'Course not! But if I gotta live in that there barn, I ain't too keen on hearing horse hoofin' at any hour of the day. Not like I need sleep, but we've got others in there, y'know?

I wanna search this place top to bottom 'fore I give up 'n decide it's ghosts.

If you never find those horses, we can try to appease the spirits instead! Not that I think it will work. I think the cult people want us to feel as unsettled as possible.

[ Says someone who's doing okay. ]

Yeah, I figured as much. Put us right in the middle'a this low-budget horror film forkin' hoo-ha.

[ huffs through his nose. hilarious. ]

"Appease the spirits," huh? You into the "occult aesthetic" too, Partner?

Means we're going to have to expert certain people to die first, right? Or people making stupid choices that make no sense.

[ Just smiling! Life is a horror. ]

It isn't weird to be a little spiritual in Japan, so some of it is common knowledge. It's more than an aesthetic for me, though! Like how you're not like a cowboy.

Let's dial it back a second there. What d'you mean, expectin' certain people to die first?

A lot of horror movies have tropes and trends. Sometimes, it's predictable.

You think people are really gonna die out here, son?

I'm hoping not, especially if the friendly goats are our allies, but I'm prepared for anything to happen. It'd be stupid to think things will go without a hitch and we head home without a casualty.

[ It was just a little joke about movies, but... In seriousness, yeah. He is prepared for the worst. ]

Things may not go perfect, but that don't mean someone here has to kick the bucket.

[ optimistic cowboy... ]

... Is this the gap moe...?

What d'you call me?

[ Does not explain. ]

I wasn't expecting someone who threatened to shoot me to be optimistic.

[ looks at hoyo calling him Extremely optimistic and unrestrained even though he's aggressive ]

Bein' careful don't mean someone's gotta die. Threatenin' ain't the same as shootin'.

[ boothill is a trigun ]

Yeah, yeah, I got it! So where haven't you looked for these missing horses? I'll help since there's nothing really to do yet.

[ this is why you also love him ]

Gonna help me look after ya' said they're ghosts? Really that bored, huh?

Nonzero chance they're out there, just like nonzero chance they're ghosts.

[ he is bored yeah ]

[ SQUINTING ]

What's yer name?

Gojo Satoru!

[ Points. ]

And you're "Hill?"

Boothill. Man, what's with alla' you forkers? Ain't that hard to get!

Your poster says Hill of the Boot, so...

What in the forkin' hell...?

[ IS THAT WHY??? ]

You- You ain't pullin' my leg, are ya'?

[ oh ]

... You didn't see?

No I forkin' didn't!

[ HE WAS SURPRISED THAT HE COULD READ ANYTHING ]

Fudge them horses! I'm headin' over to the bulletin board.

It's by the pyre at the center.

[ Points toward the direction. He will follow because he wants to see what happens. ]

[ HELP ] I know where it is!

[ OFF HE GO! gojo can follow and eventually they'll make it to the bulletin board. as soon as he gets there, boothill rips off his poster and stares at it.

(it reappears, of course. he seems to know this and not care.) ]
