				It really is. &lt;3 And ooh yes, that sounds precious. So they end up piecing them together and figuring out clues, perhaps finding little hidden gems in the process. I think the return of the letters would be a precious scene, for sure, after a slew of them. <br><br>Perhaps they met at some gardening event, or both reaching for the same thing on a shelf at the general store?

				Hi players! I see plotting and character connections already and I am so happy! &lt;3<br><br>I must ask a favor while I await my next days off from work.&nbsp; ;D<br><br>Please think a bit about the<em> residence </em>your character resides in! I would love to see a description of that home. I might suggest not going too "big" as you might find opportunities to improve your residences later! Post those descriptions here in this OOC for me to read! (No rush!)<br><br>(Perhaps this request is due to a lovely set of threads that has materialized in the OOC's first post, mwahahaha!)

Totes fine if you rather head in another direction. ^^<br><br><em>Alexis | Adventurer | SilverPaw | Lived in SD whole life</em><br>Alexis and Fred could be fast friends, especially if monsters are in the mines. :P They could be drinking buddies too. [/i]<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Yes, ofc they can be friends! And I hope there are monsters, cause and adventurer's gotta have something to do around somewhere. So, yeah, I'm sure there'd be occassions where they come across each other during work, or maybe sometimes even when they go to the mines together. I figure that despite her (developing) combat profeciences, they'd still both often end up at the doctor's, whether at the same time or not. So, visits to each other there, or commiseration on how something went wrong...Absolutely, drinking buddies too, hehe!<br><br>Which leads me too...<br><br><strong>Angelica:</strong> Since she's been in Stardew since ten, that'd be practically since Lexie was born. Her families likely know each other, so despite the age difference, I figure she and Lexie could have had opportunities to bond even before Angelica became the doctor. Maybe Lexie, though younger, tried getting Angelica out more, or brought her small things she'd found on (childhood) "adventures" (pretty rocks, shells, sand in a bottle, flowers...) to her home whenever she visited. Maybe she'd have asked her for tutoring here and there.<br><br>Now for the others, cause I do like the idea of brainstorm connections.<br><br><strong>Dáire:</strong> MC is imo fascinated by magic, so she'd have happily welcomed YC when they arrived - but she definitely would have tried asking where they're from or where they've been, since she likes finding out about other places. I think our characters could have developed a working relationship, too - whenever she found something weird or interesting during the course of her work, she'd just bring it over to them. And if they're inclined to giving away things for free, she'd make sure that whatever she brought them would be taken as a gift, too.<br><br><strong>Renisha:</strong> Always enthusiastic about newcomers, Lexie would have liked hearing about whatever Renisha was willing to share about her life previously. Other than that, they don't have all that many interests in common - <em>however,</em> Alexis may have consulted her for tips on being self-employed. Alexis is probably contracted and hired by the guild, but a lot of her work is also likely comission...so handling her finances is def. still her weak point. Though she doesn't consider herself interested in romance, she does like events in general.<br><br><strong>Valteri:</strong> Would have tried welcoming him when he came to Stardew, might have been overly curious about where he's come from etc. Other than that, drinking buddies, fellow dog owners? Don't really have anything else atm, so if you've any ideas, do say.<br><br><strong>Leonardo:</strong> Oh, would have definitely wanted to tag along with YC while he was still in Stardew. In her view, his life is the dream - having gone from Stardew, to the wider world where he's seen and experienced all kinds of things, then eventually returned home. She'd have been super happy to see him back, and catch up. Always up to hear a story, whether real or imagined! Possibly some conflict re him now wanting a calmer life, whereas she still has this itch and drive for more, and for new, and for thrills and so on.<br><br>Only did those posted in the character thread so far, will get to others later! But if any who's posted OOC has ideas of their own, feel free to reach out ofc.<br><br>To the GM: Will try to do the residence description over the weekend.

