Murren's farmhouse came with Barefoot Farms. It's an old, slightly creepy house that looks nearly falling down on the outside, but has been renovated to a cozy living space inside. Set on the farm, a short walking distance from the barns and fields, the house still manages to maintain a sort of rustic charm--despite that it looks as if it's probably haunted. As of now, Murren lives there alone but, well, it's not like she's opposed to taking in a few housemates if people are willing to pay rent. There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen with a separate dining room, a family room, den and small office/study. There is also a full cellar, small attic, mud room, and a winding stair that leads to the cupola. It looks much bigger on the outside than it really is, as the interior rooms are fairly small.

She almost gasped in horror as she came to the quaint farmhouse of her next follower. Chrysanthemum stilled the restless snowy owls outside the home, setting a hand to her face as she fluttered inside and winced. It was like entering the home of those generic, dull, and disgustingly content farmers from those years ago. Certainly, they were enjoyable due to their appreciation of the crops they obtained, but.. but it didn't change they were so poor! Chrysanthemum couldn't have gotten someone like that, not when they were more suited for that dunce Lily or freakish Carnation! She wrinkled her nose as she sought out the bedroom of Murren, feeling cramped even if the small room certainly was many times her size considering she was only 5.2 inches tall, but.. but still! She shook her head at the sleeping blonde and sighed – well. She dove into her pocket and dropped the change she found there – nickels, dimes, and quarters that expanded instantly as they clattered to the floor into a more normal size. Perhaps the girl would appreciate the tip and find a way to really profit from the land to earn more like them. Who knows? Chrysanthemum left to her sleigh to continue on with her list, feeling more than a little exhausted by the disappointments.

 It was the eve of his wedding, but Dodge wasn't doing any sort of preparation for it. He didn't know what he was going to wear and he wasn't entirely sure where the wedding was even being held at this point. He had realized at the last minute that there was an important piece of the wedding missing, and he had gone on a mission to find that piece. Okay, so technically there were two pieces missing, but one of them had left the island for personal reasons and probably wasn't coming back. Though it had been a little difficult, he trudged on. He was about to have two wives, not to mention the children. This all came upon seemingly out of nowhere, and he would rather go off on his own errands then confront his new life. It had taken some time to locate Murren with her house being so far out. Thankfully, he found some people around town to point him in the right direction and here he was. The smells of the farm were all too familiar, and he didn't particularly like it. It felt too much like home. That was something he didn't want to remember, especially not right now. He couldn't quite remember Murren mentioning that she lived on a farm, but it had been quite some time since they spoke. Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door.

After a long, long pause, the door to Murren's house flew open, revealing a tiny woman wrapped in an enormous yellow towel, with another towel draped over her head. She squinted out at the person on her porch with one eye, rubbing at the other with the end of the towel on her head. "Wot der yer wan'?" she asked, wondering who in the hell this bloke was. "Ah got soap in mah eye tryin' ter get out o' th' shower an' get ter th' door so this'd better be good." She finally managed to rub the stinging soap out of her eye and gave the fellow outside a long, hard look. He was sort of familiar in a 'I must've met 'im while drunk' sort of way. "Oh! Righ' yer Dodge, aren' yer?" she asked. "Sorry 'bout mah appear'nce. Spen' th' afternoon muckin' out th' barn an' Ah smelled righ' terrible. 'Ad ter shower fer nearly an hour ter get th' smell out. Wot can Ah do fer yer?"When she'd heard the knock at the door while in the shower, she'd sort of assumed it was some emergency--hence showing up in a towel. By the time she got to the end of her speech, she'd pretty much forgotten that she was standing there in a towel in the first place. She just stood there expectantly, waiting for Dodge to explain himself.

