conversations.value: "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin."
  -- 'Troilus and Cressida,' William Shakespeare
  
  Everyone had a reason to flee and one woman gave them the means to do it. Now you and others with secrets to hide have to survive and try to thrive in the last of the American frontier in the year 1906.

conversations.value: Badassery in sword form.
conversations.prefix: Katana:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are about to make an impression upon the group. Best make it a good one.
conversations.prefix: Make An Entrance: Preacher (copy):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your life has been an endless streak of violence. Something else needs to fill your days. Now if only you could figure out what that something is.
conversations.prefix: More to Life:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A vial of Meliak's blood. It has different effects on different people but all of them feel very good.
  
  It is also, of course, terribly addicting.
conversations.prefix: Vial of Blood:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Organized thoughts are sound thoughts. You need to keep track of what your mind is doing to itself. Hopefully once you can see the problems, you can fix them.
conversations.prefix: Dear Diary:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You keep your thoughts in it. Public or private, that's up to you.
conversations.prefix: Journal:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are your own master. You control yourself.
  
  Now keep repeating that until it's true.
conversations.prefix: Keep Control:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You can't kill any of these people so you might as well try to be friendly with at least one of them.
conversations.prefix: Make a Friend:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Meliak trusts you to be careful with her library. Don't waste or betray that trust.
conversations.prefix: Library:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've never been very good at fitting in but now you're finally going to no matter what it takes.
conversations.prefix: In Group Status:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The Gentleman of Weapons
conversations.prefix: Jian:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You have a chance at a fresh start! The first is to break old habits.
  
  That means no sleeping around or at least not taking money for it.
conversations.prefix: Break Old Habits:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: The fortune teller made their way quietly out east reading palms, conducting seances, and reading leaves in cups of tea. They tried to hide in audacity, so the fact that they could actually see the future wouldn't be revealed.
  
  The fortune teller also has limited other psychic abilities and the more they let themselves practice the more they learn.
conversations.prefix: Fortune Teller:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Fear will not shake you and running west has left you needing to prove that. You'll take on the world and you'll prove to everyone you can do it by yourself. Especially to yourself. The courageous are strong.
conversations.prefix: Taste of Death But Once:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You don't know what's wrong. This doesn't happen normally, you swear.
conversations.prefix: Out of Bullets:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: No one could possibly make that shot. No one but you, of course.
conversations.prefix: Trick Shot:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This shooter has always had a keen eye and an unnatural sense of where the target was and how to put a bullet in it. It's a useful skill but somehow they never really managed to find a place to settle in. This happened, or that did and next thing they knew they were avoiding another town to dodge the law or the gangs or both.
  
