Day 3172
Day 3172 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Toby Tanner and Hattie Whitlow came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Ewan Callahan is not currently speaking to Perry Gorse. Bram Tidewater is in Seahaven General after they slipped on the wet planks down at the dock. 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.
