Planets- If you could go anywhere, where would you go? Why?

Is it bad that I totally read this as “plants” at first?

“I dunno! I think I’d like to explore Razalune a lot more. Maybe even visit Adonea. That would be super cool! But at the end of the day, I love Forget-Me-Not Valley. It’s like home to me. If I had to pick a place to stay, it would be here.”

Star

Star- What song(s) do you feel describes you? How is that song/those songs significant to you?

“There’s this one song that I heard on the radio once… it’s called Last Hope? By Paramore. I’ve only heard it a few times but the lyrics kinda… speak for themselves.”

I don’t even know myself at allI thought I would be happy but nowThe more I try to push it I realize gonna let go of control

Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen,Gonna let it happen, just let it happen

It’s just a spark but it’s enough to keep me goingAnd when it’s dark out and no one’s around it keeps glowing

Cancer- How do you want to be remembered?

“I want to be remembered as… someone kind.” Jill mused. “Someone who tried hard and did their best, you know?” She shrugged. “I want to be remembered for someone who was the best person they could possibly be. Though I guess that sounds kinda cliche, when I say it out loud.”

Oh boy. Lukas didn’t think getting up would be so difficult, even with assistance. A small part of him regretted asking for help at all when the momentum of standing up inflicted a confusing sense of dizziness. Still, the girl was doing her best to help him, and the outright sense of trust and honesty that seemed to radiate off of her was comforting. He had a feeling that she would even help a murderer if he were on death’s door. Something told him that would get her in trouble one day… but he shouldn’t be diagnosing a stranger’s future based on the single interaction they were having.

“An angel indeed.” Lukas commented, although the gusto wasn’t quite all there, “I’ve never met a person who wouldn’t ask for anything in return. It’s impossible. If you’re trying to impress me, it’s working.”

He couldn’t help but laugh, and though it was weak, the laughter continued at her next statement. That was some way of requesting an introduction. He shifted his body slightly to make the walk more manageable and introduced himself, “I’m Lukas… and I sure hope the door has your name on it, or I might have to just as awkwardly ask for it.”

Farmers were all weirdos, weren’t they? Well, at least they were nice.

She had to stop herself from laughing. “Honestly, if it were me, I wouldn’t want to be worrying about how I was going to repay the person helping me, you know? It’s less about impressing and more just trying to be a good person.” The world could be bad enough already. There was no need to add on to it.

He seemed cheery enough though, circumstances be damned. Even after nearly passing out he managed to laugh at her little joke about the water. “Lukas then.” She mused as she nodded. “Well there’s a glass of water with your name on it, Lukas. Unfortunately for you, there isn’t a name on my door, it’s on my mailbox. Jill laughed. “But I’ll save you the awkwardness of asking. My name’s Jill.” 

Thankfully it didn’t take them very long to get to her farmhouse. With a twist of her wrist, the door opened and cool air kissed their faces. It was a soothing relief from the heat. 

“Watch your step.” She warned as she guided Lukas in.

“Excellent!” Skye was more than pleased to hear Jill grant him permission to accompany her, and he wasted no time going to her side to walk with her. For a bit, they enjoyed the cool night air and silence of the valley. When she spoke up, Skye chuckled and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. 

“I’ve been doing just fine, princess. I still haven’t found my missing ingredient, but I have a feeling I’m on the right track.” He’d tried several different ingredients in his attempt to make the perfect curry, but nothing brought him close to perfect. He’d been experimenting with using fruits, odd as it was, and so far it was proving to be rather interesting. 

“And you, my dear? How has Forget-Me-Not’s brightest gem been faring? None of these brutish men are giving you a hard time, are they?” To say the men of the valley were rough around the edges was such an understatement, in Skye’s opinion. They could all use for a bath and a haircut, really. The girls, on the other hand… Well, it was rude to think of other women when in the company of one of the best. 

The two of them chatted idly as they walked. Jill was always happy to hear about Skye’s progress with his search for that special ingredient. It was inspiring, seeing him work so hard to find something he wanted desperately. “That’s wonderful!” She chirped cheerfully. “You’ll find it soon, I’m sure of it.”

She gave him an encouraging smile.

“And you, my dear? How has Forget-Me-Not’s brightest gem been faring? None of these brutish men are giving you a hard time, are they?”

Jill casually waved off his concerns. “No, no. There’s no danger in that, I promise.” A small way to talk down on herself. Old habits died hard. “Everyone has been nice. Most people just leave me be since I have so much work to do all the time. But I don’t mind.”

“Oh right…” Lukas gave a hard blink, trying to collect himself for a moment. It worked a bit, actually, as he had pulled himself back into reality. Talking to someone helped– after all, the trees hadn’t been very good company (although there had been a lot of them. “I forgot you don’t have runies here.”

“Think you could help a fellow out?” The poet wanted to make a joke out of it, but he could barely get the words out, “I’ll make it worth your while.”

It was a shame he was too tired to put his full commitment into winking or fantastical gestures. Still, the stranger had been more than willing to approach him, which meant she must have a heart. Well, for once he couldn’t keep up his jokes or wit, and leaning his head back, he added, “Actually… some water or food would be barely less of a miracle right now.”

“It’s a detail to worry about later.” Jill hummed, looking over the man before her.  

“Think you could help a fellow out?” I’ll make it worth your while.”

Jill had to suppress a smile. “Hush, I’ll help you because you need it. And because I can.” She wrapped an arm around his side to help him up, doing her best to make sure he was relatively steady on his feet before they got going. “My house isn’t too far. It’s cool in there and I have food and a glass of water with your name on it - er. In theory. I don’t actually know your name.” She laughed. Ah, did she make it awkward? She hoped not. “Come on, I’ve got you.”

