It sounded like Mr. MacTunnag missed things back in Colorado too. Bullseye wondered why he had left, but he did not expect the other man to tell him why any more than he himself would say about his own relocation. Thankfully, they both seemed to be on the same page about that. "I 'preciate that, sir. 'S not somethin' I really like t' talk about." That certainly was no lie. He raised his eyebrows at the comment, until he realized that Mr. MacTunnag was joking. "Well, I don' 'spect everyone t' love horses much as I do, but I'd hope that they at least can give 'em a chance t' see jus' how nice they can be." He hoped people would do that for him too, but that was not something he would mention to Mr. MacTunnag. Putting his hands on his hips, Bullseye looked around, then said, "Hmm, looks like everythin's in place for now. But when you're ready t' finally get th' horses in, don' hesitate t' let me know. I'll be here ASAP t' help get 'em all settled in."

Stable Situation || MacBull

[bullseye-stoddard]

Even if he was feeling a little more at ease having been in town for a while, Bullseye still was a little wary of getting a knock on his door if he was not expecting anyone. But since so far nothing had come of his blurting out what he was to Annie, he was beginning to hope that it would stay that way. So he answered the door, relaxing a bit when he saw it was a lady that he had seen around the building before. "Yeah, that's me," he said, though when he saw what she had in her hand, his expression became one of confusion. How had she gotten his bandanna? The thought that he would lose one of his bandannas was surprising, considering he never took them off in public for fear of anyone spotting his Damzman mark. "Yeah…yeah that's mine," he said, reaching out to take it. "Thanks, but, uh, where'd you find it?"

If there had been any doubt about just how much Jessie was his guiding light, it would have been gone immediately upon Bullseye's reflection of just how much better he felt having her there with him. He was still never going to be at ease with what he was; even Jessie's presence could not change that. But knowing that she was there and she, as usual, seemed to have all the right answers went a long way to making him feel better. Any way to help him keep his hunger at bay without hurting anyone was more than worth a shot in his book. Even if the blood did not end up tasting so good, he would take that over any risk that he could lose control. Obviously it was a solution that plenty of other vampires would have come to on their own, but he naturally needed Jessie to guide him to it. Yet no matter how much Bullseye tried to tell himself he should be able to take care of himself, he could not help but fall back into the security of Jessie's help when she was offering it. "Oh I will, for sure." He returned her smile and put his hand over hers. "An' you know I can't ever refuse th' offer o' whiskey. Thanks so much, Jessie. You got no idea how much I needed this…how much I needed you."

As much as he was savoring the feeling of being inside her, knowing that he was pleasing her was even better. Hence why Bullseye had wanted her to ride, so she could do just what felt the best for her. And it was pretty darn good for him too, each roll of her hips pushing his cock deeper, and he was damn glad when she confirmed that she was close because he was plenty close to the edge again himself. "Thanks for the…mmm…compliments," he breathed, her having stated the very reasons why he knew it would be better for her to ride. He very much wanted her to come all over his cock, the thought of that pushing him right to the brink. In the hopes of getting her to do so, he gave her hips another quick jerk. "Yeah, 'M…so damn close too. Please darlin'…come wit' me. Come wit' me."

Direct Connections for Bullseye!

Pete "The Prospector" Grammar -- Words cannot begin to describe how badly I need someone to bring in Pete! Bullseye had such a fraught relationship with him during their time in the gang, and to have him appear now would really throw my poor boy for a loop! And I can't imagine Jessie would be pleased to see him either! Also I know Pete would definitely end up causing trouble for the town's vampires so he would shake up things all across the board! Woodrow “Woody” Pride -- I know his bio doesn't have him as part of the Round-Up gang, but I would love it if someone wrote him that way! Bullseye has a great relationship with Jessie and a not-so-good relationship with Pete, so Woody could be somewhere in the middle, and maybe he and Bullseye can't quite see eye-to-eye. Tom Mater -- He seems the sort of guy Bullseye would love to hang out with! I could see them bonding over Mater having a farm, and Bullseye could reminisce about his own days with the horse ranch. His bio doesn't call for him to be a Magick, but if he was, that would add another interesting layer if both of them were Magicks but not out.

Great Characters I'd Love to See Around No Matter What!

