me have my milk..." |

| Luna snorted with laughter over the scene. Luna: "Milk..." Luna burst into laughter, it was either the drink she had was causing her to forget about what usually happens in a bar. She just couldn't contain it as she bursted into more laughter. Luna: "Milk... You're 25% metal and you're thinking about milk! Milk's for growing children, not full grown men!" The situation just made her burst into more laughter. This big guy with steam powered limbs was talking about saving milk so he could just end up drinking it all. Luna: "Have some beer, it'll make you feel better, it can do much more than milk!" Luna burst out into another fit of laughter as she got some strange looks at her throughout the bar. |

| As the sun beats down on the scorched, dusty ground of Kakariko Gulch, three dark figures ride towards the town on horses from a distance, two riding slightly behind the first, in a triangle of sorts. Heading the group is a decently tall man with frizzy brown hair and rectangular glasses that reflect different degrees of sunlight depending on his mood, wearing black jeans and a black collared shirt under his white duster. A shining revolver dangled at his side, an imposing twelve-inch barreled revolver - a Buntline Special. To the left of the leading man was a slender man in a black duster, with a well-kept black goatee and a slightly bent cigarette poking out from under his wide-brimmed, black ten gallon hat. A lever action rifle, with a scope sitting on top (an oddity in that day and age) was slung across his back by a strap traversing over his chest. And rounding out the group was a stocky man in a tan poncho with a zigzagged pattern of green and red crossing the material with an exceptionally large sombrero. He had pitch-black sunglasses (Gundam fans: Quattro Bajeena sunglasses) that seemed to barely filter any light through. He seemed to carry no weapon - save for the horse-drawn gatling gun putting along on the two wheels mounted to it behind him. As the three made their way into town, a man crossing the street noticed the three outsiders, and stood there for a moment squinting to make out the figures - then his eyes bulged to the size of pie plates and turned, screaming and holding onto his bowler hat as he ran down the street, shouting, "The Gurio Gang's coming! Bar your doors and hide your children!" Five minutes later, the three arrived to a dusty, empty main street devoid of all life except a tumbleweed, which itself seemed eager to make it into hiding. The aparrent leader of the group reached up and adjusted his glasses, the lenses of which shone brilliantly. |

((Wow... they're so badass that even people living in the worst town still flee  ))Meanwhile, on the other side of town.. Hikari stepped closer to the exit until a body flew through the doors. Mitra: Aw, shoot. Hikari: Looks like Mitra's wish goes unfulfilled today. A tall, lanky man wearing a poncho that's much too short decked the thug that bounced a body out the saloon. Lanky Man: Hey! You knocked over my drink! Another Guy: Ah don't give a rat's ass about no drink of yers. But you done ruined mah perfect hand, you git! And then that tall man was tackled into the ground by the other guy, whose game was ruined. All of a sudden, a youthful looking man, who was riddled with pimples appeared to just say one thing. Youth: BAR FIIIIIGHT! Immediately after he shouted, the young man was conked on the head with a whiskey bottle. Hikari: *sighs* C'mon, Glenn. Might as well shove off. |

