ONE:
STONE twisting around, anxious, looking up at DRAKE.
1. STONE: —please please let me down, as in, now, Tall Man.
2. DRAKE: Why should I do that as you’ve given me no reason to grant that favor?
TWO:
New angle, CONSTABLE DICKENS is coming closer, perhaps examining a piece of FRUIT from a cart.
Past him, we can see DRAKE, DRUM, and STONE, and yes, STONE is still dangling. STONE is indicating DICKENS.
3. STONE: Because that fine member of the local constabulary has a fire on his fanny to put me in irons, that’s why.
4. STONE: He catches sight of me and I’m not seeing daylight nor breathing fresh air until I’ve grown to a full lady, and that’s if I’m blessed.
THREE:
STONE looking up at DRAKE. The act has gone. She’s legitimately scared. DRUM is looking at her, brow furrowed.
DRAKE is tight-lipped, looking in the direction of Dickens, off panel.
5. STONE: I’m in a working house with a chain about my ankle, sir, and that’s no lie.
6. STONE: It’s like to die if not die outright.
FOUR:
DRAKE and STONE, looking at each other.
7. STONE: Please, sir.
wouldn’t a stranger wearing a outfit that’s out of place with what the locals wear and also carrying a long gun not automatically get the attention of said constable?
Methinks they already have his attention. I’m not convinced he’s that much into stones (They are minerals, gorram) …
Ok, he is interested in one very peculiar Stone …
I think it’s a piece of fruit.
*checks script*
It is a piece of fruit!
I don’t think her plea, however touching, is going to have much effect on Drake. Putting it into D&Dish, Drake strikes me as more than a bit lawful neutral–meaning more law and less mercy.
And I figure he can talk to the cop one lawman to another–though I am not sure the big city cop is going to take much of a shine to a frontier lawman.
I believe Drake has all the leverage he needs to get her story
Huh. So is Drake letting himself get pickpocketed of the fake mapcase that the two of them were so kind as to brandish openly?
I’m thinking Stone will “accidentally slip out of” Drake’s grip mere inches before the city cop’s grubby mitts grab her. Right after she gives them something to go on (but not too much) of course…
Nicely drawn. Almost forgot about the possibility of this being a different type of fast talk.
Pretty sure Drake follows his own laws and justice after seeing his contempt at the bought judge.
There are still many ways this could go.
While waiting for todays update, I impatienlty hit some buttons.

[Latest] does not work on the same set and [12.21]. I would think [Latest] on the most recent should link to itself.
I’m stone in love with Stone, bless ‘er larcenous heart!
