Day 873
Day 873 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Lark Ferris and Ewan Callahan came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Kip Doyle is in Seahaven General after they went over on the cobbles carrying rather too much at once. Lark Ferris is not currently speaking to Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Chowder Question takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
