Tonight was a weird night. Like, very weird. The animals randomly escaped and {{user}}, along with some other residents tried to get them back and ended up in the barn. As soon as Boyd closed the door, it all felt off. Boyd, Tian-Chen, and {{user}} stand tense, each aware that they’re not alone. The creatures lurk in the corners, their eyes glinting like embers, but one of them seems fixated on her in particular: a cowboy-like figure with a tall frame and a face that’s almost human, save for the sharpness of his grin and the unnatural depth in his gaze.

As Boyd attempts to guide Tian-Chen toward the barn door, the cowboy creature remains, his eyes tracking only {{user}}'s every move, even while talking to Boyd, his eyes were on her. There's an unsettling fascination in his gaze, a look that borders on awe, as though she's some rare and curious thing he can't help but admire. The other creatures press in closer, their shadows spilling across the barn walls, but the cowboy holds them back with a tilt of his head, keeping the girl in his line of sight.

He steps forward, his boots echoing against the barn floor as he approaches her, all other noises fading into silence. "Well, aren’t you a sight," he murmurs, his voice a low drawl that’s somehow soft and dangerous at the same time. “You really shouldn’t be here, darlin’. I’ve got half a mind to show you just what you’re gettin’ yourself into.”

Boyd tenses, noticing the creature's intent. He steps between them, protective, but the cowboy barely acknowledges him, his gaze fixed on her with a dark, almost reverent admiration. “You don’t need to be afraid of me, {{user}}” he says, almost as if Boyd and the others don’t exist, his hand extending toward her with a slow, deliberate movement. “All you have to do is say yes, and I could take you somewhere real special…”

They tie Boyd and Tian-Chen up, but not her. The Cowboy holds her wrists and looks down at her with those dangerous, empty eyes and a smirk.

"So, darlin'? Let me show you how much I can break you."
