Here is where the actual roleplay for Harvest Moon will take place. Here are the rules:
RULES
1. No emoticons. 2. No chatspeak. 3. All posts must be in character, unless within OOC brackets. Example: ((OOC: blahblahblahblah.)). Emoticons and chatspeak are permitted within OOC brackets. 4. All posts must be in third person, past tense format. Example: Darlene ran back home crying after what Greg had said to her. 5. No one sentence posts. This roleplay is meant to be read as a storybook. Make your posts as detailed and descriptive as possible. If you cannot think of more than a few sentences to write, don't write anything at all. 6. Please post the date, starting from Monday, Spring 1st, Year 1 on all of your posts. Also, when you are posting, please separate speech from narrative and put speech in italics. 7. You must start with a black heart for anyone in the roleplay and gradually work your way up. The rule will be a 20 day wait period in between heart events, so that people can't rush into marriages. Divorces are allowed. 8. Same-sex relationships and marriages are allowed. If you have a problem with that, you can leave the roleplay. We are a tolerant community, here. Same-sex couples can't have biological children with each other, just for realism purposes, but they can adopt children. One child at a time, please. 9. Obviously, no killing off characters unless you have permission from the other roleplayers. No posting the other member's character's responses, either unless you have permission. 10. I have decided to allow adoptions in this roleplay. There are not many characters so I highly doubt that Bakersville will become over populated with people and/or children. Just please control the population. To adopt you CAN NOT just go to the adoption center, find a child and take it that day. That will not be tolerated. You will need to look for the child you want then have paper work done and actually fully get responsibilty over the child after 30 days. 11. HAVE FUN!

*There are plenty of bachelors and bachelorettes to choose from, so no complaining that they're all taken! Also, please let me know who you have chosen so I can label them as taken. IF SOMEONE IS TAKEN, YOU CANNOT TRY TO START A ROMANTIC INVOLVEMENT WITH THEM!*
I realize that there have been new HM characters and new towns introduced since this RP was originally written. I will do my best to add them all in, but for now, just use the ones listed for marriageable spouses. There are plenty of them to go around.
Please also remember that "magical" characters are not allowed, due to complications that have risen in previous Harvest Moon roleplays on other websites concerning that.
UPDATES None yet.
THE STORY SO FAR...
Since this is just a general Harvest Moon roleplay, this is going to take place in a brand new town. This town is called Bakersville. Right now, there is nothing in this town. It's up to you guys to build it from the ground up! That means you need to get to work!
Bakersville is within walking distance of Mineral Town and Forget-Me-Not Valley. You can get to Melody Town by boat from Mineral Town. All your favourite Harvest Moon characters will be able to visit and you can visit them.
Well, you've got a lot of work to do. Building a barren land into a village isn't going to be easy. So get to it!

((Wednesday, Spring 9th, Year 1.))
Kevin's House
Ehlonna stared after Lily in wonderment. Well, the cacti water had worked to wake her but the bump on her head still looked swollen. Looking to Evette with a worried expression on her face, the wise woman leaned heavily on her sun staff and shook her head.
"Now, don' be feelin' guilty child." she said kindly. "Dere's not much anyone can do for head bumps 'cept wait. Lily'll heal up in time." she said. Nodding, Ehlonna quietly left Kevin's house and headed back to her little forest hut.
Ehlonna's Hut
Sighing, Ehlonna sat down on a log beside her small firepit and wiped a few tears from her eyes. She was sure everyone would be angry with her for not completely curing Lily.
Her bright glow once again began to flicker and dim in her depressed state, but at least she was back in the forest where she belonged.