				<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/allxlcj.jpg)</div>The small little two-bedroom house Annabelle, or Annie, is renting is located on the western end of Mernie's ranch.&nbsp; A bit of a fixer-upper, its yellow wood paneling needs a new coat of paint and as does the white trim. Thankfully, the roof is in good condition and the chimney has been cleaned out of bird's nests and other debris.&nbsp; She keeps the grass trimmed short and a combination of rain and the creek, which runs along the front of the house, helps to keep everything green.&nbsp; The wooden swing needs a bit of sanding and fixing, but its sturdy enough for two grown adults. Even if it creaks and jerks in an odd fashion.&nbsp; A walkout wooden porch runs the length of the home, and lays behind the white railing, and is probably in need of some weather protecting and sanding itself.<br><br>The front door opens into a sitting room.&nbsp; The two dutch style windows provide plenty of natural light.&nbsp; Like the porch, wooden floors are found inside as well.&nbsp; These are in somewhat better condition; though, after a closer inspection, a floorboard or two seems to be loose.&nbsp; The cherry wooden floor is broken up by throw rugs.&nbsp; A large cream colored rug with black geometrical designs covers most of the floor in the sitting room.&nbsp; An sofa large enough to sit three is stationed closer toward the wall, and an old fashioned wooden rocking chair sits in the corner.&nbsp; A thirty inch flat screen television is hung on the wall between two generic looking prints of Stardew valley.&nbsp; Only a western looking long thin rug separates the sitting room from the small kitchenette. An old gas stove is sandwiched between a white refrigerator and a late model dishwasher.&nbsp; Above the stove is a microwave, and under the microwave upon the stove top sit a large skillet and a beige teapot.&nbsp; Glass front cabinets border the microwave.&nbsp; In the far corner of the room is a tall circular table, which looks big enough to sit three, with only two bar stools seated around it.<br><br>A hallway leads from the sitting room, and leads to the two bedrooms and one bathroom.&nbsp; The first door on the left is the full bath.&nbsp; Everything expected to be here can be found here; a medicine cabinet mirror, sink, toilet, shelves above the toilet and a cabinet above the shelves that stores spare towels.&nbsp; The only truly remarkable feature is the old claw-foot tub which has both a spigot and shower head which will pour into it.&nbsp; A floral patterned shower curtain helps keep the water in the tub and off the linoleum floors.<br><br>The only door on the right opens to the "master bedroom".&nbsp; Annie's room is decorated light pastel blues and might remind one of Stardew Valley's open sky.&nbsp; A single skylight, and the most enchanting feature to the whole room, sits directly above the large queen sized bed.&nbsp; A green colored comforter covers the bed with just a few throw pillows, a body pillow, and the pillows for her head.&nbsp; To the right of the bed is a nightstand with an alarm clock and desk lamp stationed upon it.&nbsp; A large dresser sits to the left.&nbsp; Across from the bed is a full length mirror and next to that is a desk.&nbsp; Stationed in the corner is a small walk-in closet.&nbsp; Two ceiling fans border the skylight.&nbsp; Two windows look out to the east, in an identical style to those in the sitting room, give the bedroom plenty of light during the day - and make it nearly impossible for her to sleep much past sunrise.<br><br>The second door on the left is a smaller "guest room" which is currently empty except for the brown shag carpet.&nbsp; The light switch currently does not seem to turn on the room's light.&nbsp; Thankfully there's a dutch window to help light the room during the day.

Two stories with various spacious rooms. A cozy porch lines the house which looks upon the farm. Various crops of wheat, corn, and other vegetables cover the land. A small section is left for the barn with a few chickens and two cows for gathering milk and eggs. Then there’s Dusty, the brown horse that Leo’s parents took care of, which is now in Leo’s care.<br>

Surrounded by bright beautiful flowers with two large apple trees bringing some much needed shade and a warmth that radiated from within that welcomed anyone who glanced at it. Nowadays, the house has dulled slightly. The flowers still grow but in uneven patches and there are areas where nothing grows at all. A reminder that certain flowers are fickle and like particular soil and don’t bloom over winter. While the flowers have faded in their numbers, the apple trees still produce plenty for pies and sweet cider and that warmth from within remains. However, now it is normally accompanied by whatever meal Brianna has decided to cook up. There is also room for a wandering soul especially if they are in desperate need of a meal!<br><br>The small home has two bedrooms, one Master and one that still holds the bunkbeds that Brianna and her brother used to share. The living room is open with the kitchen and a small rickety table sits infront of the window, holding the best view in the house. The kitchen is full to the brim, every inch is covered in decorative plates, crocheted squares and spices.

