Cooking festival, more like....! 

Uh.  Damn.  I thought I had something good coming there.

[the most uncomfortable pause anyone has ever experienced]

A-Ahem!  Welp, anyway, I know it's a bit on the simpler side, but I also made something for today! Behold, Roasted Squash and Tomatoes! 

First, I got an acorn squash, which is pretty much as fall as you can get, and sliced it up thinly.  I then cut two tomatoes into wedges.  I tossed these in a dish along with some sliced red onion, two smashed garlic cloves, one sprig of rosemary, two tablespoons of olive oil, one tablespoon of of balsamic vinegar, and, drumroll please....

Some salt and pepper to taste!

I stuck this in the oven for 40 minutes at 425 degrees fahrenheit, taking it out to stir once at the 20 minute mark.  When it was done, I sprinkled in some parmesan cheese and voila! So there you have it.  That's okay, you can hold your applause.

Holy Trampoli!! -- Raguna/Eunice

[snowstyleeunice-deactivated2015]

Her face turned a very deep and obvious red, but she moved to sit down near him regardless, a tiny smile on her face. This was nice, anyways. She set down the basket, and peeked up at him… He looked as if he’d been hard at work today, as always.

Eunice finally took the blanket off, trying to calm down enough to speak, “I-I wasn’t sure what you’d like, so I just tried to make something simple!” She motioned for him to take something, looking away from him.

[superfarmerlevel]

While for the most part everyone seemed to like him, there was something about how Eunice behaved around him that made Raguna wonder if she was always terribly uncomfortable in his presence.  She was nice, but she also always seemed to be rather on edge, keen to run away at any moment should he accidently say or do something that would frighten her.  

He made a conscious effort to act as gentle as possible around her, but even now she seemed so nervous.  If their weren't social conventions that discouraged it, he'd probably give her a hug and make her hot cocoa or something; things that calmed him down when he was nervous. But for now, he figured, he'd try and ease her tensions another way.

"Wow, this looks really good!"  He exclaimed as he fished a sandwich out of the basket.  He took a large bite, savoring the texture and flavors on his tongue, before swallowing and displaying a wide grin.  

"Of course!  I knew it.  You guys always make such good food.  did your parents help out, or did you just make this by yourself?"

I STILL LOVE THIS CHARACTER * - *

Holy Trampoli!! -- Raguna/Eunice

[snowstyleeunice-deactivated2015]

"You’re very welcome, Raguna. I'm so glad you like it—" She stopped, blinking as he started to walk away, “Wait— we?” She squeaked, but nodded slowly,

"A-alright. I’ll just wait over there." He was probably just… Uh… Her mind reeled trying to decide what he meant. He wasn’t intending to share lunch with her, was he? W-well it was just lunch… No need to look too deep into things. She stood where he’d pointed, playing with one of her braids awkwardly.

[superfarmerlevel]

As Raguna trotted back to his house his thoughts drifted over to the townspeople.  When he had first come to Trampoli, he'd worried that he'd seemed invasive, and would be unwelcome.  But just like Kardia, everyone was very open to the idea of someone new moving in, and had welcomed him with open arms.  This surprise visit and lunch courtesy of Eunice and her family was just further proof of that.

He hadn't realized how awful he looked until he saw his reflection in his mirror.  Clothes disheveled and smeared with an unholy combinations of dirt and sweat, he easily looked like he could have just been rolling around in the fields instead of trying to weed them.  He sighed, grabbing a towel, and began to try and wipe himself off a bit.  It didn't do much, he'd admit.  He probably wouldn't look entirely presentable unless he were to take a bath, but this would have to do for now.

On his way out, he picked up a worn-out blanket to sit on.  Raguna jogged back over to Eunice, apologizing, "Sorry for the wait!  Anyway, I'm excited for this food,"  He gave a wide grin and spread the blanket out, gesturing for her to sit.

"Geez, if only it weren't so hot out."

Holy Trampoli!! -- Raguna/Eunice

[snowstyleeunice-deactivated2015]

Eunice scurried over to Raguna’s side, letting a big smile cross her face. At least he seemed happy to see her!

"Hello, Raguna! Its been a very good few weeks, especially now that you’re around. You’ve put a lot of effort and work into the town… and…" She blushed rather brightly now, "I mean, you’ve been working so hard, I— we, wanted to do something special for you! So, heres some lunch, courtesy of Sunshine Inn." She flashed him a big, cheery smile and held up the basket. It was best that he think that the gift was from her family, rather than her, she thought.  "I hope you like it!"

[superfarmerlevel]

"Oh, wow,"  The farmer accepted the basket with a mixture of surprise and awe.  He had no idea that anyone in Trampoli thought so much of him!  That on its own was enough to brighten anyone's day, but the fact that it had also been delivered at such a laboring part of his day lifted his mood that much more.  "Wow... I'm really flattered.  Thank you guys so much,"

With one hand shielding his eyes from the sun and the other gently scratching his cheek, he spoke again, "I'll clean myself up a bit first, then we can sit over there," he gestured with his chin. Indeed, in his current state of sweat and dirt, he could stand to at least get a towel.  

"Why don't you go wait over there?  I can get a blanket to sit on, too."

Holy Trampoli!! -- Raguna/Eunice

Eunice moved a little closer towards the farm, taking a deep breath. Okay, relax, girl! You’ve got this! She set down the small basket she was carrying, and peered over the edge of the bubbling stream in front of her, trying to get a good look at herself, though naturally it didn’t help much. She let out a slight sigh. Perhaps she should invest in a pocket mirror. She rubbed her forehead, and finally managed to calm herself down to pick it up once more, and continue the walk. She peered around the edge of his home to glance over his field for him. Inside of the basket was a little bit of a thank-you to Raguna for working so hard. She’d baked them earler that day, a platter of cookies and a couple sandwiches sitting under the small pink blanket that kept them all fresh. She gulped, and finally stepped into the open, calling out his name.