  But they're good with a gun and by God that is a skill always in demand. Especially out West.
conversations.prefix: Exhibition Shooter:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You've always hidden who you are. Now you don't have to and you don't want to any more. You're still learning to love and trust yourself but you're going to get there, God damn it. You will.
conversations.prefix: To Thine Own Self Be True:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Using your abilities gives you unimaginable migraines. They're so bad they make it impossible to focus correctly.
conversations.prefix: Debilitating Headache:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're really difficult to shoot for whatever reason. It's caused some swearing before.
conversations.prefix: Like a Ghost:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Look, you just don't like to exert yourself much, okay? Sweating takes so much work.
conversations.prefix: Easily Fatigued:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You get a brief glimpse into the near future, allowing you the chance to make decisions just in time.
conversations.prefix: See the Future:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You have certain rules and you can't bend them. Not for anything. Ever.
conversations.prefix: Code of Conduct:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You got a really scary presence and people just really don't want to get into it with you.
conversations.prefix: Intimidation:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It can be a strength and it can be a weakness.
conversations.prefix: Pretty Mouth:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It can be a strength and it can be a weakness.
conversations.prefix: Pretty Mouth:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You know how some people just don't seem like good folk? You're one of them.
conversations.prefix: Untrustworthy:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's not cowardice. It's knowing when to retreat.
conversations.prefix: When to Run:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You only have one goal and that is to survive. You'll do whatever you have to, just like you always have. It's as simple as that.
conversations.prefix: Full of Sound and Fury:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: There is something dark inside you. It's always been there, waiting just under the surface, hidden beneath civility and calm. It's time to admit that it's there and confront it or embrace it.
conversations.prefix: Hell is Empty:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've seen this shit all before and you know how these kinds of situations usually go down well enough to give you an upper hand.
conversations.prefix: Field Experience:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You get people and what makes them tick and how to get them to give you what you want.
conversations.prefix: People Person:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Out East, everyone knew you, who you were, and what you were all about. Out West, you can be a new person, whomever you want to be, and it's time to figure out who that person is going to be.
conversations.prefix: You Make Yourself Another:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: This venture has to work. You left everything behind for this and you don't care what you need to do but you will make sure everyone works together and succeeds and is happy about it God damn it.
conversations.prefix: Drink Down All Unkindness:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You gotta know it. And you do.
conversations.prefix: Know the Territory:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You had family and good friends. If you didn't have to be here, you wouldn't be.
conversations.prefix: Homesick:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: When asked, they won't say whether they followed the stripes or bars, but they certainly marched under some flag. The veteran has many skills and knows how to survive. They have something of a reputation, in fact, of being strangely difficult to kill and remarkably hardy.
conversations.prefix: Veteran:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You know what you want; simple. Human. Contact. You're not a monster, no matter what you've been told and you just want someone to finally recognize that; a lover, a friend, anyone at all.
conversations.prefix: Do We Not Bleed:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: There wasn't really hiding out East, not that they didn't try. But the pale rider is visibly... Unsettling. Animals seem to take to them well enough, save those loyal to other humans, but people just get the heebie jeebies around them. But they get by. They don't need much that a gun and a scary look can't get them.
conversations.prefix: Pale Rider:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It's a life. It was a good one, living on the edge of the civilized world. The rancher is friendly with folks and knows more about what it's like in these parts than most of the others; the dangers and the joys. But even a rancher can have their secrets and people out this way tend to be a suspicious lot.
conversations.prefix: Rancher:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Chemicals and electricity, machines and anatomy, the scientist could have a love for any of it and a knack for their area of expertise.  They know the subtleties of their field and can make a science seem more like an art. But one can only make a couple more... Interesting discoveries before people start taking notice. And maybe out West they can do their science in peace.
conversations.prefix: Scientist:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You came out here with a specific purpose and a specific goal. Your ambition drives you and this whole venture will be worth nothing if you can't accomplish what you set out to do.
conversations.prefix: Made of Sterner Stuff:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You don't drink... wine.
conversations.prefix: Peculiar Requirements:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Some people just know how to please others. The prostitute just knows how to do it in a very specific way. For one reason or another, they managed to make something of a name for themselves. For a while that just meant business was good but when people started spreading certain unsavory rumors, it was time to head out. 
  
  And yes, it would be rude to ask what those rumors were.
conversations.prefix: Prostitute:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You have the materials and the ability to create some truly amazing things.
conversations.prefix: Ingenious Creation:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: The world around you simply isn't as interesting as the one in your head.
conversations.prefix: Oblivious:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: They traveled out east, preaching the Word and working His miracles, healing the sick and blessing the faithful. But when one can actually work the miracles they claim it can be hard to stay just a preacher.
  
  The preacher has an inkling of other, darker, powers they could be tempted with, but those don't feel in line with the will of God.
conversations.prefix: Preacher Man:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Got a card you feel should have been played? Dump it now.
conversations.prefix: Card Dump:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Money, money, money. It makes things happen and you have plenty.
conversations.prefix: Flush:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You certainly weren't going to come all this way without protection. No siree.
conversations.prefix: Body Guard:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Beautiful, charming, and rich. She's in charge of this venture, despite being a woman, but no one in her employ ever seems to argue with her.
conversations.prefix: Meliak Ivoen:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You have the Power of God behind you and can heal wounds and illness with a touch.
conversations.prefix: Healing Hands:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Money makes the world go 'round. Now you can give it a spin.
conversations.prefix: Cold Hard Cash:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: When it comes to brute force, you are more than set.
conversations.prefix: Superior Strength:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A loan? Maybe. The Financier has the money, of course; has plenty of it, in fact. But they didn't get all this money by just giving it out to any one who asked. They are shrewd and logical, carefully weighing every business decision and transaction to maximize their benefit (or rather, their payout). Financing trips to the West can be risky, but very profitable. And how better to minimize risk than to join the group?
conversations.prefix: Financier:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You have a guardian angel watching over your shoulder and through sheer damn luck you find most of your problems solve themselves.
conversations.prefix: Lucky Son of a Gun:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You really love money. Sometimes love gets us all in trouble.
conversations.prefix: Usury:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: An older home, far out in the country, little bothered by the rest of the world.
conversations.prefix: Ivoen Manor:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It's not that you're stupid. It's that you just don't know things. A lot of things.
conversations.prefix: Ignorant:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Here's an obstacle about vampires. Shhh. Just soak it up. Appreciate the vampire.
conversations.prefix: Vampire!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're usually the luckiest. Usually.
conversations.prefix: Bad Beat:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're getting up in age and, well... what have you really done with your life? You have some stories sure, but no grand adventures, no big happenings, nothing that will truly leave your mark on the world you lived in. And now you aim to change that.
conversations.prefix: Now Doth Time Waste Me:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Oh, you have your reasons to be out here, but you don't really plan on staying forever or even that long. What you do plan on is having a good time and as much of one as you possibly can, enjoying whatever vices you can get your hands on.
conversations.prefix: The Sin of Covetousness:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: While living by luck might not be the most legal way to go about things, the gambler has always had an uncanny knack for it. Enough that they've had to go by a number of names, since they're no longer welcome at various establishments due to their ability to clean out the house. 
  
