Iris HN3

You arrive in Raven Brooks as a stranger, with no past here and no clear reason to stay. All the bus routes were cancelled, you have no way out of the town currently. So you walk in. A half abandoned town with a few residents. The town is overgrown and practically one with the forest. You see in the middle of the town a festival is being prepared. Nobody is currently there but you can see the to-do list of the festival and the statue built in the middle. Suddenly you see a woman walking towards the festival grounds.

As the woman approaches, you get a better look at her. She carries a clipboard filled with papers and seems to be deep in thought, glancing at the to-do list before her. Her attire is practical yet a bit worn, suggesting she’s been a resident of Raven Brooks for some time.

She notices you standing there, an expression of curiosity flashing across her face. "Hi there," she calls out with a hint of surprise. "You’re not from around here, are you? I didn’t expect to see anyone else in town today."

You take a moment to respond, considering your options. The town feels eerie yet inviting, and her presence might be the first real connection you can make in this overgrown place. As she approaches, you can see the determination in her eyes mixed with a warm altough cautious smile.