An old gas stove is sandwiched between a white refrigerator and a late model dishwasher.&nbsp; Above the stove is a microwave, and under the microwave upon the stove top sit a large skillet and a beige teapot.&nbsp; Glass front cabinets border the microwave.&nbsp; In the far corner of the room is a tall circular table, which looks big enough to sit three, with only two bar stools seated around it.<br><br>A hallway leads from the sitting room, and leads to the two bedrooms and one bathroom.&nbsp; The first door on the left is the full bath.&nbsp; Everything expected to be here can be found here; a medicine cabinet mirror, sink, toilet, shelves above the toilet and a cabinet above the shelves that stores spare towels.&nbsp; The only truly remarkable feature is the old claw-foot tub which has both a spigot and shower head which will pour into it.&nbsp; A floral patterned shower curtain helps keep the water in the tub and off the linoleum floors.<br><br>The only door on the right opens to the "master bedroom".&nbsp; Annie's room is decorated light pastel blues and might remind one of Stardew Valley's open sky.&nbsp; A single skylight, and the most enchanting feature to the whole room, sits directly above the large queen sized bed.&nbsp; A green colored comforter covers the bed with just a few throw pillows, a body pillow, and the pillows for her head.&nbsp; To the right of the bed is a nightstand with an alarm clock and desk lamp stationed upon it.&nbsp; A large dresser sits to the left.&nbsp; Across from the bed is a full length mirror and next to that is a desk.&nbsp; Stationed in the corner is a small walk-in closet.&nbsp; Two ceiling fans border the skylight.&nbsp; Two windows look out to the east, in an identical style to those in the sitting room, give the bedroom plenty of light during the day - and make it nearly impossible for her to sleep much past sunrise.<br><br>The second door on the left is a smaller "guest room" which is currently empty except for the brown shag carpet.&nbsp; The light switch currently does not seem to turn on the room's light.&nbsp; Thankfully there's a dutch window to help light the room during the day.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>This is a soothing description to read and I love all the extra details; I love Annie's house. &lt;3<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=349382.msg16423235#msg16423235">Quote from: TheFluffyOne on 10-03-2023, 19:41:51</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div align="center">(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/d2/c3/7f/d2c37fe8cbf1f9ccf44049085226487b--cottage-garden-cottage-art.jpg)<br>In its heyday, the farm at Petal Farm was one to behold. Surrounded by bright beautiful flowers with two large apple trees bringing some much needed shade and a warmth that radiated from within that welcomed anyone who glanced at it. Nowadays, the house has dulled slightly. The flowers still grow but in uneven patches and there are areas where nothing grows at all. A reminder that certain flowers are fickle and like particular soil and don’t bloom over winter. While the flowers have faded in their numbers, the apple trees still produce plenty for pies and sweet cider and that warmth from within remains. However, now it is normally accompanied by whatever meal Brianna has decided to cook up. There is also room for a wandering soul especially if they are in desperate need of a meal!<br><br>The small home has two bedrooms, one Master and one that still holds the bunkbeds that Brianna and her brother used to share. The living room is open with the kitchen and a small rickety table sits infront of the window, holding the best view in the house. The kitchen is full to the brim, every inch is covered in decorative plates, crocheted squares and spices. Brianna splits her time between the kitchen and the large worn couch that sits before the small fireplace.</div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>So many flowers; it's perfect!!

If I missed you, PM me!<br>- My levels of joy! Good vibes from this group. :)<br><br>We're very close to game start! Thank you all so much for the patience and I have been loving seeing how you are all already plotting and making connections &lt;3<br><br>I do return to work and my longer management shifts Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, so my next day off on Tuesday is looking to be the game's formal "IC Posting Begins" date!

