Day 5253
Day 5253 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Linus Tidewater and Jonah Ferris came to (very gentle) blows over a disagreement over who really caught the biggest fish. Jonah Ferris is not currently speaking to Linus Tidewater. Cole Whitlow is not currently speaking to Perry Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. What Our Song Actually Is takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
