Race tapped his foot impatiently as the seconds ticked by. He needed this money. He could take it down to the wolf traps and double it. He could go to the races with Sapphy again. He could finally get Tristan a wedding present. He could buy Raven something to cheer her up. Maybe a dress, or a shiny new switchblade.

Jack put his game face on. He was ready, if he won this money he could finally get his train ticket and go on out to Santa Fe like he'd always dreamed, or he could maybe take Stagey out on a better date, or maybe he'd buy a horse...MAYBE.

Blink looked over his shoulder; the remaining stragglers were close enough for him to say, "...GO!"
He made a mad dash to the street.

Specs nodded, pulled down his hat and grabbed his papers as he ran out to the street.

"Son of a bitch!" Jack exclaimed and ran off as well. "Cheater!" He yelled at Blink, dodging around him as he hurried off. "HA"
((such boys, I LOVE THEM))

Race was off like a shot, determined to prove that baby-faced Italians were way more in style than psychotic Cyclopes.

The rule was they all had to stay within earshot or eyesight, so they all stayed close within the square. Luckily it was a busy day as people milled about.
Blink swept his hat off and smiled broadly (or psychotically) to a few women who were old enough to be his mother. "Wanna read about New York's most eligible bachelors over 40?"
Score!

Specs took a different route, nodding to every woman that passed and giving them a shy smile. Luckily, they caught his eye and bought his papers. Specs grinned, glad that he still got it.

Race pulled out his harmonica and began playing the tune of a rousing Irish drinking song. A very sizable portion of the crowd headed his way. He held the harmonica with one hand, waved the papers with the other, and they began to vanish into the hands of nostalgic Irishmen. One girl actually started to dance. A redhead. In a short skirt. Race's sales went through the roof. ((  BLINK. <3<3)) |

Jack managed to sell five papers right on the spot, the murdering puppy really had people intrigued.
"Adulterous Senator burns down City Hall! Whores on the rise! Mammoths storm city!"
And...another two sold.
((I'm picturing this insanity in my head and I can not stop laughing))

"HEY, THAT'S NOT FAIR!" shouted Specs as soon as he saw Race pull out his harmonica. Too bad his outburst caused him some scared glances. Shit.
