bordersmodsWho: OPEN TO ALL!
Where: The farms outside the city walls, then the park in the housing tract
When: Wednesday through Saturday
What: Farm work and well-earned barbecue
Warnings: None
The lazy days of orientations and exploration had given way quite suddenly to work... and not work necessarily suited to everyone involved, either! The harvest had to get planted, or else food come winter would be pretty scarce. In order to plant as much as possible, everyone in the city who couldn’t be spared from something else was being drafted-- everybody. Most were put to the fields to plow and sow, though some, whether having particular talents elsewhere or simply not enough stamina for moving about all day, got to sort seeds, move rocks in the way of the plows and tractors, and
Some of the farms were more modern than others, with tractors giving way to horse- and dragon-drawn plows, and some were more magical than others, automatic watering systems side by side with tiny, magical rainclouds. And some of the farmers were more friendly than others, particularly the one dragon-run farm and the tayafay-owned farm, both on opposite sides of the city.
By Saturday morning, the work was deemed complete, or as close to complete as one could reasonably expect, and the rest of the weekend saw the new residents free for resting up or fun, as they wished. More regular work, depending on what everyone had signed up to do, would begin on Monday. To make up for the often exhausting work of the past few days, Saturday evening saw the park at the center of the Knolls full of barbecues, fire pits, light of various kinds, and music: free food for all!
