*walks slowly towards the encampment with her hands out in plain view and a smile on her face, she's initially surrounded by big fearsom warrior types but motions that its the women she wants to see. After a few minutes of trying to pantomime her intentions to the unamused women of the camp she simply takes the wrappers off from around Fin and lets the universal language of Cute Newborn work its magic.
After much fussing a cooing takes place she's settled by the fireside with Fin sucking his toes and burping on a pretty blanket infront of her, understanding enough of what they say to know that most of the jokes are about her.
Signalling another woman with a small baby in its carrier on her back she manages to make her desire to trade understood and sets about showing off all the trinkets she has to trade.
Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

Meh. Just show up during the inevitable fracass, I guess.

*Peering over his steaming cup of mocha java, slowly focussing upon the vista visible through the dining hall windows, he can't help but notice that the Sereni-Tree just so happens to be parked in the midst of 190 acres of gently rolling landscape that evokes unused ranchland. While the posse prepares to leave, cozen limps out of the Tree, surveying the surroundings. He takes note of the nearby creek winding a course through the proliferation of Bentgrasses and fescues and pines. He thinks he recalls there's a nice sandy beach not too far from this location. He considers that this ship has lasers and storage rooms full of things that go "boom", and underutilized mech that certainly can be easily modified as bulldozers and backhoes.*
Yep. Now would be a good time to start blowing up a few unfortunately placed trees.
*He re-enters the ship, sits gently down to the nearest 'puter with a CAD program, and sets to designing the Zanzi-Tree Golf and Country Club*

*Hand in hand, Soul and Serenity step back through the portal into the Old West.*
"Well, this is....quaint." Says Soul.
"Very. Let's go find the others and get Mai."
*They head off towards the town.*
Meanwhile, in the MedLab...
*SimonWho smells something very unpleasant. Seraphina, however, is nonplussed. She says "babababababa" and chews on her toes.*

*An hour later, JadeHand passes the man $100 and collects his second favourite gun. Placing it in his holster he looks at the remaining pile of cash in front of him, and the angry looks on the faces of the other men at the table.
JadeHand shakes his head. Not wanting to get into things with the locals, he takes $200 from the pile and places it in his pocket, then devides the remaining pile into equal stacks, one for each man at the table..*
"Gentlemen *cough* I'm prepar'd to purchase some information from each of you. Things are simple, I'm looking for a woman... She's exceptionally attractive and like to be dressed in an unusual fashion. Your ...cooperation shall be rewarded."
*The men calm and begin to share stories of personal sightings and rumours they've heard of recent activies that could be related. JadeHand stands with a smile on his face and quickly wipes a small speck of blood from his lip. He calls over a saloon maiden and places the $200 on her tray.*
"Bring these gentlemen anything the want, keep them happy. I appreaciate the entertainment, gentlemen, Enjoy the rest of your evening. Seems I've a sheriff to speak to."
*one of the men speaks up* "The Sheriff can be a dangerous man. You'll be putting yourself at an awful risk going after him".
"I appreciate the warning, perhaps I shall... aquire additional firearms before I speak with him. Goodday, Gentlemen."
JadeHand tips his hat to the maiden as she delivers the first round of drinks to the table, and he departs.

Truth In front of my eyes
While I denied
What my heart knows was right."

Walking out of the saloon, Jade hears a cough beside him.
"Take your hand off the pistol, it's just me. Any luck?"
Grey leans up from the wall and tips his hat back off his eyes.

Through the swirling desert on the outskirts of town, a hazy, wavering figure can be seen through the cutting dust, astride a black, smokey-eyed horse.
...here I wander where sweet sage and strange herbs grow down a sunbaked crumpled stony road...
As the shape clears through the dust, its appearance can be seen with clarity. A man, dressed in dusty riding leathers, a wide-brimmed black hat shading his face, where only his shining blue eyes can be seen.
...dusty wheels leaning rusting in the sun
snuff brown walls where Spanish lizards run...
Slung across his waist are two polished sandalwood revolvers, heavy and gleaming in the mica sun of the West. His boots are of exotic, patterend snakeskin, armed with spurs that glint viciously. On his back is a sawed-off shotgun.
...here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan ringed by ants and musing over man...
He tips his head back, revealing a face scarred by the truths of life, stained by it. His lips curl up in a sneer as he surveys the town around him, and urges his horse forward while placing a hand on the handle of his left revolver.
...I'll unwind my old strings while the sun shine down won't climb any high thing while the sun shine...
The Bad Man has come to town.

*Jadehand's motion of his hand stops just short of bringing a weapon level to the man's head. Almost as quickly it is back in it's place on his hip, and his hand is extended in greeting.*
"Why Mr. Jedi, it's a pleasure to have you back. I've heard so much about you.
The locals appear to have seen someone matching our lovely's description. It also seems that the local... constulbury wondered off with an oddly attired woman over his shoulder. I understand he is not a pleasant fellow. Seems we may want to have a... conversation with him. Hopefully my... favourite lady is unharmed. It'd be a shame for such an uncared for officer to suffer from a dreadful case of lead poisoning. We should make sure all of our Tree folk are appropriately attired so as not to draw unwanted attention."
*The men shake hands and wander over to Aluminum who remains tied to the hitching post, with Captain TRM still slumpped over on top. JadeHand nudges TRM. He checks to make sure no one is wearing a red shirt before speaking*
"Captain, We've found something."

OOC: Red-shirt. Ha!
"I'm not sure who all has come across or where. It seems the portal puts us out in proximity, but not exactly the same place. I didn't see any horse tracks on my way in. But!" Grey slides his cane into a rolled up blanket on the back of a grey mottled horse and mounts up. His...rifle...is in a long holster to his right, the butt nearly reaching his shoulder. (It's a long rifle, my friends). "This should be fun!"

In Westworld:
From behind him, Jadehand hears, "Jade, I'm right here."
Jadehand spins about, pulling his pistol, only to find TheRealMe standing there in his cowboy outfit.
"That unconscious fellow up in Aluminum's saddle is Citizen, a businessman from Boros that we encountered. I hoisted him up there when it seemed like you were concluding your recon activities with the locals. So, you said something about a lawman and an oddly garbed woman?"
TheRealMe slowly draws each of his colts and makes certain that they are loaded and ready.
"Oh, and hello, Grey. Glad to have you here. It'll be just like old times!"
TheRealMe, Sheriff of Serenity County
