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mentions & possible remembered depictions of torture, death, PTSD, flashbacks, police brutality, incarceration, & outdated offensive language--will add more if they come up.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

He can say that now! He's out of the Army!
Happily, he tags along after John toward the rabbit hutch. "Which one're you thinking about keeping? Boy or girl?"

"They're five weeks old, I haven't even sexed them yet. How--never mind." John laughs, shaking his head. "In the name, right?"
When Radar comes up alongside him, John slings a friendly arm around his shoulders just long enough to squeeze in a quick side hug before he starts walking towards the hutch again.
"C'mon, you can tell me which is which. Here, this way..."
When they reach the hutch, John opens it up and reaches in to pull out a tiny bunny, who eagerly allows themselves to be gathered to John's chest in a spot it clearly finds familiar and welcome.
"This one's the one I'm thinking of keeping--darker one might be adopted out to a friend of mine." he explains, then brightens.
"There's three altogether, the clutch I rescued...third one's yours if you want it? There in the corner, behind that sheet of bark. Little booger's a chewer, had to give 'em something to keep them busy."

They reach the rabbit hutch; when John pulls out the little one, Radar can't stifle a soft exclamation. "Oh, look at her! Hi there, li'l girl. Aren't you sweet! You're real brand new, huh?" Unable to resist, he reaches to stroke the baby rabbit's ears, giving her a little scritch on the back. She's so soft. He loves that about rabbits: every time you hold one, it's like touching the coziest, most comfortable clothes you ever wore.
But then John mentions the third rabbit. Instantly distracted, he peers into the hutch and gasps when he catches sight of the aforementioned little booger, an even tinier fawn-colored boy. "I didn't even hear you back there!" he says. "Hi, fella. You've gotta be the quietest chewer in the world, aren't you?"
(To be fair, Radar's attention was split by the other adorable rabbits nearby.)
He looks up at John, entranced. "I can really keep him if I wanna?"

He laughs, reaching in to give the rabbit the gentlest possible scritch atop his head.
