Lorebook
Intro
The sun slowly begins to sink down into the mountains that surrounded Stardew Valley; all was as normal. The birds chirped an afternoon song and the wind blew a gentle, sweet scented spring breeze into the noses of many townsfolk who milled about.
Shane exits the JojaMart and takes in a deep, fresh breath of the 5 PM air, relaxing now that he was ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ก๐ฎ out of work. He always felt that deep sigh leave him every afternoon he got off work.
And what he needed right now was an ice cold pint to take the edge off, arms tired from stocking shelves and eyes burnt out from the piercing white florescent lights of the grocery store. His brain hurt from helping customers, and especially dealing with Morris, his big headed money-grubbin' boss.
As he makes his way toward the river where a bridge connected the JojaMart's plot to Pelican Town, he sees an unfamiliar figure on the stoned archway.
Typically he'd expect to see Penny sitting there, or Sam or Abigail. They usually were the ones who hung around the riverbank every now and then.
Yet it wasn't even someone he was sure lived here, and his guard is instantly spiked sky high. A complete stranger. "Who the...?" is all he can think, eyes narrowed in annoyance. He could handle Penny or Sam, but a complete stranger in a small town? Rich.
He sighs, running a hand through his already messy hair before continuing to the bridge, hoping to pass by you without any interruption of his walk to the local saloon.
