The Plot

Welcome to the city of New Pheonix. The year would be 2612, if we were still on earth, but as far as most of us are concerned, It's the year 150 A.L The A.L stands for After Landing. See, we ******** up our good lives on earth in the 2430's. After the fourth world war, and the second nuclear war. Earth was practically uninhabitable. So those who remained decided it would be best to scatter in to the stars, sending most of the population in to stasis. The lightly manned crews of these ships did everything they could to find habitable planets to help humanity live on. You ended up on the world the people called Aquestial. There were large bodies of water, much like earth, and they chose the most suitable habitat. But now the populations were expanding quickly. So brave volunteers decided they would go settle the west, like the people of earth did long ago. It's been almost 40 years since we've pioneered the west. But still we discover more and more about it.

O.O.C -Thread

Let the hootin' an' hollerin' begin!

Shae O'Rordian - The School Teacher

Shae sat outside the little one room school house, watching the sun rise above the horizon in the Eastern sky. The town seemed to be asleep for the most part. Though there weren't many cows around the little town, the ones that were up could be heard along the breeze.
With her white cotton dress tucked around her ankles as she sat on the stoop, she pulled her long red hair back off her shoulders and twisted it into a bun, securing it with the only four bobby-pins she had left. She'd have to buy a comb from the general store eventually. Seconds after pulling the hair back, a few strands of hair refused to stay in place and fell down around her face, framing it flawlessly.
Despite the new day, it was already threatening to be a hot one. Lord, she could go for an air conditioner, but that was back when things were simpler...Funny, history repeatin' itself like it was. She vowed if things changed, never to teach history the way she was forced to learn it.
Sighing, she moved from the stoop, her little 5'2 frame easily rising form the stone steps, as she stepped inside, to open the door and air out the school house. She wasn't sure at this point if it would do any good, but the idea that it might seemed more joyous than the thought it might not.
"Miss Shae," she began to say to herself. "You are one optimistic, young school teacher." Chuckling, she folded one of her lesson plans and used it to fan at the little beads of sweat that were quickly forming before dripping down between her ample cleavage.
Yeeeeap, today was gonna' be a hot one...

Sheriff Natasha Kerensky

Natasha always seemed to be one of the first to rise, and possibly the last to go to bed at night. Some of it was the Job, the rest was just the fact she had gotten used to functioning on 5 hours of sleep. Life hadn't always been easy when she was an outlaw. Constantly worried about someone in your posse trying to get ahead in life, Bounty Hunters trying to pick you off, or just plain getting ready early in the morning to rob a bank or something of the sort. As much as she tried, she couldn't seem to break that habit.
As usual, her attire consisted of the light blue button up shirt, she had the lower two thirds buttoned, but she left the top unbuttoned. She tried it all buttoned up on multiple occasions, not only was it uncomfortable and too hot, she didn't like the way it looked either. Also this left just enough cleavage to make it suggestable, but not enough to really give the men a show. She wore A light pair of tan cotton pants, covering up the top half of her boots. Her hair was held back by a plastic hair clip, and she wore her tan cowboy hat. Unlike the rest of her outfit, this was worn and showed years of use.
As per her normal routine, she passed by Miss Shae's school house. "Good morning Miss Shae, how are you doing today?" She asked leaning against the frame of the door. She took her hat off, holding it in her left hand. This was one of her favorite parts of the day. Miss Shae always seemed to bring out the best in her for the day ahead.

~Blacksmith~

Jake had been up quite early that morning hard to work on making different things for the town,Including an old revolver.The metal was simple to melt down for each piece and putting it together was quite simple with the tools he had.With it assembled and working he set it out to the side of the anvil."Sure is tiring."He commented to himself grabbing another piece of iron setting atop the hot coals he had already ignited earlier that morning.With it red hot he grabbed his hammer and moved it quickly onto the anvil where he started to hammer it into the shape of a knife blade.It took three strikes before the metal shifted and shaped correctly.With it finished he set it into a barrel of cold water letting the steel cool.

