Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Roleplay

Wednesday Spring 3rd
Mineral Town

The smell of animals was overwhelming for most people in a barn. Many wouldn’t call the animals pretty or smart either. They are food, products, or simply part of the food chain which we resides on the top. Even if they breath, eat, sleep, and can do much more as to what it called life they are not put on the same tier of people. Natalie had an odd idea that it was the smells that made people believe this. If animals smell of perfume and shampoo perhaps people would like them more, or if they wore fashionable clothes with and had puppy dog eyes they wouldn’t simply be seen as a resource. However, even in this smell the barn had one extra member in it. In her night of unrest she found solitude in the smells, sounds, and company of her animals. Her pillow was a simple hay bail and her bed was the floor to the barn. No one would even compare it to a one star hotel, but for her it was as close to home as she could hope.

Her biological clock struck her alarm of morning after years of training it to. She shifted on her pillow before her head fell off it entirely .Falling to the ground which jolted her even more awake. Rubbing a possible bruise to be found later her eyes tried focusing after having been startled open. In front of her she saw her cow laying down yet awake. Belle’s, the cow, head turned in the direction of its waking owner and simply chews slowly on hay it had gotten from her troph. Natalie reached out and patted the nose of her cow before standing up. Stretching her entire back from a night of wretched support Natalie let out a massive yawn. Today was another day of spring work that came with the melting snow. And first was to milk the cows. One by one she brought the trademark silver bucket over. Having to relax each cow before milking them. After setting that milk away into bottle and storage to be sent to the market later she went outside the barn.

Natalie found her horses in the field thee way she had left them last night. Their heads nodded over in sleep was giving the rising sun an even greater tranquility. Deciding to leave them be Natalie turned her chicken coop. She had to move sleeping chickens and avoid rousing the ones who were known to be squawkers as she retrieved the harvest of eggs. After each egg was pulled she put that in the cooler that sat in her gaudy storage shed as well. Tomorrow she will use her small wagon to bring them to the market she decided before moving to water her small garden. That didn’t take long before she took an hour using a sickle to get fodder from her field and move it to her barn. Each blade of grass cut effortlessly by her sharpened blade and creating one of the many signature sounds of a ranch.

As that was finished she looked to the sky wand decided it was around 8am. Her morning work was done in the span of three hours, but she still had more things to do today. Quickly grabbing a bag of a few of her tools she walked to her porch and then also collected her saddle. It wasn’t a pretty saddle, much like everything else on the ranch, but it worked and that was all that mattered to Natalie for now. Moving of she put the saddle over Calico who had been woken up but her stroking of his nose and soft voice. “Ready to work?” she asked nicely before Calico gave a small snort. To everyone but her he was an intimidating monster, but she saw past his dark eyes and large build with ease.

Getting on him she directed him with reins towards the north. Trotting out of her ranch as the sun lit town that was coming before her eyes. Smiling to herself as she had always loved the view of her home in the morning Natalie thought back to simple random events in her life. The morning ride on Calico was one of the many things that always kept her happy as a rancher, even if she was alone in her life. Natalie passed by the blacksmith whom she waved to and he waved back before Saibara returned to his trademarked clang of hammer to metal in perfect tempo. Next she passed by the chicken farm she moved into to talk to Lillia. Knowing her illness Natalie made it one of her tasks to talk to her often, as being cooped up, no pun intended, on the same plot of land not seeing people could be ones worst nightmare. Natalie knew what it was like to have no one to talk to or share stories with, so it was something she cared for about deeply.

Finally Natalie arrived to Yodel Ranch where she saw Barley working with his animals. The old man was far slower than she was with work, so he was never finished with his daily chores even with the help of his granddaughter May. They had taken Natalie in when she first arrived for a job and she felt as if she owed them since. Barley always tried to get her to stop helping out, but she knew he was thankful and she wouldn’t let the man work himself to death just yet. Waving as she arrive she yelled out “Good Morning Barley!” And that was all that was needed before she hopped off her horse and began to do more work.

The Elder Scrolls: Souls of Many Shades

As the soldiers bolted down the streets to make their way towards their respective fights the girl in the blue dress simply watched. As Aria hugged Dianna she received a short pat on the back in response and a smile as Dianna's "Your Welcome." Wordlessly the girl listened to her boss before bringing her attention to Igfrid before mentioning it to Aria in-case she hadn't noticed. "Igfrid is with the guards unable to come to our side," she said calmly under the light of her staff as the wind sent ripples through her shining dress. Silently she set the potion away in a small bag she had carried with her over her shoulder. A bag that contained a few potions in case of injury of necessity. However, Dianna didn't quite feel as if they would need the potions. No, rather she believed the townsfolk would need the potions in the end. The members at odd jobs could easily be healing in battle with her own hands if disaster were to strike.

With the chaos around the Dianna seemed rather out of place while the others discussed strategy. Her own mind was set on protecting Aria and those around her, as she still owed Aria for a warm place to sleep. Even if she had never discussed why she was a traveling wizard before meeting the Jarl of Whiterun. With the daedra summoned Dianna got the idea to quickly run in the house and back out, a second staff on her back. Touching her necklace with one hand that held the Azura's Star she thought how a dragon's soul may be of great value. While the Daedra ran off Dianna then turned to Seranai and smiled lightly in approval. Every minute was valuable after all. In minutes a town can be reduced to rubble by fire and a dragon's breath is thought to be the hottest flame in some legends. Finally she looked to Aria's mention of profit and stated. "It could bring a better name and more business to Odd Jobs if we slay one as well."

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Roleplay

I actually like the marriage candidates designs better in this new one compared to A New Beginning, in A N Beginning I didn't get is because of the character designs. I never bought RF4 though due to the awful looks of the male player character.
