Alright Pony Express AU summary time!!!
Roles:
Rusty: Ranch boy/cow header
Pearl: Working saloon girl (Waitress learning how to dance)
GB: Corrupt sheriff/Gang leader
Electra: Gang leader
Notes:
-Everything takes place in a very small town called Apollo Victoria (kinda like Strawberry in rdr2)
-The engines are all apart of Gb’s gang disguising as deputies and GB is a corrupt Sheriff who’s secretly a gang leader.
-The freight all work on Poppa/Momma’s ranch. Rusty specifically is a stable hand & cow hearder
-The coaches are all working in the same saloon. Memphis belle used to work there but was kicked out and now is staying at Poppa’s ranch
-Electra and the comps are a gang of con artists and criminals
Story (I’ll dedicate a time to write a thorough summary but for now have this):
-Pearl dreams of escaping Apollo Victoria to go to a big city. Rusty (her best friend) promises to run away with Pearl after he gets enough money.
- GB is a corrupt sheriff who keeps targeting Rusty and taking Rusty’s money
-Electra rides into town and threatens GB bc he knows GB is secretly a criminal. GB gets intimidated and challenges Electra to a race for control of the town and the silver dollar.
-Rusty overhears about the silver dollar and realizes that its the only way he’ll ever get enough money to escape Apollo Victoria with Pearl. So he tells GB that he overheard what Electra said and that he’s going to race for the dollar too.
-No starlight express in this one, instead Memphis Belle is the one who helps Rusty after he’s cheated and beaten up
-Rusty gets sabotaged but more in the Slick fashion which forces everyone to rerun the race. Also no Heats its just Electra, GB, and Rusty
-Pearl races with Electra bc she believes getting on his good side is the only way she’ll ever be able to leave Apollo Victoria
