"Marnie! Get up!" Hollered Marnie's mother, Charity, from downstairs. Marnie shot up out of bed, startled, then began to rub her half-open eyes. With a sigh, she hobbled out of bed and went towards her closet. Yawning, she opened the closet and put on a grey t-shirt, slipped on her denim overalls, then shoved her feet into her tattered brown boots. "Coming, Ma," She yelled back, plodding down the stairs. Her basket she always used to collect eggs was sitting right where she left it, next to the door. "Ma, I wanna go wif Marnie," Liam, her little brother, whined. Charity turned to Marnie, "Will you take Liam with you?" she asked, but Marnie could tell she wasn't really asking. "Sure." She grunted, grabbing a very happy Liam by the hand and leading him out the door. "Now, don't squeeze the eggs. Remember what happened last time? The yolk got ALL over you, and Ma wasn't very happy," Marnie said with a laugh. Liam giggled. "I'll be careful, Marnie." She nodded. With her free hand, she unlocked the coop and pushed the door open. "Go in," she said, pushing him forward. He ran inside and began chasing the chickens, wanting to catch one. Marnie just laughed at him and began to collect the eggs from the nesting boxes. "Look! Look!" Liam exclaimed, running up to Marnie. "Good job!" She giggled as he displayed the squirming hen he was gripping rather tightly. "Don't squeeze the poor thing." Soon, Marnie had collected all the eggs and fed the chickens, so she and Liam returned to the house. "Here you go," She placed the basket on the counter and snatched an apple. "Thanks. Would you run into town and get a few groceries for me?" Charity handed her a slip of paper with about ten items on it, as well as a coin purse that contained a bit of money. Marnie's shoulders fell. "Yeah, I guess," She mumbled between a huge bite of apple. She went outside and followed the dirt path that led to town. She knew she had gotten to town once the houses started appearing. She lived pretty far away from town, and hardly anyone else lived where she did. Because she wasn't really around many other people, she usually didn't have to watch where she was going. That's why when she ran right into someone, she was very surprised. She dropped her coin purse and the list of groceries. "Oh, I'm sorry!" She apologized, scrambling to get her items.

Addison smiled as she looked up at the wide blue sky, clear and bright today, save for a few wispy white clouds floating lazily across the azure canvas. Her twin younger sisters, Tally and Terreassa, were walking a few paces in front of her, each girl holding a basket piled high with fluffy sheep's wool. Addison was carrying something heavier in her basket- she had a dozen or so plastic bottles of milk, from the cows she had milked this morning herself. She had to be careful as she walked so that none of the milk containers tipped over in the basket, which could cause them to spill. Their mother had sent them out this morning to see off these goods at the market. Today was milk and wool, and tomorrow would be meat, from the old pig that was slaughtered yesterday and now in slabs in the storeroom, salted and drying. She was pulled from her thoughts when she heard a commotion in front of her as Tally, who had been chatting idly with her twin about who-knows-what, had apparently walking right into someone else, who seemed to be headed to the village as well, but from a different route. "Oh! I'm so sorry!" she apologized quickly for her younger sister, who was shaking out a couple pieces of wool that had fallen onto the ground from her basket. "Tally, you've got watch where you walk, hun. Tell her you're sorry." she told her sister with a smile, shaking her head. "Sorry!" the smaller girl said quickly, hopping to her feet, completely fine, save for a little scrape on her knee that the younger girl hardly noticed. Addison set down her basket and examined her sister's knee, gently brushing away a few pebbles that had remained pressed into the skin. "I'll wash this when we get home- wouldn't want it to get infected." she murmured before looking over at the other girl. "You're not hurt, are you? I'm very sorry about that." Addison added with an apologetic smile, feeling badly about what had happened, no matter how minor the incident. |

