Running Late on Payday

*Running Late on Payday* (aka *Byers Pass*) is the second mission of Desperados III.

## Description

A train owned by the influential DeVitt Company is on its way to the town of Flagstone. At Byers Pass, it runs into an unexpected roadblock.

### Loading Story on Start

Running on freshly laid tracks, a heavily loaded train snakes along the Rocky Mountain landscape.

Its wagons—bearing the sign of the DeVitt Company—have been freshly loaded in Denver and now carry people and goods towards the small mountain town of Flagstone.

As the train enters Byers Pass, mood among the passengers grows uneasy. Bandits are roaming these parts, and the company has lost more than one train in recent months.

Maybe the mercenaries hired to escort the train will be enough to deter any attackers this time.

### Loading Story on Savegame Load

John Cooper is sitting on the train to Flagstone, when suddenly, at Byers Pass, his ride is ambushed by bandits. He remains undetected, but the task ahead is clear.

If Cooper wants to keep his appointment in Flagstone, he'll have to take care of the bandit problem first.

He uses his ancestral war cry to draw the attention of enemies. Hawkeye has mastered the art of shamanistic healing and can heal all friendly characters if he has the right herb.

Diplodok

**Diplodok** - rodzaj dinozaura z rodziny diplodoków, żyjącego niegdyś na terenach dzisiejszej Ameryki

## Diplodok

### Płeć

Samce i samice

Północnej, w okresie późnej jury.

## Wędrówki z dinozaurami cz. 2 - Czas Tytanów

Na początku, widzimy stado dorosłych diplodoków przemierzające otwarte równiny. Następnie możemy ujrzeć złożone przez samicę jaja, a właściwie ich pozostałości, z których wylęgły się już młode. Część z nich zostaje pożarta przez ornitolesta. W odległości zaledwie 10 metrów od drapieżnika, poszycie leśne zaczyna się poruszać. Spod podszycia wychodzi stado młodych, nowonarodzonych zauropodziątek. Ocalałe przed atakiem ornitolesta młode pędzą w głąb lasu. Ich matka ze względu na swoją wielkość złożyła jaja na obrzeżach lasu, maluchy jednak muszą ukryć się w gęstwinie, ponieważ potrzebują schronienia aby przetrwać. W obliczu zagrożenia zauropodziątka zastygają w bezruchu, polegając na swoich barwach ochronnych.

Nieco później, poraz kolejny zauważamy prawdopodobnie to samo, pasące się stado dorosłych diplodoków. Po uczcie stado gigantów rusza w dalszą podróż.

Rok później, gdy znów mamy szansę zobaczyć te same, jednak nieco podrośnięte już młode, zostają one zaatakowane przez dwa allozaury. Jeden z młodziaków podczas ucieczki zbliża się do stegozaura, a ten zadaje mu jego ostateczny cios swoim ogonem, wyposażonym w śmiercionośne kolce.

W innym miejscu stado dorosłych diplodoków karczuje las, w ten sposób kształtując swoje otoczenie.

Doc McCoy is sitting in a private room at the local saloon. He has taken apart his Buntline, inspecting and cleaning every piece, a grim smile of satisfaction on his face.

McCoy reaches down into his bag to retrieve an oil cloth. His hands brush against something that should not be there. A letter. He slowly picks it up, inspects it from each side, then opens it with a scalpel.

"A new contract has come in. Details are enclosed within the envelope. My clients expect nothing but quality, Mr. McCoy. Impress them, and I will consider part of your debts repaid."

McCoy reads the letter carefully, then burns it at a nearby candle. As it burns, he reassembles his gun with quick, well-practiced movements. He is out the door before the ashes have cooled.

### Loading Story on Savegame Load

You have returned to Casa DeVitt, where Doc McCoy must complete a personal contract for the Baron. Stationed on the roof of the mansion, he must eliminate a number of targets with his Buntline without triggering the alarm. Kate and Hector are there to assist him on the ground.

