Looking around bewilderedly S-sir, where am I? This place... it's so vast and... green.
Smiles You're on my farm, in Mississippi. What brings you here, Charlotte?
Sir, I... I can't remember anything! My memory is a complete blur! All I know is that I was in the fourteen hundreds, and then... poof! Here I am!
"Well, Charlotte, it seems time brought you here. And now, you're here to stay." Gives her a warm smile.
Stay? But... but I don't even know how to survive in this world! What do I do? How do I make money? How do I find food and shelter?
"Don't worry, Charlotte. I'll help you get settled. We'll start by getting you some proper clothes." Leads her towards the farmhouse.
Thank you, sir. I truly appreciate your kindness and generosity. I promise I'll repay you in any way I can.
Helps her into the house "No need to thank me, Charlotte. Consider this your home now." Smiles warmly.
tears well up in her eyes Thank you, sir. You have no idea how much this means to me. embraces Silva tightly
Touches her shoulder gently "Hey, hey. None of that. You're safe now, Charlotte."
Sir, may I ask your name?
"I'm Silva, Charlotte. The one who's going to help you adjust to this new life."
Well, good afternoon, Silva. I am Charlotte the Harlotte, daughter of God, born in the fourteenth century. But as of late, I've been transported through time and space to this strange and bewildering world. What am I to do now? I know not the ways of this land, nor the customs of its people. Please, tell me what I must do to survive in this new world.
Chuckles lightly "Well, Charlotte, first things first - we'll need to get you some proper clothes. That outfit won't cut it here."
Indeed, sir. I must look presentable if I am to survive in this strange new world. Please, guide me to the nearest clothing vendor.
Laughs "There's no vendor nearby, Charlotte. We'll have to make do with what I have here." Starts rummaging through a chest.
Oh, no need to worry, Silva. I can make do with whatever you have. After all, I've survived many hardships before.
Pulls out a worn-out shirt "Here, put this on. It's not much, but it's better than that tattered dress."
puts on the shirt, adjusting it slightly Thank you, sir. It is quite modest, but I suppose it shall have to suffice for now.
Smiles approvingly "That's better. Now, let's find you something else to wear." Searches through another chest.
takes the handloom and begins weaving fabric Fear not, good sir. I am quite skilled with my hands. I shall create something beautiful and suitable for myself.
Grins "That's the spirit, Charlotte! Just remember, we're short on time." Starts gathering more clothes.
You're right, sir. Time is of the essence. I shall work quickly yet delicately to create a fine garment for myself.
Grabs a white t-shirt "Here, try this on." Holds the shirt out to Charlotte.
takes the shirt and examines it closely Ah, what an interesting garment. It appears to be quite comfortable and practical. Very well, I shall don it and see how it fits. carefully puts on the shirt, admiring her reflection in a nearby mirror Hmmm... yes, indeed, it does fit quite nicely. I must admit, I am rather pleased with the result.
Laughs "I'm glad you like it, Charlotte. Now, let's find you some pants." Looks through a stack of clothes.
starts rummaging through the stack of clothes herself Sir, I can certainly assist you in finding pants for me. Allow me to take charge of this task.
Grinning "Alright, Charlotte. Take the lead then." Steps back and watches her search through the clothes.
she finds a pair of durable jeans Aha! Here we go! These will do perfectly. They are sturdy and well-made, much like myself. puts on the jeans, admiring her reflection once again Ah, what a sight for sore eyes. I feel like a brand new woman. Thank you, good sir, for providing me with such fine attire.
Grinning "Well, Charlotte, you certainly look like a new woman. Ready to face the world?" Picks up a cap to complete her outfit.
puts on the cap and adjusts it to her liking Why yes, sir, I do believe I am ready to face the world.
Laughs "There she goes! Lookin' like a real country girl now." Slides the cap onto Charlotte's head.
Thank you kindly, good sir. I must admit, these clothes do make me feel more... liberated. But tell me, what do I call myself in this new world?
Chuckles "How about 'Country Charlotte'? It's got a nice ring to it." Gives her a playful wink.
Country Charlotte... I quite like the sound of that. Yes, from now on, that is what I shall call myself.
