Time Traveller
"Wine, please, barkeep," You say, adopting your best attempt at a wild west accent. The bartender eyes your white lab coat suspiciously and then shrugs.
"Got wine, but s'expensive."
You nod that you'll take it anyway and the bartender hands you a glass of wine. Fortunately, the bartender doesn't glance at your money. Upon tasting the wine, you find it to be vinegary and unpleasant.
Setting the wine aside, you watch the woman, who is at a table nearby playing poker with a group of men. She seems to be winning, much to the chagrin of the men, and it isn't long before she whoops in delight, having beaten them with a Full House. She gathers in the money, drains her whiskey and then saunters over to the bar and grins at you.
"Hey there, drifter. I see you got back into the Sheriff's good books again," She looks down at your drink and grimaces, "Wine? The stuff they sell here isn't worth drinking, but I suppose you just found that out?"
You nod and the woman grins again.
"Never mind. Hey, there are some friends of mine I'd like you to meet. Could be money in it for you..."
Abruptly, she straightens gracefully and heads outside. Clearly, she is expecting you to follow her.
