Sovay, Sovay all in a day,
She dressed herself in man's array,
With a brace of pistols by her side,
To meet her true love she'd ride.
This is an excerpt from a celtic folk song about a woman who decides to test her lovers loyalty by disguising herself as a highwayman and robs him. She decides that if he doesn't give up the ring she gave him as a token of her love, she'll let him live and if he doesn't she'll shoot him. In the song it immediately cuts to later when the two lovers are together and the man spots his watch hanging from Sovay (or Sophie's cloak) where she reveals that she robbed him and planned to kill him if he'd given up the ring.
I really would love to rp this with someone, starting from before the robbing; probably rp why she decided to test him in the first place to the reveal of her intentions and his reaction to it. Also, I want to set it as a western as seen from the title of the topic. I'd play Sophie [Sovay] so I'd need someone to play the man.
Any takers?
