[i]JT drew his revolver, loaded it with a blank, and passed it to Star, before loading one of his own with one. [/i]
[spoiler]Keep in mind JT's been at this one thing for about three years - Realistically he would have the edge, though in skeptical to see how quick Star is. [/spoiler]
English
-
Star couldn't help smiling and stood up, chuckling with the gun in hand. It was impossible to not notice the way her eyes glowed a bright orange now. "Hell yeah! Let's go, old man!"
-
[i]JT stood in the middle of the street and waited, gun by his side. "Yell 'Draw,' then aim." [/i]
-
Star took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a second, reopening with yet another change of color. Her blue eyes stared emotionless at JT while her hand remained motionless beside the gun now on her side. "....You're fast." She said calmly. [spoiler]How fast is JT? I haven't fully solidified her draw speed so I'm just gonna make it smaller than the fastest I know...JT.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]JT has no canon draw time, rather it works like this: If the other person is a normal person, his draw and fire time is a half of a second. It's physically possible. But if the other person is good, JT's arm is so quick it doesn't even look like it moved. The reason is because I know some cocky shit is going to try and beat JT with a newbie or Mon gunslinger after I've been doing this for literal years to earn my title, so that's the canon I have for his arm with everyone now. [/spoiler] [i]JT just waited there, silently, focusing on the weight of his gun. It felt different with one blank, but it was fine to him. [/i]

Edited by Stitch: 11/1/2017 2:08:58 AM[spoiler]Well then. Just say Star's a hair slower or somethin' I dunno. Guns are all Star has really.[/spoiler] "Draw." Star didn't even look like she moved, more like her arm teleported up as the gun fired.
-
[i]By the time that Star pulled the trigger, JT had two shots fired - One blank hit her square in the forehead, the other intercepted her shot as it was in front of her gun, effectively rendering it a useless bullet. He lowered his gun, chuckling slightly. [/i]
-
Edited by Stitch: 11/1/2017 2:17:19 AMStar's first blank stopped JT's first an inch before hitting her head and the second JT fired was intercept by the gun which Star threw forward straight at JT's open hand. [spoiler]This would've been hella fast.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Fair. Let it be known JT did in fact take the first shot, though. [/spoiler] [i]"Not bad, kiddo. Not bad." [/i]
-
[spoiler]Of course.[/spoiler] "That's bullsh*t...." Star's one eye got red.
-
[i]"Right, well, I'm forty one and have been doing this since I was six. Y'ain't too bad kiddo," JT said, walking over and taking his gun back. He reloaded thrm' with .44's again, walking back to his original spot. [/i]
-
"My father gave me my first gun at six...took me down to the range." Star shook her head, anger clear on her face. "I don't take losing like that well. Not the first time I've been out drawn, but..." She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to calm down.
-
[i]"Well I'm also a middle aged man and half robot. 'Course I have a natural advantage, I'm pretty much a walking hsck for duels. You're good and don't use Augs." [/i]
-
"I'm f*cking..! Gah!" Star punched a nearby wall before screaming in pain and clutching her hand. "F*cken....I'm just a child."
-
[i]"...I'm gonna go before I get shot, aight?" And with that, JT turned to walk off. He wasn't having any crazy shit. Nat might be able to put up with it, but JT knew when to take his leave. [/i]
-
"Wait...I'm sorry. I won't shoot. I don't even have a gun on me." Star followed, still holding her hand, eyes now yellow. "I just have a problem with thinking I'm a failure. I'm mad at me not you."
-
[i]"Kid that just ain't my issue. I'm a protector of the people, not a self help councillor." [/i]
-
"I-I'm not asking for help, I just...." Star sighed. "You hate me, don't you?"
-
[i]"Kid I see you the same way I see everyone else - I just don't care. So I don't hate you. Don't care about you on a personal level beyond yer safety either, but we ain't got no negative feelings here." [/i]
-
"I....That's confusing. Umm...So, you're not going to tell your daughter I did the pink eye thing and kinda flipped out and tell her I have a drinking problem, riiiight?"
-
[i]"Oh flirt with anyone else and I swear you'll have six bullets in your head by Thursday night. And I'm telling her - Wouldn't want her to get chested on by ya." [/i]
-
"C-Can I tell her instead at least? Please? And I swear I won't! I-I'll make sure not to drink outside of my ship unless I'm with her."
-
[i]"I don't give a shit about drinking, but cheatin' is a new low entirely. And the fact you're getting a moral lesson from me is odd. Go tell her, NOW." [/i]
-
"Okay! I didn't know that was considered cheating, but now I know! I'll go tell her! Just don't f*cking kill me, okay?! I'm not immortal like everyone else here..."
-
[i]"Nobody's immortal, just gotta have a big enough bullet or enough magic. And I ain't gonna kill ys." [/i]
-
"I-I'll go tell her now..." Star walked off with her head hung low to go look for Nat.
