I really wanted to keep roleplaying but it feels weird to me not to know the people I'm talking to and not being into it enough to feel the need to know the other person behind the screen and it makes me feel like a jerk
Around lower half of Kamassa River, the clandestine doctor travelled in a Grulla Mustang, bringing with him first aid medical equipment, some clothes and leftover food on a saddlebag, his cane attached to it. He kept his eyes low, dark and hollow as they stared into the map on his slim, frail hands, unaware of surroundings.
“ If we keep heading south, we might make it to Rhodes before dawn. ” Lewis said to himself, unnoticed his mare's strange behaviour. Penny was agitated, those grey ears flicker, switching from rustling short grass, distant trees to flowing water. It all hissed and moved, her peripheral eyes wandering nervously to see what was hidden, only percieving sounds.
Braking from gallops, she bolted. The quick motion launched Lewis into the ground, not swift enough to grab by reigns as he hit the ground with a grunt. “ Ow! Penny! ” he shouted for the uncalled reaction and hurt by sheer shock. The Mustang ran not to far from there, kicking and bucking, taking Lewis' wooden cane with her.
He brushed back the curls drapping in front of his face with a hand, clenching his teeth. There was no way he could stand without aid with that crooked left leg. “ Penny, come back here! ” his calls were left unanswered by the frightened animal, spooked and kicking.
Hi guys :3 I decided to try something different today!!!!!! I hope y'all like Lewis because I do and if you guys encourage me I'll never shut up about him so pls be nice to him!!!!!
The sheet of paper with the face of the next bounty moved in the wind, in the hands of the hunter on his horse. He had been traveling for a few days to reach the supposed city where he would find the man sketched in a small yellowed poster. It wasn't a big bounty, but money almost didn't matter to him anymore. It had all become a "fun" thing, and he had no intention of stopping.
It had rained that morning, and the air was cold and damp. It entered his lungs and was almost suffocating. He had been riding his light-coated Shire horse for hours, An animal that did not seem to belong to the gloomy figure of that cowboy with the pitch-black hat.
The sound of fast hooves caught his attention, and when he saw a mustang galloping toward them, he thought it best to take out his lasso and catch it. Who knows, maybe he could sell it. It was when he realized that the saddle and the objects were on its back that he understood that someone had made that beast escape.
"And you? where are you from?" A caress on the muzzle of the newly caught Mustang, who clearly didn't want to be held down. The voice a whisper. But a distant scream made him realize what had happened. Calmly and on his horse, the cowboy rode toward the source of the noise, Finding a man on the ground.
Penny flinched at first, struggling with rope. She, however, was domesticated and used to such treatment, collecting herself quite easily. The saddle to her back, as well as the things attached to it didn't lie. Her rider was nearby.
Lewis, still at the ground, watched a stranger with his familiar companion. Squinting his eyes, he couldn't quite see the figure above the shire. Penny's dark, guilty eyes and flickering ears were unmistakable for the man who had always been on her back.
“ ...Yes, precisely. That is my horse. ” sarcastic, he struggled while using a rock for standing up. “ I don't know what happened, she never pulled a stunt like this before. ”
Managing to balance himself, Lewis stood up, holding a crumpled mapping of the region. It felt unnatural to him, painful even, but those dead, hollow eyes of his signalled indifference. Getting a better view of that figure on the stallion, he kept a monotone mumble of a response.
"Grey. Tucker Grey." The man introduced himself by dismounting from his horse and waving his hat. As the two animals seemed to have a moment to get to know each other, Tucker watched as the man tried to stand alone. There was probably something wrong with him at that moment.
"I imagine falling off a horse isn't an everyday thing for you." A hint of a wry smile, his clear, gray-tinged eyes watching him. Everyone in his family had them like that, hence the surname. "What is a man like you, who can't stand alone, doing in the middle of the forest?" He might have seemed rude, but he didn't care.
The smile faded, his hands on his belt resting alertly. He always assessed the person in front of him, and even if the man seemed harmless, he couldn't let his guard down.
Turning to Penny's side, Lewis reached for his cane, unattached it from the saddlebag so he could stand properly. He let out a sigh, relieved as the weight lift off his crooked leg. Turning to the other, he studied that confident posture closely, but figured he wasn't looking for trouble, caring enough to bring back a disabled man's horse.
Tucker's comment made Lewis scoff. “ No, I usually avoid being thrown in general. ” he wasn't butthurt but wouldn't miss an opportunity to throw shade. “ You should too, it's not just dangerous for brittle boned bastards like me. I know that, I'm a doctor. ”
“ The name's Lewis Steele. I was headed south to Rhodes where I'll be looking for work. I'm not licensed and tuition is expensive, so travelling around the country is much cheaper. ”
Darkness and depth in Lewis' droopy eyes weren't the most noticeable thing about him. As he looked up at Tucker's face, the man could see a strange violet hue in the so-called doctor's eyes, unlike anything he'd seen before.
