Another Experiment

My governmental model seems to be underway, despite a few hiccups. The people even seem happy with it. I'm sure I will find out when I get shot, stabbed or otherwise mutilated that the people aren't happy.

My new experiment is with a diplomatic forum for the heads of state within Kindred Society. I don't care if they call themselves Imperitor, Prince, Citizen Prince, First Among Equals, President, etc.; it's all variations on a theme. Its up and active and I've had a few nibbles. Lets see where it goes.

Death of an ally

Things have gotten worse. It seems that Rose and her friends went back to Sacramento to confront its Prince, against better judgement. She is now in the hands of the Savage family. Rose walks into trouble and expects to be plucked out of it. She's a loudmouthed troublemaker. As a result of this fellow named DM is dead, along with several others. DM was a simple man who could be easily directed by those he trusted. DM stuck to me like glue whenever we were in the same place at the same time. I only wish he'd taken up my offer of a place to stay in Utah.

This is one of those situations that makes me wonder 'if.' Would this have happened if I had not left Modesto?
