Hey, Buy Something!

I don't have time for window shoppers!

Shopping (Erik + Children / Danny)

[erik-licious]

After he felt as though he’d gone over the usual expectations for good behavior inside a store (don’t pull things off the shelves, don’t tear open any packages, and so on) a sufficient number of times, he ventured into Danny’s store with the stroller in front of him and the twins at his side.

He immediately gave his longtime friend a smile and a wave. “Hello there! Lovely day to cause a public disturbance in someone else’s place of business, don’t you think?” He laughed awkwardly. “But really, I do have business here…everyone else just decided they’d like to go as well!”

By then, Lucia had already made her way up to the counter, but due to her height, she couldn’t see over the top of it. In order to correct that issue, she started to repeatedly jump as high as she could in order to talk to Danny.

“Danny! Lookit!” she started off. “Baby Jo is here! She’s so cute! And I’m hopping up and down like frogs! Except Masey doesn’t like frogs! Have you seen a frog?!”

By then, Erik was already stifling laughter as he also approached the counter. He picked Lucia up and held her up so that she could actually see the person with whom she was having a one-sided conversation.

“Ahaha…frogs and such aside, I do need to buy some cooking oil. Somehow, I managed to run out completely without noticing!”

“Well, lovely day or not, you’re certainly making a racket anyways.” Danny’s expression and tone waved away any sort of notion that he was at all bothered by the parade that had marched into his store. Normally he was quick to chase away anyone who wasn’t interested in buying, but since it was Erik, he didn’t really care either way. A longstanding tradition of Erik barging in to pester Danny meant he was welcome any time.

“Oh yeah?” Danny leaned over the counter to look into the stroller. “Heya Jo. How’re you doing?” Danny smiled down at the baby. Even though she was just an infant, she looked a lot like Erik. Danny considered making a comment on that being unfortunate for her, but since there was a chance the kids would misunderstand it as anything but teasing Erik, he held it back for now.

Turning back to Lucia, he took a moment to figure out how to answer her question. “I’ve seen them, but I haven’t in a while. Let’s see, not this year yet... maybe last year? Or two? Haven’t really looked for them. You said Mason doesn’t like them, but I’m guessing you do, right?”

Getting back to Erik, Danny said, “Anyhow, cooking oil, right? Considering how much you cook, I’m surprised. Would have thought you’d notice when you used the last of it. Guess things have been busy for you, huh?”

Shopping (Erik + Children / Danny)

Upon looking in the pantry, Erik sighed as he voiced his thoughts. “Hm…out of cooking oil.”

He looked over at the counter, where his hand was steadily holding onto the base of his two-month-old daughter’s bouncy chair. She looked up at him, her usual pout very present and very reminiscent of the time before he’d ever seen a smile from Bianca. Oh, how the times had changed…

While still looking directly at him, Johanna blew a significant amount of spit bubbles, and he couldn’t help but laugh. In response, her wide, brown eyes narrowed, as if telling him that laughing at her was incredibly rude.

Huh. Running low on turnip seeds. 

Danny noticed as he finished stocking the shelf. Ah well, it was just about getting to be the end of turnip season anyways, so it didn’t really matter. He’d order a few more later. His current supply should be enough for Raguna growing anything in the dungeons, or if Kross wanted to come by for any last-minute seeds.

He stood in front of the shelf, hands on his hips, giving it one last check over. He’d been taking his time restocking for quite a while now- not because there was a lot to restock, but because there was nothing else to do. Even Eunice hadn’t come by today, so Danny had been alone most of the day so far. 

Time could move slowly in the shop in between customers. Some days it wasn’t all that bad. And it wasn’t like relaxing with nothing to do was such a terrible option... He’d often complain when a customer lingered around and wasted his time, anyways. Still, at the end of the day, it was probably when he had lots of customers that the day went faster and seemed more enjoyable. Sometimes he’d wonder why that was.

Danny returned to the front desk, pulling up a chair and sitting at the stool. On the far side of the counter was his daily letter from his family back home, which he’d already opened and read. With five younger siblings, there was always some sort of news to be had. Sometimes Danny found himself struggling to come up with things to say in return, living in a quiet place like Trampoli. 

He exhaled a sigh through his nose, resting his hand on his his chin and he slouched over the counter-top. Speaking of the quiet, some sort of ruckus outside seemed to be breaking it up. Lifting his head up slightly, Danny wondered what it could be, trying to listen in a little bit. The voices sounded familiar.

By the time the front door opened, he was already smiling.

Clutter [Open RP]

Ugh, why was it that whenever the weather was warmer, there was so much cleaning to be done? It wasn’t that Danny particularly hated cleaning. It was more that it was difficult to ever get started. He tried not to let things get too bad. Usually a couple of bottles lingering around his room was sign that it was time to pick up. But, there was always one time or two that it always got a bit worse than he wanted.

Seriously, he thought to himself as he dragged the trash outside. Cleaning the store was a chore enough. It was annoying to have to take care of that and his own room. Why couldn’t things just take care of themselves?

Oh well, at least it was a fairly nice day out. Not that something like that would matter much when he went back to running the store. Staying inside all day was fine when the weather was bad, but not when it got warm- and on hot days, he just wanted to go to the beach to cool off! 

“Whew...” Danny sighed. The garbage wasn’t that heavy, but he already felt tired. Sighing, he stretched a bit, looking around Trampoli’s public square.

