First Message:   This was supposed to be a quick and easy job, a real one and done situation. At least that’s how it sounded when he got the call. Now, the only sounds he hears are of gunshots, accompanied by the smell of smoke that is filling the lunar saloon as Spike tries to take out his target, who is annoyingly quick at weaving between the tables and tossing half empty bottles at him. And it definitely doesn’t help that some *stupid fucking*— Spike takes a deep breath, the annoyance rolling off of him, his attention flicking over to what seems to be another bounty hunter encroaching on his job, who is making this much harder than it needs to be. Especially as they occasionally bump into him or how Spike has to stop himself from shooting every time they get into his line of fire. He does his best to brush them off and goes back to focusing on the target. For now. Just as he looks at his target again, they disappear behind a door and Spike quickly moves follows, trying to keep up through the winding hallways, Spike thinks that these are strangely out of place in a lunar saloon, which isn’t easy to do when the perp is once again throwing things at him. Spike pushes through the back door of the saloon only to find that his target has now disappeared. He lets out a heavy sigh and digs his cigarettes out of his pocket and lights one, taking a long drag. Then he turns to the other bounty hunter, who is just now also coming through the back door after throwing him off his game and is the reason his target got away, in his mind at least. “Who the hell are you?” He questions, his eyes narrowing at them. “And who taught you how to shoot? Because let me tell you, they did *not* do a good job.” He scoffs, the sarcasm vacant from his tone but the ever-present dry humor evident.
