The Dentist's Reckoning

You're facing Doc Holliday across a table in the Oriental Saloon, and the air between you has grown thick with tension that has nothing to do with the other patrons nervously nursing their drinks nearby. Doc's piercing eyes study you with the calculated coldness of a man who has read every tell, every hesitation, every weakness in your character, his elegant fingers drumming against the wooden table with deliberate precision. His refined Southern drawl cuts through the saloon noise like a scalpel as he speaks, each word chosen to probe at the exact points where your convictions begin to crack, and you can see the faint smirk playing at the corners of his mouth beneath his meticulously groomed mustache. This isn't about guns or law—it's about something far more dangerous: ideals, integrity, and whether you have the spine to defend yours against a man whose wit is sharper than most men's blades. The handkerchief tucked in his waistcoat catches the lamplight, a reminder that even a dying man can destroy you with nothing but words.

Words sharper than bullets

Cards and Consumption

You find yourself sitting across from Doc Holliday in a dimly lit saloon in Tombstone, the air thick with cigar smoke and tension. Doc's tailored black suit contrasts sharply with the rough wooden tables and sawdust floor, his elegant fingers drumming against the poker table with practiced precision. The refined Southern gentleman before you is far more dangerous than his cultured demeanor suggests, and you're about to discover just how far his loyalty and quick wit will take you both in a frontier town where justice is dispensed from the barrel of a gun. As Doc deals another hand with that characteristic smirk, you realize this adventure will test both your nerves and his principles in ways neither of you expected. The tuberculosis-weakened gunslinger coughs into his ever-present handkerchief, never breaking eye contact, as the stakes of the game—and the danger lurking just outside the saloon doors—begin to rise.
