[nospaces] [attr="class","loccont"] [attr="class","loctitle"] SWEETGRASS FARMS [attr="class","locbody"]200 acres founded in 1898 eclipse town [break][break] the okoro family farm has existed for one-hundred-and-twenty-five years, founded just before the turn of the twentieth century by the widowed josephine "joe" okoro using the land left to her by her late wife, sequoia waters okoro. located on the outskirts of eclipse town, miles away from any neighbors in all directions. fifty-two acres of land have been left untouched in their original state and are home to an abundance of local fauna and flora. near the entrance to the farm is the okoro family tree, older than the farm itself planted by joe okoro upon acquisition of the property. [break][break]
for many years sweetgrass farms operated with minimal livestock, besides those to help with working the fields. however, shortly after paloma okoro's marriage to marc chloros, the couple acquired a variety of livestock including goats, pigs, ducks, and additional horses.[break][break]
in the 1950s arthur okoro, a formidable alchemist and gaia witch, added a greenhouse to the property. the greenhouse became home to a variety of medicinal plants, as well as arthur's prized roses. for a brief period of time, sweetgrass farm sold dried herbs, salves, potions, teas, etc under the name sweetgrass apothecary. this particular business endeavor was not as fruitful as intended and was primarily a passion project of arthur okoro. after his passing, sweetgrass apothecary quietly shut its doors. the greenhouse still stands to this day and is maintained by members of the okoro family. the cultivation of flowers and medicinal plants has never ceased but is now a family affair, rather than a business venture. the current owners have considered reopening sweetgrass apothecary in light of current events. [break][break] currently trying to recover from a series of unfortunate events including the death of matriarch rose okoro, a barn fire, the loss of livestock, the mysterious disappearance of bello okoro, and generally struggling crops. rumored by many of the locals to be cursed. bellora okoro and her husband niles okoro, current owners of sweetgrass farms, have been struggling to grab the reigns of the family business. members of the community suspect that neither of them inherited the same business acumen the late rose okoro possessed. with the current situation becoming more and more dire, opportunists watch with rapt attention. [break][break]

[nospaces] [attr="class","quickdev answer"]
CHARACTER QUICKSTART: BELLO OKORO
- GROUNDING. in situations of high pressure, what makes them focus?
- DEVOTION. what he can't do for self, he will do for another. on all fours, forehead pressed to the ground -- this is where bello gains strength. emboldened by the singlemindedness of submission, he bears the weight of his chains. born tethered to the Other and forever bound. lonely, perhaps, but never alone. tied to Them by heavenly strings. he always feels the quivering of Their heart, pressed warm against worn skin. his body to be occupied and mind filled by another's will. a puppet. a vessel. a soldier.
- IMPULSE. in the quiet, where does their mind wander?
- DESIRE. how do they see it, and how do they treat it?
- BURNING. starting as a tickle under the foot, a dampness on the back of his neck, the thick thrumming of his veins. a rushing of red underneath the surface. a growing discomfort in the physical form. squirming, clammy, irritable. gasping. nothing sweeter than the peach pit of shame. glowing with embarrassment under the gaze of his fantasies - his aspirations. how they suck the life from him and turn the world up twenty degrees. he's sweating, enduring until he realizes; it is too much after all. an impassioned drop into dark waters. he's not great enough to taste what wets his palette. and so, for now, he abstains.
- RESPONSE. in unfamiliar situations, how do they react?
- INACTION. he turns to stone.
- NIGHTMARE. what is something they never want to hear?
