I shall be giving you Jerran's descriptions <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  If Jerran offends anyone, tough, he's pretty darn offensive.  Nah, just kidding.  If he offends, let me know and I'll tone him down.Dad:  Ah, dear old dad. . . I wonder sometimes how he ever landed such a saucy little wench as my mother.  I suppose he's handsome enough, but a bit dour.  Maybe it's his old age getting the better of him.  Still, when I can be bothered to talk to him, he's usually a good source of information.  He's been more places than most of us here, and unlike those nutty Peddlefeet. . foots. . . whatever, he spent his traveling days visiting cities and castles instead of wandering around in some muck filled swamp somewhere. Mom:  Mom is where I get my devastatingly good looks.  She may be past her prime, but she still turns the heads of all the old farts sitting around the village.  She's got a good mind on her shoulders too, which worries me sometimes.  I think she knows more than she lets on. . .Milo:  My younger (and only, thank goodness) brother.  He's a shy, serious and above all BORING little twit.  Still, I suppose I shouldn't complain too much.  I mean, if it wasn't for him I'd still be dragged along on all those dull trading trips.  I keep hoping that he'll change for the better and loosen up a bit.  If you're quiet about it, I'll let you in on a little secret.  I actually love my little brother, but keep it quiet.  It broke my heart to see those sappy puppy dog eyes following Molle around all the time, so I let myself get "caught" walking out with Sif.  I had set Milo up to be around to comfort the heart broken Slipfiddle, but he totally spaced on oportunity.  Still, I maintain my hope for him yet.Molle Slipfiddle:  It was fun while it lasted, and she is definately my "type".  (Here Jerran pauses to make the curvy woman silhouette with his hands)  She had a huge crush on me, and I did my best to give her a taste of "Jerran style loving", but it was never going to last.  If she ever looked up from the boys flirting with her at the Silver Horn, she might just catch a glimpse of Milo watching her, and I think that would be the best thing all round.Sif Peddlefoot:  Well, they always say the Peddlefoots are an "adventurous" family. *nudge, nudge, wink, wink*  Very nice too look at, but not too bright.  Still, she'll be fun for a while.Bubbles Greenbottle: My dear, sweet Bubbles.  Y'know that girl just can't get enough of me.  The tankards are just an act you see.  Once, when he had managed to tear his eyes away from Molle, Milo asked me why I kept pushing her so hard when it always ended up with broken crockery and painful bruises.  That's when, in an inspired moment of brotherly affection, I let him in to my secret to women.  'Women', I said, 'are like flowers.'  I managed to avoid any dirty comments about spreading petals, for which I was very proud of myself, but he probably wouldn't have gotten it anyways.  Now where was I? . . . Bubbles. . . tankards. . . women. . . flowers. . . right. 'Women are like flowers.  Each one is different and beautiful in her own way.  You can't assume what works for one woman will work with another.  Now, early on, I mistook Bubbles' customary affability for something a bit more, and I made a perhaps slightly off color suggestion.  That was the first time I was at the receiving end of her wrath.  But she is lovely when she's angry.  Nowadays I know her well enough to know when I'm getting dangerously close to being hit, but I don't stop myself.  I personally think she enjoys breaking tankards over my head.  And the secret is to give women what they want.'  She'll come around eventually. . .Kwinn Baublebuck:  A good friend, and a good companion.  I always enjoy having him around for a laugh.  And besides, he makes me look good.Alton Highlea:  Ugh, what a little pest.  I always get the feeling that he's watching me.  Why does he feel that my personal. . . indiscretions are any of his business.  I suppose he's likeable enough when you get down to it, but his moral highground is vastly irritating.  He's younger than any of us, but acts like a crotchety old man sometimes.Ringly Softpetal:  I never really saw much of this guy.  I suppose he's always been around, but he never really seemed to like any of the rest of us.  Still, smart as a whip if you spend the time to talk to him.  I just never seem to find the time. . . I mean, it's not like he's female or anything, so I can always find someone a little more interesting.Kiylea Tangleweb:  Another one who's never around.  I suppose if she'd been around the village much, I would have made my move and moved on by now.  But as she's always out and about, I never bothered.  Now I have more interesting prospects on my plate.  Maybe some other time.Jyn Peddlefoot:  Meh, if you've had one Peddlefoot, you've had them all.  I think I'll stick with Sif.  Never really talked to her much, never really wanted to.  She seems a bit uppity sometimes as well.Eddie Mossback:  Slightly creepy little kid, really.  Always whispering to other people and then clamming up when I come into view.  I remember his brother, a grumpy guy if I ever saw one.  Now Eddie seems to be shaping up as his own little anti-socialite.  Mom and I have to keep a close eye on him whenever he's in the store.  Whenever his eyes catch mine, he seems to panic.  I think he's a little afraid of me, but perhaps that's for the best.Logeanisty A. Logfellar:  Strange kid.  I've caught him trying to nick stuff from the store on numerous occasions, but he always laughs it off and hands the item back to me along with a couple of other things that he'd managed to pocket without me noticing.  I don't really know what's up with him. . . or his name.  Freaky.hmmm. . . a lot of typing, and a lot of reading.  I enjoyed it though, hopefully the rest of you will too.</blockquote>
