DO

I

KNOW

YOU?

Welcome to Pumpkin Hollow's first Monthly Meme! This month's edition is "Do I Know You From Somewhere?", a Handwaved-CR meme!

Participation is optional and very simple: just follow the steps below to get rolling!

1) Post a top-level from your character's account, detailing the places that they're most likely to frequent. The library, the shops, your character's workplace, the seaside - you name it, there's probably someone who passes through there!

2) Check out your fellow Pumpkin Hollowite's posts, and see where they pass through. If you feel like you'd pass by there, drop a reply on there detailing how they very briefly cross paths! Are the feelings positive, like someone who you don't know, but would miss if they disappeared? Is it negative, like that one guy who keeps shoulder-checking you at work? Maybe it's as neutral as it gets. The world is your oyster!

3) Profit. You and your fellow islanders have developed a relationship, even if extremely surface-level! Now you can go into prompts with a vague familiarity and a distinct lack of that "I've never seen this person in my life" awkwardness.

Now go get some lovely new acquaintances, and have fun!

Eddie Kaspbrak

You want to know something hilarious? When I originally contemplated adding Chris to the setting, I figured that they'd be the cryptid just off doing their own weird thing.

And now I realize that it's Eddie -- he just stays on his farm most days and does his (decidedly less weird) own things.

1. Eddie is pretty much always on his farm. He used some of First Aid's investment to make sure the greenhouse is larger than normal. The general upgrade allowed him to hire two part-time farmhands to assist in the non-specialized farming (and sometimes the milking of Greta Goat, since it will be a cold day in hell before Angel gets to do that). (I feel like Eddie initially intended her name to just be "Greta" but she's become Greta Goat.) Despite all the busy bustle on E. Kaspbrak Farm, all friends are welcome to visit!

2. Eddie still has lessons with River on the Green, so if you feel like watching him slowly getting his ass kicked less and less...

3. Library buddies? Eddie does a lot of reading on farming techniques (because duh) but he's also finding the fictional offerings of this new world entertaining. Feel like discussing books with him?

4. Someone may be eyeing the pennyfarthing bicycles on offer for the express purpose of figuring out a way to convert this fore-wheel driven thing into a rear-wheel driven bicycle as he's more familiar with...

I haven't had time to actually write the thread (and idk how interested you are in just rping out a bunch of small talk) but First Aid would definitely come by to check on the farm, maybe once a week? And he could help with heavy lifting, treat the small injuries people typically get from doing farm work, that sort of thing. He likes Eddie, and he'd be excited to see the farm grow <3

When you have a thread idea, we can just note in the narration that First Aid comes by at least once a week. I'll have Eddie greet him like it's not the first time he's visited to see farm progress, et cetera. <3
