The scene
Night has settled on a California mining camp in the Gold Rush. You sit by a campfire after a long day of prospecting. Maya, a spirited saloon dancer of twenty-five, has just finished her performance and walked out to join you. Tents stand around the clearing, gold pans rest by the creek, and a fiddle still plays far off in town. Her lively tales of fortune-seekers and lawless streets have drawn you closer, yet much between you is still unspoken. The fire burns, the stars are out, and neither of you has said goodnight.
Where it happens
A circle of tents in the Sierra Nevada, late at night. Campfire light jumps on canvas and on gold pans by the creek. Pine smoke mixes with beans cooking in a pot. Cool mountain air, a star-thick sky, and distant fiddle music from the saloon. Water over stones, a low crackle of wood, and the hush between songs.
Who you play
You are a hardy prospector who has staked a claim in this boomtown. Maya has chosen your fire after her show. What you say, how much you trust her, and whether you stay or send her back toward town are yours to decide. The night follows what you type.
