1. Hell yeah, I just did my thread tracker so I have these at hand. He'd definitely talk about:
the saloon used to have a mechanical bull and it absolutely kicked his ass (he met many of his friends when they either showed him up or scraped him off the floor)
they were all forced to attend a shitty party out in the desert (nothing to eat or drink except hallucinatory cactus juice) (he'd avoid the fact that Dax had a bad reaction to cactus juice and, while trying to heal her from that, he maybe killed her)
there was a similarly compulsory shitty pool party where the pool was empty of water but full of confetti (John got thrown in Pool Jail for breaking some of the arbitrary rools)
people sometimes get buried alive after a visit to the tentacle pit (John got one of his friends out but it rattled them both)
last cycle, all the taps started flowing with blood instead of water, so he learned to draw water from that blood (this made him very useful but kinda freaked everyone out)
he really sucked at getting a sword, it took him 5 failures before a success: 1. the torture tentacles came out of the ground to get him again, 2. the grove pelted him with rocks, 3. the grove tangled him with vines, 4. the grove just started screaming, 5. the grove became covered in eyes and started crying tears of blood. Then he got the coolest, gothest sword you've ever seen. (He would dodge the question of why the fuck he kept trying.)
2. John would helpfully inform him that the tentacle pit can snatch people anywhere at any time, and he can't feel its presence right now, so they might as well fuck around.
