[OPEN] welcome to farmville
WHO: Anyone in Solvunn!
WHAT: Mingle Meet & Greet for new and old Solvunn Summoned!
WHEN: Early through mid-February
WHERE: Primary Settlement: The Drunken Lamb and Gardsbruk Farm
[ ooc; This is an open log so feel free to jump in and make your own top-levels! You do not need to have CR with Himeka to stop by the farm, but you are free handwave her as a word of mouth to get your character there or to the tavern if needed. She will easily talk to anyone. ]
i. The Drunken Lamb
If walls could talk, these certainly would. The Drunken Lamb, an old staple in the Primary Settlement is where many go to relax and chat after a long day's work. In these colder and darker times of the year, the tavern herself gets more and more packed with those looking for a little respite from the new chill in the air. A cup of locally brewed ale and good conversation are a great way to pass the evening and some nights get livelier with heated arguments over local produce and game, and friendly contests over mead and cards. A few nights a week there may also be a musical performance by a bad or just an impromptu sing-along when someone gets the urge. Luckily if you're drunk enough knowing the words may not be necessary.
Everyone is welcome at The Drunken Lamb, and that includes the Summoned!
The atmosphere inside the tavern is warm, stone walls lit by torches and candles. Everyone is welcomed by the local tavern owner standing behind the counter. You're free to grab a drink or order dinner right away should you like, but if you want to meet up right away, you get a nod towards the back of the tavern to the tables by the stairs where your fellow Summoned wait.
Oh, and there is an old ewe who hangs out by the front door, either outside or inside depending on the weather. Her name is Myrtle and if she spits on you it's considered good luck.
ii. Gardsbruk Farm
[ ooc; Pretend the mountains are much further away in these reference images, lol ]
On the roads between the Primary and Secondary Settlements sits Gardsbruk Farm. A once thriving homestead servicing the community and housing several generations of the Gardsbruk family has fallen into disarray in the past decade, a shell of its former glory. Left to the care of Maeve and Declan Gardsbruk, the twins had somewhat hesitantly allowed the help of local summoned in their efforts to restore the farm. Himeka Sui, Kay Faraday, and until recently Estinien Wyrmblood and Relena Peacecraft had called the farm a second home. With new trust in the Summoned, the Gardsbruks finally begin to reach out and ask for help of the larger community.
Muddy pastures start to look green once again, but the cooler months are a time to prepare for the oncoming spring. A few crops may be planted for family use, but the main stock of this farm is sheep.
And there are sheep! You may be greeted by up to two dozen sheep when you enter the grounds, though not all of the livestock may welcome your presence. Hopefully that doesn't put you off because there are a few ewes to be milked. They will not be sheared again until the springtime is in full swing, but for those that are interested there may be an opportunity to make sheep cheese. If you do well, you may take home a sample as well!
It isn't just all fighty ewes and cheese, though. It seems that a few of the ewes are due to give birth! If you're not squeamish, you may help deliver lambs into this world. The miracle of life may not be pretty, but you will earn a cup of hot cider for your efforts.

no subject
though it sounds like a tale of grand adventures, spun by the ink of fate, princesses and darkness and a sword sentient enough to save the hero.
the fate of their worlds is really a hard one to tell, being 'stuck' here.]
Then that much should be enough. [she rises from where she sat, patting at her knees and the back of her skirt.] Having someone from your own world is a familiarity that beats how unknown this world is. And you both have friends, too. We should look out for each other.
no subject
And she's right about sticking together, too. Link appreciates the reminder, having been on his own for so long. Here, on this strange world, though? All of the Summoned share the same circumstances, and many of the very same worries.
There isn't any need to feel alone. ]
Of course.
[ He nods, emphatic. Even sweating in his smudged, dirty tunic while leaning over a vat of steaming milk, Link's eyes, when they meet hers, reflect the very image of the earnest knight. ]
The Princess would agree. [ It feels bold to say as much, but - Link is that sure of it. ] You can count on us.
