Traitor Game: Marvelous Wild West!

[The Purple Skull]

"Great Scott! Is that... a TREE? You're not one of the ghosts of the Twin Pines, are you???"

He looked at Emmeline. "That must be some kind of whiskey you have here!"

"I AM GROOT!"

"Now, now. He's still recovering, Groot. Let's give him a pass on that."

Peter turns back to Doc Brown.

"My pal doesn't like getting referred to as a tree. Not your fault. His name's Groot. I'm Peter Quill."

[Wedge Antilles]

"I AM GROOT!"

"Now, now. He's still recovering, Groot. Let's give him a pass on that."

Peter turns back to Doc Brown.

"My pal doesn't like getting referred to as a tree. Not your fault. His name's Groot. I'm Peter Quill."

"Fascinating", Doc whispered to himself.

After a few seconds looking at the pair, he thought to himself, "now I know how George McFly felt, being awakened by Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan in 1955".

"I'm Doctor Emmett Brown. Forgive me for asking, but where are you two from?", Doc Brown asked.

[Anodyne]

A rather unmanly whine was heard from Peter. "Aw Aunt Maaaaay! MJ's just been feeling under the weather is all, least that's what she told me" he'd say, throwing his hands up in a shrug.

"You sure she's not standin' in front of a mirror quotin' Shakespeare?" Aunt May asked drily. "If she really wants to be an actress, she's gotta learn some discipline." But the severity of the old woman's tone was belied by the twinkle in her eyes.

The Captain whispers out of the side of his mouth.

"It's okay. I've got a tab."

He runs his fingers along the bar grabbing an idle bottle in the corner and sneakily stuffing it into his coat. With a raised hand he gestured to Mal Reynolds behind the bar.

"How you doing? Frank Castle. Couple of glasses of whiskey for myself, the fella in the gas mask and the big guy."

"Your 'tab' outran my forebearance last time you were here," retorted May Parker, deftly retrieving the bottle from under the Captain's coat. Placing a bowl of stew in front of Mal, she said, "You've done your fair share of work, and I thank you, Mister. You want whiskey, beer or sarsparilla?" She then turned to the other would-be freeloaders and said, "Anyone else wanta earn their food and drink, there's dishes that need washin' and a floor that needs sweepin'."

"By the way, anybody who ignored my request to leave their weapons outside can just put them in this here box 'til you're ready to pay up and leave," May added, pulling out the box and her shotgun from behind the bar. "Peter, I'm countin' on you as deputy to keep the peace."

Gyro was caught of guard. How did she know what he was thinking. By instinct, his face went red like a child caught taking a cookie from the cookie jar.

"What, huh? You and me dance? Really? You'd think I'd like that?"

"Well," Emmeline Frost-Summers pondered out loud, "you seemed a bit jealous watching me and the Doctor dancing".

"And your face is redder than... my late husband's eyes."

She thought again of Scott. About how even after years of living together and a brief time married, there was still a regret between them... of things left undone, of words left unsaid.

"Where did all that confidence go to? Tell you what, young man," she forcefully said, "I know the torture of regrets all too well, and I'll save you from one of them."

She took his hand and led Gyro on what could best be described as a broken square dance. Emmeline repeated what Doctor Brown did a few minutes ago, and she read Doc's mind for the rest. His mind was still hazy from the whiskey, and that combined with Emmeline's limited dancing skills led to an awkward dance through one song.

"No regrets, I hope?" Emmeline remarked to Gyro as she went back to the bar.

"May!" Emmeline shouted. "Or the new guy. A glass of water for me this time please!"

[Pharozonk]

She then turned to the other would-be freeloaders and said, "Anyone else wanta earn their food and drink, there's dishes that need washin' and a floor that needs sweepin'."

Without opening his eyes, Mordru snapped his fingers. Immediately, the brooms around May began to sweep on their own. Within minutes, the floor was spotless."A platter of your finest delicacies if you would." he said holding out his hands. His eyes remained closed.

[Thuro Pendragon]

A capable young man with a hardy look to him moseyed over to take his request. How hadn't he noticed him? Was age finally catching up?

"Oh, US. Great Lakes area. Travelled around a bit since then though. Yourself?"

He thanked Malcolm for the water.

I ain't been a young man in a long time son.



But to answer your question I fly around doin odd jobs here and there and every thing in 'tween. Got a print of it here.

She took both drinks and before walking away from the bar, she remarked "It may be the drinks getting to me but I can't recall your name."

"And if you're adventurous, I'll try to guess it later without you telling me."

​Used to fly with a telepath. Wasn't quite all there though. You're much more...wholesome by the looks of it. So you're power's back I take it?

Placing a bowl of stew in front of Mal, she said, "You've done your fair share of work, and I thank you, Mister. You want whiskey, beer or sarsparilla?" She then turned to the other would-be freeloaders and said, "Anyone else wanta earn their food and drink, there's dishes that need washin' and a floor that needs sweepin'."

"I'll take a beer, got any dark ones?"

[Josh]

After dancing with Emmeline, Gyro would have goofy smirk on his face,

"You sure she's not standin' in front of a mirror quotin' Shakespeare?" Aunt May asked drily. "If she really wants to be an actress, she's gotta learn some discipline." But the severity of the old woman's tone was belied by the twinkle in her eyes.

"I don't think you understand the plight of an artist. I for one have written a song. I'd been looking for feedback on it. Would you all mind if I sing it?"

