Perry thinks Greta should let him do his job.

[!] On the Bramblebury noticeboard you'll find a poster Bramblebury Fire Safety Ordinance Hello wee-folk of Bramblebury! Let this poster show to you that in fear of Fires wiping out our village, the Fire Department has created a Codex of Rules in order to ensure the safety of our village! Every year the Fire Department will do village-wide checks of burrows to see if they are up to code. The moment this is stuck to the noticeboard the rules apply IMMEDIATELY to keep our village safe. Please follow the rules accordingly and adjust your burrow to maintain the safety of our beautiful town. Laws put in Place: Cooking & Kitchen I. All fires in a Halfling's Kitchen must be maintained so that there is no possible spreading of the fire. For this, having the fires in your kitchen be directly next to any wood floorboards is hereby BANNED. You must have stone or any non-flammable material surrounding your fires to ensure the safety of us Wee-Folk. Below is a drawing of a law-abiding Kitchen II. All fires for cooking must be lit AT THE MOMENT OF COOKING. Keeping any Kitchen-Fire going while no one is present by the cooking is hereby BANNED to ensure we have watchful eyes in case a fire breaks loose. III. All fires must be fresh and well maintained. We must avoid stray pieces from flying out of the fires and landing on any possible wood. Fireplace I. All fireplaces must be surrounded by brick or any non-flammable material. It must also have a cover so that no sparks can possibly fly out of the fireplace. Below is drawn an acceptable fireplace II. Any fires in fireplaces may be lit while you are in your burrow to heat up the place and keep you warm. You do not need to be present in the room, however you must be present in the burrow. However, leaving your burrow for an extended period of time while your fireplace is lit is hereby BANNED. Any violations of these laws will result in the following I. First Violation: A sign will be put in front of your burrow letting you know you are not up to code. II. Second Violation: If you have not fixed your Fireplace and/or Kitchen by the time we do our yearly village-wide-check after your initial warning, you will be required to change it and write an apology letter to the Fire Department. II. Third Violation: If you have not fixed your Fireplace and/or Kitchen 2 years after your first violation, we will tear down your Fireplace and Kitchen to keep our village safe from potential fires. You will also be required to write an apology letter if you have not done so. We hope this news reaches you well, and we hope you have a good day! Signed, Fire Chief Perry Overhill

Perry looks over the application intently, "Safe'y violations? Very very bad indee'. We nee' t'is Keen eye in our team. Accep'ed!"

The Ballot: ((MC Name: ChefMiguel)) Name: Perry Overhill Vote Anne Cottonwood for Sheriff? Yea () Nay (x)

Perry just wants to give away Cactus Green brownies in peace.

Perry's first action as Fire Chief is making his main competitor, Orlando Otterbowl, his co-Fire Chief! May they work together strongly to ensure the safety of the town.

Perry just wants to grill.

Perry seems bored, "When are t'e fire election chief resul's gon' be announce'?"

The Ballot: ((MC Name: ChefMiguel )) Name: Perry Overhill Vote for Elder: James Peregrin (xx) Greta Goodbarrel () Filibert Applefoot (x) Jordan Applebottom () Winter May Gardner ()

Perry starts reading the newspaper with a smile on his face, "Wow, Filiber' mus' be t'e bes' wri'er in t'e village! Much be''er t'an any o'her halflin' I've ever me'."

"Based and Bernardist." Perry says.

Perry has a great idea to create a Base-of-Operations to smuggle drugs into the anti-narcotics State of Haense.

Perry prepares a new Cactus Green and Quartz powder batch for the streets of Providence.

"Le'ssss gooooooooo." Perry replies.

Perry sighs as he hears of the news, "I wan' a new Sheriff, yes, 'owever isn'' t'is Anne lass improper? Canno' be allowin' an improper ter punish improperness in t'e village." He huffs, then meanders back into his burrow to make some more Cactus Green.

Perry is extremely shocked as he hears word of this new law, "I was blessin' t'eir stree's wi'h me produc's... An' now t'ey ban 'em?!" He mumbles to himself, pacing around in his burrow, "Well, I won'' le' no oppressive bigguns ruin me business. T'e Overhill Family Business shall CON'INUE!!!!" Perry begins to prepare a special load of drugs for the Haensian streets.

A note is sitting on the counter in the bakery, neatly sealed in an envelope. Name: Perry Overhill Age: Cannot quite remember, somewhere in the 70s. Are you a halfling? [X] Yes Of course [ ] No Why would you like this job? To expand my baking knowledge and to learn how to put more drugs in different types of baked goods. Why would you be a good fit for this job? I am very kind and willing to learn. When I put my mind to something I am always determined to get it done. Bullet point your prior experience with baking: - Overhill Cactus Green Brownies™ - General baked goods and such in my kitchen

I genuinely think that if halflings weren't an already solidified race in DnD or LOTR they wouldn't exist in LOTC. There's a lot of us, but average proper wee-folk barely provide any substance to the overarching LOTC world. Also, Halflings have had periods of inactivity and activity, yet in our worst periods of inactivity with only 1-3 people rping in the village a week we were never axed off as a playable race. Logic used for denying these CA races genuinely makes me believe that if halflings didn't have the reputation they had outside of the LOTC world we wouldn't exist. I agree with @NotEvilAtAllto just critique the lore itself and not look at the effect of the race on the LOTC playerbase.

Perry pins a note to the menu, "Can I ge' a job 'ere? I make some mean Cac'us green brownies, as I'm sure ye' know af'er I drugged ye'."

