The New TV Tropes Western

Outside the tavern, Little Sunbeam - Kason Volena, monster hunter.

"Yes, which is exactly why we're still going" Kason said with an agreeing nod to Dusty. "So, did anyone get us some rides? A wagon?" the monster hunter asked, looking around at the others, "and if not, then where can we get those?"

Well, I don't really play poker anymore, so givin' away my usual tell ain't a big deal for me at this point. (Heidi says, shrugging.) My sister loves the game, though, and she was WAY better at keepin' a poker face...or a poker tail, I reckon, than I was. Heh, even our pa couldn't beat her a few times, and he was the one who showed us both how to play...

(She looks town the edge of town with a wistful, and almost bitter expression on her face for a moment before Kason asks about rides.) Oh, uh, you don't hafta git me one. I can just go on foot. I usually just run from place t' place anyway.

"Hmm... wouldn't mind meeting this sister of yours. Always on the lookout for skilled players. And yea, that would be good to have. A wagon."

Outside the tavern, Little Sunbeam - Kason Volena, monster hunter.

Kason looked at Heidi with a raised eyebrow, his expression a bit perplexed, but also a bit impressed. "If you're sure, but if it were me, I'd rather save my energy" Kason said with a slight shrug, before returning his attention to Dale. "Yeah, which is why we should have one... Doesn't look like anyone got one while I was getting the map" the monster hunter commented, glancing around again.

"Well then, we'll just have to go get one" Kason stated, and started to head down the road to search for a trader that would have wagons.

"Of course, a wagon must be expensive," says Bill. "Think we can afford one if we all chip in?"

"I'm not a man who's afraid to share his wealth. I can definitely help pitch in with the wagon."

Yeah, I can chip in, too. (Heidi says.)

"Me three," says Ben.

Walking around town, Little Sunbeam - Kason Volena, monster hunter.

"Good to hear! I'll chip in too, of course. Though... I don't actually have a whole lot of cash, right now" Kason admitted a bit awkwardly. Having spent the last year trying to track the whereabouts and movements of the doctor and the rest of B.O.S.S. had put Kason's actual monster hunting on a bit of a back burner. He still took jobs where he happened to come across them, but he hadn't been specifically looking out for monster hunting jobs, so he hadn't done nearly as many in the last year as during his years of hunting before.

After a bit of wandering, one place caught Kason's attention, as there were at least a couple of wagons parked around the backside of the building. "Aha, there" Kason suggested, pointing it out. He couldn't tell from this angle if it was an actual trade post or not, but if whoever owned the place had multiple wagons, then maybe they could convinced to sell one for the right price anyway. So, the monster hunter made his way towards the building.

Seems like as good a place as any. (Heidi says, moving toward the wagon place as well.)

"Looks like they have what we need," Dale says as he goes with the others to the store.
