*Where Life Had No Value, Death, Sometimes, Had It's Price. That Is Why The Bounty Killers Appeared.*

Sun began to set over the mountains that caressed the bustling village of Bon Bon. Songs of the birds settled and gave way to the chirping of crickets in the approaching twilight. Lamps were soon lit as local people went on their way to their evening chores, dates, and activities.

Amongst the activity, a lone fox rider of a dark brown horse strode slowly into the village via the main street. The fox looked casually amongst his surroundings seeing sights he had not seen since his pass through New Orleans. The reynard's eyes and ears could sense surreal activity that ebbed and flowed throughout its cobblestone streets.

As he drew upon the town square, he could sense someone approaching him. Reynard reeled his equine to a halt as he looked towards the upcoming villager.

Dorian looked at the Fox on the horse Dorian walked up and smiled. Tipped his hat to the stranger and bowed.

"Good day sir, I am Dorian Longstreet. May I ask what your name is."

Dorian said with a smile while leaning on his cane and lighting his pipe. Puffing out the smoke as he waited for the Foxe's answer.

The fox sat quiet for a moment, reaching inside of his black and crimson sarape, pulling out a twisted and gnarled cigar. With a quick flick of a match, he lit his cigar and pitched the used match aside.

The rider took a deep puff of his cheep cigar, "Well, if you must know, name's Reynard. I don't reckon you're a local here, are ya?"

Dorian smiled, this guy seemed incredibly calm. Doing things at his own pace. Men like this where hard to obtain during his days in the British military.

"I am a local actually, Just moved here two months ago. A wonderful town by far. I live in a large mansion by the lake. It also serves as a hotel to weary travelers. Or a place to stay for those wishing to make The Longstreet manor their home. if you are at all intrigued. I would be happy to have you."

Dorian said while his long black coat draped down over him.

Reynard nodded and took another long puff of his gnarly cigar.

"Sounds good, I could use some good lodging shortly. Before I see your fine soundin' establishment, there's a little something I be needin to look inta. Whats the biggest gathering place for people here?" Reynard scruffed out while procuring a yellowed roll of paper from his rider's sack.

Dorian then pointed with his cane over at the Delight Castle. Puffing out some more smoke as he did.

"That my friend has to be the busiest place you could ever hope to lay your eyes on in this small town. If your looking for a good time, it's the place to go."

Dorian said with a smile, but then with a grin he looked at Reynard.

"Though I can tell a good time is not precisely what you are looking for... is it"

The fox gave a low chuckle in between a couple of short inhales. Reynard unfurled the roll revealing a wanted posting and an aged photograph. The wanted bulletin displayed a salty looking badger who obviously wasn't on the right side of the law. The photograph on the other hand appeared to be a group photo of 8 people all wearing the same outfit which looked ceremonious and wealthy; one of which was circled which looked a finely groomed skunk showcasing class and elegance.

"Nope, can't say I really am. I don't suppose ya seen either of these folk?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 08 Sep 2010 Posts: 4141

Dorian gave a good look at the picture. Looking at the men in the picture one man of which he took to be his old friend Isaiah. Who must have been caught up in the picture before he set off for South America. However Looking at the skunk more closely Dorian looked up at Reynard.

"Can't say I have, though I am sure he is over in the Delight Castle. Mostly everyone is over there these days. Of course I would love to stay and see the action."

Dorian said with a grin, wishing to see this man in action.

The fox gave a low grunt as he rolled the parchment and photo back up and stuffed them both back in their place.

"Well, I suppose if you stick around long enough you may. Who knows, maybe I might find some fun you were talkin of earlier after all."

The bounty hunter gave a slight grin which gave slight emphasis of the wrinkles by his eyes and muzzle, showing his age. He gave a quick snap of the reigns and resumed his pace towards the decadent mansion of delight which laid before his path.

Dorian grinned, twiddling his moustache for a second. He decided to follow after for a while. Of course, Dorian had plenty of maids back at his mansion who could easily substitute for the high cost of the delight castle woman. Though Dorian was much more fixated on the fact that he wanted to see how well the man fought. Which is precisely why Dorian followed after.

The hunter strolled down the main drag, accompanied close by his local guide. After a few blocks of silence, both came upon property of Delight Castle. Casually, Reynard dismounted from his steed and tied her up to the hitching post.

Music and laughing emanating from the mansion's entrance. Occasionally a one or two gentleman would come to the double door, being greeting by a precocious and very endowed hostess.

Reynard gave Dorian a quick glance before approaching the entrance.

Looking back at Reynard Dorian proceeded forward next to him.

"I am sure you you know where to find this chump correct."

Dorian said with a grin, puffing his pipe as he did so.

Rank: Rookie Joined: 04 Dec 2010 Posts: 93

Reynard nodded, keeping his stride and remaining silent. The two foxes finally came to the door, being greeted by the voluptuous hostess.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 08 Sep 2010 Posts: 4141

Dorian smiled and followed the Fox, letting him do the work. Usually Dorian was the one who did this. Though he wanted to see how well his friend was around this new town. All in all his ability to adapt.

