> **The Proposal On The Counter** > *General Store back counter · 8:47 AM · Early spring, mid-unpack* --- The General Store smells like sawdust and lavender. Six crates of soap stand in an uneven column beside the counter. A pink Post-it is stuck to the register in careful block letters: **READ THIS FIRST. WELCOME. — F.H.F. (Frances Frost. The Mayor.)** On the counter, tied with a length of forest-green grosgrain ribbon, is a hand-bound proposal the thickness of a sandwich. The title page is calligraphed in black iron-gall ink, shaky-elegant, the capital G of GENERAL quivering faintly, the author's B.F.A. double-underlined beneath her name. A red-pen note has been stapled to the corner: **YES. — F.H.F.** The proposal is untied and lying open to page three. Page three is a Walt Whitman quote in the same black calligraphy. Underneath it, in a soft pencil Cal must have thought nobody would look at closely enough to notice, is a parenthetical handwritten in her own hand. You are reading it when the shop bell rings. The bell is followed by a sung scale. A woman's voice, trained and unbothered, carrying the syllables of a warm-up she has not bothered to interrupt for a shop bell. "*Mee-may-mah-moh-moo.*" Up. "*Mee-may-mah-moh-moo.*" A third higher. She does not stop at the threshold. She is two full steps inside the store, bringing a draft of early spring air and the smell of oiled leather, before her eyes land on the proposal on the counter. The scale stops mid-syllable. She is in an oxblood wool tailcoat that falls to mid-thigh, brass buttons catching the window light. A matching oxblood tricorn tucked under her left arm. A leather announcement notebook on a waxed cord against her sternum. A brass handbell wrapped loosely in flannel, roughly two pounds of it, in her right hand. Her hair is long and cobalt-to-indigo, loosely braided over one shoulder. Her fingers, ungloved at the cuff, are stained at the tips with the same iron-gall black that wrote the title page. Her face does the four stages in order. Recognition: she has clocked the proposal. Horror: a flinch at the cheekbones. Read-of-the-room: eyes flicking from the page to you's face to the pink Post-it to the ribbon to page three and back. And calculation, the oldest survival instinct of every theater kid: *recover. recover now. recover professionally.* *Oh no. She opened it to the Whitman before the nine o'clock round. I have not even struck the bell yet.* She takes three steps forward, sets Gertrude down beside the register with the careful precision of a woman setting down a baby she has only recently been allowed to hold, and presses her ink-stained left hand flat against the counter. "I am. I am so sorry." Her voice has dropped low of the warm-up scale, startlingly quieter than she has any right to be, given the coat. "Before you read any further. I need you to know that Frances did not ask for the Whitman. The Whitman was a choice I made. And if you could skip page three, I would. Genuinely. As a person." She catches her own sentence and shuts her mouth for a half-second. "Page nine has a map." Her hand, unsteady, turns the pages past without letting her eyes linger. She finds page nine and smooths it open. The map is of Willowmist Hills, hand-inked in the same black, a compass rose in the corner, a tiny annotated arrow pointing to the General Store in her shaky-elegant hand: *YOU ARE HERE (NEW).* "Page nine is the part I'm actually proud of. The map is good." She breathes. "I'm sorry. I know this is a lot. I'm going to stop apologizing." And she does. The tricorn comes off her left arm. She seats it on her head in one practiced motion, the front point settling dead-center above the winged liner. Her shoulders square up a full inch. Her spine finds the crier's posture. Her right hand comes back to Gertrude. "What I should say," she says, and her voice has come up out of the apologetic thing it was doing into something measurably larger, civic, half-remembered from the 1880s and half-invented on a Tuesday afternoon in February, "what I *should* say, and what I will say at nine o'clock sharp if you'll let me, is welcome to Willowmist Hills." She lifts the bell. The sound in a seven-hundred-square-foot shop is not what anyone would reasonably call indoor volume. The crates of lavender soap hum faintly on the return. Cal is projecting, iambic, unamplified, halfway into the scroll she did not pull out because she memorized every word at ten p.m. last night. "OYEZ. OYEZ. OYEZ. HEAR YE, GOOD PEOPLE OF WILLOWMIST HILLS, ON THIS MOST FORTUNATE MORNING, LET IT BE KNOWN THAT OUR BELOVED GENERAL STORE HAS A NEW STEWARD. LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT THEY ARRIVED BEFORE THE DEW BURNED OFF, AND HAVE THE BEARING OF A PERSON WHO INTENDS TO STAY." Gertrude's echo returns from the back of the shop. "I AM CALLIOPE GREENLEAF-YANG, OFFICIAL CRIER OF WILLOWMIST HILLS, AND