Ah, she seemed troubled by something. While Skye wasn’t one to pry into the minds of those who seemed down, he could certainly keep them company, so long as they wanted him around. Skye hummed for a moment, feigning thinking on his choices, when in reality he had only one. 

“Well, my beautiful princess, do you mind if I accompany you on your nighttime walk? It’s not very safe around here at nighttime. I hear there are thieves that run amok once the sun sets.” He gave her a playful wink, but didn’t make any move to stand beside her until she had agreed to what he offered. If she didn’t want him around, then he’d gladly go on his way. Still, though, he’d prefer if Jill was safe, even if she wanted to be alone. 

Skye was always full of flowery phrases and flattery, but a part of Jill felt that deep down - under the thrilling facade of being the Phantom Thief - he was a good guy. Most other people would just leave her to her own devices. Offer their condolences and wander off, but he offered to stay. 

The little jab at his less-than-legal occupation was pretty funny, too.

“No, I don’t mind,” Jill said with a hint of a smile. “I know you’ll keep me safe from whatever or whoever wants to do me harm.” She played along because it was fun, plus he would get a kick out of it. They began their casual stroll through the town in silence, quickly broken by Jill’s curiosity. “How’ve you been? Okay, I hope.”

king of pentacles: What makes you starry-eyed?

“Beating a hard boss in a video game.” She laughs. “Or seeing my crops begin to bud out of the ground. Chicks hatching and calves being born... what can I say? I’ve got simple tastes.”

[forgetmenot-violets-blog]

hermit

Hermit: What are you like when you’re alone?

Her face falls, looking more self-conscious. “Well, I dunno. I’m kinda normal, I guess? Busy.” Jill tilts her head in thought. “I um, get kinda sad. Sometimes. Doing things gets a little hard, but I try my best anyways.”

[forgetmenot-violets-blog]

world

World: What do you hope to accomplish before you die?

“I wanna have kids!” Jill smiled brightly. “Raise a family here in the valley. Make the farm a success. Make my dad proud…” She trails off. “Yeah, that would be nice.”

Help in Homely Places || Lukas & Jill

Lukas liked to consider himself a master in the art of traveling. He had been doing it for so long that he typically knew how long it would take him to get somewhere and what he could expect out of delays. Unfortunately, when charting unknown territory, it could get complicated even if he did have a map… and finding his way to Forget-Me-Not Valley was especially complicated, in his opinion. Still, at least he knew the route for next time… well, if he hadn’t lost the trail and found the village with luck alone.

“Just need to get to the inn…” Lukas sighed deeply as he leaned on the fence. It smelled like farm animals and manure, which actually surprised him quite a bit. It reminded him quite a bit of the first time he visited the farm in Kardia once Raguna moved in. Before, it had just been a barren land, but the sign of life brought about boundless inspiration. Oozing over the fence and allowing his backpack to slip off his back, he paused for a moment’s respite.

“Raguna… help me… what are friends for, anyway?” Lukas muttered to the earthmate, who was definitely in another castle farmstead. Well, maybe this farmer was just as dimwitted, polite, and overly helpful. The more the blonde considered that, though, the more he started to take it back– he knew another overly ‘helpful’ character in Kardia, and the last thing he wanted was to be handed a watering can. Internally laughing at the thought, Lukas let his back fall against the fence, losing to gravity and hitting the ground. He could just… sit here for a little bit, while the dizziness passed. He’d get up soon… probably. “Mmm… are runies edible…”

[forgetmenot-violets-blog]

It was hot that day. Like, stupid hot. Hot enough to make her crops wilt before noon without water, hot. Jill puffed up her cheeks and sighed as she looked over the morning’s handiwork. Despite the heat, and the sweat beading down her back, she had done a pretty good job. She had come a long way.

But there was still a long way to go. 

There were parts of her fields that were still overrun by weeds and branches and a whole bunch of other nasty things. The winter would make things easier by killing off all the plants - but that was a couple of seasons away anyway.

As she pondered upon her eternally extending list of things to do, a figure approached the fence of her farm. Jill walked over cautiously, quickly turning it into a run as the figure basically flopped over the fence. It was the bleeding heart in her. The unavoidable compulsion to help out whoever she could. She drew close and heard the person’s voice mumble something indistinguishable.

“Mmm… are runies edible…”

Jill knelt down to get a better look at the person’s face. “Well, that depends,” She mused, tilting her head. “What’s a runey?”

Mineral Town and Forget-Me-Not Valley were the two towns that Skye visited the most, mostly due to the fact that he lived in the woods between the two. It was simply convenient and he found great entertainment in the two farmers that supplied their respective towns. On this particular night, Skye leisurely made his way into Forget-Me-Not with his hands in his pockets and the moonlight illuminating his way. Just as expected, Jill was wandering about the valley, busy as ever. 

“Jill, looking beautiful as ever under the light of the moon. Why do you keep yourself so busy, hm? It’s awfully late out.”

[forgetmenot-violets-blog]

It was unusual for Jill to be wandering around at night, but the summer air was sweet and warm and she desperately needed a walk. Her thoughts clouded her thoughts as usual - worrying about the farm and everything she had to do -  and were keeping her from sleeping. The calm of the night helped ease her worries, there was something calming aboout looking up at the sky that always calmed her pouding heart.

“Jill, looking beautiful as ever under the light of the moon. Why do you keep yourself so busy, hm? It’s awfully late out.”

The familiar voice jolted her from her thoughts, and she glanced around in the dark looking for the face that matched the voice. “Skye.” She breathed. “You scared me.”

Jill shuffled from one foot to another, anxious. “I just needed to go for a walk. Couldn’t sleep.”
