It was a cold night. Grandpa was snuggled in his bed, coughing a little. "Where's my special grandson?" He asked, looking for the youngest of the family. To his grandson's older sister, she received his car; to his grandson's parents, his house.

"I'm here grandpa." The grandson says while appearing for his grandpa. "You wanted to see me?" (I hope I did this right. Not really sure what this is all about but eh.)

"Yes." Grandpa replied, holding out an envelope. "In here is a message. Don't open it until you feel as though you need something more in life, okay?"

"Yes grandpa." The grandson(whatever his name is) nods while taking the envelope. "But...why give this to me?"

"It's the only thing of mine I trust with you. Now, let grandpa rest..." Grandpa said, his breathing slowing down as he decided to go to sleep.
A few years later, during work, hte grandson's boss was inspecting his employees' work stations. He stopped by the grandson's workstation, making sure everything was clean and in order. "Your cubicle seems clean. You pass, today." The boss said, before walking to the next employee's cubicle. (you can name the grandson whatever you want to name him)

(Alright thank you) The grandson, named Isaac, sighed out and sat down on his chair. "God this is dull." He thinks to himself bitterly. He thought about the envelope that his grandpa gave him and thought about it a bit. "Well...I hope you're right grandpa, cause I'm gonna need something new than...this." He thinks to himself before opening a drawer and pulling out the envelope he got years ago and started to open it carefully. (Opening magic in a dull office building, good things are going to happen right? )

"Dear Isaac," the letter began, "I told you so. Now, listen carefully. In the envelope is a bus ticket - it never expires and is a one way ticket. If you take the bus, you'll find yourself in grandpa's home town. It's a nice, quaint community. If you go there, you'll find that life will, eventually, return back to you. Have fun, and take care." Along with the envelope was the deed to a house and some land.

"Well...he was right." Isaac mentally chuckles before checking the deed and the bus ticket and re-reading the letter before getting up, packing his things and leaving. (Time skip? Or does my character have to deal with his boss and then says 'I quit this boring dull job ass hole'?)

(We can skp ahead) The bus ride was long. The town was far out in the country, far away from Isaac's old job. There were mountains and forests, streams that lead to oceans. The bus passed a sign that said "Drayton's Valley - Twelve miles".

"Drayton Valley? I think grandpa talked about it before..." Isaac thinks to himself, continuing to look outside from his seat and lost in his own thoughts since he doesn't really have anything to do right now. "The letter said that I would go back to living normally...but it sounds strange how it started with 'I told you so'...sure it's grandpa and he can be silly sometimes and point out things before they happen sometimes but still..." He thinks to himself before taking a deep breath. "God I'm lonely." He mentally groans, hating the part where he mainly talks to himself because he's either board, stuck in thought, or because he's lonely.

After a while, the bus arrived at the last bus station, the only station in Drayton's Valley. Outside the bus, a young girl awaited Isaac to step off of the bus. She had bright blonde hair and equally bright golden eyes.

Isaac got up, grabbed his bag and stepped out of the bus. "Hello." Isaac says to the very golden girl. "Um...are you waiting for someone?" (Also what's this characters appearance? I completely forgot to either do that and or you tell me)

(All up to you, mate.) "Waiting on you! You are Isaac, right? Grandpa Dale said you'd be arriving today." The girl said. "Grandpa Dale - that's my pa's pa - is the mayor of the town, but everyone calls him Grandpa Dale."

"Well...glad to hear that." He says with a nod. "So...where to first?" He asks, checking over himself and finding himself feeling a little bit out of place with the girls golden hair and even golder eyes while he just had simple black hair and dark green eyes. He was wearing a simple blue t-shirt and blue jeans that he decided to wear after he went home and changed out of his work attire.

"Follow me!" The girl said, leading Isaac to the nearby land he would receive.

"Okay." Isaac nods while following the little girl. "So...mind if I ask how you knew I was going to be hear? Or did my grandpa tell someone?" He asks honestly, wondering why some random golden girl just told him she was waiting for him.

The young girl, who was around sixteen, led Isaac to the farm nearby. "Welcome to your farm! I think Grandpa Dale said it was called the Barrow Farm. Grandpa Dale said he knew your grandpa, somethin' like that."

"Wow..." Isaac says in surprise. "That's something...and glad to hear my grandpa knew someone here." (How old is Isaac?)

(twenty-three, I guess.) "Olivia, don't confuse our friend with history!" Mayor Dale arrived, using a walking stick as a cane. "Welcome, friend, to Drayton's Valley! I trust you're here to take control of your Grandpa's Old farm?"

Post by xinrick on Apr 10, 2016 13:44:07 GMT -6
(Alright then) "Well I didn't even know my grandpa owned a farm to begin with." Isaac says with a sheepish chuckle. "But I suppose so Mayor, just got here so I may need some help getting used to everything." He says sheepishly.

"Well, everything you'll need is inside." Mayor Dale said, smiling. He had a gold tooth. "There's a crate of the tools you'll need, along with some seeds to start out."

"Alright then." Isaac nods. "But...does everyone have something gold related? Cause you have a golden tooth and Olivia has golden hair and eyes." He says honestly. "But thank you, I'll make sure to keep everything find and make sure I know everything." (Is this Stardew Valley?)

(... maybe ...) "Not a problem! Now, if you'll excuse me, I must be off." Dale said, before swaggering off back to his home.

(Okay ) "Alright then." Isaac nods before breathing in the fresh air and heading off to his new home.

There was a not on the front door, informing Isaac that the furniture inside had been replaced and everything was neat and clean.

Isaac took the note off the front door and glad to see that the house was nice and clean before opening the door to see his new home.

Inside was a table, a bed, a TV, and a fireplace. Everything was well kept, as if someone had come in and made sure everything was kept clean when no one lived there.

"Well looks pretty well kept." He says to himself while walking over to the table and putting his stuff down and sitting down on the bed. "Well I better go to town and see what else there is. And I better figure out what I'm going to do here as well since I can't just sit around doing nothing." Isaac thinks to himself before getting up again and opening the door and closing it behind him before heading off to town.

When he got to Drayton Square, Isaac found there were several people out and about. Among them was a young woman, hair put in a bun, in running clothes, stretching.

"Uh...hello?" Isaac says to the lady in running clothes, hoping to at least talk to someone around here. "Let's hope I can be social to someone." He thinks to himself, practically being alone most of his life not helping with his 'social skills'.
