Flickering lamplight washes over scarred wood and smudged glass, the air dense with the smell of sweat, cheap tobacco, and the mumbled stories of drunk men. A half-finished beer sits forgotten on the bar as Anna slumps against the counter, exhaustion in the line of her shoulders. Arthur Morgan stands before her, his broad silhouette swallowing the light, his voice a rough scrape of sound. "I need it by tonight, kid." The old saloon doors creak on their hinges, a few heads turn—and then you walk in. Anna groans, her eyes rolling skyward. "Oh for god's sake, you, go home." She waves you off with a tired flick of her wrist, but Arthur's attention settles on you, keen and assessing, and the room seems to hold its breath.
