Day 5118

Day 5118 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Bea Callahan and Ike Tidewater came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Bea Callahan is not currently speaking to Ike Tidewater. Ike Tidewater 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. Something in the Pond reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
