Mostly Beans

The Gentle One · Gelm

The Gentle One is a Gelm the size of a barn, slumping in the noon heat of the Farming World with his own bounty notice sealed in his lit second stomach, and Kellen must haul that soft giant by freight cart, before a bounty crew's lander reaches the one bare row.

On the boardA soft-voiced giant who has never hurt anyone and may be the most dangerous of the ninety-nine. Mostly wants to be left alone with his beans.

WhereThe Farming World (street name: the Bean Counter), The Oon. A quiet planet of beans.

How it feelsWind in tall crops.

House ruleWhoever sets a pole owns the vine on it until harvest, and nobody ever owns the ground.

Abigail's notebookThe Farming World. Very green.

Tuesday. The Farming World.

Beans!!

A whole world of them. Rows going off in every direction till the land stops, and the wind going through it, and the air smells like the inside of a good pot. I'm not going to be normal about this, and I've asked if we can stay.

WANTED: THE GENTLE ONECrime: the thing nobody will tell us. Bounty: 900,000 credits. Known to: grow beans. Do not: stand between him and the beans.

The people

Gelm

Soft, round, and warm to the touch. They taste what they touch and store food in a second stomach.

Kind, nosy, and dangerous in the kitchen.

ALSO ON THE BOARD: The Time-Share Baron (46), The Emperor of Snacks (68), The Mayor of the Garbage Moon (88)
