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mentions & possible remembered depictions of torture, death, PTSD, flashbacks, police brutality, incarceration, & outdated offensive language--will add more if they come up.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.

"It's a job, but it's not real hard." John assures him with a hand on his shoulder, which he shifts after a moment to scritch the top of the bunny's head where it rests in Edgar's hands. "Believe it or not? The fact you don't know much, if anything, about rabbits means you're equipped to take better care of 'em. There's a lotta stuff in pop culture about things rabbits like to eat or whatever, and it's actually pretty harmful. You don't know any of that, so you've got a leg up on a lot of people I know. All you do is keep 'em fed, clean, and?"
John gathers his own bunny up a little closer. The little ball of fluff makes a tiny, happy chittering noise and twitches its nose.
"Give 'em a lot of playtime 'n affection." he finishes with a laugh. "I can show you what to do, no problem. "And you don't have to say yes right away, just...maybe when you're out here, you help me with the hutches for a while and run around to check on the ones I'm letting stay free range when the fencing is up on the new plot. You get the hang of it, you feel comfortable...you find a furball curling up on you once in a while or getting pissy when you fail to say hi? Maybe you name 'em and adopt then."

"Yeah," he says, "maybe, lemme think about it? And I'll help with them either way, course."
But he's still oddly reluctant to put down the one he's holding. It feels ... not comfortable, but some sort of way he doesn't want to stop feeling, to have something small and vulnerable trusting him to hold it.

John has experienced this already--the baby bunny growl and the thumping, and so he can't help the fact that a quiet laugh bursts out of him.
"Uh--that's rabbit for 'pissy.'" John explains when the chuckles die down. "Ten minute break, so you can get to petting. Lest its fuzzy fury be unleashed."
The bunny in question doesn't growl again--but there is another impatient little foot thump.
Pets. Now, please.
no subject
He's already petting it again, and shifts briefly to scritching the spot between its ears with one finger.

"Least the little marshmallow works cheap." John laughs, shaking his head as he looks down at his own bunny. Said fluffy creature is also softly chittering, still snuggled in and seemingly drowsy.
"Lower maintenance 'n chickens--they need constant worship." John jokes.
BUK BUK BUK!
John calls out over his shoulder at the distant cluck of the aforementioned high maintenance chicken who is being chased by Sam about three yards away.
"Yeah, you're worth it, Co, but you're still demanding as hell!"
...buk.
