OK I guess I will apply for a formal affiliation with your posse Una. Although I have valued my independance. You can use me in whatever way you choose. Keith ---

So a man and his trusted dog (who was not named Halvsie) were travelling through Indian Country in the 1800s. He gets captured by some of the hunters and brought back to the tribe. They tie him up and say that, after they pray for guidance, they will most likely skin him alive and then kill him. So they go off to pray. His dog comes over and he whispers something in the dog’s ear, so as not to be overheard. The dog takes off at a run for town. An hour later, the tribe comes back. Just as they’re about to skin him alive, a hundred scantily clad women come darting over the hills all around. The indians find this a grateful distraction and all go off with a woman. The dog comes up to his owner and wags his tail contentidly. The man leans over and says “Nice job, but not quite what I wanted. This time I need to go round up the posse!” ---

Can I join? I can spy. I can also give knowing or suggestive looks over the top of my glasses. I’m a little unsure about the tattoo/piercing. Is there an option for ludicrous costume jewellery? ---

The only posse I’m in is my own, and that existed just because somebody CLAIMED it existed. Like the Mafia. I’ll do anything you need done. Help with the piercing, sanitize the pierced area before the piercing, tenderly administer to the pierced area after the piercing–long after the piercing. Anything. ---