Charles “Chick” Hicks -- I would love to have him around to have a feud with Lightning! Basil Rathbone -- I've contemplated playing him myself, but we all know I can't handle more than one character I'd love to see someone else pick him up too! And if someone brings in Dawson too, that would be even more perfect! Adam Beausoleil -- Another one I've thought about playing myself, but would also love to see someone else pick him up! I feel like he'd have a lot of angst over being turned into a werewolf and he'd have to learn to cope and be more friendly with the locals. Cassim Baba -- I've contemplated playing him too because I've always thought he was a cool character and I love the idea of him being a less-than-noble Indiana Jones type! It would also be great to find out just why he ended up being a treasure hunter: is there more for him to gain from it than just money? Kovu Otieno -- Yes I've considered playing him too because his conflict about going through with his infiltration is something I've always loved about Kovu. His bio doesn't call for him to be a Magick, but if he was a not out Magick, that could add a whole new layer to his conflict, especially if he was a "dangerous Magick"! Dan “Trusty” Elliot -- He'd be such a nice guy to have around! I can see him being someone most people in town know, and he HAS to quote "Old Reliable" as much as possible! The Spuds -- Come on, they'd be so cute to have around! And with the alien triplets? Even better!

[bullseye-stoddard]

If Bullseye could have blushed, he probably would have at her comment. While he had brought Mary home not too long ago, he was not exactly picking up ladies every single time he went out. Not for a lack of being noticed--he usually did get more than a few looks thrown in his direction--but because he was too nervous about revealing himself to be sleeping around constantly. "Aw gee, thanks for th' compliment," he said, ducking his head down under his hat a bit, "I wouldn't wanna ruin that for you either. Bet a pretty lady like you has got plenty o' potential, erm, dance partners." He had assumed she had been there longer than him, and he was not wrong. But then again, most vampires could be somewhere for only a few days and would blend in better than him. He had also assumed she too had been "around long," but her question and her interest in the places he used to frequent made him wonder if he had been wrong on that assumption. "Yeah, I been 'round for almost two centuries now. Th' hat ain't jus' for show. 'M a genuine Ol' West cowpoke. So I seen plenty o' saloons an' speakeasies in my day. Th' ones these days are definitely cleaner though, an' better managed. But sometimes it was a bit easier t' feed back then, since plenty o' humans were killin' each other in fights over th' silliest things inside those places, so maybe it's a trade-off?"

Table for Two? | Mitte & Bullseye

[bullseye-stoddard]

"Erm, 'spose not," he reluctantly agreed, forcing himself to try and stay a little more still. He was mainly mad at himself anyway, and there was no need for him to complain when she was helping him out. Still, he could not refrain from one more gripe. "Jus' try t' save a li'l for us t' drink later, huh? I need it more on th' inside than I do on th' outside!" Obviously Bullseye was extremely grateful for her help, the help that Jessie always gave without question. She spent so much time looking after him and the rest of the gang that he was not sure if any of them would survive without her, and he really did not want to put that theory to the test. So when the chance for them all being able to be together forever was on the table, it seemed like an offer they should not refuse. Jessie did not answer, and while he hated to push her when she surely was weighing the question herself, Bullseye could not even think to accept Pete's offer if she was not also accepting. He hissed a bit as she wiped more at his wounds, then said, "Jessie, 'm sorry but…I gotta know. I gotta know what you think. 'Cause I wanna stay wit' th' gang forever if I can…but only if you're gonna be wit' us too."

Belle had not contradicted Opal's wish to care for horses, so Bullseye could only assume she would not mind if that was what her daughter ultimately chose to do for a job. At Opal's thanks, he gave another tip of his hat. "You're welcome, darlin'. Though maybe I can't teach you everythin' 'bout horses 'cause even after all this time, they still sometimes surprise me!" But he would certainly teach her everything he possibly could. He nodded in confirmation of Belle's question. The stables did indeed have lessons, though he himself was not one of the teachers. But for Opal, he certainly would change that. "We do, yeah. An' while I don' usually do th' teachin', I'd glady do th' honors for this li'l lady. Any time you'd like!"

Lead a Horse to Water *** [Bellseye]

[bullseye-stoddard]

While Bullseye did not need to shop for food for himself, he still dropped in to the grocery store regularly to pick up apples for the horses. Though he had to admit it was a little sad to walk past aisles of food that he could no longer eat. Some of the food items that had been invented in the last half century or so sounded a little strange, but even those things would have been interesting to try. Alas, that was not possible. Water was not one of those new-fangled things, but the fact that it now came conveniently in bottles never ceased to impress him. That would have been a god-send back when you had to spend time and effort trying to pump water out of a well. But impressed or not, he had no need to shop for water, so he was in the process of passing through the aisle when he saw a cart blocking the way. The owner promptly moved it, but he waved off her apology. "Nah, no need t' 'pologize, it's ok. I ain't in a hurry." That was when he caught a glimpse of the back of her shirt, and Bullseye blinked as recognition dawned on him. "Hey, wait a minute. 'S that say 'Magick Grand Prix' on your shirt? D'you got somethin' t' do wit' that?"

