Showtime Showdown (Reversed Story, BATIM + SB)

Chapt. 1 |☆| Part 2 - A Lonely Diversion

...Ow...

Bandit had landed full-force on his back, wincing as he felt a pain going down it.
"M'gunna feel that in the mornin'.." Bandit grumbled before slowly pushing himself up, shaking slightly as he got to his knees, then his feet.

"Hhooo, Note to self; Make sure y'don't do that again." The puppet chuckled, looking around.

Now this place seemed a little better! Tables and chairs, clutter that was more people stuff then ruined ceiling or shattered pipes, and lively posters illuminated with bright lights, alongside-
of course, the best addition to any lounge-
a dart board.

Wait, a dart board!
Bandit lit up, hurrying over to it with a "Woooehehee!!" noise, hopping slightly as he looked at it.
"Now, there's a familiar sight! Golly, I've not seen one of these in, like- Since the last time I was at the Saloon!" He chuckles, before looking around.

But... this was a lot lonelier then the saloon.
Back then, Darts was fun because he had people to watch him do it.

His expression dropped for a moment, before he glanced around.
"Well, I'll sure feel like a crazyperson, talkin' to nobody while I do this... maybe I can find somethin'?"
Or someone, he almost adds on. But- No, that'd get his hopes too high.

Bandit catches sight of some plushies, blinking a couple times as he sees them; A little demon plushie dropped on a table, a doglike.. thing?- plushie limp on a chair, and a plush that looked almost like a lady with horns discarded on the floor.

Now, who would just leave these out?
With a small smile, Bandit gets an idea, picking up each of the dolls to perch them on the table nearby the dart board.
"Now, you all can just sit here n' watch the master dart-thrower!" Bandit announces proudly, heading over to pluck the darts from the board.

"Never knew the actual rules, but everyone I used ta' see was always real surprised!"

Reeling up the first of three darts, He squeezed an eye shut, squinting his other eye to focus as hard as he could.

"Aannd... alley-oop!"
THWUNK!

Bandit's eyes popped open, an excited laugh leaving him when he realized he'd gotten a bullseye.
"Ha- HaHA! YES!" He hops proudly, pumping his fist in the air. "Did'ja see that?!"

No response from the plushies; That he expected, but he still snorted proudly in response as if he'd gotten some form of response.

It helped him to feel less alone.

Another bullseye from tossing over his shoulder, and with the last dart he nearly hit his hat with a trick before deciding to just.. toss it normally.

This was... not as fun as it usually was.
With a sigh and a stretch, he glanced around.

Nothing else to do.

The excitement wearing off left Bandit in a sort of state.
Yet, while he initially planned to just hurry up the steps and keep looking around...

"...Ahh, why not?" Bandit muttered to himself, heading over to the table to gather the plush trio.

He wasn't sure what to carry them in at first;
His vest had pockets, sure, but if this was anything like Showdown Valley he'd need to carry them in something they wouldn't fall out of.

Under his hat? No..
In his bandana would be good, but he couldn't fit all three.
He didn't exactly have pockets on his pants, either...

After a moment of thought, he decided that vest pockets it was for two of them; Carefully tucking the floppy-snouted fella in one pocket and the demon in the other.

As for the lady one, there wasn't enough room- She could fit snug in one of the pockets with the other two plushtoys, but that'd require a lot of squeezing and after giving these three some kinda' personality it felt kinda rude to squish 'em together.

In the end, he tucked the plush in his bandana. It'd hold her well enough, after all!

"There we are, nice n' set up!" Bandit chirped, hopping on his feet a bit before turning to the steps.

...Right, time to go up.
"Hang tight, everybody!" Bandit announced, before heading up to the stairs and getting ready to climb.

He didn't feel safe, staying in one room too long- What with the knowledge that the ol' Faceless Bandit could be around here, too.

So, it was time to go- No matter how safe this room felt, it could never be too secure if other people weren't staying in it.
