Day 3995
Day 3995 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Wren Gorse and Ike Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over an argument about the correct way to pronounce "buoy". Ike Tidewater is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. Wren Gorse 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. The Leak at The Bakery takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
