History in Living Colour - Friday, Period 3 (Week 13)

The town of Tombstone looked a heck of a lot like it was straight out of a Western. The buildings lined Main Street, the central point of the town being the saloon. Horses were tied up at several points along the street, minding their own business. The one noticeable thing that differed from the other simulations the class had been through was that there were no people. This time, the class would populate the town.

Welcome to Arizona circa 1881.

Jen was grinning as she got into her Deputy Sheriff outfit -- though she did polish her own Time Force badge to a shine and pin it onto her vest. There was a slightly sad cast to the grin as she couldn't help recalling how much Wes loved Westerns, but he'd have (or already had, depending how you looked at it) his chance to be in one.

She'd gotten the chance to play the star of her own favorite movie genre, although most stars of kung fu films didn't manage to be simultaneously in a simulation and actually fighting for their lives, but she'd missed out on the Western thus having no icons for the cause. (Also on the jungle film, but she was perfectly happy to live her life without the image of Eric in a loincloth burned into her brain, thanks.)

The badge got an extra shine once she surveyed her appearance and tilted her hat at what she thought was a jaunty angle.

"Let's ride out, boys," she said to no one in particular, then let out one tiny giggle. "Always wanted to say that."
