CUT TO: THE REALM OF IHIOSADORE
INT. UNKNOWN TOWN - LATE AFTERNOON
A COWGIRL RIDES INTO A TOWN ON A ROBOT HORSE. ALL OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE TOWN WHO ARE OUTSIDE AT THE TIME GAWK, GLARE, OR COWER IN FEAR AT THE SIGHT OF HER. THE COWGIRL TIES HER ROBOTIC HORSE TO A HITCHING POST, WALKS INTO A TAVERN, AND SITS DOWN AT THE BAR. THE COWGIRL LOOKS BACK OVER HER SHOULDER AT THE TAVERNGOERS AND THEY ALL LOOK AWAY. THE COWGIRL THEN LOOKS AT THE BARTENDER WHO HAS APPROACHED HER.
[Bartender]
What can I get you, Outlaw?
[Outlaw]
Water, if you got it. I reckon anything else would make me wish I had water instead.
[Bartender]
Comin' right up.
THE BARTENDER GETS OUTLAW A GLASS OF WATER WITH ICE AND PLACES IT IN FRONT OF HER ON A COASTER.
[Bartender]
Enjoy it. Oh, and please if you have to fight, take it outside.
[Outlaw]
I don't plan on it.
[Unknown Man]
(From outside the tavern)
Well, I'll be.
OUTLAW GLARES AT THE UNKNOWN MAN AS HE WALKS INTO THE TAVERN.
[Unknown Man]
What's this I hear? The infamous Outlaw has strolled into town and isn't looking for trouble? Don't tell me you've lost the stomach for it.
[Outlaw]
Nah, I'm just here on business, that's all. There's only one sleazeball I've got my eye on. I'm on a tight schedule. However, I can carve out some time to dance with you sheriff. I've got some moves that will knock you straight on your keister.
THE SHERIFF GLARES AT OUTLAW.
[Sheriff]
Why don't you just state your business so I can get you out of town as soon as possible?
[Outlaw]
I'm looking for Syllestir. Tracked him here from Oldbrooke. Anyone seen him?
OUTLAW TAKES OUT SOME EXPENSIVE COINS AND PLACES THEM ON THE BAR. AFTER A FEW SECONDS AN OLDER MAN APPROACHES THE BAR.
[Older Man]
Are you really as good as they say?
[Outlaw]
I reckon it might depend on the day but I'm still bucking after all this time. What do you think old timer?
[Older Man]
Syllestir don't stay in town. He camps out like the wild dog he is and only shows up in town to cause trouble. It's been that way for about a month. All the youngsters trying to make names for themselves have ended up in hospices or the dirt.
[Outlaw]
The story checks out. That's how it was in Oldbrooke however he screwed up and messed with the wrong people. They ran him out of town.
OUTLAW HANDS THE OLDER MAN THE MONEY, CHUGS HER WATER AND BEGINS TO LEAVE THE TAVERN.
[Outlaw]
It's been better than most places, gents.
THE SHERIFF FOLLOWS OUTLAW BACK TO HER HORSE.
[Sheriff]
You can't seriously be thinking that you're about to waltz out into the wilderness and catch that goon. He'll have the advantage of seeing you coming.
