Is there any better feeling than tsumo after a kan, and the dora turns out to be the four tiles you just called? I think not.

It's so fun to make random OCs for an RP I will probably never run

Hello! I'm Yankee.
I'm usually down for pretty much anything: action, adventure, romance, horror, taboo, comedy, smut, gore, slice-of-life, etc.
I like cute, fun stories just as much as dark, gross, traumatic (for character) stories. I enjoy creating original characters for RP,
but I get as much enjoyment writing as canon characters in fandom-based games!
On that note I like comic books, cartoons, and videogames. I'm also very into cosplay and art!

I am a very slow writer, so my preferred posting pace is once per week or less. I usually post on weekends.
I like to have fun while writing, so I prefer relaxed partners who don't take things too seriously.
Remember: fiction =/= reality.

Feel free to PM me to chat!
However I do not check PMs immediately. Might take me a day or two... or ten to get back to you.

General question. Where's a good, reliable source for the images for the posts? I mostly search on deviantart.


Probably depends on what you're looking for. Artstation is nice for scenery and buildings especially, lot of concept art there.

I happened to have the art for one of my FCs on hand, but personally I'll probably swap to the tried and true "character name" header... lol.

Location: Starlight Mill Farm (Aaron) -> Town Streets (Erin)
Timeframe: Early Morning
Interaction(s): New girl @Cyrania


Many people in Starlight Cove tended to be early risers. Maybe it was the country living combined with the sense of responsibility the townsfolk felt, or maybe it was something else entirely, but either way mornings usually started with the sunrise. Of course the same was true for the occupants of Starlight Mill, a farmland not too far from the island's single village.

Every day on the farm was a little different from the last. That morning one of the two Miller siblings woke before even their rooster and, unable to fall back asleep, had slipped out of the house and out into the field. And with nothing else to do this early, he got a head start on work.

Wheat was hardy and voracious; it usually could out compete any weeds that tried growing, but there were always troublesome plants that managed to sprout even months after planting. Wild seeds spread by birds, Aaron figured. They had to go, pulled from the ground by their roots. The wheat would also sometimes choke out its fellow grain, and so the dying stalks would have to go too. He stuffed the plant matter into a sack he carried with him, occasionally popping his head up over the stalks and then bending down once more to keep working.

Bugs were a problem too, one that had only seemed to get worse over the years. Of course when the rest of the life on the island was struggling, the bugs were doing better than ever. Such was the way of things, the farmer guessed. Extermination and removal of any badly infected crop protected the rest of the wheat. These golden grains were the family's lifeline, and the proof that something could still grow here. They had to be looked after with the utmost care.

By the time he heard the screen door on the porch slam open, Aaron was already more than halfway through the fields. He didn't look up until he heard the sound of shuffling approaching him a little while later, finding his sister's face peering down at him. She blinked her big yellow eyes.

"You started on my half! How long have you been out here?"

Aaron stood up then, squinting into the sky to see where the sun had got to. "A while."

Erin didn't look impressed. "Well swap with me. Bess and the chickies are all set, even got eggs early today. By the way..."

She moved to kneel and take over tending the wheat while chatting, but her brother stopped her with a hand on her shoulder.

"It's fine, E. I can finish up. Shouldn't be too long before the harvest is ready, and one of us has to swing by Mr. Alderdice's and see if he'll still buy bulk when it is," Aaron offered. He glanced away from Erin, but the young woman could instantly read his intention.

"And that has to be me? You cheater," she hissed, though there was no real animosity in her voice. Aaron just shrugged. Well, if he didn't feel like making the walk into town that was fine - she didn't mind doing it. "We do have a phone you know, we could just call and... wait, you've been out here this whole time? You didn't bring the bread into town?"

Aaron opened his mouth only to close it again a moment after, unable to come up with an excuse. He'd honestly just forgotten, his head so in the cloud early that morning that he'd just went straight to the fields and hadn't thought about anything else. He gave Erin a sheepish look. "It slipped my mind."

His sister flicked the brim of his hat so that it tumbled off of his head.



If there was one boon to only being able to grow wheat at the moment, it was that there were plenty of things that could be made from it. Well, mostly flour, but other things too. Dried grains on their own could be thrown into granola and cereal, and beer could even be brewed from it. It also happened to make great food for livestock. It was thanks to the combination of uses that Starlight Mill managed to keep itself a float. Their cost of doing business was low, and they had a reliable buyer in town.

Hopefully it would stay that way for a while. Everyone seemed to feel that the town's days were numbered, and once the local market went so too would many other places. And people, as they'd be sure to leave for greener pastures. It was pure stubbornness that Erin and her brother chose to stay in their brown one. Still, as long as they could make ends meet until they ultimately got things back on track...

Erin sighed. She'd brushed the dust off of her clothes and tied her hair into pigtails before gathering a knapsack of baked bread that had been resting since late the night before. She was only going to be a little late, so hopefully she wouldn't get an earful from the market's proprietress. For what it was worth she'd taken along the fresh eggs too.

With spring budding there was going to be a lot of work for her and her brother once the winter wheat was ready, but she didn't mind. She was almost looking forward to it, really. Somehow this year felt like it was going to be a good one. She passed over the farm's property line and stepped onto the cobblestone street that would take her to Starlight Cove's main road. She'd lived her all her life - more than two decades now. The path was familiar, the sights were familiar, even the sounds and smells. It was comfortable.

As she strode into town proper, an unfamiliar person caught her eye. She was fairly sure that she knew everyone that lived here, at least in passing acquaintance. At one time Starlight Cove drew all kinds of tourists. They had an awesome aquarium, museum, and lighthouse after all. Even adventurers crossed the water to check the island out. Nowadays there were less and less people coming out to town, and this woman didn't look much like a tourist anyway... if she was some kind of "investor" Erin would have to chase her out! Of course the first step would be finding out what the deal was.

"Hey!" Erin called out to the blonde haired woman. She shifted the bundle in her hands so that it was more secure as she jogged to catch up tot he stranger. "Hey! Hello! Hope I didn't spook you, calling you out of the blue like that."

There was no doubt that Erin was a local, from the homely work clothes she wore to the faint smell of grass that clung to her. She gave the stranger a somewhat guarded smile.

"I just noticed you looked out of place... I mean lost! What are you looking for?"
