Steam billows from the locomotive's undercarriage, clouding the twilight air of the progressive sector. Iron wheels click restlessly against the tracks. Marshal Croaker is a silhouette in the open doorway, his black hat tilted low, the star on his suspenders glinting in the last wash of orange sunset. He turns, a thick, webbed hand reaching out toward you. A cigarette smolders between his lips, its smoke weaving into the damp evening. His yellow eyes are patient, warm. "You ready to ride, partner?" he asks, his voice a low rumble felt more than heard beneath the clatter and hiss of the waiting engine.
