Probably stick to the caverns - he's unlikely to want to take risks at this point.

Antonio kept up to date on weather reports from Felicia Wheeler.
He did his level best to keep order in the caves and pass along any keeping warm tips from himself, Faith (Bernkastel/Nabiki), and others.
On the second day of the cave snow-in, he had a hard talk with Taichi and confiscated some of his meds with the intent to ration them.
Faith dropped the charity cattle bomb on him via email, but I'm not sure how good the internet is in a blizzard cave situation.

Plans next week: No clue. Stay alive, herd cows, and anonymously disseminate the proof of Erebus's theft when he's in a better position to do so and not covered in cow poop.

Anything to report from week 3/plans for week 4?

(Also if you could sum up your 'has anyone thought of what to do with the cave cows from here?' plurk here or at least link it that'd be SUPER HELPFUL. XD)

Anything to report from week 3/plans for week 4?

Melissa went out into the storm to try and find the cattle! (I'm assuming she was unsuccessful because lol no one wants that.) I think Garret's going to tell her about the Erebus stealing cows things so then her attention will be more centered on 'how do I arrest all of Erebus' but she still is of the opinion that the rustlers shouldn't have stolen ALL the cows.

Kenny intends to assist the outlaws in establishing their cave base of operations as a more permanent thing! He's excited to be able to help out with the cattle more- and he wants to be able to make the best of their heist.

Shit I didn't see this until just now.

Provided the storm lets up, River is going to be settling the cows a bit. The plan is now to have cave cows - that is, pen them up in caves, have people on duty to help them and kind of... sneak things into the supplies of the local towns.

No one's told him that the cows are supposed to be charity cows yet, though once they do he'll be sending teams off with the intended cows to the intended destinations.

After things are sorted he'll start heading towards civilization again. We'll... see how that goes, I don't know if that should be a last week thing. I don't want to rush a showdown in a return log, though.

Taichi's firmly ensconced in the outlaws, providing organization, impetus, and morale boosts. ~~Also suffering.~~

He has planted the idea for Kenny that there is a place for him taking care of the cattle and that his self-worth should not be determined by others' views of him.

The cow plans are as follows:
- shift the bulk of the herd to a series of caverns which can be turned into a barn and living quarters for the farmhands.
- cows will be rebranded for each town meant to receive charity cows
- These much smaller herds will be divvied up and driven to each town individually. (Including Ridge Rock.)
- The remainder will be kept in the caves with a rotating staff of outlaw herdsmen. Kenny is likely to be among/leading that team.
- One cow will be delivered to the Erebus dairy farm anonymously for the lols.
- In the future, bulls can be borrowed from the caves to cover heifers in the towns, calves may be exchanged, milk and cave-aged cheese bought or bartered for, etc. Supplies will be donated by all towns till the cavern herd is settled and self-sufficient. Caches will be established on the plains as exchange points. Efforts will be made to seed the plains in a widespread area all along the cliffs and towns to disguise the location of the caverns and provide feed for the herd.

Next week will be the aftermath of the blizzard, setting up the cavern hold, organizing the branding and smaller cattle drives... and likely going back to Ridge Rock to face the music.

The blizzard just made Cecil hate being on Mars even more, so he's just been enduring it by staying in the city for week 3. I'm kind of stuck on plans moving forward, especially since the plot role with a connection to him got dropped and he has no clue as to where the cattle thieves are, so there's not much he can do.

Anything to report from week 4/plans for week 5?

(Your showdown is coming in the last full mingle, in some form. Exactly what form is still taking shape, but don't worry, it won't be smushed into the Liminal return.)

Anything to report from week 4/plans for week 5?

River and Melissa are having a confrontation here - I'm not totally sure where it's going to end up. Need to check with Bookie.

(I'm fine if it ends in hostility, but I'd rather her not end up killing him there if only so non-plot characters get a chance to influence the ending!)

Antonio took his lead from Taichi and helped organize cow distribution to the charity towns.
He's running with Sara's idea of bringing copies of the cows' paperwork, not necessarily because he believes Erebus toes the line, but because that might convince the townies to help hide cows and outlaws.
He returned to Ridge Rock and is offering places for outlaws or persons of interest to hide.
He put a bandana on his face and tried to protect Ridge Rock citizens vigilante style.
He was stopped by Erebus goons who were in turn stopped by the Sheriff. Dunno what will come of that.

Plans: I have no plans because he could be in a jail cell or injured or totally fine for all I know.

Nabiki got word to the rustlers about the Sheriff going missing and the town being flooded with security, so they'll be prepared for resistance on the return.

Lots of organization happened in the outlaws, getting things set up for the future.

He's teaching teenagers to shoot weapons??

Next Week: The Homecoming.
He'll probably be heading home early, ahead of the cows. Plausible bovine deniability. He will be ready to help catch the security folk in a pincer movement if there looks to be trouble. I'm not planning on him getting shot, but might make the opportunity for Gail to have Riddick play meatshield.
He needs to decide what he's going to do after all of this, and at the moment he's leaning toward a job in town and a supply runner for the Hidden Cavern Ranch.

Much is unchanged on Kenny's end- now that the plan to keep the cows is a go, he's intending to stay in the caverns and help set up shop. He's thrilled to hear Taichi will be returning frequently to visit, and he hopes he can earn his keep in the community, and get some of the others to forgive him for his past mistake.

Gil helped spread the news about the stolen cows, and tried to minimise the damage from the Erebus copshop. Next week I guess he'll do more of that and hope he still gets to be mayor at the end.

So Melissa's in a super bad place rn, seeing as she's now confident that half the town has been lying to her for probably years, her little brother basically straight up told her he'll never be able to follow the law, and her older brother may have been in on this whole thing. Currently her plan is to arrest fucking everyone involved in all of this shit (on both sides, Erebus and the rustlers) and then to just say fuck it and wander off into the desert for some soul searching.

So that's fine.
