So yeah, I play Harvest Moon DS on an old DS, and this is some random thing I really wanted to share with you guys. 

Would you keep visiting someone if they lived at the bottom of a pit? If you answered yes, it is not any pit, but at the 255th base level of a cave filled with aggresive, bloodthirsty swarms of bugs and birds. Would you still continuously risk your life to keep visiting them now? And, when you finally make it to the 255th floor, you find them. They are always sleeping, in a bed, in a room with nothing but the bed and a message board.

Now, a stranger in your room sounds scary, and it is, but remember; This is a game. People only lock their doors when they leave for work or play, and besides, you've visited her multiple times before. So, if you were bold enough, you would come go to the side of the bed and say hello.

You remember the first time you found them, kneeling, with a sword held snug to their chest. You approached them, and theyheld it out, not to cut you in half, but an offering; a gift. Whether you accept it or not is up to you.

They jolt awake, and they look at you. For some reason, they were fully clothed in a white shirt and yellow cloak. Their mouth moved but nothing coming out. They, you remember, are mute, which is fine. They scrawl out a message on the board. A demand. Food. The finest of food.



Huh. So much for a friendly conversation.



Still, you try make friends with them anyway. You walk up, up the 255 stairs, get them their rather expensive food choice, and bring it back down to them, down 255 stair flights of stairs, to their little lair. They happily accept the food, but then place it next to them on the bare part of the bed next to the pillow, and went back to sleeping. You politely step away, as they will no longer respond to you for the rest of the day.

If you do visit them again, you will have to re-fight through the 255 floors, suffer batterings and beatings again, and stagger to their small room, you will find them as they always had been; still sleeping in their bed. The platter of food you had given them had disappeared, food and plate and eating utensils all gone. You never got to see what happened to it. Still, they jolt awake, still in the yellow cloak, and scrawl another sloppily written message.

"I'm thirsty.  Get me something to drink."







UUUUUUUUUGGGHHH.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">NO LADY.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">NO.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">I GIVE UP ON YOU, MISS!

<p style="font-weight:normal;">I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

<p style="font-weight:normal;">I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMOREEEEEEEEEEE-

<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Dude calm down.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">It's just a video game dude.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">And also,

<p style="font-weight:normal;">also,

<p style="font-weight:normal;">put yourself in their shoes! They have no food or water source readily available, they are cursed to be mute, and their one-room home is surrounded by creatures of the dark, creatures who have forgotten their sanity and only live to have blood spilled on their lips. It's natural that she'd be tired and hungry all the time.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">'''UGH, BUT JESUS LADY, DO I ALWAYS HAFTA WALK 255 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS JUST TO VISIT YOU? CAN'T YOU JUST MOVE TO THE SURFACE? IF YOU'RE SO MISERABLE DOWN THERE, THAN WHY DON'T YOU JUST FRICKING COME UP WITH ME TO THE SURFACE? WHY DON'T YOU JUST-'''

<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Dude, they gave their only weapon to you.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">WHY DID SHE GIVE ME THE FREAKING SWORD THEN?

<p style="font-weight:normal;">I dunno, but even if she didn't, she doesn't have any food to help her along.

'''SHE MIGHT HAVE EATEN THE PLATE AS WELL AS THE FOOD. SHE'S CRAZY!'''

Ehh, I'm too tired to argue with myself, so yeah g'bye.

Uh yeah, so, I'm sorry for wasting your time with stupid stories   :'(.
