[b]Cowboys from Hell // VR Simulation // 4:12 PM // Marshal JT. [/b]
[i]Commerce and cars created a white noise in the background of the city's marketplace in the poorer district of Padras, as the Frontiersman stood in the dead centre of the entire place, his ten foot tall suit of armour and blackened duster keeping him as the focal point to the curiosity that many of the beggars and low-class citizens had.
JT was visiting the city in the country of Cylak because he was bored of the Dojo's rolling hills and whining citizens, and wanted to return to a place where even the robotic police droids were programmed to not -blam!- with the common man. The majority wad full of junkies and wannabe gangsters, but they wouldn't deter JT. He grew up here, he knew Cylak. [/i]

-
[i]JT exits the sim and sprints to the Dojo gates. [/i]
-
[i]Charlotte is sobbing with a small cartoon like storm cloud over her head.[/i]
-
[i]"Charlotte!" JT called out as he sprinted over to her. [/i]
-
[i]Charlotte glanced at him before looking the other way. Her voice is hoarse and quiet from yelling and crying.[/i] "Hi, JT."
-
[i]"Charlotte come on babe, please. I don't care what you are, I care who you are." [/i]
-
[i]Charlotte remains sitting.[/i] "I-I yelled at Iso...."
-
[i]"Who is Iso?" [/i]
-
[i]Charlotte sniffles.[/i] "My little sister."
-
[i]"Damn... I'm sure it'll be good between you guys." [/i]
-
"I told her she was useless and couldn't defend her friends. I brought up two of her friends that died."
-
[i]"...Okay that's bad. But you guys are sisters, she can't be mad forever. You two will make up, I promise. Oh, I got good news for you." [/i]
-
[i]Charlotte sniffles again.[/i] "Good news?"
-
[i]"Your brother agreed to let us have a night of love that you can remember, as long as we don't have sex and you sleep in my bed." [/i]
-
[i]Charlotte shrugs.[/i] "What's the point? He was right. I'm meant for punching and sex, so if you don't want to fight or have sex I suggest you go."
-
[i]"The point is that you'll have something to remember and you may actually enjoy it?" [/i]
-
"What's the point of remembering it? You heard what he said. I'm just an A.I. Why do you even care?"
-
[i]"Alright, I'm done. I care about you more then you know Charlotte. Probably the only man who does in this world." That said, JT stood up slowly, his depressingly sad tone of voice fitting to him somber mood. He did the best he could, but even that wasn't enough to please Charlotte. And so, he started slowly walking off. [/i]
-
[i]Chuck jogged up to JT and pointed at Charlotte with a worried expression.[/i] "What happened?"
-
[i]"I tried Chuck," JT said as he stopped, staring directly ahead, not even at the man. "But she doesn't want my love." And with that, the Frontiersman walked off. He had frontiers to explore, and if Charlotte wanted no part in it, he wouldn't force it upon her. It was true though, he was the only man who would actually care for her in the Dojo. [/i]
-
[i]Chuck tries to stop JT.[/i] "Hey, that's not true! Just the other day she was singing about you. Singing! She never sings!"
-
[i]"She's literally telling me there's no point in trying to get with her. If she wants me so bad, which I know she doesn't, she can come find me." [/i]
-
[i]Chuck stands in front of Charlotte.[/i] "The hell is wrong with you?!" [b]Charlotte:[/b] "My life is meaningless...if you could call it life." [b]Chuck:[/b] "Are you...it was Charlie, wasn't it?! Ugh! F*ck this, memory wipes are something I can do too!" [b]Charlotte:[/b] "Wait!" [i]Chuck places a hand on Charlotte's head and she falls asleep. Chuck catches up to JT, carrying Charlotte.[/i] "Hey, JT! If you just wait an hour she'll have no memory of what Charlie said. What do you say?" [i]Chuck smiles at JT nervously, trying to hand off the sleeping Charlotte.[/i]
-
[i]"For -blam!- sakes..." "Fine, give her here. And you have that mother-blam!-er work on a way to free Charlotte from her slavery, or else I'm done with her because I can't help." [/i]
-
[i]Chuck hands her over and sighs.[/i] "Yeah, Charlie can do that in a week by himself, but I'd need months of work with both of you together and doing what I ask."
-
[i]"-blam!- it, I'll do anything." JT grabbed Charlotte and put her over his shoulder, with literally almost no effort put into holding her. She was light to him. [/i]
