Jasper was just here for the gossip. Really, he didn’t give two shits who had bought out the town as it didn’t really matter to him, he had no stake in the matter. As far as the continuing vandalism of the town sign -- well, Jasper had to agree. Edgewater did sux. If they ever did catch the kid -- because no self-respecting adult would spell sucks as sux -- he’d high five the little brat. 

After a long day working and finishing up grading papers, all Jack wanted to do was drink a cold beer and relax. Of course Rammer Jammer was the best place for both so after packing up his things, he headed towards the best bar in town. The room wasn’t overly crowded when he walked in, waving to a few familiar faces as he took a seat at the bar and ordered a pint of Stella and an order of wings. The beer was cool as he took a sip while he waited on his food, turning to the person only a seat down from his. “When do you think this hot weather’ll end? I’m gettin’ fuckin tired of sweating all damn day.”

Opening his own bakery had been Wyatt’s dream from the beginning. Learning how to bake with his mother was one of his fondest memories from his childhood. Anytime he sold out of something new he’d baked, a smile didn’t leave his face for weeks. The whole case was almost bare save a few cinnamon rolls and muffins when he started to slowly close the store. There was only 30 minutes left until he could officially lock up but most people knew that they were short on just about everything so he didn’t see too many people coming in later in the day. The shock of the bell ringing overhead the front door startled Wyatt and he perked his head up to greet the guest with a smile, throwing his cleaning towel over his shoulder. “Hey, what can I do for ya?”

          “’ Strategic?’ ” Grace glanced at the phone barely concealed by her jacket in her lap. On the screen, a bingo board of crossed out popular buzzwords. This meeting was dragging on, and she had to entertain herself somehow. Grace leaned slightly closer to the person seated by her left. “Did he say ‘strategic’? I’m like one spot away from bingo. I’m totally winning this round.”

“Alright, if anyone has a good idea on how to raise the money, I can give you a half-page column of advertising space on the front page of the Edgewater daily, and then maybe half a page at page 15, right before sports.” He scratched his head, it wasn’t much he could offer but business wasn’t really booming. The half-page he offered up probably would otherwise have been filled by some shady weightless product that was nothing more than a expensive laxative.

OPEN - Local park / hiking trail. Sometime in the afternoon.
