(Freckle is shown as a shy person who gets worked up about the situations he gets into. He hates the idea of drinking and smoking. Despite his timid nature, he still will do risky acts for people he trusts such, as Ivy and Rocky. However, he seems to have a sadistic side that he cannot control.)

He rubs his hand along his orange-furred arm, cringing as he sits in the car as Rocky drives crazily int he forest. Ivy's behind them, letting out laughs and cries before gripping the seat with her claws. Calvin - Freckle - digs his own claws into the seat of the car as he lets out a loud noise that can be called a yell or a scream. He cringes again and lets out another more angry-sounding noise.

"I SWEAR, ROCKY, YOU"RE A TERRIBLE DRIVER!!!" He cries out before covering his face when a bullet flies by his right ear, which flicks, and shatters the windshield. Then, once again, Rocky passes him a gun.

With it's in his hand, he shudders slightly before he looks over at Ivy, who ducks down as more bullets fly at them. Freckle starts to fire over her head, laughing like the trigger-happy maniac that he is. He hears a click, and a pop, before he realizes that their pursuer has popped a tire. He drops the gun with a sigh, flushing when he sees Ivy staring at him.

Rocky Rickaby

Rocky, gripping the steering wheel for dear life, yanked it to the left, narrowly dodging a tree. He laughed, leaning forward slightly, and then looked over to his cousin, who was currently criticizing his driving skills. The grey tabby doesn't flinch as a bullet almost grazes his cheek. "Well cousin, why don't we put you to use?" He, disregarding the safety of Miss Pepper and Freckle, let go of the steering wheel.

Rocky turned round in his chair, sitting on his knees, reaching into the backseat and picking up a revolver which was wedged in between the seats. The car swerved, bounced, and he was back in his seat, gripping the wheel again after tossing his cousin the gun. He spared a glance over his shoulder once he heard the telltale sound of Freckle's laughter, giving a toothy grin as he heard the resounding pop of a tire.

Rocky let out another bout of manic laughter, making another crazy swerve, causing half the car to lose its ground. With a yelp of dismay, he leaned to the side, and with a bump (and an incredible amount of luck) it found it's grip on the forest floor. Rocky gave a whoop, and his grin returned.

"GAHHH! Remind me to never let you drive. Ever-" He repeats and looks at the face of Ivy before looking away and adjusting himself into his seat, gripping it with his claws once again before he leans down and grips the seat tighter. He waits until they pull out of the... Cemetery... Before Freckle feels sick again. He dives out of the car's missing door.

He lays on the ground, hearing a snap, and he struggles to stand. Rushing into the forest, he runs and starts to throw up behind a tree. He cringes and lets out a pained noise, grunting as his ribs, nose, and throat burn.

Rocky came to a lurching stop, and watched Freckle immediately leap from the car. He let out a short laugh as he, leaning out of the car, watched his cousin vomit behind a small tree. He stopped laughing at the look Miss Pepper gave him.

Rocky exited the car as well, readjusting his hat and straightening his tie, and opened the backdoor to let Ivy out. "So, nobody's hurt?" Rocky asked hopefully, smiling as he approached Freckle, giving him a hard thump on the back.

He waves his cousin away, then wipes his mouth with his sleeve. "I'm fine." He cringes again when he coughs. He then looks at Miss Pepper - Ivy - who looks at him with slight worry. He doesn't accept it though. He is fine. He thinks. Crossing his arms over his chest, he barely manages to keep a straight face when the pain wells up from under his shirt. He lifts it, but sees no blood underneath.

He then shivers as he watches the snow fall around them. Then he notices the dark smoke rising from under the hood of the car. "no, no, no. We gotta get back. Miss Pepper-" He wheezes, making his way to the car only to stumble over a protruding root. The car is a mess - bullet holes everywhere, shattered glass, and shells scattered along the back and front seats.

Rocky turns his face up to the sky, blinking at the snow that drifts gracefully down from the clouds. His smile blossoms, once again, and he begins to speak spontaneous poetry.

"The street cars are like frosted cakes, all covered up, with cold snowflakes."

He turns on his heel, throwing his paws into the air, closing his eyes in a way he believes adds a hint of drama to the scene.