| The three unknown men pushed open the door of the local general store, their figures almost blacked out as they stood in front of the sunshine pouring in from outside. A plump store manager in a cross-patterned shirt and a black vest immediately squealed and hid under the counter. The leader of the three stepped up to the counter and planted his hands firmly down on it, causing the entire structure of the counter to tremble and eliciting a whimper from the man curling up under it. Man #1: You get out from under there and tell me what the hell's up with this town before I-- Manager: Don't hurt meeeee  Man #1: I won't have to if you tell me what's up with everyone fleeing from us when we rode in... The manager slowly peeked up from behind the counter. Manager: Y... you three are the Gurio Gang! You're feared like no others in these parts! You robbed the Rupee Express... A thought bubble appears above the man's head... depicting him and his two companions standing inside a train car, staring dumbfounded at a giant, scorched hole in the wall, evidently a sign of using too much explosive to open a safe. Manager: You held that old lady for ransom down in Gerudo... The thought bubble now contains a scene of the three in chibi-form running in circles to and fro around a house, being chased by an old lady with a broom with either the Benny Hill theme or some generic slapstick piano music in the background. Manager: You even shot Old Man Sahasrahla... the meanest, toughest marshall in these parts! The bubble now contains the man facing off against a grizzled, balding old man, both inching for their guns. "I'm totally going to die," thinks the man, right before he points behind the old man and shouts, "Look! A snowman!" The old man turns away, and on cue, the man runs off into the distance. Moments later, the old man collapses to the ground and dies of a heart attack. Man #1: Bitchin'. The man in the poncho pokes his head in. Man #3: Boss? You might wanna come look at this. The other two men stepped outside and watched at the sombrero-wearing man pointed to three wanted posters all in a row - all depicting the three members of the Gurio Gang, Melvin, Smithy, and Booster as looking a lot angrier and more badass than their real-life counterparts, as well as advertising a nine hundred and ninety-nine rupee reward for all three men, dead or alive.

| Luna jumped out of her chair just as another collided with it. She rushed over to the other side of the bar, now determined to get Maya, who had been giving more drinks when everything started and was now hiding behind an over turned table. Luna jumped behind the table landing right next to Maya. Luna: "You wanna go quietly this time?" Maya's eyes widened, luckily for her though, Luna's head wasn't completely behind the table and a bottle hit her and she jumped up with rage and grabbed a bottle and nailed a random person. Maya quickly escaped into another room, leaving Luna cursing loudly. |

| A tiny, old man crept up Melvin and his posse, quivering in his own boots as he held up his boomstick. Old Man: Hey! Is yous! The Gurio Gang! I is gonna kick your asses and get me some monah! The old man continued to shake in the mere presence of the Gurio Gang. He eventually dropped his gun and ran for the nearest wooden barrel. ------------------ Hikari: I'm just glad I was able to finish that drink before they ran a man through. Hikari let out a dreamy sigh as she greeted the horses. Her short bliss was interupted by a man being flung out through a window. Hikari: I'm glad the horses aren't surprised by that sound anymore. |

| With his sombrero comfortable on his head and a pair of maracas in his hands, Teddy salsa-ed in between the three Gurio Gang members and their respective wanted posters. The bear took no notice of the outlaws and continued to slide and dance an impressive impromptu salsa all to the rythm of the of his instruments. Teddy ended the show with two sudden beats, then streamed on into the general store with a ring of the bell. As he entered, the store manager ducked behind the counter, thinking of the Gurio Gang, but soon decided it was safe enough to help out his customer. Manager: What can I do ya fer, sonny? Teddy pulled out a stepping stool amidst all the sellable junk at the store and set it up right near the counter so that he could properly talk to the manager. In an undistinguishable mutter, Teddy let him know what he was after. The store manager grew wide-eyed, then, catching himself, tried to act as normal as possible. Manager: Umm, yeah ... The, uh, bathroom is ... r-righ' behind that d-door ... r-r-righ' there ... th-that's the one, yes s-s-s-sir. Teddy: Good, good ... oh, and be sure to have my order ready by the time I get back, ya here? Manager: W-will do, s-son ... |

| A loud crash could be heard again as Hikari and Glenn would no doubt notice another man being thrown through the window. It just happened to be the pseudocybernetic fellow from within! He looked sheepishly up at them as he realized he just got completely owned by a bar patron, having been hurled out the window by his mechanical limbs. The priest poked his head through the door. Priest: "Erm, excuse me, though you may not wish to hire my fellow, do you think perhaps we could escape from a mess like this with you? That Gurio Gang doesn't sound like the kind of people I'd want to mess with... And I'm sure my compatriot here would agree." |

| Luna: (Grrr, since that girl got away, I'll chase another... money source.) Luna looked at the three members of the Gurio Gang. She thought about the odds of taken them with their reputation, then factored in about how much was romur, and she was certain she could take 'em... well at least one or two. Luna: "HEY, YOU THREE!" Luna pointed at the three in the most threatening way she could. Luna: "I'll take you all on, any challenge!" |

