In terms of casual talk among strangers, advertisements, meeting new buds and an overall pleasant hangout, the Grounds has become the new Stone Bridge without a doubt. So in the spirit of the new update beginning to settle better with people, why not share some of our favorite new memories and conversations with friends and strangers since the new update aired? They don't necessarily have to have taken place in the Grounds, but I figure that most interactions certainly stem from the hub.
As for myself, I had a pleasant conversation in Seaside Grove with a strange whale. I was using one of my otter characters to explore when I was approached by a whale. We had a nice chat about the new maps and the kinds of new opportunities for more species to be used. My stories are generally pretty mundane so I won't go too in detail, but I may remember a better one soon.
