HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOSIE!Of all the GAH boards in all the world, you had to stumble into ours... Aw, gee, thanks...
By the way, that wasn't a stumble. That was a trip in a drunken stupor... but close enough!

I have something in mind soon, but I have to write it out...

OK, here's the story I promised, Jo. For those wondering, it's based on another story I wrote: Showdown at the Crooked M.
****************************
Noises, chatter, confusion ensued all around as Bill fell to the ground. He saw someone come up to him as darkness descended. ...
----------------------------
Bill heard a voice seep into his mind as he slowly came around. He could also smell perfume, food that was similar to the restaurant, and whiskey.
He opened his eyes and found he was in a living room dressed in late 1800s decor. "How did I..." he said but to pause when he saw movement.
Turning, he saw a woman place a damp cloth on his head. "Bill, you feelin' all right?" said the woman. He remembered this dame, especially with her slightly revealing, yet still modest, scarlet red saloon girl outfit.
"Uh, yeah, Josie. Don't tell me..."
"Yeah, got pistol whipped again saving my life from that drunkard," said Josie. "Ralph brought you here, but when we found out I didn't have any supplies to bandage your head, I told him to go to the mercantile for them. Have to admit, I didn't want this for my birthday."
Bill nodded softly. "So... did we get the drunkard?"
"Yeah, he's in the jail now for assaulting a special agent," she said, her voice slowly becoming more like honey. "Personally, I think he should get in trouble for harming someone I care for a lot."
Bill blushed a bit when she stroked his face softly. "Uh, Josie I agree... I, uh haven't be honest with you."
"Oh, please don't tell me you're going to faint again or are about to get sick," she said. "I remember the last time you were here. After the whole bit, I wanted to thank you for capturing that human trade ring, but you were still unconscious from the ether. Took you about half an hour to wake up and then you and Ralph got that note you had to leave immediately for San Francisco."
"Yeah, what happened to that cre... uh, unruly gentleman?"
"He woke up and claimed that you flew in a set of red longjohns and opera cape. The sheriff said that he was saying that because of what happened to him. He and his gang are in the federal prison. Locked 'em up and threw away the key. Personally, I still want to slug Mac Bloodstone myself for what he did to ya and Ralph."
"So do I," said Bill, but he looked in Josie's deep eyes and got lost in them. He had the same feeling he did the first time he met her. "Josie, I want to say this... uh... well, I've fallen for you and I wanted to see if, well... since it's your birthday..."
"You could kiss me?" she said with a wink. "Course you can, sugar. I've been wanting to since that case."
"Yeah, me too," said Bill chuckling softly. "And, well... I didn't just want to kiss ya, I wanted to court ya and marry ya..."
"Ah, well, first thing I want to do is give you a kiss," she said leaning forward. Bill got ready to kiss her when he smelled a familiar, sharp odor making him dizzy...
-------------------------
"Bill, can you hear me?" said Ralph as he waved a packet of spirits of ammonia under the man's nose. Bill had fainted about a minute earlier in the restaurant he was eating in with Ralph and Pam. While the two suggested Bill refuse the dinner, as he had been exhausted lately from too many scenarios, he came anyway, as it was one of the most popular steakhouses in the city.
"Ralph, is he coming around," asked Pam as Ralph put his coat over the still insensible man.
"I think so, but given how tired he's been lately, I'm not surprised this happened." said Ralph as he heard a groan. "Bill, come on partner wake up."
Bill stirred and opened his eyes. "Come on kid leave me alone with Josie huh?" said the man, trying to close his eyes.
"Sorry, can't do that," said Ralph, shaking Bill's shoulder. "You just passed out in the restaurant, and unless you want to go to the hospital, you'd better stay awake."
The agent groaned but, realizing the alternative if he went back to sleep, did as he was told. Sure enough, he was in restaurant.
"Damn... it had to be a dream again, huh?" said the agent. "I almost got my wish in the dream, and before you ask kid, it wasn't quite the same one I had about the west. Not that I want to wear that outfit again."
Ralph and Pam smiled and shrugged their shoulders in sympathy, but didn't say anything else. Both knew this was Bill's way of trying to make light of the situation.
Just then, the hostess rushed up to the trio with a damp cloth. "Here's the washcloth for your friend. The paramedics are on their way to the restaurant," she said glancing down at Bill, smiling. "Ah, you're awake. Don't try to get up, because we don't need you to faint on us again."
Bill paled slightly, causing the other three to frown. "Bill, you all right?" said Ralph, hoping Bill wasn't going to throw up.
"I'm fine," said Bill as he continued to look at the woman. She was wearing a low-cut but modest scarlet red saloon gal outfit, as it was her work attire at the restaurant. "Uh, ma'am what's your name?"
"Josie," she said simply.
Bill smiled softly as the paramedics arrived. After being checked out and after Bill refused further treatment, he went back over to Josie. "Can I ask you a question?" he asked and she nodded. "When do you get off work?
"In about an hour... why?"
"Would you ... uh... like to go out for coffee? That is, if you're not dating or..."
The woman smiled. "No, I'm not dating or married. Yes, I'd like that, especially since it's my birthday," she said with a twinkle in her eye... as if she knew he was going to ask that.

