Billy looked at the money and said, "Six dollars? I thought we was getting thirty?" He looked at the cash, then up at Grainger, "...a piece."

Is what Billy might have said, .... no. He wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth like that. "I'll take it!"



By all means, skip ahead. We'll let the disgruntled Taylor and Finney have it out later in the story. A little sub plot we can weave into the story.

Any room on that train for horses? I know both Billy and Finney have horses.

Billy and/or Finney could probably arrange transport for the horses. (Though Grainger has not covered that expense)

They stashed them in the stable in Sweetwater.

I can't think of anything in response to Kelewen's post. What are we doing next?
Train moves. Anything on the train? Taylor's racist views come to light yet? or save those for later?

@BigPapaBelial, do you want another chance to post before I go again? (certainly no rush! :) )

I should be able to post this evening (EST). Both Billy and Finney had not noticed the boy who wants to be a gunslinger. They will not notice he is alone.

@Kelewen you have a fun story you are weaving. Happy to be a part of this. When I first read that he wanted to be a gunslinger, I thought to myself, "most little boys want to be the sheriff." I remember when I was a little boy playing guns, my friends and I all wanted to be the cops. No one wanted to be the robbers. 19th century America was very religious and the children were taught to follow a "good" role. In fact, it has been that way for a few thousand years, at least. It seems the notion of playing the role of the villain or bad guy has come out in the past 20 years or so.

I'd agree. I don't remember playing cops and robbers much as a kid. We tended to prefer ninjas (probably power rangers influenced in hindsight. :) ) But yes, we were nearly always all 'the good guys'!

And no worries. This doesn't hinge on interactions with any single NPC.

Sorry about my absence/Delayed posting. I didn't realize we were in a firefight. Also, please note, that I am accustomed to advanced writing standards. I hope my post wasn't too long. I really want to develop Finney's character as a naivete` and slowly change him into a hardened gun fighter in the old west. It will take time. He is not there yet, but this experience should put him in the right direction. Billy is his teacher; as are the rest of you! Like Sergio teaching him some hand to hand combat techniques.

No worries. When you're writing for two characters, it's hard to keep it short! :)

Just so I get this right. When Billy and Finney started shooting out the back of the passenger car...

One of the riders, on a white pinto planned to board at the rear of the passenger car, but backed off because of the shooting.

(a) shorter figure riding a brown and white pinto...


the rider backed off complaining there were more guards than they expected. But Bobby and Sparrow are now a more immediate threat to the guys at the front of the passenger car; Sergio, Misti and Taylor...

Bobby and Sparrow have brought their horses up beside the little platform at the back of the express car. The Navajo man grabbed ahold of the railing and made the transfer from saddle to train with surprising ease. Bobby, still in his saddle, pointed his revolver toward the passenger car door...


Do I have that right now?

I ask because I just read Ed's post for Sergio and it appears he turned to head for the back of the passenger car?

I'll let @Eviledd1984 say for sure... but I took his post as Sergio headed toward the front of the car with Misti & Taylor. (Also where Bobby and Sparrow Hawk are trying to gain entrance to the express car, which is directly in front of the passenger car.)

The rider on the brown and white pinto did indeed back off, but was not the one to yell. The one who yelled was a dark haired man of average height (the same that Sergio recognizes!)

@Landain

I apologize for the confusion; i thought i was having Sergio moving forwards with the others. I can edit my post so he can be with the others.

@Eviledd1984Sergio is inviting William and Phineas to help pursue the outlaws towards the front of the train. I should have a post up later tonight. I can't see much happening yet. The Express car will have a very confining space which is fine for two people fighting it out, but with more than that it will get crowded quick. HOw about climbing a ladder and climbing across the top to the Express car? Stop Bobby at that end or possibly shooting at Mr. Linch from a position of height? or moving across the Tender Car as well?

Folks still interested? Is the action dragging too much? If so, we can narrate ahead a bit to keep it going.
