"So, you are the owner of this farm." Jamie had seen this persons farm every so often, when she visited Candace with deliveries. "And I'm using the term loosely."

She stared at the purple-haired stranger before her, a laugh threatening to come out. Where had they come from?

“Yup!” Angela beamed as she gestured towards her pride and joy like a newly entitled parent. “Isn’t she a beaut! I mean, a little more work here and there and she’ll be up in no time, don’t you think?”

Not that she cared. The girl knew this farm would be the best because that’s what she was working toward. And when she put her mind towards something she always got what she wanted.

Her eyes wandered back to the stranger in the poncho. Obviously, they must have known a thing or two about farming or else they wouldn’t have pointed anything out.

“What about you? Do you have land or are you more of a delivery person? I don’t think we’ve met before. I’m Angela.” she punctuated the greeting by gesturing her hand out for formal shake.

Jamie/Raven

“I was looking for you,” Jamie said, stopping in front of Raven. The woolies with her greeted Rose and allowed hem into her group. Jamie crossed her arms under her poncho. “I heard something about this country from someone from here,” she said. 

Raven watched as Rose was instantly welcomed into the group of woolies, and suddenly the air was filled with the squeaky sounds of the monsters talking happily.  She smiled briefly at the sight before turning back to Jamie.  “Looking for me... ?” Raven hardly knew the other woman, so it seemed odd that she would seek her out, of all people.  “What about this country?”

Forced Cleaning || Pia & Jamie

It was a slow day at the bathhouse though the Inn was almost completely full which lead to Pia being, for maybe once in her life, bored. She tapped her feet, paced around, and even tried to make her own games before she had given up on all of that, making her way outside to try and attract customers.

She waved her arms and made some noise about the bathhouse but few people walked by; that was until one person caught her eye. Purple hair. Really big blanket over their body. She grinned, this was her shot. They looked like someone who could use a bath!

Grinning to herself the pinkette rushed over to the stranger and grabbed their arm, “No words, just follow me! You’ll thank me in the end~!”

Crop Inspection || Karina & Jamie

“I am,” Jamie answered. She looked down at the stranger tapping her foot. “There is a shipping bin right there. How did you not see it?” She already knew the answer from the girl’s posture.

Her eyes narrowed a bit at the farmer, not pleased with how she was speaking, “I work for a shop that buys some of your produce,” she paused to look at the clipboard that had a script she had to follow- Hazel always thought that part through, “We’ve been getting lower quality crop and I’ve been sent to check on the farms we buy from to see who it is so we can stop buying from them... (Not that I want to be doing this.)”

Jamie did not like leaving Flowerbud for so long. It felt irresponsible, but it had been some time since she last visited Sharance. Since seeing Raven again as a judge at the festival, she wanted to ask about something that concerned her. Along the way, Jamie had accidentally formed a small entourage of woolies along the way--not that she minded. She led them just as she would her sheep.

Raven stepped outside of the blacksmith, grateful to have a brief break from work.  As she walked outside, Rose followed closely behind, and the two of them made their way down the path.

Soon she saw a familiar woman approach, and behind her, quite a number of woolies.  "Uh… ?”  As she stared ahead of her in confusion, Rose eagerly ran to greet the monsters.

The Goddess and the Child (Marina/Jamie)

Jamie turned around, feeling the divine aura in the air around her. She gazed upon the woman, purple hair,  unmatched beauty, and a motherly gaze, but… This is not the Harvest Goddess. Jamie approached the pond again, looking up at the woman. “Who are you?” she asked. Did the Harvest Goddess change forms wherever she went? She was divine, but…

She smiled. “I’m a Harvest Goddess, of course.” Ah, that seemed too... vague. Marina rubbed at her temple, groaning. “Okay, let me rephrase that... My name is Marina, Marielle’s sister.” Marina laughed then said, “Or at least, one of them!”

Flowerbud and Leaf Valley were not too far from the other, and this was not the first time Jamie stopped by its spring. She knelt down by its water and laid a flower in it. "Spring is here," she said. "I'll be bringing you your favorites soon." She sighed deeply as she stood back up. "Humans don't deserve you." Maybe that was why she disappeared. But what about her?

This presence was so familiar and yet so different. Looking through the waters, there she was. How could she ever forget that face. Up Marina came from the pond, looking down at the girl that Marielle took care of. “I don’t believe you have the right to say who does and doesn’t deserve me,” she voiced, crossing her arms. “Those who live here, though… they need me.” No, wait. That wasn’t what she wanted to say. She took a deep breath. “It’s… wonderful to meet you, Jamie.”

[Gwen/Jamie]

"Tch, that can be argued." Shun seemed to understand Gwen’s words as well and gave a huff. She crossed her arms, adding. "And she retired Speedy before we settled things. This is Shun’s real last race. And you will see, once and for all, why he is the best. He deserved better than what happened last time…”

If she could bring Shun victory over Speedy—for her over Amanda, then she can finally be at peace. She can focus on bringing the Harvest Goddess back.

"Really? Considering I beat you both, what, twice now~?" Gwen asked, crossing her arms. Napoleon snorted and shook his head, more so at his owner than at Shun and Jamie. She narrowed her eyes at Jamie. "Is it really smart for you girls to bring out your animals out of retirement just because you're stupid pride is more important?"

Gwen opened her mouth to say more, so much more, but Napoleon tugged at her hair. So she closed it. Anything she would say may have ended up in another fist fight. She wasn't about to get in trouble with her grandfather again for giving Jamie a black eye. ... Even if doing so would make her feel better.