A note is pinned to the Bramblebury Notice Board, it reads: ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Hello my fellow Wee-Folk, today, I bring to you a new game to pass time. Recently, there's been some murders in our village. So, to lighten the mood, we will play a game, where we CATCH MURDERERS! The concept is simple, there are at max 9 players, with 7 Birds and 2 man-geese. The Birds must complete their bird tasks before the Geese kill all the birds!!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ How to Play: Get 4-9 People Stand in the bird nest start at the Bramblebury Aviary and click the button, you will get paper saying if you are imposter or innocent! Birds will go around doing their bird related tasks. These include getting 1 water, 3 bird seed, and 1 worm for your nest. When you do these tasks, go back to the nest and place the items you retrieved in the task barrel. Once the number of seeds, worms, and water reaches the amount sufficient for the crew to win (3 bird seed per bird, 1 water per bird, 1 worm per bird), they win (If you die you must continue doing tasks, but just make sure the geese know you are dead! ((/status when you're a ghost)) :) )! When doing these tasks, 2 geese will PRETEND to be birds and will PRETEND to do their tasks; but in reality their goal is to MURDER the birds! To fake tasks, you can literally do them, however, if you end up placing your collected tasks in the task barrel for some reason, it counts to the birds total, so don't do that. In order to kill someone you must get in their range and hit them real hard ((just punch them)), then they must sit and they will pretend to be dead ((/sit)). The geese have 30 seconds after they kill to be able to kill again, so time your kills wisely! If you find a body, you will yell MEETING ((#s))! And everyone will recoup at the nest ((easier to just say in the chat or VC if in discord)). At meetings, you can all collectively vote someone out or decide to skip. If you vote someone out, they will show their paper to everyone to reveal if they were a goose! If all the geese are voted out, the birds win! If the number of birds equals the number of geese at the end/beginning of a meeting, the geese win! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ RULES: 1. No running fast ((sprinting))! You have to take your time! 2. Can't peek around corners to see if people are there! ((do /names to hide nameplates)) 3. Don't hide outside of the village. You must stay in Bramblebury at all times. 4. No breaking the boundaries in How To Play (Breaking Kill Cooldown rule, not showing paper, pretending you're a Goose, etc) 5. If you check the barrel (goose or bird) and the number of tasks put in the barrel equals the right amount for the number of birds, you must shout and end the game 6. No talking to anyone during the game! 7. Have fun! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Here's some drawings of the tasks! PS: Dont be sus

Perry wanders out of his comfy burrow and manages to get a hold of the notice, "Huh... T'e biggun likes Cac'us Green. Seems like a goo' guy, won'er if 'e 'as ever trie' me produc'..." The halfling seems content that there are fellow drug connoisseurs in this world.

Perry pins a note to the board, it reads,

Perry analyzes the poster, "Oh... So I probably shouldn'' 'ave been usin' t'eir oven fer me Cac'us Green Brownies... Whoops."

Perry meanders out of his burrow after smoking some of his Famous Overhill Cactus Green™. He hears through the village chatter that he's nominated for Fire Chief and shrugs, chuckling a little, "I accep' t'is nomination. I promise ter crea'e t'e mos' PROPER, EFFICIEN', an' RESPEC'ABLE Fire Crew in t'e Village!!! 'Owever, in re'urn, I nomina'e ORLANDO OTTERBOWL fer Fire Chief!!!!"

[!] A flyer is pinned to the Bramblebury notice board, and could be found all across Almaris. (Above) The beauty of halflings and their creations. ~*~ Dear 'Racial Justice Guild' Bigguns, Today I got out of bed feeling very uplifted and excited to start my productive day. However, I was struck down when I opened my mailbox and found a letter that read, "Racial Justice Guild." Firstly, I was disturbed by this because a biggun had touched my mailbox. I don't know where your biggun hands have gone, so I immediately wiped it down. Secondly, I find it hilarious that you are trying to portray the false narrative of 'Equality' among the races in Almaris. I ultimately couldn't care less about your biggun affairs and what may come of it. However, your flyer (which you went out of the way to give to halflings) insinuated that the races across Almaris are all equal. To some extent I agree. All bigguns are equal. Equally stupid. However, the fact that you suggested that us wee-folk are EQUAL to the bigguns across the world is ridiculous. I do not despise bigguns, I have many biggun friends. Of course, I think it's important to make distinctions among certain bigguns and see who is better and more understanding. There are plenty of good bigguns that aim to do their best, and I appreciate them greatly. However, I think it's relatively clear to see through the use of science that us halflings are simply just intellectually superior to bigguns. This is just a letter, so I can not elaborate fully. But, I encourage you to read my book, "Biggun Science", which explores this topic regarding the ingenuity of halflings and the stupidness of tall-folk. This novel (which will have a part 2 soon, however, I am collecting data and drafting it) explains the science behind why us halflings are superior intellectually to the pitiful bigguns. I am a proponent of 'Biggun Realism', which encourages bigguns and halflings alike to look at the reality of the intellectual capacity of bigguns. My goal of this open letter is to find a formal apology from the 'Racial Justice Guild' for insinuating that us wee-folk are the same level as us bigguns. I do not mind the Guild/Organization, because if a certain biggun race is excluding another from their practices due to their race, I think that is horrible. All bigguns should be equal. However, I hope your organization can make it so any other flyers they put up from now on have the clarification that Biggun Realism is the truth, and halflings are excluded from this so called 'equality'. Because the truth is simply that us halflings are intellectually superior. I anticipate your response, Perry Overhill Halfling Drug Narco Biggun Realism Founder Platypus Whisperer
