"Y'see? Instincts never lie. " Drew commented bitterly, using his other hand to point a revolver at the creature - though he doubted strongly it could be harmed by bullets. "I'm not one fer ghost stories, but they tend t'talk in most I've heard." He told the others. "Let's give 'im a chance to say his last words."

"Thank you...." The ghost spoke as it slowly lifted it's head.
Dane immediately raised his brow.

Vash also raised his brow, "Did we put you at peace, respectful ghost" he asked taking a step closer but keeping his hand on his blade to be safe.

"And goodbye - wait," Drew began, instinctively preparing to pull the trigger, before he realised what the ghost had actually said. He lowered his revolver a little, confused. "Thanks fer what?"

"Yes, you freed my soul from accursed town. You see I was once like you, I too was a warrior who came to this town unaware of it's evil curse. The town seemed to come alive and attack me, but I managed to defeat the souls controlling it, however I did not know as you didn't." He lowered his head.
"I am sorry, but now that you have beaten me and freed me....you are now next. Whomever defeats the spirit that controls this town is fated to be the next, soon you will die and your souls will be sucked into the heart of the town and forced to control it to attack any innocent souls that come near it.
You will be trapped for eternity or until some warriors come and frees you all, then they shall be next. You have until the next new moon...then you shall die and be condemned forever."
Dane's eyes widened as he heard the story, but they snapped when he heard the last bit. "The new moon, but that is in 7 days. We only have one week!"
The ghost nodded, he wanted to speak to thank them again, apologise and say farewell....but. The ghost then faded away into nothing.
Suddenly all the warriors, the knight, the samurai, the gunslinger, the lancer and the singer all got a burning sensation on their right shoulder. When they looked they saw a mysterious mark had now been burned into their right shoulder...

Vash punched the ground, "AW WHAT THE! IM A GOOD GUY AND I END UP LIKE THIS!" twitched but then jumped in pain as the marking had been burned into his shoulder.
The samurai looked to the sky, "...I hate ghosts" he spat and stomped to a nearby tree and took a seat. "Anyone else got any bright ideas?"

At first, Drew was too shocked to speak. He was no stranger to being a marked man, but this was a different mark entirely - one he felt, couldn't be evaded. "You dragged me into this, swordsman! " He accused Dane, pointing the barrel of his revolver at him. "If you hadn't run yer butterknife through that ghost, I wouldn't be a dead man walkin'! I might as well blow yer damn head off here 'n' now! " He yelled lividly.

Dane first reaction was to immediately smack the gunman. "Calm yourself! You came to this town yourself, face it. From the moment we stepped into this town we were in trouble, that is what this place does.
You either die or become the new soul, there was no escape. We tried to leave and it just sent everything at us. We couldn't escape, this place doesn't give escapes or ways out. You either kill or be killed.
Yes it sucks we are in this, but deal! We just a really sh...bad coincidence that we happen to step in a town that does this. Personally I prefer to go down fighting, so I'd rather have the second route. At least we have seven days now and I don't know about you, but I don't plan on spending them shouting at the sky, punching the ground or blaming others. I plan to find a way out, I don't give up and I'll stop this town's dark cycle once and for all.
You chose to come into this town, you chose to follow the noises you heard, you chose to explore and you chose not leave. Yes, it ain't pretty. I don't know about you, but I came out into this world to do something about all the dark things and monsters, so if I take down this town, so be it. You can do as you wish, including shoot me if you really think it'll make you feel better or help your situation at all."
He drew his sword from the ground and sheathed it on his back.

Vash shook his head, "It isn't worth spilling a good mans blood, gunner" he said from his perch. He then got up and dusted himself off, "I'm going with the swordsman to find a way to stop this acurssed ...eh curse"

Drew thought long and hard about what the swordsman and the samurai said, and ultimately he decided to holster his weapon. "I came out here 'cause I was already marked fer death - another death mark don't make it no easier fer me. " Drew commented, prodding the new mark underneath his duster. "But I guess we're all in this mess - havin' ya dead won't solve nothin'. "

"Well since it seems we've all been thrown into this mess together, I guess we can't keep calling each other Mr. Knight, Gunslinger and Samurai." He looked back at them. "Name is Dane." He held out his hand.

"Names ain't important. Corpses're all the same. " Drew said stubbornly. "...but y'can call me 'Drew'." He later added, grudgingly.

"Issuru Vash, just Vash" he bowed, "Oh yeah...this is the west" he scratched his head holding out his hand to shake the hand of 'Dane'

Dane shook his hand and then bowed back.
"And you?" He looked to the girl, she was the only one of the group who was not actually a warrior. He would understand if she did not wish to join, he could tell during the battle she was frightened and unsure, despite her excellent performance.

Kizzy groaned as she sat up, feeling the ground below her slowly come to a stop and the noises cease. Had they done it? Gazing up, the girl found a hand in front of her. Taking it, Kizzy stood up and smiled. They had done it. Although, it didn't seem like it was over.
A ghost appeared and told them that because they had freed him, they were now going to die in 7 days. Kizzy felt like she was going to snap if anything else were to happen. She could tell. Once the ghost was gone, the four men started introducing themselves. Cringing, Kizzy looked at under her cloak at her shoulder where something was now burned into her skin. With a sigh, Kizzy pushed back her hood and gazed around at the men. They probably didn't know her, but she wasn't too sure. "My name is Yuzuki Tsukumi...but call me Kizzy" she stated, placing her microphone in the bag that was sitting at her side. She hoped that none of the things in there were damaged from her falling. She would have to check later. The one thing that had to do now was figure out how to get rid of the stupid curse.
