these people have star tattoos as well. i guess they aren't related to mr. valance??

"Joestar...Joestar... I don't know that family, but
then again I live on a ranch in the middle of no-
where. I don't know a lot of people unless there
is a lot of news about them."


"Truthfully... I don't know a lot about Mr. Valance.
But maybe in the next chapter, we'll find out about
those tattoos of his..."

Hi, Josh! Hi, dek-d! Bartender! A glass of milk for me... and for my pals, whatever they want! xD
I'm sorry, Josh! I didn't meant to scare you. (HUG!) I just googled those names, hehehe. You know, some of those were hard-working women. not just outlaws. If it's difficult for a man to survive and thrive in this savage land, could you imagine how hard for a woman is too? Those ladies needed to be extra-though to survive here...
Now I understand why you wanted to get the hell out of here...
Bartender!! Another glass, please!!
Cabootle!!! Does he bite?
Almost chipped tooth... 'been there... (glup)... A looong time ago, I was at a party with my friends, and everybody were happy, and then someone said: "Let's do a human pyramid!" So, I think nine of us did a human pyramid (and we were on all fours, not standing). Since I was petite, I was on top with my frien Rita. But then, one of the pillars (my friend Pepe) gave way! And everybody fell! I remember seeing everything in slow motion... the floor coming closer to my face, and I was like "AAAAAAAAAHH!!"
Fortunately, I just lost a very little tiny piece of incisive tooth. (Don't do that at home, boys and girls! And don't do that anywhere!)
I was just scared and I was crying like a little girl, hahahaha, and everybody was around me: "are you ok? how are you feeling? are you in pain?" But my friend Pepe was still on the floor, alone, all crooked (or twisted) and laughing quietly. Another friend, Laura, scold him: "What are you laughing at? Can you see Audrey almost lost her tooth?" And he said: "hahaha, I'm not laughing at her, it's just I'm in so much pain and I can't get up."
The worst part wasn't for me, it was for Pepe! The poor guy was almost crushed under the weight of all the comrades! Everyone helped him up, and thanks god nothing serious happened. At the end, everybody was laughing.
Well, that was my stupid story, hahahaha It was a pleasure to meet you and I'll see you around!

"Wow! Thanks for the drinks! That's awfully decent of you."


"Yeah it is tough out here, after'all with towns so few and far
between, it's easy for outlaws to thrive, if they're clever and
fierce enough. That's why someone like Mr.Valance is a big
help. But as they say "Be thankful we aren't getting all the
Government we're paying for"! Or maybe we'd be drowning
in lawmen."


"That sounds like a real strange story, Ma'am! You really
made a pyramid out of people?! Well I'm glad y'all are
okay. Be careful next time! Sometimes it's best to ignore
those random urges to do things... Then again I don't think
I even have enough friends to make a pyramid with them...
Maybe a small stack."


"Oh, are you leaving? It was a pleasure to meet you too,
Ma'am. Please come again real soon! It's always fun to
swap stories around the saloon!"

anyway...
I have already read your biography! you look so handsome in that picture! I didn't know you were a Bronc Buster!! when did you know that you have... "the thouch"? is it the same thing with bulls?

"M...Me? Handsome? Aw shucks..."


"I grew up on a horse ranch! So we figured out that
I had that special skill pretty early on. I'm sure that
it will be explained in a lot more detail later on in the
story though. It's not quite the same with bulls... We
catch wild horses for the ranch, but usually steer are
born and raised on ranches. There aren't a whole lot
of wild cows running around these parts."

I have another question for you... Do you believe in ghosts??

Loving the story so far, kinda on a Western kick at the moment (been playing some Red Dead Redemption).

“Hehe- Sorry, I just couldn’t help but feel cheered up. You little armored friend, Caboodle, she’s quiet lovely. I’m glad she has someone caring to look after her. I have a little, orange cat named Mangosteen, haven’t had him for long though. Someone abandoned him on the side of the road when he was little and he ended up following me home. My dad always says, ‘You can’t name strays, or else they’ll never leave.’ Guess that’s why I named him, hehe. Pretty cool name, I think. Just like Caboodle! Oh, and I wouldn’t worry about Mr. Valance, I’m sure he’ll warm up to Caboodle just like my dad warmed up to Mango!” -scratches head-

“Oh! I want to tell you before I forget. I have a cousin named Josh! He’s got a lot of tattoos, even two guns with a banner connecting them that says ‘Houston’, but he's real sweet. Houston? That’s my families last name, honest. We’ve all got some cool names, I think. Can’t go talking about them now though, I don’t think they’d approve of me being in a Saloon. Say… how old are you, Josh?” –looks at suspiciously-

“Er – one more thing. Ever head of lodestone? My Uncle once told people that people used to wear it on their person to keep ghost away. If you could get your hand on a small bit, I’m sure it’ll help – or at least offer some comfort. I’m scared of ghost too, but I’ve got Mangosteen to protect me. And, the old folks in my town say that ghost can’t cross moving water, so… yeah. Just thought it’d be helpful.”

“And I wanted to ask you to tell Maba something for me but…” –to embarrassed- “Never mind!”

"Oh? Are you sure you don't want me to pass around the message? Well... okay
then, but if you change your mind you know where to find me! Thanks for stopping
by..."
