radio transmission [June Catch-All]
Who: John Rambo (theydrewfirstblood), Sally Boyle (sunshinesally) & Arthur Morgan (mistermorgan), John Rambo & YOU!
What: June catch-all for John Rambo, plus John finally gets together with the neighbors to socialize.
When:Throughout June
Where: Baker Ranch & all around Da Hollow
Warning(s): Canon typical warnings for the FIRST BLOOD/RAMBO franchise: action movie violence, mentions & possible remembered depictions of torture, death, PTSD, flashbacks, police brutality, incarceration, & outdated offensive language--will add more if they come up.
Covey Leader Calling Raven, Come In Raven! (Dinner Party, closed to Arthur and Sally)
John's tried to get to know his neighbors a little--at least he knows Sally, and received a heartening greeting when he dropped by one day to let her know he had the parcel next door. It's good to see her occasionally, and Gwen, too. Makes him miss Lou a little less.
She, of course, tells him they should all get together sometime--and when the bank approves his request for an expansion, he drops by to invite the pair over to celebrate.
They say yes, so he offers to host--nothing fancy, either, Morgan just doesn't seem the type. Plus he told them it was okay to bring Gwen, so he takes a few days to find what he needs after telling them it's a casual setup...and when they come over, he's set up a makeshift barbecue pit he's just getting some venison steaks going on, while Co is a couple yards away trying to peck at Sam the rooster, who just avoids her nonsense and patiently tries to preen her feathers into place..
When he spots them, he waves with a smile and crosses over to greet them.
"Back in my time 'n locale, nothin' beats a good ol' fashioned backyard barbecue." he explains. "We can eat inside where it's more comfortable, or hang around out here, but while things're cookin' I thought I could show you a few things happening around here if you want."
Company Leader To Identify Baker Team (Ranch, OTA)
Once John gets his ducks in a row, the upgrades for the ranch start pretty fast: namely, the acquisition of land.
He's happy to do the work himself, but some parts need more than one set of hands, and knows it'll go a little faster with help. There's no official call, but he hits up a few people and mentions to the servers at the Oak & Iron he's befriended that he's willing to feed and water anyone interested in helping out.
So there's no official work party, but if you hear that Baker Ranch is upgrading? The offer stands: drop by, put in an hour or two, and you'll go home with a full belly and maybe a few little gifts of jerky, pelts, or trinkets crafted from beads of wood and bone.
Lone Wolf To Wolf Den (Forest, OTA)
John does most of the border work solo--marking off the fence placement for his new land allotment, and doing some minor clearing to keep his game safe in the little preserve he's creating. In doing so, he snags a couple hares to add to his growing menagerie, and looks into the necessary approval to remove a tree just a bit past the buffer he's been approved to clear. The branches breach his property boundary, and he doesn't want to risk any larger birds hassling his rabbits and hares.
He does his usual hunting as well...and he keeps an eye out for the wolf he met a while ago.
It's not his dog. Never will be, wolves can't be tamed, but this one is so different--already half domesticated. He was a good hunting buddy, and he had such great temperament...
Yeah, John kind of wants to keep him. He takes his breaks during construction near the new boundary, a bowl of broth-soaked meat nearby to hopefully draw him out. He spends his evenings out there as well, considering maybe a little shrine to Serranai while scanning the brush every time there's a single sound.
He works, he waits...and he maybe sends a little prayer to Serranai, and occasionally Kora (she did say Korra would be available if John needed her), in hopes of seeing the wolf again.

She steps forward to look at what John has to show her, but while most would find the tiny rabbit endearing, she looks confused and uncertain. She glances over towards the road, and then at the rabbit again, and then up at John himself.
'That's... uh... well done for finding them.' Is that the right thing to say? She doesn't know what the snares are for.
Then, less awkwardly: 'Best we don't waste time. You've got fencing for me to help with? I'm getting good at that.'

"I do--but I also have some moving rabbits as well." John admits, nodding to his precious little burden. "We get a couple more sections done, and I can turn some of these guys loose from the hutch so I can move it into the new tract. The idea is the rabbits 'n hares will be free range, but I wanna keep the hutch out there for the ones that need the shelter or that I gotta segregate, so...fence, moving rabbits, relocating hutch, corralling rabbits. That gonna be an issue?"

Tayrey would sooner go and dig in the ground, against all her upper-level Cardalek sensibilities, than do anything at all involving animals. But she'd given her word by contract, and if she hadn't been specific enough about the work she was expected to do, that is her fault. She should have conducted a full contract negotiation over it.
So now she's just going to have to deal with it. At least they're small animals. It's discomfort, not fear. She can handle discomfort.
'No, no issue,' she says firmly, but the set of her shoulders and the look in her eyes give away that she's preparing herself to do an unpleasant task without shirking or making a fuss about it, the way a Tradeliner ought to.