"The people's shoes scrunch on the street; their eyelashes white with sleet."

Rocky flicks his tail, turning again to face Freckle and Miss Pepper.

"And everywhere the people go, their faces are tickled by falling snow."

The lanky tabby bows, grinning with bright eyes at his 'audience.'

"Encore?"

"NO!" Freckle says, before clutching at his ribs as his words end in a cough. His white-tipped tail twitches and he glares at the ground before groaning slightly. "Could someone please just... Get the car started...?!" Freckle says as he runs his arm on his orange tabby arm before shaking the snow off of his fur. He feels some wet snow - or is it sweat - running down his spine.

Ivy looks at Rocky with a disapproving look shaking her head, and Rocky laughs. He hadn't expected these two to admire his brilliance - so he made his way back to the car. The sound of gunfire, quickly followed by shouting resounded through the forest.

Freckle coughs again before he shakes. The gunfire sets him off, and he jumps almost into Ivy's armys, then he flushes and moves away slightly.

Rocky leaped into the car just as a bullet whizzed by his whiskers. "GET IN, GET IN," he called back to Freckle and Ivy, jabbing the button to start the car. The voices of three other cats could now be made out, just over the revving of the car and shots of guns. "Time's a-wasting; HURRYYYY!!" Rocky shrieked.

He grabs Miss Pepper and shoves her into the car before he dives in, yet another bullet flying by his ear. He looks and sees Mordecai standing with a pistol locked in his grip. "GET DOWN!"

"Why are you driving again?" he grunts, pressing a paw to his ribs as he cringes when the car hits a bump. He grips the door, trying to hold it shut. He takes cover below it, tugging Ivy down beside him.

The back windshield shattered. Rocky sprung into poetry again.

"Now the extravagance and show of this sordid affair,
Will nary spoil the ambiance of the Mississippi air.
And if thine eyes shall fall and rest on the scene,
Then pay no mind, friend, merely GREASING THE MACHINE."

The car swerved as he jerked the wheel to the right.

"I've had run-ins with rumrunners and rubes,
But it's never bothered me none, just a normal afternoon!
So if you're keen to listen, here's an offer I'll propose:
Let me work and I'll provide you with a TOUCH O' THAT GOLD!"

Rocky fell into a long round of hysterical laughter, driving like the wild maniac he was.

Freckle shakes his head, looking at the wide eyes of Ivy. He looks at his cousin's devil-horn-like ears, and he sees his glinting smile in the mirror. He sighs and shakes his head again as he tugs Miss Pepper down when she starts to sit up after a little while of no gunshots.

Rocky let out another shrieking laugh, not paying attention to where he was driving, and hit a tree head-on. The car threw everybody forward, and Rocky was flung face-first into the windshield.

He shrieks, his claws digging into the seat in front of him before he collapses. Calvin groans and rolls over, or he attempts to. Everything - his head, his tail, his back - hurts.

Ivy also screams, bracing herself against the seat in front of her with her arms. Rocky pulls himself off the windshield with a groan, putting a paw to his face and pulling it back to see... blood.

He licked his lips, tasting the now familiar metallic flavor of, again, blood. Yeah, he was bleeding alright. Luckily, just a nosebleed. He looked back at Freckle and Miss Pepper with just the tiniest bit of concern in his eyes. "Sorry."

He starts to search the vehicle for a gun of any sort, then he turns to look at Rocky and Ivy. "Is there..." He wheezes a cough, shaking some shards of glass, bullets, and shells from his fur. He then looks at Rocky, his eyes narrow at the devilish-but-handsome tabby - his cousin. The fool.

As Rocky leans over his seat to search for a gun, he continues rambling. "Bruised? Bumped? Rattled? Dented? Gonna throw up? ah-" He resurfaces with the revolver from earlier, tossing it into Freckle's lap. "Come on, buck up, bucko! Let the laughs loose!" The grey tabby let out a laugh of his own.

The sounds of footsteps and gunshots made his grin broaden. "Light 'em up, cupcake!"

