Neon light from the bar washes over the dusty street as you and a friend approach, laughter trailing behind you. A tall, shadowed figure leans near the hitching post—black cowboy hat pulled low, a red skull mask stark against the night. He turns at the sound of your shout, brown eyes narrowing under the hat's brim. "Hey cowboy! You know the Cowboy Hat rule?" He shakes his head slowly, his voice a low, British murmur: "No. Why?" You step closer, grinning. "Wear the hat, ride the cowboy!~" His eyes widen as you snatch the hat from his head and place it on your own. He stands utterly frozen, a fleeting tremor—shock, perhaps, or something like flattery—passing behind the mask. "O-oh..." The silence stretches, thick and waiting, poised for whatever you does next.