Reynard gave a small smile and tipped the brim of his hat to the girl.

"Welcome to Delight Castle! Where you're deepest dreams become reality!"

Reynard gave a short chuckle, "Well, we'll just see." The fox quickly surveyed the main hall. Many gambling tables filled the area, all of which were bustling with gentleman, high-rollers, and enough hostesses drive the most reserved individuals mad with lust. The sweet smell of tobacco hung in the hall as music and laughter echoed throughout the castle.

Not breaking his stride, the bounty hunter circled around the crowd of people and brought himself to the bar.

Dorian smiled and nodded to the young lady. Who he knew well,

"Hello Dorian here on a visit.. or a appointment."

She said this with a very lusting grin. Dorian smiled

"Not today, I'm with that man. Though, I wouldn't mind giving you a good time sometime afterward."

Dorian said, following in Reynard.

Reynard kept a keen eye around him as he motioned for the bartender.

"What'll it be, stranger?" Delilia answered, looking the salty-old fox once over.

"Whiskey, ma'am" Reynard answered.

She smiled and quickly procured a squared bottle from under the counter and poured the hunter a shot, purposely bending over to showcase her lustful endowments.

"You here for the time of your life, I bet" She gingerly made small-talk as she poured, heaving her chest outward pronouncing her soft, pink nipples out from underneath her apron.

Reynard shook his head as he procured the wanted bulletin from under his sarape. "You seen this bum around here?"

The smile faded from Delilia's face as she instantly knew what kind of old salt the fox was. She nodded in the direction behind him to a table that was bursting with drunken laughter and caterwauling.

Reynard glanced over his shoulder to see the back of the very scoundrel he was looking for. He polished off his drink and dropped down a few florins on the bar counter, "Much obliged, ma'am". He then turned face and sauntered towards his target.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 08 Sep 2010 Posts: 4141

Dorian sat down at the bar, smiled at Delilia. Which as she turned around, she smiled back.

"Hello Dorian... the usual"

"Yes please Delilia"

Having getting his usual red wine he payed his florins, giving a little extra as he usually did. Then turned around and looked at Reynard seeing how this would play out. Delilia then leaning over asked Dorian.

"You know this guy"

"Yes he is new here, seems he is a bounty hunter. I am actually though much more interested in seeing how this plays out."

Dorian said as he took a drink.

Reynard weaved through the bustling crowd, a couple of times dismissing a busty patron without so much a word. As he approached the rambunctious table, two surly dudes took note of his forthcoming. The badger still with back to him, slowed his attempts to feel up the girls that were forced to serve his whims.

Reynard stopped behind the badger, only making eye contact with a mallard and field cat across the table for a second. Procuring another puff from his now stub of a cigar, Reynard stepped to the badger's side, making clear of his intentions.

"So, I reckon you be Edgar Indio?" Reynard uttered through his teeth.

The badger looked up at Reynard, giving a deathly cold glance. Both the mallard and field cat folded their cards down, slowly reaching at their sides.

"Yeah, what of it, ya old fart?" Edgar retorted, giving a hearty laugh.

Unphased, Reynard reached over and picked up the deck of cards laying in the middle, slowly dealt out five cards to the Edgar and himself. The two across carefully watched as Reynard distributed the cards waiting to see how this would play out.

Rank: Rookie Joined: 04 Dec 2010 Posts: 93

Edgar looked at his cards and smirked, having three kings in his hand, an ace, and a 10. Edgar looked up at the bounty hunter, looking for a tell, he received none. Edgar threw down the 10. Reynard dealt one more card to his bounty as he discarded and drew 2 himself.

Edgar smiled to himself holding four kings, and ace. He laid his hand on the table and gave Reynard a sneer. Reynard raised an eyebrow as he set his hand down consisting of a 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, all spades.

Edgar's muzzle scrunched in in disgust. "I don't remember hearing what the bet was."

Reynard took his stub cigar from his teeth, "Your life."

Instantly, the three men reached for their guns but in a heartbeat, Reynard grabbed Edgar by the back of the head and slammed him into the edge of the table, causing the reverse end to fly up and smack both of his mates square in the chin. Dazed, Edgar scrambled to his feet, throw blows at Reynard only to have them glance off as the Hunter socked Edgar straight in the face causing him to tumble end-over-end into a post.

Dorian just smiled and watched, it was interesting thing to see. Ruthless, yet not enough to kill. Something which must be learned in bounty hunting. As Dorian continued to watch He took another drink and sat back.

Rank: Rookie Joined: 04 Dec 2010 Posts: 93

Reynard picked up Edgar who was still dazed and slammed him upright into the post. Music and chatter had all stopped as Reynard snarled at badger.

