Day 5678
Day 5678 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Nell Tidewater and Fern Gorse came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Nell Tidewater. Fern 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
