[open] a friend in need's a friend indeed
Who: Ned and OPEN
What: Random encounters & fallout from dream-walking tomfoolery
Where: House 20, the garden, anywhere around town
When: Day 89
It's been a long week. A long, mostly-sleepless, weird week during which Ned has seen far more of his friends' and neighbors' subconsciouses than he would have liked to. Plus, a creepy city made of crystals that everyone seems to have seen, but no one will claim as their own. Shady stuff. Today, he is determined to wear himself out. Perhaps if he's tired enough, whatever mojo the men behind the curtain have put on him won't be strong enough to stir him out of a deep and dreamless sleep.
It's probably a futile tactic, but he can't just do nothing.
So he is a bustle of activity - cleaning the house, walking around town, checking on the crops to see if they are holding up well (carefully, with an eye for any enterprising tigers roaming too close to the edge of the forest), keeping an eye out for new faces and an ear out for rumors of missing ones.

"You are a bit Conan the Barbarian," Ned agrees, with a little smile. He can say that, now that Wallie's mentioned it himself. "I was pretty terrified to talk to you at first, actually." Might not be the nicest thing to admit, but he knows he probably wasn't all that subtle about it. Besides, Wallie clearly knows that he looks intimidating.
Something else that he said catches Ned's attention, and he asks, "They have slaves, there?" That's... not good.
