Day 2872
Day 2872 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Bea Callahan and Orson Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Orson Ferris. Bea Callahan is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
