Parsnips, and Parsnips, and More Parsnips, oh my!


The bell rings at Pierre's General Store and the owner looks up to see a new face entering, scanning the shelves briefly. She's covered in dust, a watering can hanging loosely from her belt hoop, blonde hair tied up high into a tight braided ponytail. She walks over to the counter. "Do you have any crops other than parsnips?"

"Other than parsnips?" Pierre repeats.

The farmer nods. "Y'see, Lewis only gave me parsnips, which, is nice and all, but how is someone supposed to get a dilapidated farm up and running only on parsnips? I'm going to need something else if I'm to make money to buy, like a coop or something."

"Would you like a one-time crop or a multi-harvest?"

She ponders this for a second. "Multi-harvest sounds nice. I'll get the most out of the season."

"We have hot peppers and green beans for right now."

The blonde smiles. "Green beans sound wonderful! I'll take five. Oh, imagine green beans with onions and butter. Ugh, but I'll need a cow before I even think about butter. Where do you even get a cow?"

While Pierre gathers up her green beans, he chuckles at the speed at which her brain is working. He puts them in a bag for her and she hands him some gold. "Thank you so much. I'm Diane, by the way, new neighbor, over on the farm." She extends her hand for a handshake but then takes it back, grimacing at the sight of the dirt on it. "Oh, Yoba, no. I'm sorry, I'm such a mess."

Pierre smiles, settling for a wave as she backs away from the counter, momentarily eyeing the backpack he has sitting front and center. "Please come back anytime, Diane. We have all the crops you could need."

She flashes him a thumbs-up before slipping out the door.
