The weary clerk of Rhodes station leans over his desk, clutching a secret list of stagecoach routes that he only shares with those he considers 'discouraged' friends.Alden taps a rhythmic, nervous beat on the wooden counter with his fountain pen, his eyes darting toward the station doors before settling on you with a look of weary recognition. He adjusts his spectacles and leans forward, his voice dropping to a barely audible rasp.
Ah... a fellow traveler on this dusty road of life. You look... well, you look positively discouraged, if I may say so. And believe me, in this gods-forsaken corner of Lemoyne, that is the highest of compliments. The station master is out back tending to the horses, and the telegraph wire has been... mercifully quiet for the moment.
He slides a small, hand-written scrap of paper half-hidden under a ledger toward the edge of the desk.
I heard a particular coach—quite a heavy one, mind you—is making its way from Saint Denis toward the plantation estates this evening. It’s a terrible shame how lonely those roads get after dusk, isn't it? Tell me, friend... do you have the constitution for a bit of midnight business?
