[DL] Creatures of the Reckoners pt 2

[Soothsprayer <hercubadger@yahoo.com>]

If you're not supposed to know of the creatures
inhabiting the Weird West, read no more.








While not all of the Reckoner's creatures are
successful some may be successful far beyond even the
dreams of the Damned. For there is a creature that
begun with humble beginnings and has since surpassed
even the most fevered dreams of the Reckoners
themselves.

One such creature that while spawned from the Happy
Hunting Grounds (left on Motorway 21, take a right at
the Ol' Dog's Bollocks, and just past the OkayDoky
Corral turn off)has taken off unto a life all of its
own here on Earth.

These parasites exist by draining the very life out of
their targets. Incomprehensible as to how they may
exist, how they may procreate, and how they
communicate amongst themselves, these creatures form
diabolic communities far from man's eye and plot a
dreadful revenge against society. With bodies they
defy nature, with motives and drives that rail against
morality, these creatures are the spawn of nightmares
and beyond.

You may have seen them whisper through the fields on a
hot summers day. You may have heard their progress
across your porch after the sun has gone down and they
feel safe to come close to your home. You may have
heard their strange language of clicks and groans as
they communicate in tongues man was not meant to know
(not even the French). 

For they are the parasites of the endless plains. They
are the plague of the farmlands. You will not find
them in the cities, you will only find their kind
amongst farmlands where they may remain hidden from
sight until they strike.

Banjo playing, bucktoothed and bared feet, strangely
all related to but one parent, they are the Prairie
Hicks.

It is rumoured that are controlled within a matriarchy
and evidence so suggest this to be so. The Prairie
Hicks appear to answer to one leader (of whom they
refer to in their twisted tongue as "Maw") and this
leader controls their every impulse. Evidence also
suggests that the Prairie Hicks were originally from
the same stock of man. After being (in)bred for
selected traits, the Reckoner's released their vile
creatures back unto the earth to promote fear and
horror.

Their methods are simple and yet fiendishly effective.
One such tactic is to enter a developed area, be it
city or township, and mimic the complete inability to
drive or even navigate without travelling at 1 KPH
with much weaving and swaying across the road surface.
With continual shouts of "I ain't seen it yet maw!"
the Prairie Hicks focus rage and bewilderment from
those who follow this progress, much to the enjoyment
of the Reckoners. 

The Prairie Hicks follow an appearance of a common
theme. Overalls seem to be a must (only buttoned on
one side with the other side hanging lose for ease of
armpit air circulation), a faded cap emblazoned with
the name of a common agricultural machinery company,
unruly hair, bared muddy feet, and last but not least
within their mouths the sort dental abomination that
even the British would never allow to exist within
their walls. I speak not of just bad teeth, but bad
teeth that could almost be a scale model duplication
of Stonehenge if indeed the original creators had been
the type of person to drop acid before scratching out
their own eyes with lettuce and THEN deciding upon the
proper layout of the stones. Also, they all seemed to
be named Cletus. Go figure. 

Some consider the Prairie Hicks to be harmless and but
an annoyance. These people have never been trapped
inside a stage coach or storm cellar with a Prairie
Hicks insistent on delving deep into the recesses of
their latest abscess, or the never ending questions of
"wot ya doin'?", "wot ya readin?", "yor purdy, wot ya
name?" Evil knows no greater depths than this.  

Bewarned, lock your doors and bar the windows at
night. For the Prairie Hicks may come knocking on your
doors.
