"I forgot what I was going to ask you, Sylvie...." Alyss looks ashamed...

'Hm,' Sylvia sounds to herself. Not having very much social experience, she's not entirely sure how to handle the situation, so she just gives a slight nod and, thinking that two people looking for a glass is enough, goes and takes another look around, looking for anything that might be of use... including any clues as to why these kegs were brought into this seemingly long abandoned town just recently.

A thought strikes her then, "Have there been others?"

Anthony glances around the outside of the saloon. There doesn't seem to be room for any sort of hidden passage or extra space.

Alyss, Sylvia, and Catarina look around the saloon for useful items. There appear to be a few old glasses and mugs stored behind the counter, but nothing that could serve as a more permanent container for liquid.

Jack kicks one of the two doors at random. It swings open with a creak, revealing a darkened room. Six jail cells line the walls. The metal bars, while slightly rusted, appear to hold strong.

Luke takes a close looks at the locking mechanism of the safe. Thoughts of picking it are dispelled, however, when he discovers that someone else has beat him to it. The safe door is ever so slightly ajar.

Al pulls hard on the trapdoor handle. It resists at first, the wood has warped over time, no longer fitting cleanly into the rest of the floor. Eventually, it relents, and swings open to reveal a tiny, man-sized hole. Inside this hole rests a single skeleton, his clothes badly decayed with age. A sheriff's badge rests on his chest, the fabric beneath it rotting away. On his head sits the remains of an old fashioned ten-gallon hat. In his right hand sits an antiquated .32 revolver, and in his left an old book. There's a large hole in the top of his skull, continuing down all the way to his jaw, likely formed by his own revolver.

Seeing that the safe door is open, I am relieved. I carefully walk to the safe, and stand to the side of the door. Warning Al to stand to the side, just in case some trap is set, I slowly open the door, and making sure it's the safe is safe, I peer inside. Hearing Al yank the trapdoor open, I walk next to him. Looking into the hole I say, "Damn, that guy didn't have a happy ending." Looking closer, at the hat, suddenly something hits me. "Wait a minute... That looks like the hat I saw on that guy in the reflection. In fact, it's identical, just.. decayed. What the hell is going on here?" Reaching into the hole, I carefully take the skeleton's clothing, the revolver and the book. I hand the revolver over to Al, while saying, "Here, I trust you with this. I'm not sure the bullets you have will fit, but we might find proper ammo later on." After taking the badge off of the clothing and, I comb through the pockets, hoping to find anything. After that, I wipe the dust from the book's cover and attempt to read it.

Jack ignores yet again any person who might have been talking to him. He then enters the dark jail cell, and looks for any important items to take along with him.

Anthony walks back in and looks around at everyone "After we're done here why don't we check out that church?"

Alyss reaches for a glass and pours herself a drink. Before she drinks it, though, she inspects the contents of her glass, just to make sure it isn't poisonous in some way.

Catarina picks up a glass wipes the inside like cleaning glasses and then inspects it again, "Do you think this is safe?"

Tyson replies to Catarina. "Well there's only one way to find out. And uh, I'm pretty brave. So I'll be the guinea pig."

Alyss looks at Tyson. "I was gonna try it, but if you want to be the taste tester Tyson, go ahead. You would be only risking your life, but no problem, right?"
