Day 5241
Day 5241 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Cass Tanner and Truman Beaumont came to (very gentle) blows over a difference of opinion regarding the jukebox. Truman Beaumont is not currently speaking to Cass Tanner. Truman Beaumont 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 Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