[Mari]

Emmeline looked at him, read his mind lightly. "Malcolm," she said, after getting the information of his name, "yes, it appears my ability is somewhat back to normal, but I seem to lack the normal strength or force I could impose on others. I don't know if my recent... transformation is to blame."

She took a drink of water. "I leave the bar for one dance, and end up with two" she said. "It's been quite a bohemian experience here so far."

Then, her curiosity got to her. "So, tell me about this telepath you used to fly with. Why wasn't he, or she, 'all there'?"

[Indigo Al]

"Hellfire Club?" Moonstar said. Though the anger burned within her, she knew she had to control it.

She approached Baron Magnus coldly and calmly. "Hellfire Club ... I have heard of it. A man belonged to that organization. The same man who ordered the murder of my grandfather."

She looked Baron Magnus in the eye. "I am looking for that man. His name is Donald Pierce."

Barbara Norris Blake overheard the conversation. When the Native American girl and the Baron were done conversing, she said aloud, "Besides Death, there's another thing I know when I see it; a girl with vengeance on her mind. Wanna talk about it?"

[Chris Lang]

"Your 'tab' outran my forebearance last time you were here," retorted May Parker, deftly retrieving the bottle from under the Captain's coat. Placing a bowl of stew in front of Mal, she said, "You've done your fair share of work, and I thank you, Mister. You want whiskey, beer or sarsparilla?" She then turned to the other would-be freeloaders and said, "Anyone else wanta earn their food and drink, there's dishes that need washin' and a floor that needs sweepin'."

Danielle Moonstar turned to the old woman running the saloon. "What you request is reasonable. But do you expect everyone to honor it?"

She turned to face the old woman. "You are the owner of this place, is that correct? Tell me what you know of the people here. Of this Magnus, of the raccoon... and of Donald Pierce. Have you seen a man named Donald Pierce?"

[Thuro Pendragon]

Emmeline looked at him, read his mind lightly. "Malcolm," she said, after getting the information of his name, "yes, it appears my ability is somewhat back to normal, but I seem to lack the normal strength or force I could impose on others. I don't know if my recent... transformation is to blame."

"Where I come from there aren't a lot of telepaths, and this was a genius to boot. Government basically kidnapped and started cutting on her brain for some Gorram reason. She would flip from hyper-mathematics to nursery rhymes and back 'gain in the course of a few minutes. I sure hope they treat 'em better where you came from. Wait...that isn't what happened to you is it?
If it makes you feel better I exposed another thing they did that was similar, sent it across the whole 'verse. Wiped out one of their fleets too. Although that was more cause they were in the way.
She fine now case you wondering, the telepath that is."

"Thank you for sharing that story, Malcolm" Emmeline responded. "It wasn't the same as what happened to me, but similar."

"My husband and I were kidnapped and brought to an alternate universe, held captive and used for our powers to keep the earth from breaking apart. My husband died..." Emmeline's eyes teared slightly but she stopped it. "And in later events I turned into a goddess, but found that existence not to my liking, so here I am as a mere mortal again."

[Deadpooligan]

"Uh-huh. I see. So what are you the Captain of exactly?"

"Lots of things. But after two lawsuits and at least three ☠☠☠☠kickings, I'm just 'The Captain'. 'Star-Lord' though..."

He gestured to his tee-shirt, emblazoned with a black star representing the source of his power-- the Messianic Siddha-Complex, THE ALIEN HEARTSTAR OF THE SPACE BETWEEN GALAXIES.

Because even if he remembered anything beyond space leprechauns, he could totally explain that to Peter.

"I could probably fight you for it, but damn, now I just wish I thought of it first."

"You serious? My pal only says 3 words. Rather loudly. One of which includes his name. Ah heck, but you probably still got some dirt in your ears. His name's Groot. Me 'n him have been together since I was a lad. He's been sorta my guardian ever since my ma...my ma....you know what? I'd rather not talk about that. Groot's a good guy. Just don't call him a tree."

The Captain's face went a little flush. "Uh... I knew that."

"Your 'tab' outran my forebearance last time you were here," retorted May Parker, deftly retrieving the bottle from under the Captain's coat.

That old bat's still got her wits about her and she's been hitting the thesaurus as hard as The Captain's been hitting the sauce.

"Come on, please? What if I promise I won't flick the bar nuts at the bottles anymore?"

[Thuro Pendragon]

"Thank you for sharing that story, Malcolm" Emmeline responded. "It wasn't the same as what happened to me, but similar."

"My husband and I were kidnapped and brought to an alternate universe, held captive and used for our powers to keep the earth from breaking apart. My husband died..." Emmeline's eyes teared slightly but she stopped it. "And in later events I turned into a goddess, but found that existence not to my liking, so here I am as a mere mortal again."

I'm quite sorry to hear that, I'm no stranger to loss. What was being goddess like? Could peer across...what the term you used? Dimensions?"

[Wedge Antilles]

After dancing with Emmeline, Gyro would have goofy smirk on his face,

Doc got up and approached Gyro. "Fun, was it not? If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!"

"I don't think you understand the plight of an artist. I for one have written a song. I'd been looking for feedback on it. Would you all mind if I sing it?"

Doc chimed in, again. "I have a good friend, a best friend who was a musician as well. He struggled with confidence in his ability as well. May, for the sake of the young man, let him sing... his... song!"