“ Are you headed there too? Settling around these parts sounds like a hell of an idea, it's full of... Raiders. ” furrowing eyebrows, his expressive side shone through. He'd be lying if he claimed he wasn't tired of seeing armed men playing soldiers.
"A doctor out there alone? Don't they pay you enough to heal people, doc?" He patted his Shire on the neck, who nodded his head up and down, appreciating the gesture. "No. I'm not going to Rhodes. I left there a few hours ago." Little information and nothing more. He was looking for his size, but the doctor didn't need to know.
A smile hinted at his words. "Yes, There are quite a few of them around here, and I don't know how long a sick man like you can last here." Tucker wasn't used to helping people. He was a loner, preferring to travel alone, but he also understood that a doctor was an important person.
"I can drive you to Rhodes. It's still a few miles away, but I'll be on my way as soon as we get there." He didn't wait for an answer, he approached the man and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He was thin, well-dressed, and his long, curly hair, tied in a ponytail, was unruly. Although it was the eyes that struck him most. He had seen many men with that look, and some he had never seen again.
"Can you get on the horse or do I need to help you, doc?”
Fairly short and scrawny, Lewis looked harmless if it wasn't for the sheathed firearm to his hip, not a threat but a shield for trouble. Noticing how brief the man's words were he figured Tucker had a delicate business going on. “ I see... ” he nodded, used to the ways of dangerous men.
He pondered for a moment. The openness surrounding them was both alluring as it hid real dangers, and with Penny's sudden outburst Lewis wasn't too keen on relying on the mare for the time being.
“ Drive me? You got a wagon somewhere? ” turning to face Tucker, Lewis' expression didn't change. “ And yes, I can mount myself. Thought I'm not sure if I should trust Penny right now. It's strange... She never did anything like this before. ”
Running a hand through the mare's neck, he could feel the quickening pulse through thick skin, faster than normal. Penny's ears were moving around, but Lewis couldn't hear anything nearby, even as he searched, glancing around.
“ If you don't mind, I'll take it. But you really dont have to. ”
"Yes, I know." Returning to accompany someone. He had done it a few times in his life and they had all been young women lost in the dangerous lands of that country. But he would have made an exception for that fragile man with a look that seemed more lost than his body.
"I don't want to risk wasting time if your mare throws you off again. You'll ride with me." It wasn't a proposal, and after tying the lasso tighter around Penny's neck, Tucker climbed onto Vanill, his Shire, and helped the man up, making him sit in front of him.
"It will be a short journey if we hurry." He warned his horse to move and they soon resumed the road towards Rhodes. In that town he had had a little trouble in a saloon with some men, but he wasn't the type to be turned away from a nice place just because some asshole didn't know his place.
"It seems strange to me that a doctor isn't paid enough to pay someone to take him to a city."
“ Lead the way. ” Lewis put shortly, settled on the Shire.
The stallion towered over his Mustang, much higher than the self-proclaimed doctor was used to. Getting to Rhodes wouldn't take long, the abscent need for a map allowed Lewis to admire the view for a moment, looking through the thick overlay of trees and tall mossy stones in a relaxed manner.
“ You'd be surprised with how many of us do this sort of thing. ” he continued, as somber as ever. “ I don't get paid most of the time, that's the price for not having a tuition. Having to learn from experience. ”
“ And if you're worried, I don't mind paying, sir. ” it wasn't said in a negative tone, but a neutral one. For Lewis, giving someone a ride was still a form of labour. Having seen first hand the need of others, he wouldn't mind sparing Tucker a couple bucks.
Galloping next to Vanil, Penny was moving much slower. It was unclear if she was bothered by the presence of another horse or by something in their surroundings. Those high grey ears kept flickering back to the woods, sensing things that only selective hearing would be aware of, too far for humans to relise.
Around lower half of Kamassa River, the clandestine doctor travelled in a Grulla Mustang, bringing with him first aid medical equipment, some clothes and leftover food on a saddlebag, his cane attached to it. He kept his eyes low, dark and hollow as they stared into the map on his slim, frail hands, unaware of surroundings.

His father was Zakhar Dorofeyevich Vitushko, and mother Vasilisa Iosifovna Fomasenko
He lost his father in 1979 (5), after which he was raised by his mother and her brother.
Between the hardships, there were moments of love and kindness. His mother truly did her best even with her distance, and Viktor met a girl his age who accepted dancing with him at the community center, in 1985 (11).
His mother fell into a permanent catatonic state caused by a car crash in 1986 (12), and died shortly thereafter, in mid 1988 (14).
Now he was being raised solely by his late mother's brother Ivan Iosifovich Fomasenko and his wife Ulyana, but didn't stay home much, often leaving to do odd jobs here and there.
