[Thors is coming inside after a nice long day on the Kent Farm. It's his birthday, but to be honest, he barely even remembers. He wipes the sweat off his brow and heads to the pump. After a drink, he opens his journal and starts flipping through, catching up with what's been said during the day. After a bit, he dictates.]

I missed this.

Missed what? Playing the real-life version of Harvest Moon?

That isn't really a yes or no question.

But yes, I missed the hard work, living on a farm.

You must have lived an awfully boring life.

[quiet laugh]

More or less. I liked it just fine that way.

If it was anything like this, I could live without it.

Well, it snowed for much of the year, and the sheep were much more malleable than the cattle here. But it was good, calming work. You got used to it.

We have a sheep on this farm. We're... not doing much with it, actually.

[needsnoblade.livejournal.com]

Apparently the sheep don't bring in much around here. You could probably just continue to leave it be.

[darkevangel.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to do anything with them regardless.

[another small laugh]

What job have you been assigned?

[darkevangel.livejournal.com]

I have to... go to school.

[needsnoblade.livejournal.com]

Well, that's not so bad--

[remembers that she's like half a century old]

Well.

[darkevangel.livejournal.com]

It is.

[needsnoblade.livejournal.com]

Well.

The alternative is spending all day on your farm?