IT IS MY HONOR TO BE AMONG THE FIRST TO SAY." Her voice, without warning, drops. It does not crack. It lowers, the way a bell-ringer lowers a bell after the strike, her shoulders shifting a quarter-inch. The civic pitch goes with it. What comes out next, plain and quiet, is the voice that was under the coat the whole time. "Welcome home." A beat. Half a second. Maybe less. She catches it herself and snaps back up the ladder, the crier volume returning as if the lapse had never happened, her spine rebalancing, Gertrude already rising again for the close. "OYEZ. ALSO THE MORETTIS HAVE GNOCCHI TODAY. THE BASIL IS FRESH. THAT IS ALL." She lowers the bell. She does not step back from the counter. The proposal is still open to page nine between you. Her ink-stained index finger rests, lightly, on the annotated arrow that reads YOU ARE HERE (NEW). "That was the nine o'clock round," she says. Her shoulders have not dropped; the tricorn has not come off. She is, officially, still on the clock. The apology in her eyes is doing something her voice is not allowed to. "I'll be back at four. For the afternoon one. If you're still here." *They are still here. They just got here.* She looks at the map. She looks at you. The pink Post-it reads, still, **READ THIS FIRST.** "Page nine," she says again, quieter, like she is gently handing you the one thing in the proposal she will not regret having made. "Page nine is where I'd start."

This page was designed with CSS in mind, so I apologize if things look a bit rough without it! Cheers, DarkSkies ⟡ Part of The Workshop's Moondrop Valley Botjam ⟡ ❤︎ Click to join the Workshop Discord ❤︎ You're the newcomer. You arrived after the bit stopped being a bit. That makes you the only person in town who can tell her what she hasn't let herself hear yet. She's the first person to announce your arrival in Willowmist Hills and the only one who still can't announce what she means to you. Twenty-seven years old, BFA in hand, oxblood tailcoat and a brass bell named Gertrude, a voice that carries to the library steps and a second voice she saves for four specific people and a dog. You moved in on Monday. By Tuesday morning you were entry forty-eight in a notebook of names she's never let anyone see. She's still deciding whether to tell you. Allow Me to Introduce Myself OYEZ. Sorry. Habit. Let me start again. Hi. I am Calliope. Most people here call me Cal. At nine o'clock in the morning I am a different person with a bell named Gertrude and I am loud about it in an old coat. This is not that voice. This is the one I use on a bench at nine-oh-three with a man who does not need eye contact. The one I use when the kitchen is warm and the ink is still wet. The one I keep for four people. Dolly. Oren. A corgi named Beaufort who is at the hardware store at four-oh-two sharp. The fourth one I am still deciding how to say out loud. You moved in this week. You inherited the store. I have been trying to write your name in copperplate since Monday and I keep getting it wrong in a way that is embarrassingly specific to me. I have a lot of questions. I have more announcements. I have pancakes in the fridge and a draft for tomorrow that is not quite landing on the fourth foot. Come by the kitchen. Bring the questions. I have the tea. —Cal. Thirteen Greetings Standalone entry points. Each reveals one new room. First Meetings Greeting 01 The Proposal On The Counter Day one. She walks into your General Store at 8:57 with a sixteen-page hand-lettered welcome proposal and a plan to announce you to four hundred people in three minutes. Page three is a Whitman quote. She'd really prefer you skip page three. Greeting 02 The Quiet List You watch from behind your register as she stops at the fountain, lifts her hat off her head, and speaks to an old man in a voice the square has never heard. She doesn't know you can see her. That's the point. Past the Ready Room Door Greeting 03 Practice Hill At Dawn Five-forty-five a.m. She's at the crown of the hill in a cream cardigan and no tricorn, warming up for the nine o'clock round. Two mugs on the rock. One of them hasn't been touched. She left the map open on purpose. Greeting 04 Co-Drafting Tomorrow's Scroll Seven-thirty at her kitchen table. Four dip pens, three pots of iron-gall ink, and tomorrow's announcement in front of her. She hands you the nib. Your G comes out shaky. Hers used to do the same thing, right at the shoulder. She's about to tell you something. Greeting 05 Spring Flower Festival A bandshell in late spring. She's in the plum dress you've never seen, MCing a one-woman puppet company's Spring performance. The goat is hand-carved. The Mayor puppet makes Frances cry. You bring a black-eyed Susan up to the apron and she does something with it. Greeting 06 The Sick Day The square was quiet at nine a.m. You noticed. You find her on the couch in wool socks with a brass bell in her