[superfarmerlevel]

Hard at work or hardly working?  Raguna wasn't even so sure himself.  The late summer heat tired him out much quicker, and it seemed like no matter how much he sweat, he wasn't actually getting much done. He stood up from his weeding to admire his work, only to find that he hadn't actually made much progress.  Sighing, the farmer wiped the sweat from his brow and mentally prepared himself for hours of weeding in the harsh sunlight.

Until he heard someone call his name.  Raguna silently thanked the gods for the distraction before turning around to greet his visitor, "Oh, Eunice," He set down his basket full of weeds before pacing over to her. 

"I wasn't expecting you.  What's up?" 

[superfarmerlevel]

Do you have any favourite crops to grow? Why are they your favourites? What about monsters to raise?

I kinda like Spring crops in general. They usually don’t sell for as much, but getting up early to water ‘em is so much easier during that season.  It’s pretty peaceful, and also kinda nostalgic. 

As for monsters, I’m not super picky or anything.  I think they can all contribute something and be wonderful companions.  I do like Woolies, because they’re so gentle and just seem happy to do whatever.  

[superfarmerlevel]

What if I told you that in one town, Mice lives inside this humongous tree?

[He visibly cringes at the thought] 

That’s a bit… A-Ahem.  Well.  I won’t be going there. 

[superfarmerlevel]

Pros and Cons of living in Kardia vs Trampoli and vice versa? Which town do you prefer?

That’s actually really tough!

[He closes his eyes and shifts his weight back and forth, deep in thought] 

I guess… Well, I love both of them, and I do get back to Kardia pretty often.  It’s pretty quiet now, though.  I liked going to the ruins there; those were always really fascinating.  And the Kardian library is much more, ahem, organized.  Though it’s so close to the border, and I could tell everyone was always kinda nervous about that.

As for Trampoli, it’s a pretty cool place, too.   I think in general I like the layout of the town more, with everything all scattered around.  It’s cheesy as hell, but there’s this real kind ‘one with nature’ feeling, you feel me? And the bathhouse is pretty great here in Trampoli.

Honestly, if I could live in both places at the same time, I would. [shrugs] 

[elvenmaidtabatha]

Hey, Tabatha? [peeks out from behind a door, wondering if it's alright for him to enter the room] I've been having a some problems with one of my monsters recently. Can you help me out?

…? [Pricks up ears receiving the sound, then turning her head towards the source to see the familiar brunet.] Oh!— Hello Raguna. ♫ How are you? [Listens to his concerns, and nods her head affirmatively.] Yes, I can. Take me to your monster, and I can see if I can tell what’s wrong with them.

Are they hurt? [She asks, closing the front door behind her as she follows the farmer.]

[superfarmerlevel]

Well, I don't think it's hurt.  At least, I don't know how it could have gotten hurt.  Usually it just wanders around on the farm, and it doesn't actually look like it's hurt or anything. 

[He sighs, leading her back to his farm] It should be around here somewhere... [Scans the area before eventually spotting a Buffamoo behind some of his crops.  He points to it] 

Over there.  Whenever I get near it, it acts like it's about to charge.  It's actually head-butted me in the stomach already.  I, uh... I can't say I know exactly what's wrong with it. 

[superfarmerlevel]

Do you have any strange or obscure fears?

It’s not really a fear, but mice and rats are a bit… 

[superfarmerlevel]

If I were to tell you that someone finished cleaning up the mess you started by finally killing Ethelberd, what would you say?

[He cringes and clenches his fists, ‘the mess you started’ being a large blow to his pride] 

I would—… tch.

[Raguna unclenches one fist slowly and begins drumming his finger tips against his leg] I would congratulate them, if I ever met them.  It’s better for all of that to be over now.

Soul-Searching Sunday

[superfarmerlevel]

/Raps on his door at 5:59 in the morning. EXACTLY./ Young man! Young man, are you awake?! I certainly hope you've started your chores!!!

[The sudden knocking is enough to jolt him awake, and in his surprise he rolls right off the bed and onto the cold, hard wood floor]

I’m up!  I’m up! 

[Slowly stands up, dreading every moment that he’s not asleep] [He slowly makes his way over to the door, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and trying desperately to not look like a reanimated corpse]

Good morning. [He opens the door with a greeting before realizing that he forgot to get dressed.  He’s just kind of standing in the doorway in his underwear.  Fuck it.] 

Yeah, I’ve, uh… Been working real hard this morning.

[erik-licious]

/Deadpans…does this child think he’s an idiot? In other words, his equal? How dare he lie to someone who’s such a perfect role model, and one who takes time out of his own busy schedule to make sure his farm isn’t being too terribly neglected/

… /As if the unpleasant glare isn’t enough, he takes advantage of the young wannabe-farmer’s undoubtedly slow, post-waking-up reaction time and flicks him between the eyes/ …Yes, clearly you’ve been hard at work. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m your neighbor, not your babysitter!!

[superfarmerlevel]

[He flinches at the flick to his forehead, more out of surprise than actual pain] Hey! I work way harder than you give me credit for! 

I was up late last night, so I figured I could sleep in this morning. [He realizes that Erik will probably try to come up retaliation, so he offers an explanation]

And I've already harvested all of my summer crops, so it's mostly just a break until it cools down enough to start planting things for the fall.

Why are you even up this early, anyway?

[superfarmerlevel]
