Boat untangles Syk from the black back cloth onto which the sunset was being projected and dusts her down, carefully swapping her worn hat for the stunt hat.

Boat sniggers as he boards a time machine with the Win and switches on the CGI.

Watches as the time machine rattles apart and collapses

Were you going somewhere?

Boatman · « **Reply #3952 on:** October 20, 2014, 03:23:59 PM »

Hmm... Is this the past?

Dys Astyr · « **Reply #3953 on:** October 20, 2014, 03:36:56 PM »

It's the past where you don't have the Win.

But I'll buy you a drink to make up for it.

Boatman · « **Reply #3954 on:** October 20, 2014, 03:43:39 PM »

So this Win I have here is the future Win. Hmm... does that mean there is a past Boat roaming around somewhere and a past Win?

Boat thinks he might need that drink and accepts.

wander · « **Reply #3955 on:** October 20, 2014, 03:52:41 PM »

So we have a Win in the past and you have the future Win here?

*shoots the future Win and takes the current one, thus changing time that I have the Win and Boatman was never able to be back in time with it, putting the timeline back to normal*... and a deep breath out :)

So yeah, I have the Win

Boatman · « **Reply #3956 on:** October 20, 2014, 03:57:39 PM »

"No, no," Boat says with concern in his eyes. "You have put the Win into a time loop we may have to go round forever.
Thee is only one way out. We'll have to go back further and re-route avoiding this ending.

Where's that drink?"

Dys Astyr · « **Reply #3957 on:** October 20, 2014, 04:08:34 PM »

Pushes a whisky into Boat's hand

No time loops in my town, and no one winning but me.

Flashes roguish smile and tucks the Win safely away

Boatman · « **Reply #3958 on:** October 20, 2014, 04:29:04 PM »

Boat downs the whisky.
Shudders.
That's good!
Tucks Syk safely away on the boat.
Thinks - just a matter of staying awake and snaffling Win.

Dys Astyr · « **Reply #3959 on:** October 20, 2014, 04:33:09 PM »

Blinks and ponders the sudden change from old west to boat, pats pocket to make sure the Win is still safely in her possession.

Are spurs still appropriate?

Boatman · « **Reply #3960 on:** October 20, 2014, 04:42:04 PM »

The boat is on a trailer. Waiting for tide to come in.
Spurs...? You got boots too?

Dys Astyr · « **Reply #3961 on:** October 20, 2014, 04:48:12 PM »

Naturally, have you ever tried to wear spurs barefoot? Doesn't work very well.

They're even cowboy boots, as appropriate to the rest of the evil sheriff get up.

The ching-ching noise is most amusing though, especially as it aggravates a lot of people.

Boatman · « **Reply #3962 on:** October 20, 2014, 04:51:24 PM »

I thought they put the ching ching on afterwards in the movies. Where the goody had the nicest ching.

Dys Astyr · « **Reply #3963 on:** October 20, 2014, 04:59:16 PM »

They very well may have.

Different spurs make different sounds though. Normal spurs with a small star make a light, high toned ching-ching, bull spurs have a lower chang-ting sound, and there are other kinds that I have never worn so I couldn't even say.

Heh... Why am I talking about spurs like a weirdo...

Boatman · « **Reply #3964 on:** October 20, 2014, 05:02:24 PM »

I am sure there is some evil master plan.
I am still in Roman times where they didn't even have stirrups.

Dys Astyr · « **Reply #3965 on:** October 20, 2014, 05:06:07 PM »

Roman times? Don't tell me that time machine was your ride home...

Boatman · « **Reply #3966 on:** October 20, 2014, 05:13:49 PM »

Wine, olive oil, lounging around waiting for a good gladiator event.
No computers though... Just fancy water clocks.

Who's fighting today anyway?

Boatman · « **Reply #3968 on:** October 21, 2014, 01:48:34 AM »

Apparently someone they nicknamed the Spaniard.
Made some fancy speech standing on a block of wood to make him look taller.

wander · « **Reply #3969 on:** October 21, 2014, 05:52:43 AM »

Well while you guys talk about that, I'll just take this Win... :)

River · « **Reply #3970 on:** October 21, 2014, 06:37:24 AM »

Good show old boy, I'll take it from here.

Be a lad and lose for me?

wander · « **Reply #3971 on:** October 21, 2014, 08:51:16 AM »

Afraid not my dear, being I believe all sexes and genders are equal I cannot do the gentlemanly thing and lose for you...

So this here Win is staying with me, sorry :)

Boatman · « **Reply #3972 on:** October 21, 2014, 10:35:57 AM »

Well, the stay is over.
Had a nice holiday Win dear?

Good, then let's be off home to the boat.

Dys Astyr · « **Reply #3973 on:** October 21, 2014, 10:42:41 AM »

Blinks

Did you just talk to the Win?

Does it talk back?

Boatman · « **Reply #3974 on:** October 21, 2014, 11:08:04 AM »

You know how you can hear the sea when listening to a shell? (not artillery)
It's like that.