((I have permission to use River. Spring 10th.))
~The beach~
Lily headed to the beach and saw a blond-haired guy lying on the sand by the water.
Is he dead? Lily wondered walking over to him.
Lily looked at him with worry. She sat down beside him and began to tap him gently.
When the guy stayed where he was not moving Lily tapped a little harder trying not to hurt him.
"Hello?" She called after a couple of minutes then repeated it.
She tapped him once more harder and he jumped up.
"Whoa!" He yelled looking at Lily, What are you doing!?! Can't you let me sleep?"
"Well sorry! You looked dead and I wanted to make sure you weren't." Lily said back as the guy's face turned back to its original color.
"Sorry about that... I was just startled, it is not everyday you have someone poking you to make sure you are not dead." He said sitting back down.

((Oh crap I haven't replied to this forum in awhile! Well I'm here now so....))
The Beach (Spring 10th)
River sat back down after yelling at the stranger and she sat down as well. River decided that just being silent was going to do and he wanted to keep his mind off of everything else, "So? Who are you anyways?" River questioned looking right into the girl's eyes.
"Oh? Who am I? I'm..." She paused for a second, it was almost like she had forgotten her name, "I'm Lily! Lily of course!" She replied nervously.
River shook his head a little confused, "Well I'm River. Just found this town last night." He siad while holding out his hand for her to shake.

Thursday, Spring 10, Year 1
Inner Inn
Sunest awoke this morning, after having helped out take care of Lily. Normally, he would go down to the beach to experience the sunset at this time, but today, he had to go and meet Ricky for work. And so he did.
Sunrise Farm
"Hey, Ricky." Sunset greeted as he walked into the farm.
"Hey, there, Sunset! Good to see ya this morning! Well, since this is your first day, why dob't you just help me water the crops. Hey, maybe tomorrow I'll let you take care of the horse!" Ricky instructed kindly.
"Awesome! Alright, let's get started!"
And the two boys began their farmwork.

((Sorry The life liver and Travis. Your characters and names have been added.))
~The beach~
Lily shook River's hand and then looked at him.
"Yeah, this place is new to all of us. I found it wandering around by the valley." Lily said looking at the waves in the ocean. "Wow they are really nice today."
River turned around and looked at them aswell.
"My house is the one almost exactly at the entrance of the beach. So if you need anything feel free to ask."
((In the character profile's, I created someone to run the inn. Please read the profile.))
~The inn in Bakersville~
"Wow Gotz. You really got the building just right. It looks exactly like my fathers old one." Joesph said going inside the newly built 2 story inn.
He placed his laptop on the counter and looked upstairs at the 10 bedrooms for the guests.
"The money for this place is in the mail, it should get to you soon." Joesph stated as Gotz smiled and left the inn.
"I can't believe I am going to actually work, let alone run an inn." He said surprised then sat at his desk typing on his laptop.
"Oh! I have to people know about this place." He yelled grabbing the big now open sign and placing it on the window.

((I'm going to make a healer and midwife for the town as well, if that's okay Lauren. Thursday, Spring 10th, Year 1.))
Ehlonna's Hut
Ehlonna woke up and crawled out of her hut, breathing in the fresh air of the morning. Sighing, she sat down on her log beside her fire pit and absent-mindedly poked the ashes with a stick.
"Why am I always destined to be alone?" she whispered sadly. "What is so different about me? I don't understand..." she sighed.

Thursday Spring 10th, Year 1
James walked out of his small house to get ready for work at the small doctor's office he owned. "This seems like a quaint little town..." James thought, heading to work. It was a small town, so he didn't get much business, but he'd manage to make a living, somehow. The town was getting bigger. James felt bad making a living off of other people's injuries, but it needed to be done.

