the FARMING LIFE meme

In need of a new start and a new life, you came to this place. It's a place rich in natural resources and natural beauty. The air smells cleaner. The water tastes better. All around you is majestic wilderness barely touched by civilization.

It's poor in pretty much every other respect. But that's okay! Because you've got a farm.

Why are you here?

I wanted to escape city life and my grandfather left me a farm, so I packed my things and...
I always lived here? These places usually have towns somewhere, you know.
Amnesiac: nowhere else to go.
I'm actually a badass secret agent/super spy/thief on the run/royal in the midst of a succession crisis/etc and this is just my cover for the next 4-6 months.
Some other reason.

What are you trying to do?

Farm. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Enjoying one of the many festivals this place has to offer, ranging from something like The Starry Night Festival to something more mundane like The Radish Festival.
Enjoying the natural, breathtaking, unspoiled beauty of the land around me.
Leave.
Something else.

[ the newcomer with her dumb old farm ~~and a dog named cú~~ ]

[...as they stared at the wreckage of the garden, and, more specifically, at the giant pine tree which had toppled and bisected the giant pumpkin like how Okita bisected their enemies before coughing up a lung, Astolfo laughed. His laugh wasn't a cheerful, happy one, no. He might be senseless, but even he understood how utterly fucked they were because this was the pumpkin. This was their giant pumpkin. It was the size of a small cow or...had been. It was the pumpkin that was sure to have won prizes. It was sure to have been chosen to be the centerpiee of The Great Holy Night Pumpkin Festival Week. They were kind of screwed.

And...and not just them! The children would be disappointed! The villagers in general! Heart levels were at stake!

Heart levels!

But he laughed a slightly desperate laugh, nevertheless. It was a filler noise as he thought of what to say, but thinking was never his forte.]

...hey, we could...tape it back together?

[No.] Or...no one will notice if we use glue, right?

No, I'm sure it would still look funny.

[ ... ]

And cheating is bad, I guess.

[ I GUESS. but no, okay, this is not... the worst thing ever. i mean, it kinda is, and it sure feels like it after all those dragging-her-sorry-ass-before-the-sun's-up mornings taking care of her stupidly big pumpkin. she definitely feels like SHE WANTS TO DIE?? but it could be worse.

it could totally be worse. ]

Haa...

[ kneeling in front of tHE CORPSE, the young farmer covers her face with her hands, thinking. there is a way to fix this. if she thinks really hard, then she's sure to find a solution. ]

It'll be okay. We'll fix this. Just give me a second, I can come up with something.

'kay.

[Don't let him down, boss! He believes! He! Believes!

In the meantime he's poking the pumpkin. The glorious, giant pumpkin. Well, once. The pumpkin so large it was nicknamed-]

Hey, did you know Marie started to call it Le Soleil™? [Yes, with the trademark symbol. No, don't ask how that's pronounced.] She said it was like a big bright sun everyone saw when they came to your farm.

[ so.

no pressure. ]

Is that so?

[ maybe returning to the city wouldn't be so bad. it's not like she need both lungs to survive, right? she'll sell the one lung, buy herself a rat hole and then spend the rest of her existence knowing she LET KIRAKIRA DOWN... ]

... Astolfo.

[ that sounds. ]

Farming together has been fun.

[ LIKE A VERY SOLID PLAN, RIGHT. ]

You've been a very big and cute help.

Really? [Really?]

That makes me really happy to hear! [GRIPS HANDS, SPARKLES. Metaphorically. Well, literal gripping of hands, metaphorical sparkl- just go with it! It's okay, it's okay. This is a very touching moment. In fact, there's a breeze that picks up so their hair can fluff dramatically in the wind a little.] I was worried, you know, especially after I lost Cu, and then I lost the cow, but, hahaha, I guess those turned out for the best and we found Cu and maybe one day we'll find the cow again. So it's okay. I did my best, and you did your best, and we'll continue doing our best! Farming with you is really fun!

Now we just need to figure out what to do about the pumpkin, but I know you can solve it! I'd help but you don't want to leave it up entirely to I, Astolfo, to decide! I'll probably just put it in the same place as wherever the cow is.

[ ...

well.

THERE GOES HER PLAN FOR ESCAPING.

why must he be this cute just how potent was roland's crazy HE'S NOT EVEN A MAIN GIRL AND THAT WAS HER VERY FIRST COW AND SHE MISSES HER???? THIS IS UNFAIR AND SHE WON'T STAND FOR IT NO MATTER HOW PINK OR FLUFFY OR ROSY-CHEEKED OR EVEN DASHING HE IS but like. maybe it wouldn't be so hard to pull something off. right?? ]

It's fine! It's fine, Astolfo!

[ true, cú has developed a weird fear of the church and now refuses to go near that side of town, but he can be as happy as ever staying on the farm, so it's not like any real harm was done. ]

Cows are wild animals, so I bet she's really happy out there!

[ they can fix this. they can totally fix this, right?? ]

For now, let's take what we can of the pumpkin to the kitchen. I have an idea I think so we shouldn't waster any more of our time here.

Right you are, boss! I'll get the...wheelbarrow?

[...or was that lost with the cow...it doesn't matter.]

If we don't have that anymore I'll just get buckets!

[And off Astolfo goes!]

[That isn't their wheelbarrow he's coming back with, is it.]

This is fine, right, boss?

[Likely a local rancher and/or a member of the Adventurer's Guild. Lets meet the new farmer! ~~must be two hearts to unlock goats~~]

[Ol' farmer Jones here.]

[Plot twist, he IS the farm. Duuuuuuunnnnnnn.]

((OOC: Likely the result of either "I need to get away from everything before I crack" ala the Tralla La stories in both Carl Barks's comics and the original Ducktales or amnesia. Most likely to be a miner or someone who takes care of animals since he is an actual Disney princess. Though if he has his memories, he's going to be awkward about being caught showing his softer side in regards to taking care of animals.))
