[It sounds like Ms. Lynd is en route somewhere with traffic sounding in the background and the wind blowing hard over the audio. In fact, she's a little late to work due to sleeping over a certain someone's house.]

Good morning, Siren's Port. We've got plenty of interesting things planned for the end of this year and the holidays. The first thing that's coming up is a canned food drive to benefit less fortunate Newcomers or those who might need some help in having a good meal these days.

That's where Newcomer businesses come in. I was thinking, if any of you are interested, that maybe we could offer a free coupon book that includes your services to anyone who donates a specific amount. It would be a wonderful way to generate business amongst the community and to advertise.

o yeah should probs have mentioned earlier that he has an accent going

Ah, Chicago... I've never been, but I've heard stories. Of course, I come from Santiago-- [Ah, those fond memories of Pinochet.] --so I understand the desire for such self-preservation, but I suppose it just ended up having the opposite effect on me. I like to think of myself as an optimist.

But then, maybe we can all agree on your last point.

I skimmed your app (avoiding major spoilers in cause I get time for BB), it's cool

To come from one of the great cities of the world and not be a cynic is remarkable. I feel compelled to congratulate you.

Oh, believe me, many don't. But competition is the lifeblood of business. [So John hears, anyway. He hasn't had actual competition in years.]

OH DEAR I WILL PROCEED WITH CAUTION THEN...

[businessman]

No, no. It helps that I've been a very lucky [and rich] man. Even if that luck seems to have taken a turn in the last few months... [He misses all his money, bro.]

heh not high on my agenda right now, no worrying

[freeholding]

[John also misses his money. And power. Gustavo and John, destined to meet and amicably manipulate each other?]

You have my sympathies for that. Luck it worth more than any weapon, I find. Island troubles, or simply separation from home?

IT SHOULD BE.

[businessman]

[They might be some kind of horrible soulmate.]

Oh, just the separation. The island has been very good to me, lack of powers aside. But it's difficult to be so far from home, I'm afraid you may also find.
