“i liked that a little more than i shoulda!” @ Opal 8)

@gunslinginnhogtyin // I Didn't Know You Could Do That

"Oh darlin', if you liked that lil ol' swing, just wait until I really get started~." She practically purrs at the cowboy who'd stumbled right into this fight. Her grin splits into something feral, and with a pirouette on a heel, she takes the heel of her palm and her momentum into the bar brawler's nose. He yells and stumbles back, blood gushing from his face at the impact-- to which he's met with barbie pink boot to the solar plexus. Down he goes, gasping for air, and Opal fluffs her hair.

"I saw you, sugar. Put somethin' in anyone's drink, an' I put ya in the ground." She says with the sweetest drawl, before her shoe comes down on his arm with a ferocious speed. There's a crack, there's a spray of blood up her reflective neon skirt as bone spears through his forearm, and there's a pained shriek as he rolls and gasps and clings to that arm.

She grins and aims for the ribs, next.

"Hey, Opal! I added some stickers to the bat you gave me, isn't it cute?" Her smile is sheepish as she shows the weapon off, holding it up in open palmed hands as if she were promising the other her sword. It's got glittery and holographic stickers all over it, ones of colorful hearts and stars and bunnies. There's even a newly taped grip, pink and blue stripes in a swirl. "I wanted to ask though, if you've got the time-- I was wondering when you swing it, and it gets stuck in something, what's the best way to get it unstuck?"

Opal takes it from her offered hands, and gives it a good rotation in her palm to see the added decoration. "Awwww sugar, this is pretty as a present! Though ah'd refrain from puttin' any of yer favorites on here. Hard to get the blood off 'less ya spring for the vinyl stickers." She pats the barrel against her other hand." An' it depends on what yer aimin' for, I reckon! I personally like strippin' the meat off the bone when I swing, so i go for one of these." She took the bat and swung it hard away from them both, and then mimed it getting stuck. Her shoe came down on the empty space below as she pulled in kind of a chopping motion at a downwards angle, as if ripping the bat free of something.

"Definitely an immobolizin' kind'f force. But if you ain't keen t' be the one doin' the most damage, I recommend a bit'f rotation. Get that thing pressin' right back down where it buried and most times it'll pop the sucker right back out." She beams at her, holding the bat out with both hands, like a monarch bestowing a weapon now. "I could show ya, if y'like. A bit more in a hands-on kinda way...~?"

"I told him t' just steal some'f Lexus' shit. But he's too much of a goody-two-shoes for that. Don't worry, big boy, I brought some shit that'll knock you right int' space."

Ghost Town

Starter for @just-another-rhinestonecowboy!

Opal's gait down the hall was nothing short of a skip. Her muffled steps were accompanied only by the subtle scrape of carpet on shoes, as she made her way down the dingy hallway. She passed a dozen identical, equally off-color doors on her way, before she stopped about midway down the hall. With the tiniest twirl that sent her skirt raising like a tossed pizza dough, she dropped her sneaker pointed at the door, and the rest of her body came to a hard stop in that same direction. Her hand raised up, knocking out a dainty rendition of shave and a haircut.

Hopefully Hol hadn't left yet. She'd set him up with the motel as incentive to stick around, but she wasn't sure how inclined he'd be to stay the week she'd bought for him. She'd either be meeting him, or she'd be making sure there wasn't anything else to pay for like some kind of mini-fridge tab. She doubted it, from his gentlemanly ways, but it never hurt to check.

At least she'd managed to convince him to stay for the rest of the doctor's visit, after his fall. He didn't seem too injured, so maybe he had a bit of her luck with him. Although he certainly seemed uneasy with being there at all. She didn't blame him, though. She hated true hospitals too. The smell of antiseptic made her stomach twist, and there was something awful about the sound of rhythmic monitors. Like a reminder of how many beats were left.

Thankfully the urgent care wasn't too bad. At best it had been a small office with a handful of techs and three doctors on staff. It was still clean, but not lysoled hospital level, and the doctor was quick about moving them in and out. It was relatively painless, compared to what it could've been.

And once he was done there, she dropped him off here at the motel, after buying a room for a while. He might clean up nice, if he got sleep for those dark circles and showered--- at all, really. And maybe once he felt like more of a person, he'd have relaxed, enough she could get to know what he was really like. She had money to burn, so it was a worthy cause for a hot man.

"You in, Hol?" She calls, cheerful. "If y' are, I got notions for a nice lunch an' thought I'd offer to treat ya~."

❗❗❗ ((From Hol gonna give Opal a dip, a smooch and maybe a nibble haha!))

@just-another-rhinestonecowboy // An Unexpected Kiss

Opal hums, the kiss a surprise, but not necessarily an unwelcome one. While usually she was the one to wrestle back control, this time she let it play out.

"My, cowboy's feeling spicy today~." She comments once they part. "What's got a snake in your boots, sugar?"

[townofcadence]

Opal is perfect, pass it on.

"Aw sugar, you just tryin' t'butter me up? I ain't complainin' none. If y'keep it up, y'might even get yerself a little somethin' sweet, too. Though fair warnin', I bite~."

[townofcadence]

" Oh Opallllllll..." Well well well look what the tumbleweed dragged in. If it isn't a certain big cheerful cowboy she hasn't seen in a while! He stands at the door and waves with a big grin on his face. " How y'doin' sugar? "

"Well howwwdy partner, it's been a minute and a half, ain't it?" She runs that w long and low. "Nice to see you around again, darlin'. I've been good as ever, y'know how it is. Hope all this time's been treatin' ya kindly. Certainly looks it~."

"Well whatta coinkydink. I done yap in curses too. Probably not th' kind someone like you might use, course. That an' colloquialisms, an' sometimes things not fit fer polite company~." The southern really seeps into that 'polite' with a breathy emphasis.
