hindley let the rings descend upon her character. she loaded into the city of dun loireag, the root town of the theta server. all around her was mist, and it was bright and sunny, as opposed to the constant lull of twilight that hung over mac anu. hindley could tell she'd be coming to this server more often. she stepped away from the gate and walked along the wooden bridges until she reached the grunt farm, as indicated on her map.
"hello?" she spoke, not nearly as loud as she should have been. hindley was not one to shout. she only hoped someone would take notice of her.

An old man exited the farm house that Hindley had approached. He walked slowly, half bent over with one hand on his hip and the other using a cane to help him walk. It was Farmer Grunt and he wore a white shirt with blue overalls and black boots, his face and head covered in white shaggy hair. Coming to the edge of the porch, he stopped, removed the pipe from his mouth and eyed the young girl. A few seconds later, his face broke out in a large smile.
"Why hello there little missy! What can old Farmer Grunt do for ya?" |

"farmer grunt, is it? i am interested in a grunty, for the event." she blinked and looked around for a moment. she didn't know if someone would laugh at her for her next question.
"but... sir, if i may... what exactly is a grunty?"

"Of course! The event! You're allowed only one Grunty, miss." He gestured to his left with the hand that held the pipe. There was a fenced in area with multiple baby Grunties waddling around.
"A Grunty? You don't know what grunties are? Why, they are cute little pig-like creatures that come in many different colors. You feed them and take care of them and they grow. If you do well enough, they'll become adults and you can ride them!"
Farmer Grunt stuck the pipe back into his mouth and started hobbling towards the fenced area. He gestured for her to follow him as he slowly made his way. Once there, he gestured once more with his pipe hand.
"I have many Grunties of many colors. All except Cyan, Silver and Gold. Those are them rare ones, I don't have those. So pick any you like, any single Grunty." Nodding to himself, Farmer Grunt stared idly at the Grunties that waddled to and fro, waiting for Hindley to further the conversation or end it. |

hindley smiled and turned to farmer grunt. "i'll take a blue one, please."

"Why that would be just splendid!" His expression became joyful once more. "One moment."
The farmer bent over the wooden fence and picked up a Grunty that just so happened to be a blue one, just like what Hindley wanted. Turning slowly, the NPC handed the Baby Grunty to her.
"Now, it's just a baby, so it'll require extra loving and you'll have to carry it with you as the little tyke is incapable of following you." Farmer Grunt patted the Grunty's head then turned around slowly before making his way back to the porch, where he'd sit in his rocking chair if Hindley decides to not interact with him anymore. |

when he did, she stared at the little creature in his arms. she tilted her head, and the little grunty mimicked. "it's cute." it was a simple statement, more of an observation than anything. she had her doubts about having one of the creatures for herself, but once she looked at the one to call her own... those doubts melted away. she smiled at it, but her smile was replaced with shock when the grunty was placed in her arms. hindley now had to juggle her staff and a grunty in her arms at the same time.
"thank you sir." she said softly as she turned to walk away, her baby grunty hooked under one arm and her staff in the other. she had to raise it now... now hindley wanted to see what it would look like as it got older.
from this point on, this thread will be of hindley purchasing grunty mints. ♥ no more npc interation, please!
