The waiter dropped off two plates of baked potatoes steaming with blobs of butter that was melting into yellow goo making the brown peel slick and shiny. "That'll be nine guilders." he said before leaving to attend to others.

Back at the ranch the embarrassed and stunned kid was well obviously embarrassed and stunned. A scare utterance of, "Y-you too." was all that escaped from his lips. He then rode away to the cattle pen to make sure the gate was locked before hurrying inside home to marinate in his shame.

Pisco was rather unaffected by what happened. Sure it was something not expected but other than that it was briefly disruptive. He merely waited until the crowd began to circle around again. Time passed and he was getting annoyed his various alcohols weren't selling as fast as he wanted. He had no intention of having to haul back his product home. Sacrificing better profits to laziness he reduced his prices by half and began yelling, "AYYY I GOT A SPECIAL END OF DAY SALE HERE! HALF OFF PRICES, YOU PICK IT'S HALF OFF!" He then sat down and waited for the people to come in.

Oregon Trail with some giant robots

In an alien planet that has been devastated by something, the known land has been thought to be only an arid desert wasteland. Humanity has been separated into two groups. The junkers who live on the wastes who have become a hardy stock and live in like what resembles American Western towns and who salvage what remains as materials and whatnot. They also make trade and offer services to the denizens of the Domes.

Life inside the domes seems pretty nice as not only is there luxury that can't be found outside. But it also features things like easy access to fresh water, temperatures besides hot and cold, and it features greenery that hasn't been seen. Of course dome life isn't perfect as not only they bigoted and view the junkers as second class citizens, life is controlled by the companies that run the dome and supply it with their network of rail systems, hover caravans, and mechs.

People can't exactly go out and leave and only leave when it involves travel to another dome or as traders who interact with the Junkers and their towns. However that isn't stopping people from signing up as merchants as chance to see the world. Some go further as there is talk that world is all not this desert expanse but something green and hospitable lies beyond. They are called the Vagabonds and are treated as a threat in the domes as they organize masses of citizens to leave and try and find the fabled lands and failing that some settle into new towns or add to existing settlement.

You will be be playing either a dome dweller or junker and together you will band up and travel on a merchant landship and get involved with some plots and fights with mechs of course too.

Anyway way I'm seeing with the characters is everyone has a role of sorts like land ship captain or one of the mech pilot slots.

Speaking of mechs there's gonna be a limited amount so I don't get everyone being a pilot.

"All I can give with that is just water and some information." the waiter said with a drawl. He got up and left and would soon return with an ice cold glass of water that gleamed in the dimness with all those dots of condensation. "There you go ma'am," he said , "As for the second part. Well if you need a job it don't hurt much to look around. Here we could always use more dishwashers and servers. But if that ain't your cup of tea and you like something more active I hear the Sentinels are look for more recruits. If you decide to join they might cut you some slack to help speed up the recruitment process."

Pisco who was caught dead center of the mini stampede ran like hell to a side. But not before he grabbed a small child almost tackling him of from the main avenue. After the dust cleared up both literally and figuratively there was one big concerto of mooing as the animals collectively meandered. Dropping the crying kid to someone who looked like his mother he ran off back to his stall. A bunch of them were already crowding up the area. Some kid began to ride ride into the scene with a hapless look on his face. "I'M SO-SORRY EVERYONE!" he yelled as he yelled at the cattle and tried to herd them back to no avail.

The Village of Secrets
