I was ready for my new life, I bid my friends goodbye and headed to the ship. I had sign in the
Passenger log first though, Chelsea Foxx, Female, Born on fall 12th, 19 years old. Once I got to my room, I dozed off. I was woken by the crackling of the intercom. I was still half asleep but I could tell by the tone of the voice it wasn't good. I hurried out just to get thrown off by the thrashing boat. I saw some flashed of pink get thrown off as well, ugh I hate that color. Everything started going black…
I knew I was dreaming when I saw people with pink hair walking around. Apparently I wasn't.
"Hey, she's awake!" I heard an old man say. He was bald, but his mustache was white so at least someone else here was normal. He introduced me to Felicia, his daughter and his grandchildren, Elliot and Natalie. Felicia was nice, Natalie seemed moody, and Elliot was the only boy besides the old man but he had pink hair and glasses. What a noob.
"And I'm the one and only, former rancher, Taro!" said the old man. He looked really expectant so I acted as if I had actually heard of him.
"Haha of course, I've had eggs from your farm before." So it wasn't honest but that made him happy so I didn't feel guilty. We decided to see if there was any civilization so we split up to look. I instantly saw a dozen abandoned buildings but kept looking. I hopped over a bank and searched in what appeared to be a collection of old abandoned shops. I saw a forest and ran over to it. I stopped when I realized there was a river but it was too late, I fell in and bumped my head on a jagged rock. I passed out yet again, today just kept getting better and better.
I eventually came back, and someone was peering at me curiously. I had found civilization! He was young, probably around my age, his hair was a muddy red, his eyes a deep brown, and his tanned skin was covered in orange markings. I was freaked out, I got up and ran. Taro had apparently been looking for me, and took me to a secluded umm, was it a field? I guess but it was covered in stumps, rocks, and weeds. He appointed me as the islands farmer, and I didn't really get any say in it, like, at all. He told me to get some rest, that I had a big day tomorrow. He gave me a rucksack that weighed a ton and was off. I went to bed.
The next morning, I woke to a knock at the door. What time was it? Oh, 6a.m. great. I opened the door to a Chinese man and a boy who looked around 8 years old.
"Hello, I'm Chen and this is my son/apprentice Charlie. We heard about this Island wanting to start out and all and decided to set up a store here! We will sell seeds! We can even sell you a larger backpack!"
I obviously was expected to be happy so I put on my best happy face and welcomed him. Then his son started twitching and acting like he wanted to kill someone.
"HEY! You never even told her what I can do!" Charlie screamed
"Oh really? Why don't you tell me?" I said way nicer than this brat deserved.
He quickly started smiling again. "Give me orchilac or wonderful and I can upgrade your TOOLS!"
My tools. Oh great cause I totally want to waste time and money on those.
"And I can make accessories!" I instantly liked him more. After all, my things had gone down in the boat and now
someone had came who could make me some.
"Really? That would be great! Thanks guys!" They left and I went to work. I got my stupid tools and some seeds
and planted turnips and cleared out my so-called field. I fell into bed that night, exhausted and hungry, realizing that there was no place to get food. Sure, Chen sells oil and curry powder but what could I cook it with? My non-existent oven? I would have to scavenge for freakin' herbs. HERBS people. Who lives off of herbs? Noobs that's who and I was intent on changing that.