Helldorado

***Helldorado*** is the third game in the *Desperados* series.

## Plot

Angel Face's widow kidnaps and poisons Doc McCoy, and unless Cooper does some 'menial' tasks for her, she will leave Doc to die. These menial tasks inevitably brand Cooper and his friends as criminals, since they involve robbing a bank and stealing a train full of U.S. Army weapons. While Cooper and his team are forced to perform the tasks, they discover that they - as is Mrs. Goodman - are mere pawns for a more dastardly plot: the Mexican revolutionary El Cortador's plan to assassinate the President of the United States. The team eventually intercepts the plan, kills El Cortador and saves the President.

## Gameplay

Gameplay is similar to the Desperados 2: Cooper's Revenge. A new feature named as combo action is added to the game where any two characters can perform a special ability in combination. For example, Hawkeye can shoot a dynamite arrow if Sam has already attached a stick of
dynamite to the arrow. There are total 15 combinations for each pair from six characters. Another feature is added to game where Player can see the performed Quick Actions in film mode as well as have it so Quick-Action Mode will pause the game while the player sets up the orders.

In addition, many of the mechanics from Desperados 2 were refined, knocking out enemies from a Laying Down/Crouched Position is now possible, Combat was re-balanced to be more fair and animation errors/animations that were too slow were fixed.

The Bench

**The Bench** (ザベンチ) is a recurring element in the series, acting as an omen of ill luck, especially to Joro, thus serving as an *indirect antagonist* of sorts.

## Profile

The bench is a white wooden bench with gold painted handles. It is regularly used when a confession occurs, mostly towards Joro, which typically results in a disastrous outcome for him as the confessions received in the bench fundamentally disrupt his "love comedy protagonist" plans.

The bench has appeared in normal places such as parks, but has also (and more commonly) appeared in other nonsensical places, such as the school library, or even the school roof, with little explanation of how it got there. Regardless, because of all the misfortune endured whenever the bench is close by, Joro is painfully aware that any such time in which it is around, equals trouble.

## Events

* Cosmos "confesses" to Joro that she is in love with Sun, ruining his plans with a romance with her.
* Himawari "confesses" to Joro that she is in love with Sun, ruining his plans with a romance with her.
* Pansy confesses to Joro that she is in love with him and blackmails him into spending the lunch break with her, adding chaos into his scheme to date the loser from the Cosmos-Himawari-Sun triangle.
* Sun "confesses" to Joro that he is in love with Pansy, further complicating his plans which temporarily ruins his social reputation.
* Asunaro "confesses" to Joro that she believes him to be a womanizer, and threatens to publish a damning article unless she is allowed to follow him to find proof of his innocence.
* Tanpopo “confesses” to Joro that she wants Sun and Pansy to be a couple.

## Personality

The five girls are very close friends with each other and do not tolerate bullying towards their own, or any of their classmates. If they find a threat they will use their numbers and charisma to intimidate said threat.

After it is revealed that Sasanqua has a crush on Joro, the four unnamed girls begin harmlessly teasing her about it and putting her in somewhat intimate situations with Joro. They actively encourage her to face her own pride and tsundere nature and be honest with herself.

## Synopsis

### Kabuten Arc

Asunaro's incriminating article gets leaked and this comes to the attention of the Charismatic Group. They promptly go and confront Joro, fiercely defending the three mystery girls in the article.

After the situation is resolved, they all, not including Sasanqua, apologized to Joro for their mistaken accusations. Sasanqua apologized by herself later.

### Tsubaki Arc

Sasanqua has changed her appearance to suit Joro's preferences. The other four begin teasing her and trying to get her to be honest with herself.

Sasanqua learns that Joro works at Cheerful Skewers, so the Charismatic Group visit the restaurant together to meet Joro under the pretense of a 'coincidence'.

Episode 3

The third episode of the *Oresuki* anime adaptation.