"Listen, punk. I aint got time for your bullshit!" Reynard snarled through his teeth. Still keeping him pinned, the Bounty Hunter withdrew the picture and shoved it up to the scum's face.

"Now you going to tell me who this guy is?"

Edgar shook his head and spat in Reynard's face. With one motion, Reynard pushed Edgar harder into the corner of the post while he unsheathed his Bowie and pressed it to the badger's throat.

"Don't lie to me, sonny. I saw this man pay you off for that hit you put out on one of my old buddies. So you better talk cause Dead or Alive, I'll get what I need out of ya. Who knows, you may live long enough to feel up one of these nice ladies in here if you cooperate!" as Reynard said through his gritting teeth, pressing the blade deeper to Edgar's throat

Dorian liked what he saw, this man could yet be the very man he had been looking for all this time. To find Dorian's one true enemy, his rival from years ago. A man still banned a traitor by the empire. Though he wanted to see if Reynard would actually get what he wanted out of the badger.

As Reynard pressured Edgar for the info, he could hear the mallard and field cat rustling to their feet with the distinct sound of guns cocking. Quickly, Reynard threw Edgar to the floor and whirled around to unsheathe his .44 and shot the two surly men square in their gut.

At the sound of gunfire, the room cleared out with a few patrons and guests hugging the walls. Amongst the chaos, the badger made a bee-line to the entrance for his life. With one swift fluid swing, Reynard threw his bowie knife which landed straight into Edgar's upper right thigh. The badger made a blood-curdling yelp as Reynard stood over him.

"Now, tell me, who is this guy and where can I find him?!" Reynard bellowed.

Edgar was still belligerent, mumbling a chain of swears and curses. Unsatisfied with the results, Reynard pressed his foot on the wound, causing more pain to Edgar as his yelps echoed in the room.

"Okay... alright! His name... his name is... Eli... Eli Hallthrone. I don't know where he is now... but some of his guys are sometimes here... I don't know their names... please! Let me go!"

Reynard smirked and lifted the wounded badger by the collars, "See, we could have skipped all this if you didn't have to be such an asshole and told be straight up." Reynard said as he drug Edgar out of the Main Hall.

"Hey... Dorian was it? Mind gettin' those two dirtbags over yonder?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 08 Sep 2010 Posts: 4141

Dorian smiled

"It would be an honor my good sir."

Drinking the rest of his wine, he put down an large amount of florins on the bar table.

"This should pay for the damages and the clean up."

With a smile Dorian picked up his cane, and walked over to the two men.

"Your guns please"

The men didn't respond, except they only chuckled at the Fox. Seeing him merely as a rich man. Dorian smiled and then the giraffe threw a punch at him. Dodging Dorian got behind the Giraffe's arm, lifted up his leg and placed his foot on the elbow, and snapped the arm back. Dropping the gun as the Giraffe fell to his knees in pain. Dorian caught it and held out his other hand for the other gun held by the Mallard.

"Guns please."

The mallard slowly put the gun in Dorian's hand. Then putting the guns in his coat pocket, Dorian told the both of them to move it. The Giraffe got up and they both walked out with Dorian behind them, following Reynard closely.

Reynard struggled with Edgar, pushing him through the door and down the main boulevard. Edgar limped and winced in pain as the bounty hunter escorted him to the local police station. The occasional onlooker paused in their activities to take sight of Reynard and Dorian's round-up. All the way, the badger continued to mumble curses and how Reynard would woe the day he spared his life. Silently, Reynard continued to nudge and jab Edgar to the station.

Upon reaching the station, Reynard threw the wounded badger through the door. Edgar landed at the foot of the main desk.

"What the... the hell is this about... ?!" the evening shift cop bellowed.

Reynard calmly withdrew his rolled parchment for the final time and tossed it on the desk. "Just doing your job is all." Reynard sniped off as the cop looked at the rolled paper.

Dorian escorted the Giraffe into the area, and helped down to his knees, Where he sat next to the badger. While the mallard continued to be stubborn. Pulling out his sword cane, Dorian then pushed the Mallard onto his knees slightly with the tip of the sword on his chest. Smiling he sheathed the weapon and turned to Reynard.

"Well.... it appears you have caught your thieving scoundrels."

Dorian said leaning on the cane. Still puffing his pipe

Reynard gave a small snort as he drew one last inhale from his cigar before tossing it out of an open window.

"Just another day dealing with the usual slime of the earth." Reynard retorted. The bounty hunter turned to the chief sitting behind the raised desk.

"Well, good work, old chap. One of my boys will be out soon with your reward money. I hope you didn't make too much ruckus at our star attraction." The chief said, casting a disgusted look at the now handcuffed vermin.

"Oh, no more than usual." Reynard answered as another cop came from a side door, holding a rather good size bag of Florins. "Good evening, chief."

The chief returned the pleasantry as Reynard exited through the door. "So," Reynard began, lighting a new gnarled cigar, "where's this mansion of yers?"