In 1989 (15), he was forced into the army to fight the third insurgency, which he did, he did and saw things no boy his age should see. But he would grow numb, and would do as he was told, otherwise he would not survive.
In 1992 (18), during an encirclement, he and the platoon he was part of was disconnected and killed off. Out of 23 Soldiers, only himself, a friend of his and the commander survived the day... Little did he know, in the moment, that the commander had sold them out. He had a lot to earn with their deaths.
But he would find out, soon after.
After that, he was dismissed from service for Invalidity, due to his left eye which was hurt during the encirclement, and would often look a "little off-center".
From that point forward, he started dabbling in small-time jobs, and then some rather odd jobs, escalating into quasi-illegal activities, before fully entering the world of crime, in which he would prove himself to be a fine asset.
Viktor worked with "merchant caravans", Trucks with regular sale items for transport, but hiding people who want to leave their countries for another, without the trouble of checkpoints, Visa or Passport, along with "displacement", Code word for corpse removal and transport. He got used to it, so much so that he even would crack up a joke/pun or two sometimes.
He did these jobs for a long while (1992-2007, 15 Years) and got sick of them. But continued anyway, for the money. By 2007, he had enough money, but would stay a bit until the time was right... He bribed a trade ship captain in Klaipeda to let him aboard and drop him somewhere new, to start anew, to absolve himself from the things he had done and seen...
So, he went there. To New York City, 2008.

It was a cold night, but the lights of the houses seemed to warm those who looked at them. The vampire hadn't felt that way in a long time, though. She wandered the secluded streets of Strawberry, Alone, Covered by a gray jacket to hide her pale skin and pointed ears. She hated being like this. Hiding and having to repress her instincts.
And she was hungry and didn't have the vials of animal blood with her. The streets were isolated, But the figure of a man caught his attention. There was only him and his horse, no one around. Who would notice his absence?
And even though it went against her morals, she began to get closer to him.
(Hi! I hope it's okay to interact with my OC like this. 🥹 I love meeting new people and new Arthurs 😂)

By the time Strawberry slept it became the safest hour for wandering outlaws. Midnight through and a cold, whispering breeze was the only company if not for his Raven Shire – a stallion he proudly cared for. Arthur assumed he was alone. Tonight's work was supposed to be a quick, seamingless job, althought the strong scented blood clinging to his clothes called for something else. With a chill to his spine, he turned quickly to acknowledge the presence lurking in the shadows, approaching him.
For a moment, he froze. The other, he reasoned it was just a lady. Harmless and young. However, that grey cloak and hungry eyes shook him. “ It's a bit late for a woman to be walking around these parts. I wouldn't trust the men in here, specially by this late hour, miss. ” Brushing it off as survival instinct, he warned. Mounted on his horse, the animal's eyes stared straight into the stranger's, growing agitated by jerking his head back in avoidance. It seemed to be aware of her difference in nature, something Arthur was yet oblivious, maybe even ignorant to realise.
Shad stood still. The fidgeting horse made her realize she had to be careful. Animals weren't stupid. The gray cloak clutched in her pale, hidden hands as she watched the man. He was older than her, and his experienced Air and face told her he'd been through a lot in his life. And now he would have to deal with a vampire.
"I know, sir. I have nowhere to go and... I'm hungry." The last words were mumbled. Shad didn't want to kill him. She had never liked drinking human blood, the thought made her feel guilty, but when she couldn't help it, she went against her own will. Especially when the smell of the blood he had on him reached her nostrils and unlocked something inside her, making her take a small step forward.
"I would appreciate it if you could offer me something to eat and I could offer you something in return." An allusion to the saloon women, she wanted to imply that she would give herself away, when in reality that would not be the case at all.
Furrowing eyebrows at the proposal, Arthur pulled the reins, signalling for the stallion to still his movements while looking down at the lady. “ You don't have to give anything in return, miss. ” For an outlaw, he was understanding. Concerned with the situation, he offered a ride on the shire.
Not too further from town — enough for the smoke not to become a problem for passerbies — they were both in open skies with a makeshift fireplace Arthur managed to gather for themselves. Under the warm light, his blue button-up became apparent, as well as the dirt and blood stained on him. He was roughened and tired, roasting a hare from evening's hunt.
Their pelt was already stripped when Arthur grabbed it from it's stash, barely resembling an animal. Arthur sighed, sitting down on a fallen log to tend the flames and meal they'd share. It was meant for the camp, but he couldn't say no to a starving young lady. Not by that lonesome hour.
“ ...Your name? ” he drawled, glancing up from the fire to take a better look at her.
@Charles wasn't ever one for holidays. Of any kind. There wasn't really time for it, always on the move. The life if an outlaw didn't 'allow' holidays. To many things to do, nothing to celebrate.