  Heading out West has that luck-positive good feeling to it. Whether that's because they have good instincts or because some of the people that owe them money are more likely to pay in fists is anyone's guess.
conversations.prefix: Gambler:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You can stop whenever you want. Really. Maybe. Okay, you can't.
conversations.prefix: Addiction:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Who the hell throws utensils around at dinner seriously.
conversations.prefix: Brian: Sit the Fuck Down:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Good job breaking it, Preacher.
conversations.prefix: Preacher: Screaming is Never Good:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Brian has very likely coerced Ashley into suicide.  He probably shouldn't have guns any more.
conversations.prefix: Hector, Jade, and Brian: Murderer!:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Someone is in need of medical treatment in a real bad way.
conversations.prefix: Jeffrey and Camp: Doctor in the House?:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Being bound can be a blessing.
conversations.prefix: Shackles:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are about to make an impression upon the group. Best make it a good one.
conversations.prefix: First Impressions: Jeffrey:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are about to make an impression upon the group. Best make it a good one.
conversations.prefix: First Impressions: Brian:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are about to make an impression upon the group. Best make it a good one.
conversations.prefix: First Impressions: Jade:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are about to make an impression upon the group. Best make it a good one.
conversations.prefix: First Impressions: Camp:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A young and stern woman, dressed plainly and strictly, like it might hide her beauty. She keeps her nails unusually long for a supposed head house-maid.
conversations.prefix: Ashley Clark:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Exclusively white, they keep their heads low and never speak directly to Lady Ivoen and rarely to Misses Clark. Only take their orders.
conversations.prefix: The Servants:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You are about to make an impression upon the group. Best make it a good one.
conversations.prefix: First Impressions: Preacher:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You are about to make an impression upon the group. Best make it a good one.
conversations.prefix: First Impressions: Hector:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Everyone in this room has quite a story. Maybe you should learn it.
conversations.prefix: Learn About Each Other:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: If this were a table top, you'd all get perception checks.
conversations.prefix: Something off...:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Meliak doesn't get up during the day for grins and giggles. She's in a hurry and wants you to be too.
conversations.prefix: Get the Hell Out Dodge:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Because thinking ahead can save you a lot of trouble. Make a list and post it here. No. Really. Post the lists. What you write is what they bring, minus necessities.
conversations.prefix: Prior Planning:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Another shockingly beautiful woman with a gentle disposition and a deep love of the sun. As well as very sharp teeth and the ability to move with absolute silence. 
conversations.prefix: Sreeja Smith:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: It doesn't matter how often they shoot you, stab you, or hang you.
  It's only a matter of time before you get back up again.

conversations.prefix: Untrustworthy:
conversations.from: human
conversations.prefix: Wild:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Sometimes, it's just better to keep your mouth shut and let others make themselves look like fools.
conversations.prefix: Strong Silent Type:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Some folks know a lot about a few things. Some folks know a little about everything. You? You just know a lot.
conversations.prefix: Scholar:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: I'm much more than a pretty face, thank you. It takes some doing to get into Harvard, after all.
conversations.prefix: Medico:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: As a lifelong novice of the monastery, Jade knows well the value of every being. As a courtier in the Capitol, she learned how far a silver tongue can get you. She can make you feel like the only person who matters-- all it takes is a simple favor...
conversations.prefix: The Diplomat:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: These bones don't move like they used to.
conversations.prefix: Old Man:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Stuck in their ways and immune to reason, this character cannot see themselves in the wrong even if they might be wrong.
conversations.prefix: Hard Head:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: An incredible ability to focus on a mission or task at the expense of the development of other skills.
conversations.prefix: A Mind of One:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It is not that Hector has not seen women before, it's that Meliak is the first one he's *seen* in a *very* long time.
conversations.prefix: She Walks in Beauty:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: A Preacherman knows his way around a sermon and can deliver the righteousness of the lord with such power that even nonbelievers cry halleluja.
