@Eviledd1984, not a stupid idea at all. I'm still a newbie at Discord, so don't tend to think about using it. But it is pretty nice for quick OOC chat. The only reason I got a little hesitant is that I was in another RP that started using it and it made the players that didn't use Discord get so disconnected from the planning they both ended up dropping out. But if everyone can use it, that doesn't seem to be an applicable concern here. :)

@Kelewen

This is one of the reasons I don't like it.

I have no problem with discord. I tend to log into the channel and catch up when I can. I don't have time to simply idle in the channel and pay attention to a conversation. I just hate coming into the channel and finding 200 posts on what type of pizza someone likes or their favorite musical performer....but buried somewhere in these reams of irrelevant babble is an important quote about the Role Play.

Phineas felt good about himself in this strange land. This was the first time since he’d arrived in Texas that he felt comfortable about who he was. He was ready for whatever adventure lay ahead of him. He walked over to the bar next to the Cree man and tossed the shot of whiskey back. “Ahh! That was smooth. Gotta love a sharp bourbon. Good stuff.” He looked up at the man upstairs, “Thanks Mr. Grainger, lifting the empty shot glass with a smile.”

Billy Kingsley had picked himself up off the floor and listened to what was going on. He saw the Cree man put his weapons away and the others take their shots of the whiskey. He smiled, figuring it was his turn to take a shot. As he approached the bar, he looked up at the saloon owner, “Thanks Mr. Grainger!” Billy smiled up as the man as he retrieved the shot glass. He didn’t always receive polite or congenial treatment from white man and appreciated the gesture immensely. Like the others, Billy tossed the shot back and put the glass on the bar. HE looked at Finney, “You got that right. That whiskey is smooth.”

This is something right up my alley. I'll keep an eye on it.

You may have to edit your recent post? I'm not sure about who you think is grabbing Mistikhoman.

@BingTheWing

I deleted Billy's paragraph. It was incongruent with the flow of the story.

Phineas Eugene O’Connell

Finney felt good about himself for knocking out Mr. Logan. He wasn’t sure he had it in him. Everyone he met was so very rough and aggressive. He just didn’t feel comfortable yet, but seeing Mr. Logan taking a nap on the wooden floor of the saloon, boosted his confidence. “Well, looks like Mr. Logan has decided to remain after all.” Phineas smiled at that comment, watching Logan’s thugs rush for the door; all except the one who grabbed Mistihkoman.

Phineas pulled out a book of parchment papers, quill and ink bottle. He began to write notes on the fight; how it started, who did what and how the various folks in the bar reacted. He loved it. All he knew was, he felt fear. But that fear motivated him to smash the bottle over Logan’s head. He wondered if the others felt that fear. Also, if they didn’t experience the fear, where did they get their drive to fight. He made a mental note to ask his compatriots if he had the opportunity.

Did you mean Taylor? Cause he's in the fight.

@Kelewen

Yea, I must have missed it. :(

Finney was excited to watch the fight, but honestly did not want to be part of it. He hid behind the bar with Mary, peeking over the edge. Occaionally, he looked up at the man up stairs who appeared quite interested in the fray, but did nothing to stop it. That was curious to Phineas O’Connell. He took note of the fight; attempting to remember as much as he could in order to record in detail for the written record. His view was hampered by Mr. Logan himself staggering back into him. Instead of getting into the fight, per se, Finney picked a bottle up off the bar and smashed it over the top of Mr. Logan’s head as hard as he could, dropping the no good thief to the floor.

He saw the large black soldier throw a one-two at one of Logan’s men, knocking him back on the floor. Then a second man drove one into the black man’s stomach, making him bend over. This would have been a good time for the curly blonde haired man to drive a knee into Billy’s face, but he failed to eliminate the cavalryman from the fight. Instead, Billy drove into the curly haired man pushing him right across the table he had just got up from.

Billy gathered himself looking around the room for another target. He saw the large angry man grab Misty Koman from behind. Billy tried to make a move for the man, but someone else got a punch into the side of his head, dropping Billy to the floor. He immediately rolled with the force of this punch and rose back up to his feet to continue the fight. It was the first man he knocked to the ground who punched him. He had gotten to his feet and was ready to take out some vengeance.

Finney noted that the southern gentleman had not entered the fight yet. It appeared it was only the native and the African soldier who were fighting. Although he knew why he didn’t want to fight, but was wondering why the others were not.

Seems reasonable... we can assume Taylor is (was) in that empty chair and that Mary, before she stepped away, was in another chair in that little gap. :)

@Kelewen

It seems there should have been six chairs instead of five.
