Dig Your Own Grave RP

Outlaw
"Sure thing amigo. You can bunk in there, which used to be the bunkhouse before the new one was built so has bunks for ya", she pointed her cigarette towards a small building. "Or if you really want to you can find somewhere on the ground out here, but I wouldn't advise that. You can just grab the blanket and pillow off of the bunk you claimed in the bunkhouse for whatever you choose." She added, popping her cigarette back in her mouth and glancing at the sunset, which had faded to only a dim haze on the horizon line.

Edelweiss
"You can bed down with me in my cabin out there on one of the spare beds" she pointed to a good sized cabin sitting close by the kitchen, "and Walt can choose any bunk that isn't already claimed in the bunkhouse there." She said with a smile. "There's blankets and such on the bunks already." She added to Walt.

Johnny
"Thank you." Johnny went back to the bunkhouse and gathered up his stuff. He tied his pillow and supplies up in the blanket and carried it to the old bunkhouse. The old bunkhouse was pretty barren, with empty bunks lining the walls. Johnny picked one in the back and undid his bundle. He stashed his stuff on another bunk and layed his blanket over his. After a minute of consideration, he left the pillow on the floor. He crawled onto his bunk and curled up.

Outlaw
She glanced again at the horizon as the shadow battilions marched their way over the land to cloak it in darkness while the first few stars began to blink sleepily in the rapidly darkening sky. She dropped her cigarette and ground it into the dust with her boot toe, then simply stood for a minute, feeling the gentle night wind and listening to the loons singing on the distant lakes. "Almost time..." she said softly to herself, and walked over to the side door leading to the kitchen and entering it as the coyotes began to wail their serenades. She closed the door behind her gently, then retrieved a tin cup from the kitchen and poured herself a cup of coffee, seating herself silently next to Sandy.

Sandy
He gave a small start as Outlaw slipped in through the side door with minimal sounds, and got herself a cup and some coffee before sitting down next to him. He studied her scarred, wind-browned face from the corner of his eyes, trying to figure her out better. The ice blue eyes gave away no feelings, and neither did the rather thin face. He was left to wonder all the more about her and what lay behind the studied coldness.

Walt
"Alright. I'm off to bed, then." Walt stood and nodded to Outlaw, then went outside to the bunkhouse and picked a bunk. Within minutes of laying down, he was asleep.
Cherry 
Cherry remained in the kitchen. She took a seat at the kitchen table and mentally groaned. It was starting to feel too warm again, but she wasn't going to run outside a second time and draw suspicion.

Outlaw
She watched Walt then took a couple sips of coffee quietly. She glanced up as she put her cup down and met Edelweiss's accusing gaze. She gave a small, almost discernible shrug and dropped her gaze as Edelweiss crossed her arms and stared at her sharply. She took another drink of coffee to hide her small grin. Irish temper in that lass for sure, she thought to herself.

Cherry 
It was hard to pretend things were fine, but she managed. "I'm going to head off to bed," Cherry said. 

Outlaw
"Night Cherry." She replied quietly to the woman's words as she set down her coffee cup. She glanced over at Kitty and asked, "Are you wanting to spend the night here, Kitty? There's room in Edelweiss's cabin for you as well."

Cherry
"Night," Cherry said as she left. She paused at the door to the small cabin  - the air had gotten cooler when the sun went down and it felt really nice. Cherry entered the cabin and took in the cozy atmosphere. She found one of the unoccupied beds and took off a few uncomfortable layers of her dress, then got into bed. She lay there for awhile, staring up at the ceiling and shifting to find a comfortable position. At last, she drifted into a light sleep.

Kitty
She snapped back into reality when Outlaw called her name, realizing that she had just been standing there awkwardly for quite a while. Her brain took a minute to process the question, and then she responded after looking out the window and seeing how dark it was, "I think I'd better if that's alright."

Outlaw
"Just head out to the cabin out there where Cherry went and find yourself an empty bed. Blankets and that are in there." She directed Kitty then finished her coffee. Sandy shifted slightly next to her and murmured in a voice only she could hear, "I want in on your plans for tonight." She studied him a moment then mumbled back, "Go saddle your horse, grab your guns. We're riding out soon as everyone's settled it."

Sandy
He nodded slightly and stood up, walking to the door to the bunkhouse and quietly making his way to his bunk, where he silently took his rifle and strapped on his second pistol as well as stuffing his pockets with extra bullets, then slipped out and went to saddle the chestnut pain mare he'd been leading as a pack horse that day.

Edelweiss
She watched Outlaw and Sandy suspiciously as they seemed to plot something, then as Sandy left she settled a stern gaze on Outlaw, who was calmly sitting in her chair ignoring her.

Johnny
Johnny stared at the far wall for what seemed like forever, just waiting for sleep to come so that he could escape his life for a few hours. He eventually did manage to doze off, and he only woke up once that night.

Kitty
She nodded and headed off, but she slowed her steps when she noticed Outlaw and the man sitting next to her whispering to each other in her peripheral vision. She couldn't quite make out the words, but she knew she wouldn't sleep if she didn't figure out what was going on.

Outlaw
She noted Kitty slowing her steps, and waited for the questions without having seemed to notice Kitty's slowing steps. Edelweiss began cleaning up the kitchen, putting a pot of water on the stove to heat for washing the dishes. She brought the dishes over to the wash tub and cleaned up the cookies while waiting for the water to heat, then smoothed the deep blue fabric of her dress before shooting Outlaw another disapproving glance.

Kitty
When she saw the man Outlaw had been talking to leave, she quietly followed behind him, watching him saddle up his mare and get ready to leave, taking careful note of the gun strapped onto his saddle. Just as she was about to take a couple steps closer, she heard footsteps behind her.

Outlaw
She stood up as Kitty left, putting her empty cup in the sink. She turned to meet Edelweiss's stare and quietly murmured, "I'll take care of my hands in the morning. Sleep good lass." She tugged Edelweiss's hair gently as the girl gave her a hug after sighing in defeat. "You be safe Outlaw." Edelweiss told her sternly. She smiled and slipped out into the bunkhouse, quietly gathering extra ammo and her rifle, then slipping out on silent boots, closing the door noiselessly behind her and slipped up just as quietly behind Kitty. "Curious are we, Kitty?" She asked with amusement.

Edelweiss
She took the pot of hot water off of the stove and began to wash the dishes and dry them. She then moved quietly around the kitchen, cleaning the table and counters and ensuring stuff was in order for tomorrow's breakfast.
