I very rarely put someone into a fight after one post. Even two you are safe but after that all bets are off.

...I'll just sit there eatin' my fill an' burpin' an' such, then.

There's always scratching.

...that was a given.

"What?! I ain't had a proper bath in two weeks, puhn yoh! You'd scratch it, too, were it yers!"

This is what you would know about Whitefall through the cortex and the rumour mill.

The fourth moon of Athens of the Georgia system is Whitefall, a large percentage (60-70%) of which is owned by a woman named Imogen Patience. Whitefall is said to not be civilization "in the strictest sense." Truth be told - once the planet was terraformed, families were dumped there with a case of rations, the deed to their land and whatever equipment they could afford. Patience was able to become mayor by a combination of buying out starving families, forcing out others, stealing cattle (rumoured), smuggling (rumoured), use of indentured servants to work the land, developing her own law enforcement (her deputies) and later by bringing the only hydrogen plant to the moon (allowing her to control the fuel for almost everything). The United Planet Alliance recently made her governor of the moon although that really holds little sway to the people of Whitefall. Some of the more successful owners of Ranches recently pulled together to form the Rancher's Lodge as a means to counter Patience.

It is rumored that there is a Blue Sun facility underneath one of the mountains, although what they are producing is unknown. The K-3 Mining Post on Whitefall is a major alliance mine for copper, iron and other metals.

Whitefall was untouched by military conflict during the war, but the populace still felt the harsh effects of trade disruptions. Most people here live by means of farming, ranching or hunting. A popular pastime is bare-knuckle boxing matches, fought between ranch hands or champions of the local bosses. Spectators bet on the matches and bragging rights are held dear by the winner.

The threat of Reavers raiding parties has made the settlers here over-protective and perhaps a bit paranoid. Patience was forced to beef up the satellite detection grid and get a few security measures in place.

Are you waiting on posts from us before continuing at the ranch?

I am waiting on the fact that I left my flashdrive at home today and it has my rocinante post on it. Tonight then.

Looking forward to it

Ah, Flash drives... I know the feeling.

I have one that I use to post from work so I don't have to put it the company server. But it's gone missing. I hope it just fell between the seats of the car.

Details on the Town will follow soon. As I see it you need to decide on a plan of action tonight with who is going where to see about a job.

Sam'd enjoy the guay outta going to the Slaughterhouse! Of course, if Wyatt would prefer he stay back to mind the boat (and not ruin any potential dealings by runnin of at the mouth), I can work with that too.

It is afternoon on Whitefall where you are and you had lunch, not dinner.

In the case of Supper vs Dinner, which comes first? And, if supper comes before dinner, doesn't that technically make it lunch?

Sorry for the lag. The last two weeks at work have been very stressfuland I've just been brain fried. I will try to get a post up. Asher will be a bit preoccupied thinking of Reavers, being he's never encountered them before. He'll be a bit snitty with Sam about his guns.

Just a passing thought, maybe Asher and Wolf might be interested in the bare knuckle fights. If there is prize money to won or folks to impress to get a job.

See I have ideas, just haven't been able to flesh them out.

Lordy..I've needed this LONG holiday weekend so much to chill.
I'm taking Monday and Wednesday off along with the 4th holiday. So rest, food, beer and friends might get me recharged.
