Rimmer laughed. "When those two quit trying to kill Holly, we can all trot off to the jailhouse, you'll stay the night, we'll let you ought in the mourning. Everyone's happy."

Daniel's eyes widened. "No! Hell NO! I am not going to jail, everyone would be dead by morning. I am not, going anywhere with you!"

"Well not everybody will be dead by morning, buddy. Obviously you won't be." Kurayami said, leaning off one of Daniel's shoulders.

Rimmer searched for masked threats. He was sure they were making fun of him somewhere, but instead of sitting there and droning--thick skulled--so they knew he was still breathing, he shrugged of any muses of killing him.
Rimmer breathed a nervous, soft chuckle. "What's so wrong with me?"
He kinda rethought that bit about the outlaws and murder, and decided it was a dangerous situation enough to place a hand on his quarterstaff. But if they pulled weapons, a growing fear crawled up his spine and asked him just to bolt.
The vampire and the other one wasn't exactly worth dying over, faceless as they were to him.

Daniel smirked, obviously amused. He could smell fear, and stepped away from the door. "After you sirs," he drawled.

Craymen put away the pistol but kept the sword and waited to see what the people did.

Kurayami kept grinning as he crossed his arms behind his back, not appearing to reach for any weapon.

Rimmer shook his head amiably at everyone's response to his small sleight-of-hand. All of the eyes were on him--a stupid thing. "You guys are weird," he said.
But that's what exactly Holly needed. He was able to try apprehending the distracted people, but he was smart enough to know that that wouldn't work on them all.
So he thought of something else.
He went out the door without Rimmer seeing him. Rimmer freaked out later, as the criminals laughed and rebutted his comment, and began twisting his head around the room, searching for Holly.
But the only thing he could find was his partner's cup of coffee. He stared at it a long time.
Holly was gone. Left him here, alone with people, that he was really never interested in taking in anyway. He had learned, after some lessons out in the smegging world of tough crackers, how to talk his way out of things. He had a good feeling he'd have to deploy that skill in a minute.

Daniel's eyes clouded black. "What time is it?" he asked Kura.

"Uh..." Kurayami thought for a moment. "Around mid night... Oh shite..."

Daniel's eyes clouded over solid black. He fell to his knees and screamed.
Holding his head in his hands, his screams stopped as quickly as they started.
Daniel rose to his feet, he could smell blood. It choked him. He looked up to see people around him. He noticed the one nearest him. He seemed familiar, so he didn't attack. But there was one holding a sword, who was watching him, he had no idea who that was. So he attacked.

Rimmer watched with bemused eyes as the vampire gave him a stone cold stare. He didn't know what caused this metamorphosis, but he decided it best to muffle his fear right now.
The stone cold eyes became disinterested in him, Rimmer supposed, and moved onto the pirate. Daniel swept into attack with a fluid motion, and Rimmer spectated the scene, still bemused.
======================================== OOC: Now, Rimmer has a quarterstaff, so mrr. I assume that you're attacking Craymen there...

Craymen saw what the vampire was doing and said "not me, that thing over there. Craymen said pointing at Rimmer.

Kurayami just started cursing, long and creatively. Turning to the pirate he said, "You might want to get out while you still have a chance."

Rimmer's laugh bellowed throughout the tavern when the girl said that one.
Meanwhile, something had occurred to the mind of the kind barkeep. Here were these five gits trying to destroy the peace and civility of what he believed was a respectable drunken hole.
He wouldn't stand for that. It went against his contract in death with the previous owners, Big Fat Paulie and his wife, Skank: "... being just an old drunk and not affiliated with the O'Malley family in ANY manner, and without any blood kin of his own makes him the perfect caring candidate for the task of managing Our bar, and the perfect decoy to pin all those "alleged" felonies and "supposed" racketeering charges on...
"He signs his name, as Pawn..." Which, now it was obvious, he never read the fine print, meticulously located in the many periods and commas.
The bar would not fall into dirty hands with him around, no siree Bob! they could continue to murder and make the "Family" rich without tying in any new obligations. Even in death.
Big Fat Paulie laid proud in his grave, but was nearly about to roll over at the presence of Rimmer, there. But then, floating among the ether in the Big Casino in the Sky, his concious had enlightened him.
He made the Pawn use the rifle in the back of the bar. And in a very loud way.
The explosions from the warning shots gave Rimmer a headache as they jettisoned past his head and benignly sailed somewhere among the rafters, where deaf ears fell upon it. "GET OUTTA ME BAR!!" yelled the Pawn.
