Friday Spring 11th Year 1
Austin knew that he had little chance of finding a local herb specialist, so he sighed heavily and went home. Like every day, no one needed medical attention. "Is this what I went to college for, to start in a small town and go broke?" Austin wondered, as he noticed it was dark, so he went to bed.
Saturday Spring 12 Year 1
Austin awoke. He was fully rested, but for some reason wanted to stay in bed. "I have to get up, I have work today..." he mumbled to himself, getting up to fix himself a cup of coffee. He headed off to the office, for what would probably be another boring day at the office.

Spring 12th
~The inn~
"Oh Lily. Um I was wondering if you could draw me some pictures to hang up around the inn, I am willing to pay." Joesph asked as Lily added a pinch of salt, and pepper into the sauce she was making, then tasting it.
"Ok sure, I have a lot of paintings and drawings at my studio right by here. Feel free to come in and take a look around." Lily sighed, she couldnt get her mind off of River.
"Ok, hey is everything alright?" Joesph asked worried.
"Oh I am fine. Just a little tired I guess. Anyway there is pasta in the fridge for you and River if he comes back. Goodbye Joesph." Lily said grabbing her bag then fleding the inn to return home, still worried and angry.

((Spring 12, year 1)) ((ashleigh, you forgot steiner for forget-me-not valley, and is there going to be a list of people from island of happiness, the bachelors?)) Alyson got off the boat, and she looked at the barren town. "Wow, this town is so quiet and sweet, I like it," she said to herself.
She walked until she saw a small building, with the words, INN, on the side. She decided to walk in and get a room there, it looked like a nice enough place to stay until she could build a house. She walked in, and walked up to the young man at the counter.
"would you mind if I stayed her awhile, I have the money, I just need it until i get a house built."
"Sure, it's 100g a night right now, about how long would you like to stay?" the innkeeper asked.
"About two weeks, oh, and my name is Alyson, what's yours?" Alyson responded. She liked this man, he seemed nice, perhaps she should ask him whether there was a supermarket.
"Oh, I'm Joseph. If you need anything, feel free to ask."
Alyson decided that she should go to the woodcutter to get a house built. But, first, she would need to build her supermarket, if no one else had already. Oh well, she should probably wait until tomorrow. First, she would go explore the town.

((Talk with Lauren about adding bachelors, but personally I eel that there are already plenty of guys to choose from so there's no need to ad any more. I hope you don't mind me getting the ball rolling with Niamh, Austin. Saturday, Spring 12th, Year 1.))
Bakersville
"Niamh, I'm hungry..." the five year old boy told his mother grumpily. Niamh just raised an eyebrow and beckoned for him to follow her more closely.
"I'm sure you can wait a few minutes to eat, Diarmid." she replied calmly, taking his hand and picking up her pace to reach the small village she had heard of. Perhaps this was finally the place where she could stay for good with her son and make a living as a healer and midwife. Reaching a small inn, Niamh ushered her son inside and walked up to the counter. A man came striding out with a laptop and broad smile.
"Hey, new faces." he said brightly. "I'm Joseph, nice to meet you. Would you be looking for a room?" he asked. Niamh nodded as she gave her son a stern look because he had been snooping around behind the counter. Diarmid stopped what he was doing and gave Niamh a sheepish grin.
"Yes." she replied. "I'm Niamh and this is my son, Diarmid. He just turned five a few weeks ago." she said, rummaging in her bag for some money. Joseph looked surprised.
"Five, eh? You look young to have a child that age... forgive me, I shouldn't have said anything." he added, going a little red. Niamh shook her head.
"Yeah, I had him young. Anyway... a room please?" she asked, quickly getting the subject off of herself. Joseph nodded and handed her a key in exchange for the money she handed him.
"Sure thing. This key's for the third door on the left upstairs. It's got a big bed that you and your son can share... sorry but I'm afraid our rooms are usually only meant for one person." he apologized. Niamh gave a small smile.
"That's alright. Thank you... oh, and is there room for a healer and midwife in this village? It's sort of my occupation." she told him. Joseph nodded.
"Well we already have a conventional doctor by the name of Austin, but I hear he's been looking for someone to teach him about natural healing remedies and help him out. He lives just East of here. You should go see him." he told her.
"Thank you, I will." Niamh answered. "Diarmid, go upstairs and unpack your things, please. There's a sandwich in my bag for you. Eat that, okay?" she said, handing the little boy the key. Joseph looked surprised that the young woman treated her son as an adult. That was just how Niamh thought it best to raise him. Being too sheltered only led to rebelliousness and stupid mistakes. She had learned that from experience. Turning to Joseph, she asked. "He will be safe here, right?".
"Of course. This is a very safe village. Everyone looks out for each other here." he told her proudly. Niamh called after her son who was already half-way up the stairs with their bags. "Diarmid, I'm going to see this Austin fellow! I don't know how long I'll be. If you decide to wander, leave a note." she told him.
"Okay, Niamh!" he called back, disappearing onto the second floor. Again, Joseph was puzzled that the boy called his mother by her name. She really did have unusual parenting methods but it seemed to work well for the two of them.
"He won't cause trouble. He's pretty well behaved." Niamh told Joseph before leaving to go find this Austin fellow to ask for a job, following the directions Joseph had given her.
((You can take it from here Austin. I'll be getting back to Ehlonna in my next post. I know you know Niamh's personality ell, so no worries .))