((Yay the INN keeper has been made! Well I'm going to post now, haven't for awhile. ;D))
The Inn (Spring 10th)
River followed Lily as they both left the beach and they began to walk towards a two-story building that looked quite bigger and newly constructed. "Where are we going Lily?" River asked looking at his new friend.
"I don't know, I just saw this new building being made yesterday when I was coming back from my healer's house, I think it may be an Inn. And I thought we should check it out, it's alright River right?" Lily questioned as they continued to get closer to the building.
River stared right up at the building, it seemed to just be getting bigger and bigger, "Yah it's fine, I'm a bit excited!" River laughed running to the door, "Come on no more waiting were going inside!"
They both left the peaceful outside world, the blank skies, the shining sun, and the afternoon. Lily and River both left it to go inside. When River walked inside closing the door behind him and Lily they both stared at a man standing behind a counter with a laptop. "Hey, I got visitors already!" He shouted, waving to them.
"Hi." Lily spoke walking over to him and bring River with her. "I'm Lily, and this is River." She introduced both of them to the man, River and him shook hands.
"Well I'm Joseph, the new Inn keeper of this town. It was nice to meet you, are you here to just see whats going on or do you two need a room, you look like a nice couple." Joseph questioned glancing at both of them then at his laptop.
"Umm... Well were not a couple!" Lily spoke a little nervously then everything went silent, "Yah we just met, I woke up on the beach and she was poking me," River laughed breaking the silence.
"Oh ok, well then would one of you like to buy a room?" Joseph spoke hoping to get his first customer.
Lily looked at River knowing that he probably would need a room, "I do? I spent all last night sleeping on the beach, it would be great to do it in a bed." River answered hoping that he could afford the room that the man would offer him.
"Well great! Just opened my Inn and now I have my first customer, and since your my first I'm going to let you have the room free for the week, but then you gotta pay after Ok?" Joseph said laughing jollily.
River stared star struck at the man, he couldn't believe that he would be living there for a week free. Never had anything like that ever happened in his life. Everything was also going wrong, now things were maybe starting to go right?

((Yes Ashleigh that's fine. Spring 10th.))
~The inn~
"Wow that's nice of you Joesph." Lily smiled, "I guess I wont be poking you to see if your alive on the beach anymore." She giggled.
"Here let me show you your room." Joesph said walking up the stairs with Lily and River following him. "Here we are, room 1. There's the key to it for you." He said first opening the door then handing River the key.
"Thanks" River said walking in his room with Lily and Joesph following.
"Well I guess I will let you get suited in your new "home". I'll be seeing you I guess. Bye." Lily smiled saying goodbye to River for now.
"She seems nice." Joesph said to River once Lily left.
~Lily's house~
Lily returned home and right away grabbed a pencil and a notebook to draw a picture of River, remembering what he looked like.
"This will be like a welcoming gift. I'll maybe give him some cookies or something as well." Lily smiled beginning to draw him.
"If only, if only the woodpecker sighed, the bark on the trees was as soft as the skies, the wolf waits below hungry and lonely, he cries to the moon, if only, if only......" She sang continuing to draw.

Ehlonna's Hut
Ehlonna sang as she climbed gracefully up a tree to pick some fruit for her breakfast when the sound of a guitar broke through the air. Ehlonna sat there and stared curiously through the trees, wondering what the sound could be.
Black Heart Event!
A man came walking peacefully through the dense forest strumming on a small wooden guitar. He wore a long green pointed hat with a flower sticking out from one side and wore an odd assortment of brightly coloured clothes. He sang rather nicely along with his instrument, but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw her.
Smiling, he nodded and looked a little dazed by her hauntingly unearthly beauty, but managed to speak to her. "Lovely morning. Who are you?" he asked her, but not quite trusting him yet Ehlonna hopped down from her tree branch and fled deeper into the forest.
Waiting to see whether he would follow her or not, the man merely nodded, accepting it in stride and wandered off. "What a beautiful woman... that is, if she's human. I should write a song about her." he told himself as he left.
Ehlonna smiled after him through the trees, feeling drawn towards this man who seemed so at home and comfortable out here among the wilds.
End of Black Heart Event!