With the job done for now he took of his Leather apron and set it on the hanger washing his hands and face and slipping on his cowboy hat when he was finished.The job hours were long and the heat from inside and outside didn't make it any easier.Fixing shirt he grabbed his newly made gun slipped it into his pocket and pushed open his door making his way down the dirt road taking a stop in front of the school house to say hello to the two ladies that were there."Morning Miss"He said giving a nod toward the school teacher."Hello Sheriff."He said giving her another nod touching the brim of his cowboy hat in respect.

Shae O'Rordian - The School Teacher

Shae turned her head just as she saw the pretty little Sheriff rest against the frame of the door.
"Mornin' Sheriff," she greeted with a kind smile. She opened the last window in the school house and proceeded to dust her hands off, before moving a curl from her face as she wandered closer to the sheriff.
"You know, I kinda' like it when you stop by every morning. It's a nice little ritual and a nice smile to greet someone with," she complimented.
"G'morning to you too as well," Shae said, addressing the blacksmith the town was beginning to adore. "Y'ou're lookin' mighty handsome in this heat here, Mr. Connor's," she flirted with a grin.
As he drew nearer, she offered the same kind smile she shared with Sheriff Natasha.
"I was just tellin' the Sheriff here, that she should come by every morning and start my day with her pretty smile. Don't you agree?" she asked, placing a hand on her hip while she put the blacksmith on the spot.

Sheriff Natasha Kerensky

Natasha couldn't help but feel her smile widen a little at miss Shae's compliment. She placed her hat back on, just in time to look over and see the local blacksmith Jake. She returned the nod to him, gently touching the tip of her hat as well. There was always something to respect about a man who could smith as well as he did. "Mornin' Jake. Out for a stroll before the rest of the town really gets goin'?" She asked him. She was just trying to make some idle conversation, but when she heard Shae ask him her question. She couldn't help but turn a little red, bowing her head a little bit to hide it. The few strands of free flowing hair on either side, falling in front of her face.
Ever since she returned to New Phoenix, she loved spending time around Shae, maybe it was just her ever cheery attitude, or the way she was always trying to bring the best out of people. Natasha didn't know for sure, but all she knew was that Miss Shae, just like Jake and the rest of the town deserved the right to a safe existance out here in the west. She now did her best to uphold that, instead of cause chaos.

~Blacksmith~

Jake gave the school teacher a kind smile in return slipping his hat off his head for a moment and wiping the small amount of sweat that had accumulated on his forehead putting the cowboy hat back on to block his eyes from the hot sun again."Well Thank ye,But it might be the heat gettin to ya."He told her with a small laugh."You're looking mighty pretty yourself this mornin."He told her turning his attention to the sheriff when thinking about Shae question then turning to look at her again."It seems like a mighty fine way to start the day.Her smile could brighten anyone's day."Jake said to her with a smile.

Jake turned his head to the sheriff."A good mornin stroll after workin hard at night does a blacksmith good,Sheriff."He said to her slipping the hat off his head and wiping off his forehead again leaving it off in his left hand while his right hand remained rested over top the pocket that held the revolver he had made that morning

[Shy_Red]

Shae O'Rordian - The School Teacher

Shae looked over at Jake Connor's and simply shook her head lightly, her toes drawing designs in the dirt over her school house stoop. He had absolutely no idea how handsome he was. Neither did Natasha it would seem.
"Well," Shae sighed, while gently squeezing her pretty little hips through her white cotton dress. "I think you two should go finish that morning walk of yours and I'm going to finish setting up what little materials I have here in case any of the whopping four children decide to show up."
Truth of the matter was, the children would show up, but only when she rang the bell, which she would do in about fifteen minutes or so.
She just thought Jake Connor's seemed awfully enchanted with her friend the Sheriff.
"Oh, Natassh-I mean Sheriff," she said, her cheeks blushing ever so slightly. "Don't forget it's you and me tonight in a game of poker over there in that Saloon," the redhead chuckled.