 On any other day, Dodge probably would've propositioned Murren to join him in the RV. Today, however, his mind was not on staring at her in that towel. No, he had actual business to do today. He was happy to hear that she remembered his name, that would probably make this experience a lot easier. "Tha's righ', ma'am." He nodded his head in response before allowing her to finish speaking. "No trouble at all, I'm the one botherin' ya at yer own home. Don' ya worry abou' apologizin' ter me." He remembered the days when he had to wash himself furiously to get the stank of the farm off, so it was nothing too shocking for him. "I came here ta ask ya if ya would do me the honor of being mah bes' man. Even if ya are a woman, yer really tha only person ah've talked too much, and I can' go ta mah own weddin' without' a bes' man." He was trying to hold himself together, but it was honestly kind of hard. The stress of everything was beginning to weigh on him, and he didn't really like that feeling. Would it be weird if he asked her for some alcohol and a nice place to sit? Nah, he was here to ask for a favor, you don't try to bust into someone's house when you need a favor.

Murren listened to Dodge, not quite sure she followed him. He wanted her to be his best man? Even though she was a woman? That was strange, wasn't it? Call her old fashioned, but she thought the best man should be, well, a man. Then again, he did look kind of stressed out and he'd said he didn't know anyone else. And she wasn't one to turn out someone who needed help, even if the situation was a little weird. "Well, do Ah 'ave ter wear a suit?" she asked, absently drying her hair. "Or can Ah wear a dress?"She didn't know if they'd really talked enough for it to be considered 'much' but still... "Och, well, Ah guess et doesn' matter. If'n yer need me ter be there, Ah'll be there. When is et?"

 Dodge smiled, a little too happily at Murren. He wanted to grab her up into his arms and thank her oh so very much, but he quickly remembered that she was in a towel. It probably wouldn't be good for him to be picking up some other lady on the eve of his wedding, especially if she was practically naked. He thought maybe a handshake would do, but she was busying her hands with her hair. Why was she making it so hard for him to touch her? Ah. That was not a very good thought. He was getting married. To two lovely women, he needed to cool his jets right now. "O' curse ya don' need ta wear a suit. I doub tha' ah'll be wearin' one." He laughed, bringing his hand to his stomach. "Ya can wear what'ere ya wan', darlin'. We ain' no fancy folk." What was he going to wear? He hadn't really thought about it before this point. He had just assumed that he'd find something, but he was kind of on the spot here. Oh gosh, he really needed to go. It was getting later and later and there was still so much to do. "Thank ya kindly, ma'am. I'm right glad ta know ya. It'd be embarrassin' ta no' have no one standin' thar 'side me while I'ma shakin' in ma boots." Oh when was it? Had he not mentioned that? Aww, shucks. "Is actually tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Murren asked, a little surprised about the short notice. Wow. He really left things to the last minute didn't he? "Well, Ah guess et's okay. Ah don' 'ave other plans or anythin'. Wot toime should Ah be there?" She had no idea what she'd wear but she had the rest of the afternoon to pick something out or go buy something. Still, best men usually wore tuxedos so maybe she should go with something black? Then again, Dodge said he wasn't going to wear a suit so maybe she should just wear her farm clothes or something. It would be kind of awkward to be the only one at all dressed up. Huh. Well, she'd have to give it some thought before she decided. At any rate, Dodge was still standing there all sheepish and normally she would invite him in but she was in a towel an--Holy hell she was standing there in a towel! ACK! "Ah, roight! Ah totally fergot Ah woz standin' 'ere 'alf undressed!" she said a little frantically. " Ah should...uh...go get some clothes on! Ah'll definitely be there tomorrow!" she told him, half cowering behind her hat stand. "Wot toime again?"

 Dodge was really glad that Murren was such a nice lady. He instantly knew that he had made a good choice in asking her to be his best man. Anyone who was willing to show up on such a short notice, was definitely someone that he had a lot of faith in. He was sure that she could probably talk him out of whatever insecurities he may have tomorrow. "I's gonna be startin' righ' aroun' 11, so ah guess righ' aroun' thar woul' be good." He nodded his head, eagerly. When she began to notice that she was unclothed, he felt instantly more nervous. He had kind of thought that she was just the type that didn't care, but now knowing that she didn't know made it feel like he had seen something that he really shouldn't have. "Ah'm sorry, bu' ah should prolly getter goin'. Ah'll see ya then." He nodded his head at her and turned to leave. He felt like he had really made a great decision. Yes, he was feeling good and he could go march home and get everything ready. There just wasn't enough time left before tomorrow morning.
[Exit Dodge]
