Day 291
Day 291 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Training montages occur. Trash talk remains extremely polite. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Dot Ferris has been quiet lately, and keeps starting sentences she does not finish. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Great Chess Rivalry reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