Saturday, Spring 12 Year 1
Austin was bored. He hadn't had any customers, everyone was too healthy. I suppose that's a good thing. Austin mumbled with a small sigh. Then a door opened, and a woman came in. "May I help you? Austin asked, immediately alert. "Are you Austin?" the woman asked. "Yes, I am." Austin replied. "I have come asking for a job." The lady said. "I'm only hiring applicants that know of midwifery and herbs. If you are good with those, then you are hired." Austin replied, hope draining. He thought the lady was injured, because she was so young. He doubted seriously she could know of the things he needed. "When do I start? The lady asked confidently. "Whoa, wait a second. You can teach me about herbs and midwifery?! You start tomorrow! Austin replied, dumbfounded. Indeed. My name is Niamh, by the way. Niamh said, leaving the clinic.

Saturday, Spring 12, Year 1
The Cave
"Good idea, Ehlonna. Rest would be good." Gustafa yawned and began to help Ehlonna settle down the camp. Nami was watching Sunset, who seemed to be getting paler.
"I'm worried 'bout him. He don't look too well." Nami mumbled to Ehlonna.
"H-Hey, does, anyone have a match?" Sunset asked, stammering.
"Sure, I got one right here, what you need it for?" Nami asked, pulling the match out of her bag and holding it out. Sunset just took it without answering, and used it to light a cigarrette.
"Sunset, what are you doing?! You shouldn't be smoking!" Nami scolded, but Sunset gave no answer. He lit the cigarrette, but did not put it to his lips. Instead, he took the butt and placed it on the bite mark on his hands, holding it there. "What is he doing?" Nami muttered to herself.
((Just in case anyone was wondering, that is a method in which slows down the poison from running through the vains, as the poison is attracted to heat, and the cigarrette pulls it back to the hand.))

((Happy Birthday again to Ashleigh!!! Spring 11th))
The Path
Right as River has sprang into the sky, tripping over a fallen branch, he glided right into the small stream below, but right when he hit the water River's head went "SMACK" against a large rock.
In a matter of minutes River's sight went black and he too was out! The rock had knocked him unconsicious. As he had been knocked out, River sank lower and lower into the water, would he drown there? Or would someone come for him...
The sun outside had sunken into the skies, making the area around River almost completly pitch-black, so that nobody could find him. But in the next few seconds something inside River made him move, he was awakening, but only for a moment, this sudden burst of strength allowed him to craw up on the side of the stream so that he was above the water and alive.

Saturday, spring 12th
Kevin began reading the text of the book.
"The Neado Fish is a very special fish indeed. In mythical terms, it is only found when a pure being is fishing, but in the modern world, the fish is needed to cure an illness of a woman in the fairy tale Kardia: The tales of the mythical.
For the Neado Fish is a very special fish, it is obvious that it was in mythology, and in a fairy tale. What makes the fish special is that 1 in 5 male Neado fish have a very high priced jewel on their foreheads, while the other 4 of 5 males have a very pretty rainbow scale on their foreheads. While the females, have nothing special about them besides the ability to breed males 2/5 of the time, and 3/5 of the time females. The Neado Fish is a fish that, if you want to be rich, you must be patient, and have extreme math skills, and the ability to travel through time, or space, or into a story book.
Kardia is the center of the stories of the Neado Fish though. In mythology, Kardia was the name of a small village near greece, italy, and europe, which is impossible to the untrained mind. In the story tale, a man finds an underground mine, and a portal mystically appears, sucking him into Kardia, where he finds a woman with an extreme illness, catches the male fish with the jewel, and places the jewel on the girls forehead, killing off every virus in her body, saving her.
None of those stories seem to help though. But still, the Neado Fish is still considered legendary, since it was considered in mythology."
"I will find this fish, and Kardia, no matter what! I need the money if im gonna impress Lumina!
Kevin went to a far corner of Bakersville and started digging, then he discovered a staircase.
(there, i edited it so i dont sound stupid.lol.)