April Showers [Open]

Of course it would rain on the way back. Danny had gone out of town to meet a vendor he hoped to do business with in the future. The sky had looked a little gloomy when he set out, but he was really hoping it wasn’t going to rain. He probably should have brought an umbrella, if he were being smart, but general preparedness was something he tended to use even less than an umbrella.

He considered just heading home anyways, but it wasn’t long until it was starting to turn into a downpour, forcing Danny to take cover. A dilapidated shack on a nearby road served him well. Once he was out of the rain and had shaken off some of the dampness, he turned around, leaning his back against the wall, watching rain steam down the overhang in small columns. 

“Tch... Great.” It didn’t look like the rain was going to let up any time soon, meaning he was stuck here, for the time being. As he gazed out across the bleak road, he heard footsteps of someone quickly approaching from his left.

A Mother’s Stories [Danny/Erik(’s Family)]

[erik-licious]

Although she was acting the part of the calm matriarch, Anneliese was nervous as she let her grandchildren lead her (or at least, she was letting them think they were leading her) around Trampoli. It was certainly a necessary measure, though, as Lucia’s insistence upon going to check on her mother and soon-to-be-born sister was less prevalent out on their little walk.

She was worried for Bianca, of course, as she knew of her daughter-in-law’s past health issues and that carrying Mason and Lucia had been especially taxing on her body. But she also knew how strong-willed Bianca was, and that Erik wouldn’t be leaving her side. She also knew that second babies often came quickly in many cases, including that of her own second child.

The smile returned to Danny’s face as Lucia ran over. How could he not smile, with someone being that enthusiastic just to run over and see him? Her excited expression made him regret not visiting more often. He knew visiting could cause a ruckus with the kids, or pull Erik and Bianca away from what they were doing, so he didn’t do it as often as he used to before Erik got married. Still, it probably wouldn’t hurt to stop by more often, especially with the weather being more agreeable.

As the woman introduced herself, a dim lightbulb turned on in the far back of Danny’s head. Ah, that was right... He could vaguely recall seeing her before, though he couldn’t quite place when. Anna- no, Anneliese... He’d have to try to remember that.

“Yeah, same here,” Danny said in response to her greeting. “So, it’s already that time, huh? Wow, when did that happen? Kinda scary how time flies like that.” It felt like Erik and Bianca had been expecting this forever. At the same time, it seemed like just yesterday Bianca had told Danny they were trying for kid number three. Man, he should probably get something for them if the baby was due for any time now. 

At any rate, it looked like Erik’s mom had been brought down to help distract the kids during the whole process. Probably a smart move. From her tone, it seemed like the last thing she wanted to do was remind the kids about anything and get them determined to head over to see mommy, otherwise Danny would have asked more questions. 

“Well, I’m sure these two have been giving you a workout,” he said. Lucia in particular was probably exhausting to look after during a time like this. "Need any help? I can take some time off.” The offer seemed a bit nicer  than Danny would usually give, but in reality, it was mostly that he was largely in favor of skipping work to spend some time with the twins. Not that he’d mind being inconvenienced for the sake of his best friend anyways, but he'd be sort of put out if Anneliese turned him down.

He squatted down to Lucia’s level, looking between her and her brother. “What do you two think? Want to hang out for a bit?” he asked.

((Let me know if you would want to roleplay! 

I’d prefer if you were in the hm/rf universe, but that’s about it for rules! I’ll do any style (script, paragraph, etc).

You can hit me up with an idea, just post a started and tag me, go to my askbox, anything.

Also, if you want to just talk or have any oneshot prompts, I’d be more than happy to do that too.))

A Mother’s Stories [Danny/Erik(’s Family)]

Winter was finally turning into spring. That sort of weather could be a sort of pick-me-up whenever Danny stepped outside, but inside the store, it really didn’t make much of a difference. When torn between working hard and general laziness, Danny tended to err on the side of lazy, and so for the last few weeks, he had taken to stepping outside when the weather was agreeable and no one was inside the store. It was something he should probably try to break before it became a habit, but still, a little fresh air never hurt anyone, and even if there were technically things to do inside, it wasn’t like he was ignoring customers this way.

Enjoying a moment of sunshine, Danny took a moment to take in the square. It was fairly bright out today- the kind of day where the runeys looked sort of silly glowing and floating around there in broad daylight. To his right, Danny could hear the faint voices of children approaching. Too young to be Marco or Candy, Danny identified them instantly, and turned to greet them, a welcoming smile springing to his face, replacing the neutral expression just moments before. Erik’s kids were always a welcome sight. To Danny’s surprise, it wasn’t Erik or Bianca who was accompanying them, but another, older woman.

The initial enthusiasm of the grin died down, but the warmth was still there. Danny gave a wave at the party approached. “Hey there,” he said. “Out for a walk?”

yesterday was the release date anniversary of Rune Factory: Frontier, which is probably my favorite farming (+dungeons) game! There’s not a lot of fanart for it, but I love it sooooo much ;c The later Rune Factory games improved some of the game mechanics, but none have quite the same charm for me. The house models?? are also so cute?? anyway here are some sketches of my faves, in celebration. boy do i wish you could’ve been gay in this game, i would date the heck out of the terrible store-owner.

Danny smiled just a little bit as he finished restocking the shelves for the next day. “Whew... done...” He said, looking over his work. For a moment, he said nothing. His faint smile slowly faded into a dispirited frown.

It was probably time to flip the sign, lock the door, and head upstairs.
