"Fine, my name is Jebidaya. I don't know much about my past, but I think the most appropriate word for it is that I forgot it. I forgot it by hitting my head a whole bunch of times. I like to throw knives, fight, and I made my own revolver." After he said that, he whipped it out. The revolver had a double barrel like a shotgun but it can still fire six shots but in exchange for the six shots, he had to make the chamber bigger, thus heavier. "I also know how to use a sword very well."

As the Revenant passes overhead Nathaniel merely stares in awe. To see a giant steel ship floating through the air without any visible sort of effort was breathtaking. As she flew off into the distance Nathan focused his attention back on the woman across from him. Despite being a soldier she seemed very nice, the kind of person he felt at ease around. "Really something, isn't it? The airship, I mean. What I wouldn't give to stand on the bow and watch the world drift by. What was it like, crewing one of those and sailing the skies?"

"Roight, I'm Jack Mclellan, came here to make me fortune, didn't end up that way, turns out us Irish ain't so popular around here."

"I hear ya, mate. I shanghai here to America to try and make some money and what happens? I get stuck in a war that this backwards country has with itself, I fight all the way through it, and at the end they give me just enough money to buy this with 12 bullets." Leon pulls out an old revolver that has the initials L.R. carved on the side. "I think I only have six left...Shoulda never left Ireland..."

"'Tis..." Mira gazed in awe as well. That was the most grand airship she had ever seen, and yet, La Vèritè that she had served on was a masterpiece of engineering.

"It was... hectic. So much to do, and so much tweaking I wanted to do apart from my normal duties... But as it was the most intense period in my carrier, it was also the most instructive and stimulating. It was also quite something to handle being a grunt mechanic, as I had no experience in airships before serving on it. It did not take long for me to get promoted, true, but still...
Now, as a mechanic, there was not much of that... free, airy feeling you might imagine yourself when looking at the grand things soaring freely and majestically through the skies. I got to see the command bridge perhaps once a day, but it was a compelling sight indeed, all them pompous admirals aside."

Mira spoke with a nostalgic look in her eyes, but seemed a bit glad to not be on it any more.

"I hear you. America, where the streets are paved with gold. Too bad they didn't mention that the gold is all in mines and you have to work hard for it, and then there are criminals who will just take it and leave you with nothing but the clothes on your back."

"Lass, you may be a Brit, but you're one of the few intelligent ones I've met in my time." Before anyone can or would make a remark regarding his hippocracy, Leon sneakily grabs a large bottle of ale off a passing cart and holds it up. "Here's to America, the land where anyone can make a fortune, as long as you're not a foreigner." Leon takes a swig, wipes his mouth and holds out the bottle, offering a gulp to the others around him.

"It's not just being a foreigner. Being a woman is no help either, much less one trying to run an honest bar."

"America...It's so...Hectic."
He said to no one in particular.

Giuseppe speaks with a woman on a food cart, breifly and turns over the last of his Lira for a sandwich, which he devours on the spot.

As the train arrives at the station the party disembarks, they board carriages and are taken to one of the new settlements.
As they arrive at their destination they see a small town, more like a village, and the battered wooden houses line the main street.
A deputy greets the travelers, "I guess that you're the new cannon fodder they brought in here?".

"Aye sir, that would be us," Jack said making a small, clumsy bow "Where do you wish us to set up camp?"

"Just go and get a key at the inn, and stop by my office for your guns" He turns and leaves for his office.

Takes the key from the Inn, confirming which room is his, and departs for the Sherrif's office.

the room that Jeb currently occupies is a small wooden one with a single window and a simple bed.

The deputy greets the arrivals and you see rifles and revolvers lying on the table.
"Now, would you like a rifle or a revolver?" He asks.

"Revolver, please. I never learned how to fire a rifle."

He walks over to the desk and brings out a black leatherbound book, "Please write your name, weapon and number of rounds here" He puts the books down on the table next to the weapons and gives her a pen.

Giuseppe stammered a bit as he spoke, never having used a gun of any sort.

"Rifle, per favore." He squeaked, still speaking in his native tongue

Gieseppe approaches the table, shakily, and writes down his name, his weapon (The Rifle) and "15 shells" after she does.

"After you've finished writing I'll advise you to take a stroll around town, it'll certainly come in handy to know where everything is located, you certainly won't have the time when the indians strike".

Takes his gun, whispering "Dio, perdonare mio peccato."

He continues to accompany the police man in the scenic tour.

Iris puts away her gun and ammo, then walks around the city, admiring the view.

The town is located in a very open area, probably so that it is possible to get an early warning of any attacks.
The houses are two stories tall with flat roofs and some have wooden signs or barricades on top, they look slightly worn from the dry climate.
The climate is dry and arid, there are only a few patches of green in this inhospitable place.
Water is usually collected from a nearby river, which runs between two small hills a few hundred meters from town.

Meanwhile Mira and Nathaniel have arrived at their destination, the small town of Salty dead dog (What?). It's located near the red river, but seeing as that was your only lead, this might be a bit more difficult than you thought.
