Who's Feelin' Stabby?

Well that was one exciting livestock auction. The animals were cute and the proceeds were substantial and the finale ...well...that was a bloody mess. Seems Miss Nicolette finally completed the task she began a year ago...she just needed the proper tools and the motivation and she found them, apparently. Miss Kitty had a few extra holes in her once the auction was finished, thanks to Miss Nicolette's knife.

Nicolette promptly left town afterwards, but return the next day and told the whole story to Sheriff Angel.

[14:28] Angel Silverblade-Ansar (angilias.wassersztrom) reaches to her belt as she comes ot her office.. going thoguh her massive key ring some.. grumbling some to herself.

[14:30] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) wanders over...seeing Angel arriving...she twists a handkerchief nervously in her hands and looks down at her boots..."Mademoiselle Ange?"...she whimpers quietly

[14:35] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera): Then you have not yet heard of the terrible things which I have....which have happened?...I ...I wish to surrender, Mademoiselle...je me rends.

[14:36] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) sobs loudly and holds out her wrists to be cuffed[14:41] Angel Silverblade-Ansar (angilias.wassersztrom) would look confused a moment as she would unlock the door and offer Nicolette the chance to step inside " heard of vat? ive been in idaho visiting mine huzband.. turn yourself in?" as she motioned for her ot come inside

[14:44] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) sighs then takes a deep breath...fighting back the tears..."Perhaps, Mademoiselle...we should sit...I fear if I remain standing to tell the tale I may faint before I can finish...s'il vous plait...I will begin at the beginning and I will tell you all, Mademoiselle, Ange...je te promets."

14:45] Angel Silverblade-Ansar (angilias.wassersztrom) would nod to her" please take a seat.." As she would go to take a seat herself as she grabbed her pen and a piece of paper.. "what is it you want to tell me nicolette.. and if you need water tell me"

[14:48] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) blows her nose loudly as she sits...then takes another breath and then another..."It all began last week Mademoiselle...I was at my home, having the cafe au lait avec ma soeur et...Monsieur the Marshall Westland came speeding past with la fille Midge upon his horse and nearly unconcious..."

[14:48] Midge Hiker-Manahan (midgehiker): We'll try here first before we go up t'Marshal Wes's office...

[14:48] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) walks up to join the children

[14:49] Midge Hiker-Manahan (midgehiker) freeze at the door hearing her name, looks to Miss Larah, unable to knock...

[14:51] Joseph Mordred Harnett (catrinasalai) furrows his brow seeing midge freeze and follows her gaze to larah

[14:51] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) hears Midge's name too and looks at Midge, "dont sound like Wes, he was in his office in Benson last I saw"

[14:51] Barbara Babs Harmond (elmaran098): is that lookin to arrest midgie?

[14:52] Midge Hiker-Manahan (midgehiker) nods, wide eyed an mouths to Miss Larah "Ah thinks it sounded likes... it wuz Miss Nicolette?"

[14:52] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) continues..."La fille Midge was pale and weak from the hunger and the thirst...she is a very active child...with the dancing and the foo foo avec Monsieur Kristoff et...her pirate games...et...it did not take me long to deduce, Mademoiselle Ange that the VACHE of Monsieur the Governor , who is caring for Midge at her home...has taught her that a lady must eat daintily and sparingly...it was then that I knew what I MUST do, Mademoiselle Ange."

[14:54] Angel Silverblade-Ansar (angilias.wassersztrom) would frown hearing this but continued writing best she could translating nicolettes words.. as she looked ot her and waited for what she had to say next.

[14:54] Joseph Mordred Harnett (catrinasalai) gives babs a strange look thinking midge hadn't done anything

[14:56] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) nods "it does sound like Miss Nicolette but I am sure she left on the stage"

[14:57] Midge Hiker-Manahan (midgehiker) puts a hand over her mouth and strains her ears listening...

[14:57] Barbara Babs Harmond (elmaran098): oh missy nicolette is she in a that troubles cos of midgie then?

[14:59] Joseph Mordred Harnett (catrinasalai): shush babs we are trying to hear

[14:59] Midge Hiker-Manahan (midgehiker) gives babs a wide eyed look of absolute horror...

[14:59] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) looks at Babs and passes her some coins, "would ya like another of those ice creams Babs? Ya did like that one the other day"

[15:00] Barbara Babs Harmond (elmaran098): yes please buts I has ta eats it slow yes

[15:02] Midge Hiker-Manahan (midgehiker) closes her eyes, working through what she just heard and turns white as a sheet...

[15:03] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) reaches a hand out to Midge, "come take a seat Midge, ya look a little pale"

[15:03] Angel Silverblade-Ansar (angilias.wassersztrom) nods as she continued to write unaware of what was going on outside as the doors and windows were shut .. and she couldn't hear the commotion. "then vat miz nicolette?" she asked her as she looekd ot her.

[15:04] Midge Hiker-Manahan (midgehiker) nods and takes Miss Larah's hand, following her to the seat...

[15:05] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera): I ran...a ma honte; comme un lache...mais...I have returned...j'ai une fille...I cannot abandon my Claudette et the school...what will the children do without the school...and so you see..I HAD to return when I did...I found Monsieur Glad et Mademoiselle Lilly and they have been kind and have encouraged me to tell my story to YOU and to no other...I am sorry for my cowardice and for running away...mais...as for the rest

[15:06] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) feels her anger rising again at the thought of what she perceives Kitty had don

[15:06] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera): e

[15:07] Larah Westland (larah.daxter) squeeze, s Midges hand, whispers, "perhaps it aint as bad as it sounds"

[15:08] Nicolette Charpentier (nicolettera) slams her hand on the desk for emphasis..."I am NOT sorry for THAT...is the butcher sorry for butchering une Vache...NON! It HAD to be done, Mademoiselle Ange...If I had not she would have starved the child...THAT is why...and I would do it again to save the child's life!"

[15:08] Midge Hiker-Manahan (midgehiker) nods, preying Miss Larah is right, her bottom lip quivering...

[15:08] Barbara Babs Harmond (elmaran098): sits and eats the half eaten ice crean shareing some with morty

[15:14] Thalina 'Tina' Martell (truptina.zapatero) is offline.
