Development Journals and Discussion / Kaelyn's Collection of Letters

Dear Momma,

Happy almost Harvest Day! I'm sorry I haven't returned your letters in so long.

Once spring rolled around here on Mistone, I put myself to work planting crops for the survivors of those terrible tsunamis. It's been very hard work, but very much worth it. The people here near Port Hempstead aren't really... pastoral folk. They're so used to living in a big city and going to markets that they didn't know how to grow their own crops! And now that self-sufficiency is key to their survival before rebuilding is done, someone needed to teach them. Being the only Prunillan I have seen since arriving, I knew it had to be my job. And what a job it was! I spent day after day out in the fields, sweating and getting callouses on my hands. I've gained a new appreciation for hard labor; it is truly liberating. I'm hoping now that Harvest Day is arriving that they've learned something. And even if they didn't, they at least have a good amount of corn and wheat for the winter.

Much love,
Kaelyn *a drawing of a four-leaf clover beside her signature*

Introduce Yourself / Why hello there.

My name is Ashley, but I'm better known here as Zelda/Ash/Larissa. I'm glad to say I'll be returning to Layo as much as my schedule may let me.

A little about myself.. I was introduced to fantasy at age 7, when the first of the Lord of the Rings movies came out. I'm proud to say my grandma, Serissa, introduced me to it. After that, I got into it bit by bit until about November 2005 when I joined the Layo community.

Yes, I'm pretty young at 15, but don't mistake being young for being unintelligent. I know I'm certainly not the wisest or most mature girl, but I do try to understand things to the best of my ability. Also, I've grown up a tremendous bit since I was last a Layo addict, but you can judge that for yourself.

Hmm. Let's see. My hobbies include French club (surprisingly, I'm not very good at French :p ), homework, a little more homework, writing, reading, texting (yes, I'm one of THOSE teenagers), and a little softball from time to time.

I mainly play one character now, Larissa, as Ash perm'd a few years back. I love playing my little halfling, but I doubt she'll ever make it to a high level like everyone else seems to be these days. And I may have another character in the works. We shall see.

Anyways, sorry for the essay here, but it's very nice to be back; I look forward to see all of you in-game.
