Hey Ace. Long time no write. I feel like I've said as much, somewhere. Maybe on that note that went walking away with what I thought was a pile of rocks.
I have finally gotten that neon sign up and lit up in the bar. Looks great- I sketched it out here but the lack of color and well, lighting, hardly does it any justice.

We've had more people popping up around here, and a whole other city for exploring. That's where I spent a good chunk of the previous month, actually. Got a rough map, might refine it some. Turns out that this new place is a mirror image of Temba, just on a slightly smaller scale, I think. Also, the previous inhabitants may very well have been the Graq, but how that works out is anyone's guess so far.
No one's disappeared lately, not since Holliday. That one still stings, but I guess I can't be mad for it. She's back where she oughta be. That's good enough for me, or it should be. Guess it's my fault for getting my hopes up about Sparrow races and all.
There's been some influx of kids, which is concerning, but given everything else, whatever parameters the Agrii have set up for bringing in 'heroes' seems pretty broad. At least they're pretty spunky. This one kid, Alberto? I think you'd get along with him. Fearless, eager to see and try out new things. He asked me to teach him how to scout. I think he's already got a good baseline to start with. How early is too early to start training Hunters?