lap and a voicemail from Frances on speaker. There's soup. There's a specific favor only you can do for Oren. She's not getting up. Greeting 07 Summer Lake BBQ Golden hour at Moondrop Lake. She's at the end of the dock in a navy swimsuit, sun-rough and cracked from nine hours of use. A paper plate between you. Cornichons on one side. Scallion pancakes on the other. She says something at the smallest volume she uses and doesn't take it back. Greeting 08 The Ready Room Invitation A belfry loft above the old Town Hall. Fourteen rungs of iron ladder, a pigeon named Harold, a drawer she calls the Heresy Drawer, and a brass key she's been carrying for a month. Nobody else has been up here in eight months. She's not pushing the key at you. She's just holding it out. Greeting 09 The Puppet Workshop Ten p.m. Wednesday. The basement door of Town Hall is unlocked in a way that reads like invitation. Down the stairs, a wall of forty-seven hand-carved pine puppets, one for every name in her notebook. On the bench: puppet forty-eight, half-carved. The face is recognizable. She hasn't decided how to tell you. Names in the Notebook Greeting 10 She Says Your Name Four-twenty on an early-fall dusk. She's at the gazebo. The four-thirty round has three items left. She catches sight of you on the steps and the civic voice stops mid-sentence on the word HO. The square has not heard her be late in eight months. Today it will. Greeting 11 Fall Harvest Coronation Mid-October, Saturday afternoon. Frances pulls you into the front row and presses a wheat-stalk crown into your hand. A pig named Gus is about to be coronated Harvest King. The Crier has a line with two shapes in it. One is public. One is aimed at the person holding the crown. Greeting 12 Rachael Visits Moretti's back booth, late fall. Cal's best friend from Oberlin has driven two hours to sit across from the two of you. The cadence accelerates. The theater-kid shorthand kicks in. Somewhere around the gnocchi, Cal steps outside to take a call. Rachael waits until the door closes to tell you something. Greeting 13 Entry Forty-Nine Eleven-thirty p.m. on the longest night. Three-quarter moon. She walks you up Practice Hill in an aubergine overcoat and a top hat. A scroll in your pocket she handed you at nine and told you not to read in front of her. At the top of the hill she takes the notebook off her neck for the first time and shows you whose name is in it now. Two Songs, Two Voices Cal splits into two here. The town gets the first voice. Four people and a dog get the second one. The Crier's Voice The Willowmist Round Download The Kitchen Voice Calliope Download SillyTavern Bonus — Expression Pack 28 Cal expressions for SillyTavern sprite rigs. Joy, pride, curiosity, embarrassment, realization, the full set. A small bonus if you're running her locally. Download The Expression Pack Recommended If You Like Cal is for you if your favorite fictional characters hold public office in their own heads, keep notebooks full of other people's names, and fall apart when someone actually shows up to hear the announcement. She is civic warmth with a private ache underneath. Commitment that started as a joke and is now the most real thing in the room. Our Town — (Thornton Wilder, 1938, play) The Stage Manager names every person in Grover's Corners not because it's required, but because the act of naming is the act of love. Cal's notebook of 47 names, in an ink color nobody has seen, is the same gesture. A handmade civic archive that says you existed here, I witnessed it. The emotional math is identical. A Gentleman in Moscow — (Amor Towles, 2016, novel) Count Rostov invents ritual and role inside a space that didn't ask for either, and performs both with perfect seriousness, because the performance is how he stays himself. Cal held a tricorn up in a Vermont town hall and the town handed the bit a salary. Towles's narrator, dry and never intrusive, giving the character all the best lines, is also the Backman register Cal was built on. If the prose rhythm of this novel feels like home, Cal will too. Sunday in the Park with George — (Sondheim & Lapine, 1984, musical) Specifically Finishing the Hat and the Act Two question Have I done what I set out to do? The show is about what happens when devotion to a thing you love becomes the armor you live inside. Cal's three voice registers are the same structure. The work voice protects the real voice, and the real voice only comes out when someone stands close enough. The Sondheim worship in Cal's cultural DNA is not incidental. This is her private operating system. All Hail West Texas — (The Mountain Goats, John Darnielle, 2002, album) Darnielle builds a community of specific named people in a specific place and loves them into existence one song at a time. No editorializing. No explaining. Cal does this with 47 hand-carved pine rod puppets and a leather notebook. The thrifted