Let us begin this sordid tale.
So far it's about what I expected, but at least now we have a kickass mansion.
>mfw theres a write in option
[] A Mystical Forest: A venerable forest stands nearby, providing a source of lumber and trade for the town. Your aide hints that magical creatures and places can be found deeper inside.
[] A library: Your estate has an extensive library, unusual for a country mansion.
[] A Town: No estate is truly that far from a settlement, but yours is practically in a town. There will be plenty of ways to slip out and interact with children your own age, if the locals will let you.
Town is kind of a long game option, at first I was going to go with
Staff for the friendship angle, but the extra uncertainty in town might help us become better adjusted (plus you know, all the random resources a town brings). Kind of risky... so I'll continue to ponder it.
Library is library.
The Mystical Forest is my gambit for a place that provides long term options for training and events. In the short term I'm hoping for it to be a place our pets can explore and train at without getting too in over their heads and in the long term a source for new friendships and cool places.... maybe even that hot spring that I didn't pick *cough cough*
Combined with the
Town, I'm hoping that it will serve as an attraction for adventuring types (*cough cough peach blossom cough cough*)
Another write in option for me was
Hot Springs for its rejuvenating properties and such, but it eventually lost out to FOREST and LIBRARY.
If I was going with another vote set, it would probably be, STAFF, ORCHARD, LAKE. (rip hot spring)
