If you hadn’t noticed yet, our little farming community is experiencing one of its worst droughts ever. The rainy season was unusually short this year, and our crops are dead or dying from lack of water. To put it bluntly, our community is on the verge of withering away with our crops.

Background
To the casual observer, Jo is an average person, without any memorable features.[1] However, claiming that he is average would be doing him a disservice. As the leader of Modoc, Jo handles all the duties of a mayor, sheriff, trader, and justice of the peace. He is very concerned about the survival of his little community and is willing to go to extreme lengths to ensure its survival, including self-mutilation.