## Synopsis

After being confronted by Sun-chan, Himawari, Cosmos, and Pansy for his scheme, Joro gets knocked out by Sun-chan. Due to a student watching the confrontation, the school finds out about the incident and the student body ostracizes Joro. Receiving a text from Pansy after a week of bullying, Joro goes to the library to hear Pansy's "true feelings", only to witness Sun-chan flirting with Pansy. Suddenly, Pansy lets out that she knew Sun-chan had tricked Joro by using Himawari and Cosmos' feelings for him to manipulate them into trapping Joro into a bad situation. When confronted into his motives, Sun-chan admits that he had been in a situation like Joro in middle school, only in reverse, and he wanted revenge on Joro for taking away the one girl he had a crush on. Pansy rejects Sun-chan's feelings for her, revealing that she had fallen for Joro after seeing him wait for Sun-chan at the North entrance of Koshien with Sun-chan's favorite foods. Sun-chan then tries to force himself onto Pansy, but Joro comes to her aid and berates Sun-chan for hurting the girls who loved him. The next day, Himawari and Cosmos fend off the bullies (they had also watched the confrontation in another part of the library) and Sun-chan apologizes in front of the class. Joro reports all of this to Pansy, but still doesn't want to keep seeing her in the library. Pansy then undoes her braids and shirt, revealing her true form: a beautiful girl with big boobs. Joro decides to start visiting her everyday.

**Character Profile**
Image Gallery

**Keiki Kisaragi** (如月 桂樹 *Kisaragi Keiki*), also known by her nickname, **Laurier** (月桂樹), is a character in *Oresuki*. She is the mother of Marika Kisaragi and Amatsuyu Kisaragi who is friends with Sumireko Sanshokuin.

## Appearance

Keiki is a slim middle-aged woman with permed brown hair and lime eyes.

She usually wears heavy makeup which is so heavy that Joro didn't recognize her when it had washed off in the rain. According to her husband, she looks much prettier without makeup.

## Personality

Keiki is a chipper and friendly woman. Although she is presumably middle-aged, she speaks and acts much younger than she really is. She calls herself the Forever 17 Heroine (Housewife): Laurier, with the tagline "Laurier, as sweet as Keiki (cake)! Because I'm going to make a get-well visit!"

## Synopsis

### Manga

#### First Arc

Keiki calls Joro from downstairs to buy soy sauce.

## Etymology

* The name **Keiki** means "laurel, cinnamon" (桂樹).
	+ Keiki's nickname **Laurier** is formed by removing the 如 character from her name, which translates to 'laurel', and the French word for laurel is laurier.
		- Laurel is another term for bay leaves, which are often used in cooking and seasoning.
* Marika's surname **Kisaragi** means "February" (如月).

Chapter 4

The fourth chapter of the *Oresuki* manga.

## Synopsis

Amatsuyu Kisaragi narrates, recounting the recent events, including the two confessions to his best friend, his decision to help both Cosmos and Himawari, and getting blackmailed by Pansy. His daily schedule is to meet with Himawari in the morning, Pansy at lunchtime, and Cosmos in the evening.

Himawari greets Joro with a smack on the back as they walk to school. Joro reminds her that, according to their plan, she was supposed to arrive at school before he does, so she runs ahead of him. Joro's plan for Himawari that day was for her to stay by Sun's side as much as possible.

When Joro arrives at school, he sees Himawari chatting with Sun, and the plan seems to be going well. Himawari suddenly takes a strange pose, which Sun interprets as a Kabaddi stance, and strikes the same pose. Himawari raises both arms and touches her fingers together above her head, then asks Sun if he wants to go with her to buy bamboo shoots. Sun says that they can go before his club starts. Himawari asks why they can't go after club activities, and Sun explains that he is meeting with Cosmos. Himawari shoots Joro a brief glare before insisting on coming with Sun and Cosmos and Sun is taken aback by Himawari's persistence. Himawari mentions Cosmos very informally, which causes Sun to turn away from her, offended on Cosmos's behalf and rejecting her offer to go buy bamboo shoots.

Joro sits down in the library, and Pansy comes to speak with him. Joro questions Pansy's intentions, and she teases him a bit before leaving him alone.

After school, Joro walks with Cosmos to meet Sun. Cosmos is memorizing lines from some notes in preparation for talking to Sun. Sun asks Cosmos about her hobbies, and she says that she likes cooking, and she offers to make him lunch tomorrow. Sun says that is a good idea, and asks her if it's okay if he brought Himawari as well. Cosmos is visibly annoyed by the mention of Himawari, and she wonders out loud why Himawari is involved, glaring at Joro as she says it. Sun asks if something happened between Cosmos and Himawari, and Cosmos mentions Himawari in a condescending manner, which makes Sun offended on Himawari's behalf, and he rejects her offer to have lunch together tomorrow.
