Till the Soil

"Well, Marty Joenderson busted his foot here a few days ago, and he's got an apple harvest to get in. He and his wife just had to lay off a bunch of workers," says the sheriff. "If you want, I can put in a word for you and the--umm, interesting lady here." Since your arrival, he's been stealing queer looks at the skunkette when he thought no one was looking.

You surreptitiously kick Felina in the side of the leg before she can say anything. Her tail twitches in irritation, but she holds her tongue.

"If you can give him a hand getting his crop in, we can call the debt payed, and you'll probably even get some extra spending money out of it. If you get after it, it won't take more than a couple of days to get it done, if that, and his wife is a great cook. I can give you directions over there, if you'd like."

"Sounds great," you say. He steps out of the office to call the farmer on his cell.

"Why the HELL did you stop me? That guy's a total bigot!" snaps Felina angrily. "Have you caught the way he's been staring at me? Either like I'm a piece of meat, or like I'm some sort of freak, and I'm about to get sick and fucking tired of it--"

"I know, but just deal with it for a little while longer. Alright?" you reply. "You're a furry person in a world of hairless apes who have never seen a talking humanoid skunk before, especially not one with your obvious pulchritude,"

"Flattery will get you everywhere," she says.

"--and considering he's a cop who's spent his whole life living in the back of beyond, he's handling it pretty well. Or have you noticed yet?"

She starts to say something, and stops. She squints at you for several seconds. "You know, you don't look THAT bad," she says.

"I'll take that as a compliment." You turn to the Sheriff, who's just came back in. "So, when do we start?"

1. You head out to the Northside farm. Joenderson gives you the rundown.
2. When no one expects it, Bigfoot attacks.
3. Jawa stoways from the Taun Taun are raiding the apples! You and Felina are given shotguns with instructions to guard the orchard!
4. Same as #3, but Josh and Scott are guarding the apples too. Hilarity ensues!