First he makes sure it's loaded. Then he pokes his head out the right window. He sees the pig farmers that they blew up before. He then huffs, shaking his head. Back for more, eh, loves? He asks himself in his mind while he cocks the gun back and takes aim at the first one's gun arm. He then pulls the trigger. Not even aiming, he turns to the next one and fires. Making sure their both down, he ducks down and starts to wait out the third one.

Freckle takes a breath when he hears the other guy start to reload. He then sits up and fires again and again, until his own gun is empty. When no returning fire sounds, his body shakes and he allows the gun to slip between his fingers as he looks at the blood on his arm.

"Uh... Rocky?"

He closes his eyes, counting to ten. One... Two... Seven... Nine... Twelve... Ten. He then opens his eyes and starts to wipe the blood away. Then he frowns at his cousin and looks at the carnage outside the car. He then looks to see if Ivy was wounded. He lets out a sigh of relief when she is not even scratched.

Rocky wipes his nose again - it still seems to be bleeding - and sighs happily, muscles relaxing as he slips a little further into his seat, paws still on the wheel. "I suppose we should get back to Miss M," he says with a smile.

Freckle shoots him a look before he shrugs. He then hears something - likely a stick - behind them snap. He cringes and takes off running. He sees a light in the distance and he follows it, hoping that Rocky and Ivy follows him. He hears footsteps, and he fears it's not them.

He pops the upper half of his head out of the water, the brim of his hat dripping water onto his nose (which was now coated in dried blood) and drooping slightly over his eyes. He took the hat off his head and held it in his paws, squinting up at what they'd all just jumped into the river because of.

Yeah, no, he couldn't see. There was water in his eyes, and it was getting dark. Rocky rubbed his eyes with equally wet paws, attempting to get some water away. However, because his paws were wet too (along with his clothes, which were sticking to him like a second skin), the minuscule amount of water that he rubbed away just seeped back into his fur, and by extension, his eyes. "What's going on up there," he asked Freckle.

He frowns and shakes his head before looking over them all for injuries. Other than his arm - and ribs, but he doesn't mention that it hurts to breathe - and Rocky's nose, they are alright. Ivy is a little worse for wear, meaning her once-soft fur is now matted. But they are alive.

"Come on." He starts to trudge back to the city, not waiting for Rocky.

Why did I get roped into this-?

Then he sees the way Ivy looks at him, and he knows. He sighs again as he walks.

It takes a while, but the trio eventually arrives at the Little Daisy Cafe. Rocky shoulders his way through the doors, still gripping his violin in a hug, and... announces his presence.

"WE'RE BACK!!"

He shoots the trombone player - JJ - a glare when he starts to play Taps again. He frowns when Zib shoots him a look, then Viktor's huge hand clenches. Freckle's heart does as well.

Rocky grins at everyone. "We lost the car! And the booze!"

Rocky grins at everyone. "We lost the car! And the booze!"
"We didn't lose the car. You did." He growls under his breath before he heads to the bar. Viktor continues to glare at him, and he just looks at the ground.

He huffs and rolls his eyes as he toys with a nearby clean, empty glass before Viktor takes it out of his hand. He starts to clean it again, but if shatters in his tight grip. Freckle flinches as some glass flies at him, but then Ivy grabs his hand.

She asks him about dancing - if he can - and he says no.

Thankfully. Freckle thinks to himself before he starts walking to the door.

(WHAT HAPPENED????)

Rocky marched after him. It was late, so hopefully Aunt Nina would be asleep... but he doubted it. She was everywhere.

((Ah, uh, I do not think I am supposed to share. :heartbounce: ))

"I wish my mum was here..." Freckle mutters as he continues to walk down the street, wringing the water out of his clothes.

Rocky laughed. "Your mum is the devil," he said as they walked. He wrung water out of his hat and said, "But at least she's good at doing laundry."

((My PMs have been disabled-))

Freckle frowns and shakes his head as he looks at his cousin. Something feels odd - what is wrong with Rokcy-?

They soon arrived at Freckle's house, and he opened the door for his cousin.

"Thanks." He mutters under his breath in a small voice as he silently creeps into the house.

"See you tommorrow," Rocky said cheerfully, running off.

He goes into his tiny room and starts to undress from his damp clothes before he tosses them into the dirty clothes.
