“Helldive season is here, and them tunnels the Laskies rebuilt seem to be holding up for the most part. Way I understood it, the fire’s got proper vents now instead of exploding all over the place. Don’t be surprised if a few of ‘em are a little worse for wear though. Helldivers got their work cut out for them either way.”
“How do the dead find home if there’s no Morgue to welcome them back?”
“GLTC pulled the lifejackets and a few other favors from their services. Seems they’re cutting some corners to make up for that shipment that got jacked last month. Heard the guy who was helping their delivery person bailed town after, scared for his life. Does anyone pay the professionals for revenge anymore?”
“Why is it so hard to light a damn campfire or roast a few raiders lately? This migraine sucks. Can’t an Aberrant catch a break? ”
“A Graverobber on Council, a former Ironworks Navy officer as Sheriff, and a blood crazed Digitarian as a Judge. If there’s a joke somewhere in this, I don’t see it.”
“Griffin O’Connell’s finally gone and done it! That thing even looks seaworthy, if you can believe it. Now if only that contraption is as good as the people he’s gonna pay to man it. Good thing he bought them dive suits off the Captain last month. Might need ‘em down there.”
“Mericans got a way of pissin’ off folk without even tryin’. Just look at Councilwoman Turner. She’s always out to do something nice for someone, but in this better than you Nuke Fam kinda way. Heard she bought a Saltwise gal a ship, then slapped her name on the prow. Now that’s some Pureblood arrogance, if I ever saw some.”
“Sterling Controls isn’t hurting for good ideas. But their investors are gonna need to make some tough decisions real soon. Instead of asking all the science types and money bags, maybe they should ask the folks who are gonna use all the stuff they come up with?”
“Anyone hear Judge Remembrance’s pronouncement last trade? Looks like she’s gotta soft spot for murderers. Hope if I ever get in trouble I got an official like that in my pocket. I wonder what it costs to buy a Judge these days?”
“Are those eggs growing on that corn? Or fungus? Or….?”
A handwritten scrap of paper, found on the Announcement board in Town Hall:
“Lost souls mourn longest
Where do we go from here now?
Blood flows out freely”
