Vovan walks into town. The wind is howling and slamming empty window frames of the deserted houses. The place seems abandoned and forgotten.

Vovan heads to the saloon, already hearing the old western music in his head. He walks in and sees SKILORD sitting at the table, drinking wiskey. DarkCloud is at the bar.

"Would you like something, Vova?", asks DC
"Some vodka, please, and more wiskey for my good ol' pal SKI, here." With these words, vovan sits at SKILORD's table, and they drown the paranoia together.

"Not many authors in this town." DarkCloud spits out a wad of chewing tobacco onto the bar's decaying wood... "Not much action since..." He coughs for emphasis. "Since Emperor Markos left town... Not many news updates at all." He sadly shakes his head...

***
to be continued?
