{ Part of town-square. Struck mute at birth, Adam's personality came off as quiet and shy to most, who figured he was just too shy to speak. When a chance encounter with the Harvest Goddess cured Adam's muteness in exchange for a newborn chick from his father's farm, which his father, whom passed soon after, was happy to give knowing it could cure his son as his final gift. When his father passed, their ranch and property was sold, and Adam given just a small percent, the rest used to pay off debts. With that money, Adam moved from home and looked for a property, somewhere to make his living. A chance peak at a newspaper changed everything...

Here’s a gif set of all of Weegee’s dance moves in “Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon” cause I haven’t seen it done and it’s a shame.

Looney

Bloody hell, Luna likes putting dresses on poor Aden. I mean, I understand she wants baby pictures of her kids but... Cripes, isn't that a bit overboard? Why not get a nice... Normal family picture instead with me, her, Aden, Ella and Richie?

There we go, if you're not on the Masterlist, you're unfollowed.

Making the Most of It | Adam and Molly

[ranchstory-adam]

"My father used to own a farm" he explained. "We had to sell it when he died so I could go to school… I used to work with him on it all the time, so I kind of have the experience to a degree’

[hikari-motome]

"I’m sorry for the loss of you father," Molly said somberly. "It’s great that you had that experience on the farm, though. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you go to school for? And did you manage to buy back your father’s farm?" She tilted her head to the side in curiosity.

[ranchstory-adam]

"I went to MHS, and...."

He sighed and looked down. "No. The animals were sold or slaughtered, the crops were sold, the house and barn was demolished... They flatted the place for more room for public buildings" he said sadly. "I bought a plot of land while I was a senior and the next year I built my farm from nothing"

Making the Most of It | Adam and Molly

[ranchstory-adam]

He made a mental note about the rosy cheeks, but nodded with a smile. “Yeah… Twins. Born recently. They’re a handful” he said with a little laugh. “It was only recently we just got to get some sleep actually… The last few weeks have been hell on earth. Feed them, eat ourselves, work, feed them again, put them to bed again, work… Deal with them waking up, feed, change, work… Ugh”

[hikari-motome]

"Yep, it sounds like a lot of feeding and work, but no sleep." Molly smiled. Nope, she was definitely not ready for that. Then again, who ever was? The funny thing was though… Adam didn’t look much older than her. She wondered about his age, but she supposed it would be rude to ask. It’s just that he seemed to have accomplished so much compared to her. Running a farm, raising a family… 

"Heh, you’ll have to give me some tips sometime. I lived in the city all my life, so I’m a total newbie at all this." 

[ranchstory-adam]

"My father used to own a farm" he explained. "We had to sell it when he died so I could go to school... I used to work with him on it all the time, so I kind of have the experience to a degree'

Making the Most of It | Adam and Molly

[ranchstory-adam]

Adam smiled a bit. “Yeah, I kind of guessed. I’ve been doing this a couple of years, got a nice living, a few animals, doing good with crops… Trying to raise a family. I’m in Castanet for supplies and to explore some”

[hikari-motome]

Molly cheeks brightened to a rosy pink as he mentioned a family. “Oh? That’s amazing!” She chuckled a bit. “You got some tykes running around? How old are they?” Adam must have had quite the successful farm if he could raise a family on it. Molly herself never considered having to support anyone but herself, but she supposed she ought to think about it if this farm thing turned out to be long-term. (Which she hoped it would be.) 

[ranchstory-adam]

He made a mental note about the rosy cheeks, but nodded with a smile. "Yeah... Twins. Born recently. They're a handful" he said with a little laugh. "It was only recently we just got to get some sleep actually... The last few weeks have been hell on earth. Feed them, eat ourselves, work, feed them again, put them to bed again, work... Deal with them waking up, feed, change, work... Ugh"

Making the Most of It | Adam and Molly

[ranchstory-adam]

Adam smiled as he shook her hand. “I’m not from around here, no. Just visiting. I live on a farm past the lake, I usually take a boat to get here”

[hikari-motome]

Molly’s eyes brightened. “Oh, so you’re a farmer as well?” She let out a laugh, puffs of white air filling the air as she did so. “That’s great, so am I! Er, if you couldn’t guess that, is.” She scratched her cheek as she smiled. Didn’t she already mention that she just moved onto the farm? Anyone could guess that she was a farmer. 

"So Adam, what brings you to Castanet?" 

[ranchstory-adam]

Adam smiled a bit. "Yeah, I kind of guessed. I've been doing this a couple of years, got a nice living, a few animals, doing good with crops... Trying to raise a family. I'm in Castanet for supplies and to explore some"

Baby Bomb @Claire

Adam was walking along the bazaar in town, towing a stroller with his baby boy, Aden inside. His daughter, Ella had been left at home with Luna as to keep her company while Adam went shopping for more food and baby products. Adam walked into the general store, towing Aden in front of him, who stared out at all the new sights.