				Hello, I hope this works! I have Alexis' current residence, and also her former one - the house where her family lives and where she occassionaly visits.<br><br><strong>Rented adventurer’s flat.</strong><br><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/bLbKDx1.jpg)</div>As a registered adventurer, Alexis managed to wheedle the Guild into letting her rent a small room. She generally pays it off with her work for the Adventurer’s guild.<br><br>Her room is small and cozy, comfortable enough for a single person. She’s a study desk set next to two windows looking out into the valley. She often leaves her window open, enjoying the fresh air. <br><br>Even though she hasn’t lived here long yet, she’s accumulated all sorts of knick-knacks already. There are posters on the walls, some of her favourite books, journals, albums, and magazines on her desk and shelves, a frame holding her (deceased) grandfather’s photo on her night desk, a cute frog plushie on her bed, and various other items scattered here and there. She even has four pots with greenery inside; a hanging small-leaved golden pothos, a green princess philodendron on a white chest of drawers, a snake plant on the stairs leading to her bed, and a philodendron xanadu on her desk.<br><br>Her flat is also fairly cluttered and untidy; Alexis may leave a piece of clothing lying around, an unwashed cup or two on her desk, her bed undone and so on. Even though she tries cleaning every weekend (…or every other one), she definitely has the bad habit of not doing small daily cleaning tasks. She also still has some boxed things stashed under the raised wooden deck bearing her bed.<br><br>She has a teeny-tiny bathroom, only a shower, toiler, sink, and small drawer crammed within. She definitely misses being able to take a good nice, long bath – but that’s why she goes to the spa now, when she can. She has a place to store her armour, weapons, and other adventuring gear right by the exit of her room.<br><br><br><strong>Childhood home.</strong><br><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/nB6nfUs.png)</div>A distinctively shaped, multiple storied Tudor-style house. It’s built on Willow Lane, right by the center of the town. The general store and clinic are within walking distance, which makes it a prime location. There is a forest nearby, one where Alexis loved running around in during her childhood. It’s also right by the river, and if she didn’t feel like going to the beach, she took a dip right there. There’s a small playground to the back of their house. There are a few apple trees growing on their property, too.<br><br>The house’s first floor exposes neat stone work, while the upper levels are covered in white plaster. It’s heavily accented by dark wood half-timbering. It has beautiful blue shingles, and some roof decorations. Some years ago, there was a ramp installed by the back entrance, so the first floor is now accessible via wheelchair. It is a neat town home, its surroundings and indoors both well-taken care of. This is where Alexis grew up alongside Kyle, taken care of by her parents and grandparents. Her family still lives here, though her grandfather has died several years ago. It’s a charming home, and she has fond memories of it. <br><br>Despite some existing tensions between Alexis and her parents, she still visits occasionally. Though, she does prefer to meet up just with Kyle. Her mother is aggressively over-worried over her chosen life-style. Her father doesn’t like that her daughter is putting herself in danger either, and though he does it rarely, his quiet insistence that maybe she should return home is just as off putting. Her grandmother…well, she is somewhere between fond, resigned, and melancholic, remarking how much she takes after her grandfather. Her brother Kyle is the only one who doesn’t put any sort of pressure on her, and they sometimes commiserate on how they’re both different from what their parents expected from each of them.

The white paint on the outside is chipping and needs a fresh coat. A cozy porch lines the house, with a few chairs for sitting and just enjoying the view with a nice beer or iced tea. Out back is a tire swing and a small pond, with a firepit surrounded by brick, with a grate on top for cooking.</div></td></tr><tr><td><div align="center"><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>The house is two stories, with three bedrooms on the upper floor. The place is in good shape but could use some sprucing up, and some of the floorings need fixing. A lot of it is kept how his parents left it, even the same dishes and some of the same furniture. Paintings and photos are untouched, something that Leo needs to change, but it holds a bit of nostalgia for him. With a fireplace and a big kitchen, it has all the amenities one might need to live out their days.</div></td><td><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/Kr6yLQW.png)</div></td></tr><tr><td><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/muFJuxD.png)</div></td><td><div align="center"><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Leo painted and spruced up the master bedroom, mainly to make this place feel more like his own, not his parents. The bed holds two because Leo used his parent's old bedframe. The room is lined with various photos from the farm and from his adventures. On a shelf in the room are the journals of his various adventures, which he hopes to one day turn into a book.</div></td></tr><tr><td><div align="center"><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Various crops of wheat, corn, and other vegetables cover the acres outside. A small section is left for the small barn with a few chickens and two cows for gathering milk and eggs. Then there’s Dusty, the brown horse that Leo’s parents took care of, who is now in Leo’s care.</div></td><td><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/2H6MwSR.png)</div></td></tr></tbody></table>

				Hey guys! I have found out that I am going to have to do commuting/transfer hours at my job starting next week for an indeterminate amount of time (a neighboring store in my district is needing to borrow me while their boss is gone). While this isn't something that affects my solo stuff or stuff I am a player in, this game has far more moving parts since there's a lot of players (way more than I thought I would get actually!) and I'm a solo GM for it. I've found I'm already a little behind even before the game start, too, and I don't want to be the sort of GM that constantly keeps people waiting. With the new work schedule, I worry I'd just be doing delay after delay on this, and I think you guys deserve a GM who is going to be able to have the time to go all-in. <br><br>I think I will need to table this group for now until such a time as I know my work hours are going to stabilize out over a longer term. <br><br>You all made truly lovely things and I'm sad I can't GM this right now, but I'd rather give you guys a proper apology instead of ghost out, y'know?
