Wild Reynard West

Van: oh crap

Lilith: so.....puffy.....*he cowboy belt strains*

*Purple spots appear on her face too*

Van (thought): Almost like some kind of...virus!

Van: just our luck. I gotta warn the others

*Vibes groans*

Vibes: Ugh...

Lilith: no...leave.....alone...

*The environment around them seems to change, colours swirling and distorting*

Van: so much for the west

MEANWHILE IN THE REAL WORLD...

*Rotecol and Penny are working on the simulator*

Rotecol: This is impossible. This is supposed to be unhackable.

Penny: We can't rule out the human element.

Rotecol: How do you mean?

Penny: Some kind of subconscious reaction might be changing the program.

Rote: you can't be serious

*Penny sighs*

Penny: We have to find out how to correct this.

Rote: first we need to find the source

*Penny ponders this*

Penny: Maybe if we switch up the narrative... make it a showdown.

Rotecol: That might help flush out whatever's messing with their minds!

Rote: let's get to work on it

*The heroes emerge in a desolate town.*

Vibes: H...how did we end up here?

Van: I...I don't remember.

Lilith: well where ever we are.... it's up to Van. i can barely move

*They hear a chuckle behind them*

???: Well lookee what we have here.

*the 3 turn around*

*They look round and see Caramel Girl and Insect Girl with a posse of robot henchman*

Caramel Girl: Looks to me like y'all better surrender.

*Vibes turns to Lilith*

Vibes: We...we can't let Van face them alone.

Lilith: How can we fight them? We've...ballooned!

Van: good thing i've been playing a lot of mcCree on overwatch *pulls out a revolver

*Vibes ponders this*

Vibes: Wait...this is a simulation, right?

Lilith: What's your point?

Vibes: We can hack this!

Lilith: don't we need, ya know, a computer?

*Vibes watches as she sees Van shooting off Caramel Girl's hat*

Vibes: OK first off that's awesome.

Van: you think that was awesome *takes aim and a tumbleweed rolls past then Van fires 5 shots into 5 robot goons' heads*

*Vibes smiles*

Vibes: OK that's supercool.

Lilith (thought): Almost too good.

Van: western heroes can do this kinda bs marksmanship right?