((I thought Lily didn't have amnesia anymore . Sunday, Spring 12th, Year 1.))
The Cave
Ehlonna nodded and buried the cigarette into the dirt after Sunset had finished with it. Standing up, she pushed a lock of hair out of her eyes.
"Any kind of hot metal would have done done quite well, also." she said in her enchanting, sing-song voice. Gustafa nodded and began to pluck a few strings on his guitar. Nami shook her head.
"Oh yeah. I think I remember that trick from somewhere I visited now that you mention it. I still don't know why someone who doesn't smoke would carry a pack of cigarettes with them... just in case of snake bites, I guess. Never know when that'll happen." she said sarcastically with a grin.
"Wow, it's already pitch black... we need to get up really early if we want to see the sun rise over the peak of the mountain tomorrow. We're only half-way there as it is. Let's set up camp." Gustafa suggested. Everyone agreed to sleep inside the cave and soon they were all in their sleeping bags with Nami and Sunset on one side of the cave and Ehlonna and Gustafa on the other.
"I feel... at peace here." Ehlonna whispered quietly to Gustafa after Nami and Sunset had gone to sleep. Gustafa smiled.
"You look radiant here. Perhaps this place holds secrets for you." he replied, referring to her radiant glow but subtly enough so that Ehlonna did not catch the underlying meaning. She smiled.
"Perhaps so." she whispered back. A sudden wind blew in from the opening of the cave, making Ehlonna shiver, but Gustafa draped one of his extra blankets over her to keep her warm. Ehlonna's cheeks went a light shade of pink and she smiled. "Thank you." she told him.
"You're welcome, Ehlonna." Gutafa replied with a yawn.

((You don't have to see the bachelors heart events, do you? I want to claim Cliff please!)) ((Sunday, Spring 12th, year 1)) Alyson walked out of the inn, her mind full of excitement. She couldn't wait to meet the villagers, see the sights, and most of all look at all the nature around her.
She walked a little and got to a small path. She took the path, which led to a spring. She assumed that this spring was part of Forget-Me-Not Valley, since when she walked here, she noticed a sign about Forget-Me-Not Valley. She left the spring, and walked up a mountainside, only to find herself in Mineral Town. She knew this town well, since her family had once came here on vacation.
She decided to go to the inn first and visit Ann. She knew her well, and she wanted to see how she had been the past few years. When she got to the inn, Ann looked the same as ever. After reminiscing and catching up, Alyson decided to walk to the church. She knew Carter, and figured that he would know the path for her to take as far as building her store. It was about ten am by now, so she decided this would be her last stop in mineral town, then she would go and eat lunch.
After talking to Carter, she walked the long journey to Bakersville, and back to the inn, where she got some food. From there she called Gotz and asked him to build her a store with two stories, one for her bedroom, and another for the store itself. She was left with 100g, so she knew she would have to get a job, and quick. Maybe she could help at the inn for a while, after all, she knew how to cook alright, and she was a very skilled businesswoman. She would have to ask Joseph tomorrow, for now, she would go to her room and plan her store.

Sundae, Spring 13, Year 1
The Cave
The next morning, Nami was first awake again. Sunset was looking extremely pale, and since he had been sleeping, he needed to have a cigarrette to his skin once more. Nami woke him up and gave him the treatment once more. Hopefully, Sunset had bought enough cigarrettes to last them till they get to a Clinic.
"I swear, Sunset, if you die, then I'm gonna kick your dead head for being so stupid and not turning back when you were injured!" Nami scolded Sunset, wagging her finger in his face.
Sunset laughed. It was almost funny. Underneath all that anger and mysteriousness, Nami could have almost cared for him.
"W-Well, we'd beter wake up the others and get going. Unless t-this cave goes all the way to the S-Summit, we're gonna have to climb again." Sunset alerted Nami. He looked at her, and saw her reaching into her bag, and pulling out a can with a cylinder tube on top, and....
"Nami, you wouldn't!" Sunset jumped, but he was too late. Her finger was on the trigger.
"Oh, yes I would!" She pulled the trigger on the foghorn, and there was a loud, low pitched, horn noise, and both Ehlonna and Gustafa sprung awake. "Time to wake up sleepyheads. We gotta climb after we eat." She looked at Sunset who had covered his ears, who now let go and started reaching in his bag for food.
"Anybody up for a meal?"

