                                                      Hello hello! Greetings! Hi!

                                                      If you are reading this letter, then CONGRATULATIONS! You've been specially chosen to work and live in the wonderful Bellflower Village! Word is that you've got a bit of experience living in rural communities, so you'd be just perfect for life in Bellflower Village.

                                                      I know what you're thinking. 'Bellflower Village? What a cute name for a probably equally cute town!' and you're RIGHT!! Bellfower Village is cute. It has everything you could ever need! It's right on the ocean, it's surrounded by beautiful forests and sprawling fields...There is literally absolutely nothing wrong with Bellflower Village.

                                                      ...Unless you count the fact it's falling apart.

                                                      PLEASE DON'T THROW AWAY THIS LETTER YET, KEEP READING!!!

                                                      I haven't lost hope in Bellflower yet, so neither should you! Once, many years ago, this town was prosperous. Like, I'm talking people lived in it and everything. The fields were full of crops, the village center was bustling, festivals were held...It was beautiful. But then, everyone left. Now the town is empty. Buildings are falling apart, fields are full of weeds, roads need repaving...

                                                      But I know Bellflower Village can be that wonderful again. I just need help. Your help. You've got experience living in farm towns, you know what its like...So please, help me out. Spread your wings a little, learn to fly, and help make this place great again.

                                                      Sincerely,
                                                      The Mayor of Bellflower Village

                                                      Regular Rules
                                                            Please follow all Gaia rules!

                                                            This will be semi-lit to lazy-lit. I care more about quality than quantity. I would like at least two paragraphs per post.

                                                            Please be active. Try to inform me when you will be leaving. If you are gone for four days without warning me ahead of time, I will send you a warning. If you don't respond to that warning in three days, I will remove you from the RP

                                                            Please reserve spots before you send in a profile. You will need to send me THREE different things when you send a reserve: Send me which protagonist is your parent (Mineral Town girl, Echo Town boy, etc), which character is your other parent (Kai, Popuri, etc), and which job you'd like.

                                                            After you submit a reserve, you have three days to complete the profile. You are TOTALLY welcomed to ask me for an extension if you need it! But let me know, please. If you don't respond to my PM asking you were the profile is, I will no longer save the spot for you.

                                                            For now, you may have two characters. I will raise this if we struggle to get people to join.

                                                            Please ask me if you have any questions! I don't bite, and no question is a bad one. I'm here to help, in whatever way I can! If you need a reminder of which marriage candidates are available in each town, or which town is in which game, I am HAPPY to help!

                                                            If you are comfortable doing so, I'd love it if you were active in the OOC. These sorts of RPs tend to be really laid back, so I'd love to plot with everyone, and see what sorts of things they want to happen in the RP! Everyone gets a voice!


                                                      Character Rules
                                                            Until all the spots are taken, all the characters are children of the original Harvest Moon protagonists, and a marriage candidate of your choosing. I will allow unrelated characters in once the spots are taken.

                                                            Your character does NOT have to resemble their parents. You can say they were adopted, or they take after the unseen grandparents on the protagonist's side. Whatever you want.

                                                            Your character does NOT have to choose a job similar to their parents. A child from Castanet Town, with Toby for a father, does not have to be a fisherman.

                                                            I know that in some games, the child of the protagonist has a set gender. For the sake of the RP, we're going to ignore that. Your character can be any gender, regardless of which town they are from.

                                                            All characters from the same town are cousins. In this RP the protagonists are siblings, if they are from the same town! For example, the protagonist of Friends of Mineral Town, and More Friends of Mineral Town, in this setting, are brother and sister, making their kids cousins. Your character grew up with their cousins on the farm!

                                                            We're going to use our imagination and say all the games took place at around the same time. Your character should be between 20-30.

                                                            I'm aware that certain games allow you to have more than one child. We'll ignore that for now, so we don't have to plan around each other too much. Your character is an only child.


                                                      Parent Rules
                                                            Your other parent, besides the protagonist, MUST be one of the marriage candidates.

                                                            Your other parent MUST be from your protagonist parent's town. So for example, don't choose a Mineral Town protagonist parent, then choose a marriage candidate from Oak Tree Town.

                                                            Please do NOT choose your marriage candidate parent out of the 'magic' candidates. So no Harvest Goddess, Witch Princess, Kappa, etc. I'm really sorry, but otherwise it's a bit too unfair to others, as your character could potentially have access to magic.

                                                            If you are choosing to be from Bluebell, please do not choose Alisa. I would like to respect her wish to not have children!

                                                              The Train Station stops just before a dense forest. All travelers hoping to enter Bellflower Village must then make the remainder of the journey on foot. A faded sign, swinging slightly in the breeze as it desperately clings to it post, points towards a narrow dirt road which leads into the forest.

                                                              Following the dirt path will lead you through a forest. The path continues straight for awhile, until it suddenly branches into three parts. Following the middle path will take you out towards the farmlands, where the main village lays beyond. The path on the right takes you into even deeper wilderness, where you can find the carpenter's shop. The path to the left takes you down a winding road, where eventually you'll happen upon a mine, and the blacksmith's place.

                                                              Carpenter's Shop
                                                              The Carpenter's Shop sits in a dense pocket of trees. It's wise to come here if you need any repairs or expansions done to your home. With the village in the state it's in...there are quite a few things that need to be fixed up.

                                                              The town's blacksmith can help with crafting tools, or other useful items for the village's citizens. Many townspeople will probably be paying them a visit. Without tools, how can the town be repaired?

There is plenty of green grass for cattle to graze on, and beautiful fields full of crops. Continuing to follow the dirt path will lead you over a hill, and finally into the town center.

                                                              Farm
                                                              Maintaining a town is impossible without a steady source of food. The farmer grows crops to sell to the villagers, and occasionally ship out of town for extra cash. Whoever owns the farm can expect to spend lots of time out in the fields raising plants.

Here is where most of the homes and shops in Bellflower Village are located. The town sits right on the beach, and all buildings face out towards the ocean. Most of the stores sit on the same main road, and following this road to the end leads to the town square, where most of the festivals are held.

                                                              Given how far away the village is from the rest of the world, most people may turn to books for their entertainment. Most of the books in the library have been sitting in one place since before the town was abandoned.

One day, people may come to visit...At the very least, it allows villagers someplace to stay during any emergency home repairs.

The restaurant was once a popular hangout for locals. Maybe once a few holes in the ceiling get patched up, it can be again.

                                                              Clothing gets damaged, especially when you spend all day on a farm, or repairing buildings. Villagers can come to the clothing store to get clothing repaired, or purchase new ones. They can also buy lovely jewelry handmade by the town jeweler.

                                                              Many townspeople rely on fish for food, and it's lucky that the beautiful ocean the town is built on is full of fish. Villagers can come to the fishery to purchase fish themselves, or fishing supplies.

If you choose to make one, you are free to design it as you see fit, or copy one of my layouts.

                      We are now officially open for posting! I know our numbers are small at the moment, but I'm hoping more will join as we keep going!

                      The villagers have been in town for about three weeks, and it is currently about 10AM. Read the Calendar page for more information on the date and weather!