Christmas was no different. Charles didn't believe particularly in Christianity, he didn't see a true reason to celebrate the day. To celebrate the snow on the ground, the bits they got anyway. Rhodes wasn't exactly known to be like colter during winter. The gang went along their time.
Dutch tried to get the gang in a joyous mood. Talking about ❝Oh it's Christmas, good spirits!❞, trying to be festive, it did wonders for Jack. The boy loved what he got, loved what the group did for him and with him, even John tried to pitch in a little more. The girls danced, sang, sean joining in, then uncle, then well... the lot follows.
But charles stayed away. Not in a bad mood or anything, no. He was glad everyone was having their own version of happiness, this time of year. Now it wss his turn; he hopped upon Taima, whispering a few words before slowly heading out.
The laughter died away, revealing the soft crunch of snow below hooves. The hum of the night. He let out a breath, watching it form like a cloud almost. He didn't mind the cold, not too much.
He got to where he wanted, a quiet spot, seeing the stars clear above. A rock to sit upon. Just him, taima, and his thoughts. Not the worst tonight.
What the hell was a Christmas?
Dylan had always wondered that. His family never celebrated it back in Ireland, and it wasn't like he ever had anybody else through his life.
When he was younger he watched as snowflakes fluttered down to the ground, coating it. He watched as boys and girls alike romped about, sticking their tongues to catch the snow. Throwing it each other. Laughing. But he also watched as they exchanged gifts. Toys. Anything of value. He used to watch parents, hug their kids. Siblings ruffle the others hair. He wished for so long thst would be him.
but why was it so mainly on Christmas? What about it? Was it more snowy on that day everywhere thst they just... decided so? Why was gift giving a thing? Dylan never got gifts. Did he do something wrong? When he asked someone once, they told him ❝it's not about gifts❞ then what was it about!? Family!? But why only one day to that???
He had even asked Huron, but he believed he was to dumb to understand the real meaning. He just didn't get it. Why was it such a big thing?
And why was decorating such a big psrt? Art, just... all of it. It had a certain air to it. The boy didn't dislike it, it was comforting on those nights he was alone. But it was just odd.
He felt stupid though if he asked again; he was twenty two and he didn't know what Christmas was. Pathetic. So he stayed away from everyone a bit that week, he didn't want to ruin their time. Mess it up.
Within the snow he sat, a small campfire going (and dying occasionally), watching it flicker up and down. Trying to find pictures within it. He would admit it; he was sad. Lonely. Even on this day he usually had chance but... no more. His poor companion. He tried not to cry, really he did. But as a few tears slipped down he sniffled, tail curling around himself.
He couldn't do Christmas right.
❝red or the blue, bud?❞ Buck asked as he held two ornaments in his palms. A red shiny plastic ball, or a blue shiny plastic ball.
Old boy sat in front of him, sniffing at them, not seeming particularly interested. They didn't smell of treats. The old terrier huffed at the blue.
Buck chuckled, reeling it back. ❝hell, don't sneeze on it.❞ but his smile softened. He forgave Old boy. He always did. He set down the red for the little 'hero' cat to play with. ❝Think it'll fit nicely though.❞ he hummed to himself, turning to look back.
He had set up a good tree, about three weeks back, but he was just now getting to decorate. Strong, sturdy, the pines not always falling, and the rodents certainly seemed to like to climb it. It was decorated, different colors, things handmade, it was home.
Buck celebrated Christmas; not as much as others, but a fair amount. Even in his family they did what they could and would. Even on the old ship, they were together for the holidays. They made the best of it.
He wanted this to be good for his family now; For Huron, for Johnnie, frankie, Dylan, Tubbs, all of them. They all deserved this. A little bit of home. Old boy too, for... Buck was sure it'd be his last...
Speaking of which, the terrier waddled to the base of the tree, sniffing. Another huff. Buck smirked. ❝does it meet yer standards?❞
Bwoof.
❝it never does.❞
snow crunch below their paws, glimting off the moonlight. Sure they could be in their human form but... They found their adventures to be more exciting within the anthro fox form they took.
Their bushy tailed was wrapped around themself tightly to create more warmth, the blue cloak thst surrounded them did very little. They should have brought their jacket, they knew. But oh well. One cat trailed behind, limping along because of his missing leg.
The two walked and walked... until they reached a big tree. Decorated, with lights, ornaments, anything they could have scrounded around. Some presents under the big tree too. Comforting and eerie at the same time. But it was fine to them.
They went to the tree and simply stared ip at it. Perhaps reminiscing the past. Perhaps thinking of the future. Or maybe... just trying to enjoy right now...
It's Christmas day folks! I hope you have fun with whatever you do, celebrate it or not!!! This is your time 'n take it!! If it's cold where you are, cozy up, stay warm!
