Heeeeey, a post!

Not much going on...not much I could do with Charlotte either, since Star hasn't posted yet.

Eh, oh well.

"Well, I'd always be happy to help another farmer out. It'd be nice to have some competition around here." He cheerily replied with a laugh. "So don't worry, I'll help ya get going. It'll be tough work if you haven't done anything like it before, but its definitely rewarding. Nothing better than eating a freshly grown vegetable you grew yourself." Most of his crops though, were sold. He made enough to live off of himself, but made sure there was enough to make a profit on as well.

It was then the bar grew quiet, a cloaked figure making their presence known. Well, that was odd. What was even more odd, was when they threw off the cloak it revealed a girl who didn't look any older than twelve. Who then introduced herself as the Harvest Goddess. Well damn. That was definitely not what he was expected the Harvest Goddess to look like. If Grady had one word, he'd have described her as adorable.

As she spoke, he suddenly found a weight in his lap as the present she mentioned suddenly appeared. Eagerly, he opened it revealing the flute inside. Reading the note, a grin spread across his features.

"Well dang, this is awesome." he laughed, picking up the flute and studying it. It was definitely well-crafted. And it'd help with calming rowdy animals? This was the best gift he could have asked for at the moment, especially with him wanting to get into the livestock business. He should probably thank her, but by the time he looked back up, she was gone. That put a small damper on his spirits, but it didn't last long. He'd make sure to thank her next time he saw her.

"So what'd you get?" He asked Lawrence, obviously curious.

The night wore on fairly normally. Charlotte still wasn't entirely enthralled by the number of people and chatting. Arianna was pleasant enough company, but well - she was really wanting to get back to her own things by the time the Harvest Goddess made herself known. Honestly, Charlotte was a little skeptical at first. Aside from the fact the girl looked nor more than twelve, she had heard stories of the goddess before and that she was supposed to be some beautiful goddess or something. Not some bratty looking kid.

And then she received the cloak. Still skeptical that it was some sort of prank or something, she hesitantly took it out of the box, holding it out in front of her. It was nice enough to be sure, and soft. And warm. And...ah, what was she being skeptical for? She took off her old cloak, folding it neatly and placing it on the table and donning the new one. Well, she had to admit it was extremely comfortable.

And it'd protect her from things in the forest? What exactly did she need protecting from? Bears? Ravenous raccoon's? Or gods forbid that monstrosity known as a frog. Ugh, she really hoped she didn't run into any of those.

crap.

I am sorry, posting completely slipped my mind. I'll get to work on one now.

...or would.

Anyone seen Star lately? I would like to post for both Charlotte and Grady at once, but...
eh, I'll wait. If she doesn't post anything by tonight, I'll definitely get a post up for both of them.

I'm still here, obviously. Just waiting on people to post~

I'll see if I can get something up in a timely fashion.

A woodcutter? Gah! She was likely destroying the beautiful plants and things she used for her potions and stuff! That was her first thought, anyways. When Arianna started gushing about the various plants, trees, and other wildlife in the area it was clear at least she had as much love for the forest as she did. Maybe she wouldn't have to worry about her killing her precious little flowers then. That would be nice.

"Yeah, the forest is really nice." She replied, a small smile forming on her lips. "Much better than this noisy...whatever it is." She grumbled, showing her obvious dislike for this loud Inn and its atmosphere. At the mention of a shady character though, she raised her eyebrow, fixing Arianna with a semi-serious look, before frowning as she folded her arms against her chest.

"I can take care of myself." She harrumphed. "Just let 'em try anything with me, I'll make them regret it." She was referring to the various stuff she kept around her shop. The 'failures' or 'duds' as she called them. While not entirely useless, they were better suited for harmless pranks or messing with someone. Far from what she wanted to do - creating stuff that actually helped people in some way. She kept them around, just for giggles though.

~Grady Keefe~

"Yep, that's my name." Grady took Lawrences' hand, shaking it vigorously. He ran the other farm then? Well, he'd have to help him get the hang of things, then. He'd be a pretty bad farmer and friend if he didn't help Lawrence fix his farm up. Not to mention he'd hate seeing that piece of land just be neglected like that. "I'm a farmer myself, too." He continued. "Run a nice little crop farm not that far out of the town, but uh, I guess you already knew that. Anyways, nice to meet ya. So what are you plannin' on farming anyways?" He was curious as to what Lawrence was going to be raising on his farm - animals or crops. Not that he'd mind the competition, really but he hoped Lawrence didn't decide to raise crops. Of course, either way he planned on building a nice barn and getting himself some animals of his own...so he supposed he'd have competition eventually either way.

