"CLASSIFIEDS: For Sale"

[MaryAnne]

*Presses my lips alittle annoyed, clears throat.* MaryAnne, is there any possibility we can continue this conversation some place alittle more private. Please.

*gestures to the courthouse* "By all means, step into my office..."

[DaneyDuke]

*gestures to the courthouse* "By all means, step into my office..."

"Y'all have a good day" *smiles, thinking Chet really didn't want to sell his heart and soul. Walks away.*

[Cowboy]

*Removes my hat and turns to go up the steps, pauses.* Ladies first.

[Konrad Lee Duke]

*wanders around wondering where she had gotten to, finds her in front of the Court House*

B, there you are, i've been looking all over.

*Dosent notice the company she's in till he was beside her*

Whats that?

*He asked looking at the flyer*

[B.L. Davenport]

*smiles at Konrad*

sorry I got distracted

*hands him the flyer*

Chet's sellin' his heart and soul

[Konrad Lee Duke]

*He read it and snickered*

i think someones having trouble finding himself a woman....

[B.L. Davenport]

*shrugs not knowing what's the reason behind the flyers*

[Julieduke]

*shrugs not knowing what's the reason behind the flyers*

Julieduke picks up the flyers and says "Well I'll be somebody is looking for his soulmates I wonder who that could be now?"

She looks at a little closer and finds it be her cousin Chet, and thinks to herself that he can't find a girl on his own this is pretty funny now.

[MaryAnne]

*Removes my hat and turns to go up the steps, pauses.* Ladies first.

*smiles* "Thank ya." *heads up the stairs with Chet following and they walk into the courthouse. They then head to the booking room, which is empty. Once inside the booking room, turns around to face Chet* "Okay, what's the deal?"

[Cowboy]

*Frowns, sits down on the edge of the step in the booking room.* I dont know...

[MaryAnne]

*looks at the Duke boy, a little confused* "You don't know? Well, let me ask that this way. What are you looking for Chet? What are you really looking for?"

[Cowboy]

What I really want.... *Leans my back against the wall pondering deeply.*

Ya heart and soul is used to feel happiness and pain...*Swallows.*...but its never so simple... happy or sad... *Rubs my hands together suddenly feeling alittle nervous in a lost sort of way. Like walking down a empty, endless hallway.*

I guess... what I really want... is to not have this heart and soul anymore. I cant take back all the things that I have done... *Takes my hat off a carpet of short black hair beneath, so unlike my kin in every way, like a storm cloud and a sunny day. Clears throat alittle bit keeping my eyes down.* I could say I'd take all those things back but... but it wouldnt matter.... it'll never matter. So... rather then carry it around with me... sell my heart and soul. Let someone who can put better use to it have it... so that I dont have to hurt and suffer in my own guilt, though Im sure that pleases many.