Marnie snatched the purse from off the ground as well as the list, brushing the dirt off of her items. "Oh no, don't worry about it. I'm fine." She said with a quick smile. She checked herself quickly. Nothing was bleeding, and she didn't have any open cuts she could see... the only thing that hurt was her right knee, which had hit the ground first, absorbing most of the impact. It was probably just bruised, so she didn't worry about it. "Are you okay?" Marnie asked the little girl that she had ran into, crouching down so she was eye-level with her. "Here, let me help you." She picked up the last few pieces of wool that had fallen out of the basket. "So, I'm guessing your out to town to market your goods?" She asked, starting to walk again. |

"Thank you, Miss!" Tally said with a large smile, skipping to catch up with her twin sister, who had only just begun to walk again. Addison picked up her basket carefully and nodded her head in response to the girl's question. "Yes, you guessed correctly." she said with a slight smile and a short nod of her head. "And judging by the coin purse and list, you're heading there as well to buy wares?" she added, the inquiry merely a means of conversation, as it was rather obvious that she was correct. And besides, the market place was one of the most popular places in the District, so most of the time when you saw someone walking in this direction, that was where they were headed, to buy or sell goods, or even just to socialize. |

"Yep! Sure am!" She said happily, toying with the clasp on the purse. She quickly read through the items, narrowing her eyes at one in particular. "Do you know a good place to get cold medicine?" She asked, "My mother needs some for my brother, I suppose, but I've never really seen any Drug Stores around the market." Everything else on the list, however, seemed easy enough to acquire. She shoved it in the pocket of her overalls and suddenly gasped. "I forgot to introduce myself!" She laughed, sticking her hand out towards the other girl. "The name's Marnie. Marnie Adkins. What do you call yourself?" |

Addison smiled and grasped the girl's outstretched hand, shaking it as she replied. "I'm Addison Johnstone." she said, releasing her hold. "And those two are my little sisters, twins, Tally and Terreassa." The two girls turned their heads to look back upon hearing their names and smiled, raising their hands and waving simultaneously. Being identical, they were rather difficult to tell apart if you didn't know them well enough. "As for the cold medicine, I would advise you talk to Agatha. Her cures usually work really well and they aren't too expensive either. She has a stall with lots of medicines. I can show you there, if you'd like." she offered with a shrug, not minding- it wasn't far out of the way, since they usually sold their goods in that area anyway. |

Ruka was absolutely bored out of his mind manning his father's shoe stall. He hadn't had the slightest interest in it so far today, not a mend or a new pair so much as passed the minds of anyone who was walking past him. Thus his lack of attention. He was nodding off when his father returned from his break. Thus his surprise as his father's rough hand slapped him across the face. "What in the world do you think you're doing boy!" His father shouted, his voice full of malice towards his son. Ruka cowered a bit. "You've got to stand, sell yourself to these people, make them want to buy your shoes! You can't just SLEEP on the job! You're useless!" His father continued, slapping him across the face again. Ruka started to cry, he hadn't been doing anything wrong, and if his father's breaks didn't take all day, perhaps he would be able to stay awake. |

"Alright then, thank you!" Marnie said happily. "Well, let's start moving!" She walked quickly down the sidewalk, hoping to get all the shopping down before it got too dark. That way, she could have a little time to ride Orion when she got home. She hurried past shop windows, looking for wares that she needed, when something in one window caught her eye; a pair of sturdy-looking cowboy boots. She raced to the door, halted, then opened it slowly. She noticed the shop was rather empty, except for a bored-looking boy at the counter. She walked up to him and cleared her throat, then asked, "How much for the boots in the display case?" |

"Oh!" Ruka said, glad his dad had gone to fetch something or other. "Umm... 40?" He said, knowing that the boots were some of his father's better shoes. He thought he might get away with lowering it, but it was better to start with the prices the way his dad prefered them. |

Addison followed Marnie into the shoe shop after sending the twins on ahead to start selling the wool. It was good quality and had already been washed and dried, so it wouldn't take long to find customers- wool made good winter clothes, a staple for folk who had to get up early on winter mornings to feed the cows or check on the chickens. The two ran off obediently toward their usual selling spot. Addison looked around the small shop, checking out a few pairs of work boots and admiring the craftsmanship- they were good quality and looked like they would last a good number of years. |