Yeeeah, cousins decided to stay another day here, so I got nothing done yesterday either. I'll work on one soon, promise.

whew, tired as heck, but I'll try to get a post up tomorrow morning sometime. No way am I getting to it tonight.

Hey Rune, does Charlotte ever go out hunting for ingredients for her potions? I thought of doing a small reference to that, saying that Arianna would have seen some creeper milling around the forest.

@StarInaBox

all the time. If she's not inside of her house/shop, she's usually found in the forest looking for stuff.

<Snipped quote by Rune_Alchemist>

I could have Lawrence talk to Grady, would you be fine with that?

@Simple Unicycle

Oops, sorry I missed this. Not exactly in the best of moods lately.

But yes, go ahead. I don't mind at all.

Speaking of things being done, I think my company is about as done as it's gonna get. Not sure what much else I can do with it, at the moment.

I'll get to work on their private security tomorrow, if I have the time. Gotta do some last minute Christmas stuff tonight and tomorrow. After that, I'll fill out the individual CS's for everyone that is important to begin with, and I'll make one for those who don't have as large of a roll if/when they become relevant.

Thankfully, she didn't have to wait long for her food. The juicy roast was probably more than she could eat by herself, if she had to be honest. Still, it looked delicious and she wasn't about to let it go to waste. Smelled delicious too, and the tea was the same. The lady - she supposed she was the Innkeeper. She hadn't met most of the people in town yet, only moving in recently. She should thank the lady for the food and the tea.

"Not exactly old enough to drink." She replied with a small sigh. Well, at least she didn't think she was anyways. She wasn't sure she could stand alcohol even if she was old enough though. She was enough of an airhead at times even without being drunk. Making that worse was probably not exactly a good idea. Although...maybe alcohol could be used for something in her studies? There was an idea for later, definitely. She should make a note in her little journal.

She went about opening the journal with one hand, and flipping the pages with a thumb, picking up a fork and getting a piece of the roast and stuffing it into her mouth, not really noting the taste at the moment. For now she was too busy focusing on reviewing her notes. If she had been paying attention, she would have immediately been able to tell that this was possibly one of the best damn things she had ever eaten. Unfortunately, she was too focused. At least, she was trying to focus when some loud-mouth idiot sat down across from her.

The young alchemist tried to ignore her at first, burying her nose closer to the journal. Ignore her, and she'd go away. Yep. They always went away if she ignored them. At least, that's what the other kids back home did. Unfortunately, she also got the feeling that this woman wasn't going to leave her alone. With a small sigh, she closed the book - stuffing it back into her cloak.

"Yeah, and if I am?" She replied to Arianna sharply, sounding a tad bit annoyed. She was just a little bit, but she really shouldn't have been. "Uh...Charlotte. My name, I mean." She continued, sounding a bit less annoyed. "My name's Charlotte. Moved into town recently, bought a house a bit close to the forest."

"Thanks, Willow! Looks delicious is ever." Grady said with a smile when Willow returned with his food. And it sure did indeed. Of course, he'd say everything Willow and her grandmother made was delicious - mostly because it was. He was an average cook at best, to be perfectly honest, but every now and then he'd whip something up himself with vegetables and fruits he grew himself. What better way to see how his crops were doing? "And thanks for the warning. Don't work too hard, now." As the Innkeep left, he dug into his food. And well, more importantly chug the alcohol that he had been given. Little known fact among the people here, was that he could rink a lot. He wasn't exactly a big dude to be sure, but that had never stopped him from drinking back in his delinquent days.

Hmm...maybe he should find someone to mingle with? Then again, the seat was really kind of comfortable. Getting up would be kind of a waste, really.

"Whew," He said to himself, setting the whiskey back down. "Perfect after a long day. Now all I could use is a nap." He leaned back in his chair, stretching and taking a look around the Inn. Hmm...there were a few people sitting by themselves, so maybe he could go say hi? Then again, it really was rather busy tonight because of the festivities. He wondered if Willow would want some help? He took another drink of the whiskey. Ahah, that stuff was really good after a day of work. Hmm...what to do?...