I am sure MyTatuo will tire of it after a while and change both of our titles back. Mine was MelMac's Bi+ch for quite a while, but then he changed it to my deserved title of WIZARD OF THE FIFTH RING. He does this to show that he is more powerful than us on here...you know...he is just jealous of how great we are.

People are going to read this in the future and say, "What the D@!#K is she talking about?"
Therefore, you've forced my hand. I now have to make your subtitle permanant. But I think Wild Bill would approve...

Keep going! In 12 minutes you went from a 25% warning to a 50%. Another post or two and you can be at the limit! Go ahead... push the limit...
And MyTatuo, if you prefer the new title you gave me... why not change the "d" in doink to a "b"? It will be more appropriate.

You are starting to sound like the old BATMAN television shows with all the word sounds you are making. I would tell you more about it and how it affected my life...but I am not MelMac. I know...I am really kicking the admins into warning overdrive. I wonder if I will reach 100% warned...doesn't that mean banishment though? I don't want banned before my glorious 5,000th post, which is coming up directly, you know. Of course, I DO cause jealousy in the admins...amazing I haven't been banned before now like I have been other places that are jealous of me. Be careful, Josie...you might be next...you cause more than jealousy in their loins. EDIT: See, I am already at 75% and didn't even do anything after this post...where I was last at 50%.

I'm starting to think HD's driving everyone bananas... again. I've got a challenge on the Pam board, and he's annoying the mods. Too bad I can't update profiles or you'd have a 68.5 percent on your warning.

Hey, MyTatuo...
I know it's November. I just happen to like being the Ghost of GAH Noir...
But I like the changing titles. Hey, maybe you'll change my title as often as billswoman changes her name.

Post by MelMac on Nov 2, 2006 22:47:54 GMT -5
Jo... I get that all the time with MelMac. And... for a day or so I was MelMac and my sub title was aka MelMac/Tigre. Not only was I repeating myself, I had a ghost haunt me (Tigre was a second name I had that has since been removed. TigreMalabarista is a totally different name).

Hey, where's Jo?
Did she go out and find a life or something? Abandoning her GAH homeys?

Post by MelMac on Nov 5, 2006 10:58:52 GMT -5
No, she'll be back (hopefully not with laryngitis when she reads all of my new story. Why... well, I'm about it right now.)

Laryngitis? What does she do, read them out loud or something?

Laryngitis? What does she do, read them out loud or something? No... it's something she likes to shout out around here, that's all I'm saying. Speaking of stories, I just read what you've got so far for "Whisper, In Smoky Light," Jo, and I'm looking forward to reading more of the story.
