[The raccoon leads Jinx on quite a difficult chase, but he manages to keep up, unlike the others. He follows the 'coon until it jumps up into a tree.] * Jinx grabs a fistful of dollars and tosses them on the ground beneath the tree. * Jinx pants heavily. "Alright, shinies for you... lets deal." [There's some ruffling, and the ninjacoon pokes his head out cautiously. "I hear shinies!"] * Jinx puts away his gun and holds out his hand in a nonthreatening posture. "That's a gift. Let's talk." * Raccoon cautiously climbs down part of the tree trunk, and looks up at Jinx. "No try shoot me anymore?" * Jinx nods and keeps his hand out. "Deal. We thought you were something else, a shapeshifter." * Raccoon scampers down the tree and grabs the shinies, sticking John's gun in his belt. "Me? Nah. I be Rocky the ninja!" * Jinx holds some more dollars in his hand. "I'd like to get that gun. I'll trade you more shinies Rocky." (Or Gideon's Bible, whatever you like) *.* How many? ( And quite literally... how many? :P ) * Jinx looks at the pistol. "Huh, heavy pistol like that, hard to aim really... in the West we mostly prefer the lighter sort like this." Jinx points to his medium pistol. "But I like your style. I'll give you a hundred." *.* * Raccoon pulls the pistol out of his belt with both paws and presents it to Jinx. * Jinx pays the Racoon and takes the pistol. "Now, since I already gave you a bunch of shinies for your trouble, could you give me some information?" * Raccoon nods twice. ( Oh, all dollars, or kanmon too? ) (Dollars) ( Ok ) Alright, we're chasing some flying creatures, they carried a girl away, she'd probably be shouting. See them? * Raccoon nodnods. "Yeah! Yeah! I see fly waaaay up there!" He gestures. "Was carrying girl to home, I bet." * Jinx smiles. "Know anything about there home?" * Raccoon nodnods. "I know all about!" * Jinx grins. "Alright, lets find the party, I'll keep you safe and you can help us out." Only if I no get shot. * Jinx nods. "I'll stay between you and the guns." He then walks in the direction he thinks the party stands. * Raccoon nods and follows, keeping up quite easily. Oh, and Rocky, my name is Errant Hare, or Jinx. Tell your friends that I'm a good guy and Injuns, people who look like me should be treated well. * Raccoon nodnods. "I tell them! Lotsa shinies!" * Jinx thinks for a moment. "But don't tell them quite how generous I am... Unless you want them to know how many shinies you have." Oh no! No, I no say that!