| ((Alright... *clears throat* People... do NOT be afraid to continue posting without the DM present Seriously. I said I was taking a Dani approach to this, and damnit, I will. This story will adapt despite what measures everyone takes. )) Hikari looked at the priest with a dull look. Hikari: Gurio Gang, huh? Hikari blinked for a few moments, perhaps considering the priest's request. All of a sudden, there was a 'YEEE-HAW!' coming from inside the saloon. A burly man in a trenchcoat lept out of the front window. There was a flowing stream of golden strands and feathers tagging behind the man as he hopped onto a horse. Burly Man: Let's git! Hikari glanced at the man taking off on the horse. She didn't give it much attention as he took off to the eastern edge of town. Hikari: ... Wait a minute, he's got a hold of Mitra.  |

| Hikari: Eh.. Don't we gotta head back? Don't you remember that Mitra's also known to be a bad luck charm for those who kidnap her? Anyways, I'm sure one of those ruffians will rescue her. Hikari blinked for a bit. The saloon was completely quiet, except for a shard of glass that was swept off by the wind and shattering on the wooden floor. The red head squinted her eyes as she approached the saloon. She peered inside and saw most of thugs were disposed of. Hikari: Oh, you're kiddin' me. *sighs* Come along, Glenn. We might as well save her ourselves. No sense in even waiting for a doctor when that man stole the only medic in town. |

| The metalman sprang to his feet, seemingly unscathed. In fact, it was almost as if he threw HIMSELF through the window...? Companion: "Well then, it appears as though we're at an impasse! How's about this: If I help you get your hot medic dancer person back, will ya let me in on some of that milk protectin' stuff? I'll work half price, quarter price, even free! Whaddaya say?" His priestly friend came up beside Hikari, trying to make an aside... Priest: "I'd suggest you take him up on his offer, he seems rather desperate..." |

| Melvin looked to his left and to his right, and even over his shoulder, then pointed to himself with a sheepish look. In a flash of movement and flowing clothing, all three had drawn their weapons - Melvin's Buntline Special was squared directly in between Luna's eyes, the skeleton stock attatched and the back sight having been flipped up. Booster's rifle was aimed at the girl's temple - He was holding the rifle one-handed, away from his face. Even at a foot or so away, he could still aim with the scope, and the crosshairs were aligned perfectly. Smithy had kicked the boomstick that the old man from before had left into his hands and just had it aimed at the girl's midsection. Melvin promptly lowered his gun, and gave Luna a pat on the shoulder, jogging off towards his horse. The other two lowered their weapons as well and followed suit. A few moments later, the three passed by her again - Melvin tipped an imaginary hat to her as he passed by, and the three dashed off in pursuit of the burly guy with Mitra over his shoulder. |

| Luna: "...?" Luna stood with her gun out and aimed at where the leader had once been, shocked. Luna: "..." Luna tried to think about what just happened, it just seemed to happen so quickly and they did it so naturally. Luna: "... What the hell was that!?!" Luna grumbled to herself and decided to just go after Maya, being made a fool of like that wasn't exactly good on the mind. Maya, having taken off on a horse was almost nocked off by the lunatic that had kidnapped Mitra. Maya realized what was going on and started chasing after, but the horse she'd grabbed was old, and mostly worthless. Maya: "Wow, Luna couldn't even get a fast horse..." |

| Hikari was already fed up with the priest and the man with mineral limbs. She shook her head as she quickly stepped towards the ranch horses to remove the carriage items. Hikari: I don't care what you guys are gonna do. She led led one of the horses away from the carriage, and quickly hopped onto its back. The horse gave out a little whinney and stomped its right foreleg. Hikari: Oh, what am I doin'? She hopped right off the horse and ran over to the carriage. She pulled out a wooden bow from beneath the seat and fastened it to her back. It was now apparant that she had a quiver behind her jacket. Hikari jumped back on the horse and waited for Glenn before taking off. |
