Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kenny stepped onto the fields with his pruning cutters. "I'm going to harvest all of these Cantaloupes!" He exclaimed to himself, snipping a few times with the cutters like some sort of maniac killer. With that he charged down the field, cutting up cantaloupe vines up and down the fields as fast as he could. Snip, snip, snip, snip, snip! Finally he had finished snipping cantaloupe vines.. Now it was time to go get a basket to carry them back to the farmhouse shipping box? Mister Alecksey never told him WHERE to put the fruit.. No matter!

Kenneth took off as fast as he could for the farm house, Not even stopping to say hello to anyone he grabbed a basket that could be carried on his back and charged back down to the cantaloupes. He was sweating profusely as the work started catching up to him. "No no, I can do this and I can do this quick! It had been about an hour since he started, time sure moves fast when your working.

He picked one of the cantaloupe's up and tossed it into his 'Backsket' slowly but surely he continued working his way down the field until he could carry no more. At this point he was walking like a sumo wrestler preparing to fight. Stomp......stomp.....stomp...stomp.... Slowly up the path. It took him about half an hour to make it back to the farmhouse and by the time he did his legs were wobbly and his face was extremely red with the strain of the cantaloupes on his back. This left him one matter to attend to and he didn't know where so he would just call.

"Mister Alecksey~ Mister Alecksey~ You never told me... ngh.. where to put the fruit once I've p...picked it!" Kenny yelled out, Then he decided it was best to put the basket down so he lobbed it around and put it gently on the ground he only had about fifteen cantaloupes in there... That meant there were a lot more to get. Kenny's shirt was soaked with sweat and dirt.

He jumped at Alecksey appearing behind him but Kenny listened anyways, afterwards Kenny knew exactly what he had to do, He'd already impressed his boss and now it was time to impress the ladies. No.. No it was time to work hard without a shirt and hope a lady would walk by and compliment him on his strong broad shoulders! NO NO It was time to work. Work was most important right now. "Thank you Mister Alecksey, I'll get back to work now then. Kenny took his shirt off and bolted straight down the path right after grabbing up another 'back'sket. Straight for where the kiwi's where growing.

Once down to a row of Kiwi's he looked at all the trees. "I'm going to farm these things like they've never been farmed before. Kenny said aloud to himself. He sprinted to the first tree, Twisting and pulling the first kiwi he checked to see if it was any good. Yep. Tossing it into the basket on his back he continued doing this through each tree for a few hours before bringing a basket full of Kiwi's back to the porch. He unstrapped his basket and started placing the kiwi's in the kiwi box until it was full and put the rest in the shipping box.

Time for a breather. Kenny thought to himself taking a seat on the porch of the fruit farm, reaching for his discarded vest forgetting the rule of thumb but being far enough away from any fruit he grabbed a cigarette from the front pocket along with his lighter. Lighting it and puffing on it, inhaling and exhaling, until it had burned all the way to the butt. He scraped the fireball off of his shoe and put the butt in his pocket and got back to work.

Everything was going great! Plucking oranges, yanking banana bunches down, tugging tangerines, and taking cherries from their trees. All was great until he got to the pineapples. He stared the pineapples down and thought to himself aloud. "You are spikey... but I have to pull you off the tree.... which looks like it would be painful...." Kenny stared at them for what seemed like hours but had only been minutes. ".......I've got nothing. Guess I'll just do it." Kenny was wearing leather gloves so it should be fine. He took his time with each pineapple, carefully pulling them down and putting them in the basket. He went on for an hour before he filled the basket and carried it back up to the house to carefully pick up and place each pineapple into it's respective bin just as carefully. After he knew his work had been done, that each bin was full he looked up at the sky. The sun had been starting to set. It had been a long 'fruitful' day.

He now sat down on the front porch again lighting a cigarette and puffing on it a few times. Just staring out at the fields watching the sun waiting to see if Mister Alecksey would pop up again like he had earlier. Kenny was tired and ready to go to sleep but the sweat had finally dried up. He put his shirt and vest back on and sat for a moment thinking on whether or not he should leave and talk to Mister Alecksey tomorrow.

Kenny smiled at the sandwich and orange juice. GOD was he hungry! He took it and pretty much began to destroy it before Mister Alecksey had begun his next sentance. "Mmff...Thisis...really good..marf..." Kenny said takign another bite out of the awesome sandwich and drinking some of the orange juice which was also fantastic!

At the note of payment Kenny perked up. "Sounds good to me Mister Alecksey, Whatever works for you. I'll be sure to do part time work from now on. Sorry, I got a little carried away heh." Kenny wiped his lips of bread crumbs and finished the orange juice slowly handing the glass back. "Thank you for the dinner, It was really good. Anyways I'll be seeing you tomorrow I have to go get myself an apartment so I can stop sleeping on the bench in the streets. Pa-ka Mister Alecksey!" Kenny said happily as he stood and headed slowly and painfully down the path ,waving the whole time with a big smile on his face, out of the fruit farm. It had been a long and rewarding day indeed.
