[ boothill is totally unbothered by the leeches once he wades out into the stream. they won't get past his metal with their puny leech mouths. he'll keep them off of his face just because he doesn't want teethmarks on it.
once he's got his box secured, he takes stock of people who have already gotten their box open. blood? he's not doing that.
he tries beating the box. kicking it. he would shoot if he had any bullets. this box is somehow indestructible.
there are teethmarks already on the box. this is the only rationale i can come up with for why he decides to lean down, hesitate, and give it a lick.
DISGUSTING!!!! ]

[ Guess who has been watching this go down from a safe distance of like some feet away. He'd been picking leeches off his own box up until Boothill appeared, and then he had settled in to watch the show. Too bad the so-called show takes a drastic turn, and Aventurine's expression twists into disgust when the tongue comes out.
It was funny at first, but now he's not so sure. ]
... What are you doing?

... Nevermind that.
[ HE JUST. WON'T THINK ABOUT IT. AND MAYBE IT WILL GO AWAY? no it won't.
ignores it and glares back at aventurine. he lays his box beside him and he pushes himself to his feet. ]
What the fork are you doin' here, ya' IPC lapdog?

The Galaxy Rangers ain't like you IPC folk. What one of us knows don't mean the rest of 'em know too.
[ he starts taking slow steps, just pacing while he talks. ]
You, though? I'd say lot of 'em know you from sheer notoriety. You are quite the daredevil, Aventurine of Stratagems. We got that in common.

[ barks a laugh ]
'Fraid it's a lil' late to be makin' demands like that. See, you were made my enemy the second you sold your skin off to those forkin' money-grubbin' muddle-fudgers what call themselves agents 'a Qlipoth.
[ spits to the side. ]

[ Let's say Aventurine and Boothill were shooting the shit at the bar when shadows suddenly swallow the both of them and a scene plays out before them.
4:56:38-5:01:15 IS YOUR MEMSHARE.
At the end of the memory, the shadows depart and return them to the bar, and Aventurine sits there looking like he's just seen a ghost. ]

[ HELP ME
boothill looks the exact same way, staring forward at nothing. during the ordeal, he crushed the glass of whiskey in his hand without realizing it. there's drink and glass shards on the bar under his metal hand, but he doesn't seem to register this.
he finally looks at aventurine, eyes wide. boothill knew about the conflict between the strategic investment department and marketing development department. what he didn't know is how big of a part oswaldo schneider actually played in aventurine's past—how similar they actually are.
slowly and with feeling: ]
Ho-ly fudge.