Alyson laid on her bed, deep in thought. Suddenly, without noticing, a young man walked in.
Black Heart Event
Alyson is startled by young man, "What are you doing," She asked. "Oh, well, umm, I wanted to see who the new person was," the young man said.
"Oh, you were at the church weren't you? Well, I'm Alyson, it's nice to meet you," Alyson replied. "I...I'm Cliff, I guess I'll see you around," and with that Cliff hurried off. What a shy young man, Alyson thought. She suddenly felt a strong urge to follow Cliff, but she didn't understand why. After all, she had just met the man.
Soon, Alyson was fast asleep, but she had dreams about Cliff. She didn't know why she felt a tug towards this man, like no other tug she felt before.

((Yes, you need your chosen spouse to see all four of your heart events, but if you decide to court another roleplayer's character, then each of you needs to see the other's heart events. You must wait 30 days in between heart events. Lol, Pedro you spelled Sunday as in a Banana Sundae. Now I'm hungry. Sunday, Spring 13th, Year 1.))
The Cave
Ehlonna was still trembling slightly from Nami's wake-up call. She wasn't used to such loud noises. Nami obviously didn't realize that Ehlonna was terribly frightened of loud or bustling "civilization type" things. They packed up their things and hurried to continue their climb in the dark. It was about 3:00am and if they moved quickly, they would reach the peak of the mountain just as the sun came up. Gustafa saw that Ehlonna was still shaky and that her glow was dimmer and flickering. He walked beside her and held her hand.
"It's alright... Nami didn't realize that you're not used to those things." Gustafa said gently in that familiar, calming tone that he always had. Ehlonna took a deep breath and nodded.
"Thank you." she replied simply. Ehlonna didn't feel shy around Gustafa or the others, especially while she was surrounded by the nature she loved so dearly, she was just naturally a quiet, reflective person. If she had something to say, she would say it, but if not she was perfectly content with silence. As the time got nearer and nearer to dawn, a shout from ahead of them caught their attention.
"Guys! Get over here! Sunset's collapsed!" Nami shouted, her steady voice slightly altered with... fear? Panic? Worry? Ehlonna didn't know. She immediately rushed to help Nami drag him up off the ground. "Sunset, you moron! I told you to go back but you just had to be an idiot and die on me!" Nami snapped, but her blue eyes were glistening with moisture which went unnoticed by Ehlonna and Gustafa. "Maybe there's something that can heal him at the top of this mountain... that crystal might have strange powers."
"We have to hurry, though. The sun's about to rise and we're still a little way away. If we miss it, I don't think he can hold on until we can get back to Bakersville." Gustafa observed. Nami's face seemed to pale slightly, but she nodded keeping her cool.
"Okay, I'll run him up there and you two follow." she ordered, slinging Sunset over her shoulders with unexpected strength and bounding to the peak as fast as she could with Ehlonna and Gustafa trailing behind. "We're losing him!" Nami shouted over her shoulder. "Ehlonna, sing something! Anything!" she instructed. Without hesitation, Ehlonna obliged.
"No one's in doubt that the childrn singing..." Ehlonna began, her voice melting into all of the surroundings. It seemed to keep Sunset alive... barely.
"Almost there..." Nami panted. "Sunset, if you die, I'll kick your skinny carcass from here to Waffle Town!" she threatened, her voice muffled by something that Ehlonna could not decipher.

((Sunday, Spring 13th, year one)) After her strange encounter with Cliff, and her strange dreams, Alyson began to wonder about the young man. But, in order to keep her mind off of him, she went to see how her restaurant was coming.
"Wow, when do you imagine it will be done," she asked Gotz. He said in about a day. She was so excited. But she needed to earn some money, so she headed to the mines in Forget-me-not Valley. She mined for about four hours, and found many rare jewels.
After Alyson shipped the jewels, she went to the inn for lunch. She couldn't wait until she opened her restaurant, and people could come and eat there. Not that Joseph was a bad cook, but she knew that people would love the dishes she would fix.

((Spring 12th.))
~Lily's home~
Lily returned home continuing to try and control her emotions but once again they wouldnt stop.
"Why would he leave? I have been nice havent I?" Lily asked herself shaking the idea from her mind, she had to have been nice she always is. I need to get out of here, just get out the the town till dawn. Lily thought grabbing her jacket and some money before heading out of her house and the town.
"I will return later." Lily said blowing a kiss to the overview of the town. Who was the kiss to? Lily really didnt know. Was it to River where-ever he was? Was it to Kevin, Sunset and Ehlonna her friends who nursed her from her coma? Was it to Joesph, the inn keeper who was very kind? Or was it just to the whole village itself, to everyone and everything it contained?