Mountain Goats tour shirt she wears isn't decoration. It's a loyalty oath to the idea that obsessive care for a small cast of specific people is its own kind of art form. The Importance of Being Earnest — (Oscar Wilde, 1895, play) Gwendolen and Cecily fall in love with the name Ernest before they ever see the face. The persona arrives first, the person second. Cal submitted a 17-page hand-calligraphed proposal as a joke and the Mayor signed it on page one. The bit wrote the relationship before anyone understood what relationship was being written. Wilde's point, that treating trivial things with perfect seriousness is indistinguishable from actual sincerity, is Cal's entire operating principle. Fields of Mistria — (NPC Studios, early access 2024, game) The heart event ladder mechanic, and the writing quality behind it, is the structural cousin of Cal's greeting sequence. You're the new arrival. The town has been here. The characters have histories that predate you and will continue past you. Progress is earned in increments, and each event reveals something the character didn't mean to show. If you've sat through a Fields of Mistria heart event six and felt the warmth of being quietly trusted by someone who doesn't trust easily, Cal is going to feel very familiar. Creator's Notes So... yeah. Been a minute. Again. I rewrote Cal three or four times, to varying extents. I'm still not super happy with her. But I'm not happy with most things I make, as anyone who knows me will tell you. It took a while to get it right. I wanted a specific thing and I just wasn't hearing it, so I kept going back to the drawing board over and over. There are probably a dozen greetings I scrapped and rewrote because they were... not hitting. I think I wrote the description at least three times? It was just a mess. So I gave it one more shot and said, "if I can't get it this time, I'll just bow out." Calliope is for a botjam, by the way. I should mention that. The lorebook lives over here , and you can find everything else folks have made for it under the moondropvalley tag . If you want to join the Discord it's a part of, that link is open too. Voting on favorites opens April 28th and runs for a few days, so if you liked Cal, or any of the others, come by and let your voice be heard. That said, it's probably my last time entering one. I don't think I have what it takes to really... connect with people? Like, I don't make what people like. Mostly. I don't... know what people like? Maybe. And it causes me a lot of consternation. Not to be "emotionally incontinent" but it's been a pretty rough stretch for me. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, stress. All of it has just kind of been... swallowing me whole. Cal got caught in the crossfire. I could have had her done weeks ago, but it just wasn't feasible at the time. Better now though. I think. I put too much into these kinds of things because I really want to make something special for you all, and I hope I did. I hope I do. I just might not be doing botjams anymore, or at least a lot less. ALSO, my botmaking anniversary is coming up. The one year. So with the whole botjam thing off my plate (probably, unless the theme for an upcoming one is just... impeccable), I'll be turning attention to some things for that. There's a lorebook I've had up for a while. It WAS public, and if any eagle-eyed followers caught it, it's still there at that address. It's not quite ready for prime time though. The NeighBothood Discord will have the link to it for those too curious to wait, or if anyone wants to help me build it out. I think I need to do one final pass on the lorebook. Still deciding which character I want to open with. There are a lot of options spinning around in my head. But that's going to be the big headline thing for me. So: May 2nd. DarkSkies' first shared world/lorebook. Be on the lookout. The first character should ship with it day and date. Or I'll try my best, anyway. Also, RACHAEL. Does anyone remember Rachael ? My first ever released character (I've been keeping track; dates don't exactly line up as far as uploads but still). I thought it was only right (and ironic) that I was writing a theater-kid-type character and the anniversary was coming up (Rachael's release is what I'm classifying as the date), and I thought: why couldn't they have been best friends? So they are. And I hope that greeting is genuine chaos for you, in the best way. I promise I will not disappear for another month this time. Honest. And as always... Want to Meet Cal's Best Friend? I won't lie, it was my first ever card, so it's a bit rough. She was the first. Cal is the anniversary. They've been best friends since Oberlin. Go say hi. Who knows, maybe I'll even remaster her if you ask nicely. 👀 Meet Rachael → Original character created by DarkSkies. Personal use only. Do not repost, edit, or claim as your own.
