🧙 WHO: Belgium and everyone
⚔️️ WHAT: Events, day to day things, and a day at the market
🕒 WHEN: Entirety of March
🗺️ WHERE: Around Camelot
⚠️ WARNINGS: None for the moment

1 - The Quest for Sir Fuzzlerton the Cad

Of all the silly jobs that she could have taken up this is probably one of the silliest. But also, one of the most adorable, and perhaps one of the best she’s had since arriving last month. Find a specific rabbit by visiting the local Bunny Cafes, Bunny Cafes! She giggled at the thought, or maybe that was the whiskers of the bunny she was currently holding.

“Mm, I don’t see our cheating bunny in this.”

She said through a fit of giggles. They really best hurry up and find their guy. There was no way that Belgium was going to disappoint Mrs. Fuzzlerton!

2- It’s not much, but it’s honest farm work

Bunnies aside, this was more of what she had in mind when taking up some random, odd jobs to pad her purse. She wiped the sweat from her brow as she paused to break. Honestly Belgium had completely forgotten how difficult working the land could be! It was late afternoon by now and she was already covered in dirt and grime. Gross.

But a good sort of gross. “We’re almost done for the day.”

She said with a groan, stretching out. Boy could she use some water right about now.

3 – Hay is For Horses

The ride back to the inn was very much welcome. Already Belgium was eager to take a soak in their baths again. While at the same time enjoying the moment off her feet. Idly the woman let out a yawn while glancing back at their current load of hay. All in a day’s work!

“How much longer…” Another yawn. “Do you think it will take for us to get to the inn?”

4 – The Spoils of Work

When all was said and done Belgium celebrated by taking a trip to the markets. Not really buying much now; of course, she still had a bag in each arm. But the load was light this time around. Filled with ingredients to make some delicious meals. Next to her side was her faithful lion spirit, looking both bored and regal at the same time.

Belgium though, looked like she was searching for something. Help a girl out?

Maribelle was with the Hay Healers - but she also put in a decent amount of work with tools and fieldwork as well. She sighs, wiping away a bit of sweat - how terribly undignified!

"I imagine it won't be much further." Maribelle says quietly. "But if you need to close your eyes, don't fight it."

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea."

Being under the sun all day out in the open tended to wear down a person. Still, if she dozes off now she might not get a good night's rest! "I wonder what kind of food they'll have waiting for us when we arrive. I don't know about you, but I'm feeling awfully hungry."

And sweaty, and sticky....

Maribelle nodded in agreement. "There's nothing that quite stirs the appetite like a hard day's work."

Yet she couldn't help but frown. "... Though I do hope they don't use that as an excuse to serve anything less than their best."

"I'm sure whatever they serve us will be delicious." She hums in delight, stomach gurgling a little at the thought of a nice, hearty stew. Maybe with some delightful beer to wash it down with.

"What sort of food do you like?"

Had Belgium mentioned those foods, Maribelle might have gagged.

"I prefer light, sophisticated meals... a lady of my standing must strive to keep her figure. Along with a lovely spot of tea. That can brighten any mood."

But properly made stew is delicious, and beer goes great with it! Or, certain beers anyway. Some are better than others....

"Some tea does sound delicious right about now." She thinks for a moment, already putting a meal together in her head. "Maybe along with some roasted chicken and a hearty salad. Though after being under the sun all day, something cool to drink would be nice as well."

Something has to be hearty after working out in the fields all day long! Otherwise their bodies will probably end up hating them for a good, long while.

Maribelle tilted her head a bit, now curious about her partner.

"Are you a cook? Or cook for others in another way?" She had to admit, those things sounded really good...

"Oh yes! I'd hate to toot my own horn. But I'm quite the cook."

She looks super proud about that! "My neighbors might all be super flashy, and my brother good with money. But when it comes to cooking I've got them all beat!"

Maribelle nods in approval, maybe with a hint of a smile too. "Looks will fade, and there's no guarantee how long money will stay in your pocket. But the ability to cook? That never leaves, and thus should be well-respected!"

"Precisely, you can't underestimate having the skill to cook a meal!"

An edible preferably, some people can cook, but that doesn't always mean what they can cook is... well.... Anyway! The thought of food makes her stomach growl even louder than before! Oh no, were they there yet!?

"Excuse me." She giggles, a little embarrassed. "Perhaps a meal before a bath would be best."

Maribelle lets out a small, amused chuckle. Normally she would chide bad manners, but... well, they had worked a long day. "I would say so. But maybe until we get there, we should discuss other matters?"

"That might be for the best."

She rubbed her tummy a little, smiling. "I don't think I got your name."

"My apologies." A hand to her chest, a small head-bow. "My name is Maribelle."

"And I'm Belgium."

New friend, GET! She reaches a hand out for Maribelle to shake.

Which Maribelle takes and shake - perhaps the gesture is universal! "The pleasure is all mine."

Ah, yes! She shakes her hand in a fairly soft grip.

"My, and so polite!" She chuckles in return as well. "We should arrive soon enough."

[ Every now and then Crow comes out to help the farmers. Doing strenuous work helps to clear his mind, it's something that reminds him of home and also grounds him as a person. So he's always willing to assist when he can. However today he notices there's a new hand on the field, and she's pretty hardworking. So when he notices Belgium taking a much-needed break, he decides to offer her a cool bottle of water.]

Good work today.

[He's sipping at his drink of choice, a chill bottle of milk!]

Not many people are willing to help these people out. Did you use to work on a farm, too?

[Oh well hello there person! She gives him a grateful, cheery, and slightly tired smile in return. Taking the bottle of water and sipping on it. Now that's what she needed, that and some Gatorade. Unfortunately Gatorade isn't available here....]

Thanks, you too.

[She didn't see him, but was certain that he did fantastic work!]

Ah, yes I did for a while. Even if I didn't, well a little bit of farm work never hurts anyone.

It doesn't, but some people don't like to get their hands dirty!

[ If everyone did a bit of farm work, Crow believes the world would be a better place. However, he knows it's not for everyone. His bandmate, Yaiba, although strong couldn't quite keep up with him.]

I grew up on a farm, and I know how hard my parents worked, so I try to help these guys as much as I can.

[They can't pay very much, but Crow is willing to take whatever they can give or even do work free of charge.]

It's been a long day, but we can finally start wrapping up now.

That's true, but there are still more people who wouldn't mind at all.

[Farm work is nice, but she also didn't think it was for everyone either. It is really difficult work after all, even with machines!]

But yes, I think we're about done for the day.

I hope more and more people come, then!

[Crow finishes off his milk, before pocketing the bottle into his back pocket for disposal later. He starts gathering up the tools used for the fieldwork. All that's left is to clean up.]

You're a pretty strong lady. What did you do back home? Construction work?

I'm certain more will when work is being offered.

[Work is work after all! An opportunity to make a bit is always welcomed, she figured. For now she would help pick up as well.]

Ah, no I'm not that strong. [Comparatively speaking, a certain American especially pops into her mind.] I actually tend to do more government work.

Government work? So you're like an important public figure back home, huh?

[Crow doesn't know the half of it.]

Yes, in a sense! I work in international relations and a whole bunch of other stuff!

[Putting it lightly here!]

International relations?! That's a big deal! Well, you seem pretty down to earth, so I'm glad someone like you is representing the people!

[Anyone who's willing to do the grit work, is okay with Crow. He doesn't know her very well, but it shows her character.]

I rather you than some wicked CEO in his 1,000th floor high rise!