Friday, Spring 11th.
Kevin, after all that fiasco about Lily, decided to go and visit some of the other towns nearby. He already had visited Mineral Town, so it was time to take a look at the valley.
Forget-Me-Not Valley
Kevin walked around, until he noticed a small path that windled up a small hill. He decided to take a look. upon reaching the top of the hill, he noticed a large tree, and a small spring near by it. He also noticed a girl standing by the spring, picking flowers.
"Um, hello, miss. My name is Kevin. I see you like Toy Flowers."
"Oh, hi. My name is Lumina, and i like all flowers, but i really love certain colored diamonds, and a very special tea. In that tree there, there are creatures that sell special tea leaves, but you need to play really challenging casino games to get sprite tokens to buy them. Would you mind helping me out?"
"Um, sure, i guess, how much are tea leaves?"
"1000 tokens, but if you play poker, you might be able to win it all in a nutshell!"
Kevin nodded as he and Lumina walked to the tree, opening the door, then walked down the path to the casino games.
"Here, i have 10 tokens left, please win!" Lumina said as Kevin bet the 10 tokens, then prayed on lady luck to get something good.
"Ok,kid, you got a joker, 3 fives, and a queen. You can keep the 4 of a kind and ge 500 coins, or you can press your luck and exchange the queen for a random card. If you get another 5, you can earn 1000 coins."
"Ill change the queen, and all of the fives." Kevin said as the sprite did as he wished. first, the queen was exchanged for a 4, then the fives all turned to be...4's!
"Wow kid, you are sure some kind of lucky, here is your 1000 tokens."
"YAY KEVIN!!!" Lumina cheered, taking the coins over to the exchange desk, and getting the leaves. "Well, thank you Kevin, ill have my butler send you a thank you gift. You live in bakersville, right?"
"Um, yeah,i do, but dont bother sending me a thank you gift, the pleasure of helping a young maiden is a gift enough." Lumina giggled as she walked off.
(Yes, im taking Lumina)

((Guys come one let's get to the roleplaying! Spring 10th.))
~Lily house~
Lily finished her drawing of River and placed the paper on her side table by her bed.
Lily got into her PJ's then hopped into bed.
"I will give it to him tomorrow." She yawned closing her eyes and falling asleep.
((Spring 11th.))
~Lily's house~
Lily awoke early and made herself some coffee before getting dressed and heading out of the door to the inn with her drawing.
~The inn~
Lily walked in the inn and saw Joesph making coffee for himself.
"Oh hello Lily, I am afraid that River is still sleeping." Joesph stated pouring his coffee into a mug.
"That's fine i thought he still would be. Please could you just give him this? Tell him it's from Lily." She smiled giving Joesph the drawing. She then left the inn and returned home.
"Wow this is incredible. Oh there is something on the back! Dear River, please take this as an apology for poking you when you were asleep. I promise I wont do it again, at least not anytime soon. I will be seeing your around I guess. From the girl who poked you, Lily." Joesph finished taking in a deep breath, "That's sweet of her, I will have to go ask her if she could draw me some pictures to hang up in the inn." Joseph walked up the steps of the inn and quietly entered River's room.
He will like this. Joesph thought placing the drawing on the bed stand by River's bed.
~Lauren~

((Saturday, Spring 12th, Year 1.))
The Forest
Ehlonna was intrigued by the man she saw in the forest the other day. She decided she would go look for him, but she didn't know where to find him.
She had wandered around for a good hour with no luck, when suddenly it came to her that the villagers might know where this man lived. She hastily ventured through the dangerous thickets of forest to come to Bakersville.
Bakersville
Wandering around, Ehlonna saw that it was still early and not many people were outside. Feeling disappointed, she turned to walk back into the forest when she spotted Lily a bit far off. She walked up to her, feeling uncomfortable being within the villaage.
"Um, hello Lily. I met a man yesterday and I'm looking for him. He wore a large pointed green hat and had a guitar. Do you know who he is or where I can find him?" she asked hesitantly.

Saturday Spring 12 Year 1
No luck for anything so far. He was never really off, but on Saturdays he just left his number on the door and strolled around town. Not much to do, but a cup of coffee and a few villagers would keep him busy. And there, he saw two women, both about his age, talking about a man with a guitar. He would wait until they were done until he started trying to talk to them, but for now, he just listened.
OOC: No, this isn't a black heart event, he just is kind of depressed and wants to talk.