Supply Run || Bullz

It had not quite been a warm-up shot, but Bullseye went along with her assessment. "Yeah, 'course it was. We'll get 'em better on th' next ones!" He really hoped she would do better on the next one, wanting her to win on her own, but when she went and threw again, he started to think he would end up winning something for her. "Dang! Well, it wasn't that bad," he said, trying to downplay her miss, "I jus' know you'll get th' next one." He readied for his own second shot, and again tried to aim a little low. But this time, he aimed so low that he hit the balloon in the next row. Damn. Turning to her, he smiled a little sheepishly and admitted, "Huh, I wasn't even aimin' for that one! Guess I screwed up so much it actually turned out righ'!" He paused, then said, "Hey, if you'd wanna have my prize, you certainly can."

99 Balloons on the Wall & [Bulley]

[bullseye-stoddard]

Even if Bullseye knew she was not really complaining, he loosened his hold just a little. He was just so darn happy to have her with him again that he was feeling like if he let up holding her, she would disappear. "Sorry. 'M jus' so glad you're wit' me ag'in. I been so lost wit'out you, Jessie. I know I shouldn't be, but you've always been my guidin' light." He had missed her while she was gone, but he would never blame Jessie for leaving. With the gang all going their separate ways, Bullsye would not have expected her to stay with him. And at the time, he had been sad but had figured he could cope on his own. It had only been after Jessie was long gone that he had realized just how wrong he had been, but instead of trying to look for her, he just holed himself up with his grief. "Don' be sorry," he said as he too moved back, "I don' think any o' us knew jus' what t' do when we all went our separate ways. It ain't your fault I didn't do as well on my own as I should've." He nodded, appreciating her being with him again so much. "Thanks, I really 'preciate it." So that was how she fed. He knew that hospitals kept blood on hand, but he would have felt bad to try and take some for fear of leaving some human who needed it in the lurch. But if Jessie had some sort of connection for that, hopefully that meant no humans were being deprived. "Blood bags, huh? I always wondered what gettin' some o' those would be like. Ain't surprised they don' taste good, but I'm open t' any way o' feedin' that don' hurt no one. Think I'd be more interested in that than tryin', er, bone blood."

The American West, 1865

"Argh! Dang Jessie, not only are you wastin' good whiskey, but you're--ah--jus' makin' these cuts hurt more!" Bullseye groaned as Jessie liberally applied whiskey to the various cuts and scrapes across his arms, chest and back, despite his knowing that the alcohol was good for the injuries.

He was also partly still smarting over doing such a stupid thing as falling off his horse while the gang had been trying to ambush a stagecoach. He was an excellent rider and should be well past making any silly mistakes like that. But the proposal that Pete had brought to them a few days earlier was weighing heavily on his mind, and obviously it was beginning to affect him even more than he thought.

It was tempting, he could not deny it: the chance to be with the people he considered his family forever. But it also came at a heavy cost, and Bullseye was not sure that something he wanted so badly was worth that much. Glancing over at Jessie, he could not help wondering what she thought about Pete's proposal. They had not had a chance to discuss it yet--just the two of them--and since there was no one he trusted more than her, he would make no decision until he had heard her opinion.

"Hey Jessie," he said quietly, "I know we ain't had a chance t' talk since, you know, since Pete gave us that whole spiel 'bout what he wants us t' do, an'…an' I'd really like t' know what you think 'bout it. 'Cause I really ain't sure what t' think myself."

No, Bullseye really could not blame Gaston for thinking about the safety of his customers, but at the same time, that was all too common to assume that werewolves--and other "dangerous Magicks"--could not control themselves. He might not have known anything about the person Gaston was discussing, but he could not help but see it all as a condemnation of himself as well. His worry about what he himself could possibly do always lurked far too close to the surface, and Gaston's words only exacerbated that worry. Surely he too deserved to be kept away from others in the same manner. "Yeah…yeah guess I can see th' logic there," he said, trying not to sound too saddened, "'Specially if it's someone who's been known t'…get outta hand." Again he wondered what Gaston would think of him if he knew what Bullseye was…what he had done. Anyone who cared about the safety of their customers was right to keep someone like him away too. But he also knew there had to be others who agreed with Gaston, and what if they chose to follow his lead? "'S jus' that...wit' you goin' an' bannin' 'em all, how long 'fore other places in town do th' same? Then there wouldn't be nowhere for any o' 'em t' watch th' game or do anythin' else. Jus' seems like…a slippery slope t' me."