[oldconfelicitous-blog1]

"Adam..!" Claire hoped she wasn’t jumping to conclusions when she saw that familiar hat and brunette hair. It seemed like the guy had a baby in tow too, heh. It must have been Adam! Her eyes couldn’t be fooling her now. As she picked up the pace, she pulled up her scarf to shield the cold breeze that was biting at her face.

Walking into the store, Claire waved to Adam and called out to him again. “Hey Adam! Long time no see..!” She smiled down at the baby he brought with him, tucked nicely under jackets and blankets. “How are you enjoying the holidays?”

[ranchstory-adam]

Adam looked back and gave a warm smile to Claire, recognizing her. "Hey Claire! They're busy, as always. Especially with the twins here too!" he said with a smile. He adjusted the blankets on Aden to make him more comfortable. "This little guy is gonna make the holidays that much more special though... All work aside..."

Making the Most of It | Adam and Molly

[ranchstory-adam]

Adam, who was taking a walk around the area to explore some, jolted in surprise when the woman came up to him.

"Nope, just looking around. I don’t think I’ve seen you around here before though…" Adam replied, holding out a hand. "I’m Adam"

[hikari-motome]

Molly smiled and slipped her gloved hand into his, giving it a firm shake. “Nice to meet you Adam, my name is Molly.” She laughed a bit when he mentioned not seeing her around before. 

"I’m not surprised, I just moved onto the farm a few weeks back, so I’m still pretty new." She let her hand fall back to her side. "Are you from town? I’ve made some rounds to introduce myself to a few people, but I don’t think I’ve seen you." 

[ranchstory-adam]

Adam smiled as he shook her hand. "I'm not from around here, no. Just visiting. I live on a farm past the lake, I usually take a boat to get here"

[ranchstory-adam]

Truth: Have you ever thought about what you would do if you lost Luna?

Mhm.

Making the Most of It | Adam and Molly

A cool chill lingered in the air despite the rays of sun reflecting off the ice. Snow crunched under Molly’s feet as she toured her farm, inspecting the barn and coop built on her property. Really, they were little more than wooden shacks; whether they could actually house animals was highly questionable. But to be fair, she didn’t sign up for this job without expecting some labor (she would be a farmer after all). Yeah, all the buildings, including her own house, were fixer-uppers, but she was sure she could manage with the proper materials.

It was then that she noticed a strange sound behind her. Footsteps, to be exact, and they weren’t her own. Turning around, Molly spotted a base-ball hated man in her fields (not that you could tell that they were fields with the three inches of snow covering the ground). Sticking her hands in her coat pockets, Molly made her way towards where he was standing, an easy smile on her face. She briefly wondered if he was a local in town.

"Hey, can I help you with something?" the woman called once she was in earshot. 

[ranchstory-adam]

Adam, who was taking a walk around the area to explore some, jolted in surprise when the woman came up to him.

"Nope, just looking around. I don't think I've seen you around here before though..." Adam replied, holding out a hand. "I'm Adam"

Active Again

Now that Looney's helped get everything under control, I can finally get back to work! Those crops ain't gonna water themselves!

[ranchstory-adam]

Whew...

Sorry I haven't been around much. It's been work, take care of the kids, keep Luna happy, sleep... Thank god it got a bit easier to keep the twins in check now that Looney has regained her strength. Neither Little Richie or myself got an INCH of sleep taking care of the twins while Looney was bedridden after the birth.

Now that I'm starting to get into the swing of things, I might pop in a little more, now that I got a tiny bit of free time in between work, feed, burp, bathe, rock to sleep, feed, repeat.

Big News || Luna, Candace & Adam

[ranchstory-adam]

He blinks. Why didn’t Luna ever tell Candace about him? Was she ashamed of him? Did she not want her family to know about him, because she thought he’d be an embarrassment to her? He bit his lip, took a deep breath and met her eyes again. “I’ve known her about 5 years… Since high school, we dated then, and then when I graduated she’d come to my farm on weekends and visit during the summer, and then a few years later she went off to Paris, and I never saw her again until about a month or so ago, when we reunited. We got back together… Or rekindled what we already had going, I guess…"

[threadbarespirit-deactivated201]

Candace shut her eyes. Five years. That was a long time. The pain had dulled, but it definitely hadn’t gone. No, that wouldn’t happen anytime soon. She realized that it would be useless to ask any more questions. The answers were obvious.

Except for one. “Mr. Adam… w-why are you r-really here…" She said, shaking her head with fatigue. "…….It’s to take a-away my s-sister, r-right?"

[ranchstory-adam]

He saw the sad look in her eyes and sighed. Adam knew this wasn't going to be easy. He sighed and simply replied with "She's been at the house a week now... Just came to pick up her things. I came to meet you, actually, because I promised your grandmother, who's living with us till the baby's born, even though I'd been trying to anyway... And I figured I'd pick up Luna anyway since she was here picking up her stuff, and I don't want the poor gal hauling everything on her own... Especially while she's pregnant..."

Aden And Ella
