What is Bad Luck: Dice City's general story and chapter flow? Here's a rough outline of the story i have so far. I will edit and update as I go, nothing is final! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLDC is a story of an infamous outlaw, Felix "Casino" Luck, being dragged into saving Dice City and Payroll Town from a corrupt government. (The first chapter) Casino's story starts when they take the train down to wherever it goes, being a wanderer, not really focused on the destination. SnakeEyes, their rival, bounty hunter chasing them down for- you guessed it, Casino's bounty. After a scuffle happens and bullets fly, Casino gets off the train early, not at Dice City, but a small rural mining town past its hay-day, called Payroll Town. After getting situated at the bar, not excused from terrified eyes, SnakeEyes moseys in and sits next to Casino, offering to pay for their drink, to which Casino agrees. While stuff is oddly peaceful and the townsfolk put their guard down, a large BANG echoes outside. The sheriff, who is also the mayor, runs in screaming about how The Conductor's gang knocked over their water tower and kidnapped his son, only to scream in terror as Casino, infamous all across the county, is in the building. After chaos ensues from only him, SnakeEyes proposes that he, and Casino, will go take care of this so called Conductor and his gang, to which Casino silently obliges. The Conductor is a large, train sized bipedal automaton who runs a gang of goons who help him live and thrive in the scrapyards in the outskirts. He had a wife and daughter, but they were killed. In the outskirts of the town, SnakeEyes and Casino stand around, unsure where this Conductor would be. SnakeEye remarks on how it shouldn't be too hard to find him, and Casino shrugs. And within seconds of this exchange, both are bodyslammed by the force of a train by the Conductor, both knocked out cold. Casino awakens surrounded by his goons, and missing their gatling gun arm. Meanwhile, SnakeEyes, and Dallas, the Sheriff's kidnapped son, are both tied to some train tracks and are expecting to die any moment now. Casino appears rather unscathed, as if destroying the goons unarmed. The Conductor flexes that he has Casino's gimmick, and reveals that he kidnapped Dallas for ransom money, but he'll gladly be avenging his wife and daughter, both victims of Casino's villainy. He boasts about Casino being unarmed, but Casino replies by revealing their flintlock on their hip and getting a cheapshot at The Conductor as he laughs. A fight ensues, but Casino focuses on expertly shooting the rope holding SnakeEyes bound (so he can save Dallas) and shooting the belt off the Conductor, to get their Gatling Gun arm back. Dodging and tricks go on and on, until The Conductor is standing on the tracks. Casino utters the first word they say all chapter, being simply "See you." with a salute. The Conductor then gets hit by the train and is simply gone with the wind. SnakeEyes, Dallas and Casino all walk back to town, as Dallas hypes Casino up, regarding them as a hero, which ends quickly when they get back to the bar and he discovers that they're a wanted criminal, outright verbally abusing them, before saying they're going back to Dice City. After that, the sheriff cries about how the town will literally die with no water, which they get from Dice City directly. SnakeEyes suggests that in the morning, he and Casino will go out to the City and ask the Governor for a new water tower. They rest for the night, sharing a bed, and are off to the station the next day. That's pretty much the barebone basics i have for chapter 1.

Been brainstorming abt side quests and stuff to like, have a relationship (not in a actual romantic sense) dynamic system
And I feel like after the conductor fight when SnakeEyes and Casino return to town, they only have room for one bed.
And when they enter the room SnakeEyes goes
“Well… got two choices. Y’want the bed to yourself, or are we sharin?”
>”Yes, I’d like the bed for myself.”
>”Im alright, we can share.”
>”…”
First one has Casino sleep in the bed by themselves, and SnakeEyes sleeps on a chair in the same room.
Second one has them share the bed, which is 3/4ths SnakeEyes’ fat ass and 1/4th Casino (their Gatling gun arm is on the floor, still connected)
Third one has SnakeEyes go “I’ll let ya think about it when you’re sure.” And it’s a “do this later” option so you can go back to roaming the town.
If you choose to share the bed, it’s 3/4th SnakeEyes and 1/4th Casino;

Casino killed his wife not too long ago, so when Casino and SnakeEyes head to the outskirts to save Dallas from The Conductor, he tackles them, instantly defeating both.
Casino awakens, tied up by the wrist and neck, GatlingGun-Less, as they hear the screams of Dallas.

The Conductor
A locomotive with a vengeance, he runs the outskirts of town like it’s his property.

While they don't always get along, Dallas and Casino do have their moments. The symbol of a cowboy hat on someone is, "what's under the hat goes home with the cowboy" oo la la

Wakey wakey!
Casino has insomnia. No matter what they do, they can’t pass out in peace. At the start of the story, their rival, SnakeEyes, interrupts their attempt on a train.
