In-Character
Read the following prompt:
The rhythmic lull of hoofbeats are a marching drum to the small group of pioneers and variety of folk you have found yourself amongst, packed into a wobbling wagon. The rolling plains of the Southern Reach and a clear sky stretch out all around you, the buzz of excited chatter a dull wash in your ears as your mind strays to your former life and what has led you here to new lands.
“Nervous?”
You blink, returning to the present moment. A kindly older woman sat near you is smiling warmly with a crinkle to her eyes.
“I can tell it’s your first time. Still remember mine,” she flashes a grin and leans in.
“Tell me my dear, why have you come to the Reach?”
How do you respond (in character)? (150 words minimum)
The traveler offers a ready smile, the lines by their eyes creasing. Joy comes easily to the older fellow addressed by the woman. "Ah, can you?" Oliver chuckled, a gloved hand rising to rub the back of their neck. "Yes, I suppose I am nervous. I'm looking for a change in scenery, is all. I've lived in my neck of the woods hunting and sleeping under the stars for the past, ah, thirty years or so?" They offered a hand out to her to shake, delight in meeting a kind stranger exceeding any nervousness they had for the trip. "Real nice to meet you, miss. I'm Oliver, what can I call you?" Once the name was offered and hand shaken, they drew back and sat up straight. Looking out towards the gathered group of folks also on the journey. "Nervous, yes," They repeated, almost to themself. "But very excited, too. Not too late to start a new life, y'know?"

Brief Physical Description: Oliver is a healthy adult, strapped in basic travelers gear. They carry cooking utensils, a roll with various knives and hunting implements. Various knicks and scrapes mark a life living rough in the wilds, but the healing of them displays a sense of preservation and tenacity. They smile easily and have a kind voice, beckoning strangers on the road a sit and a meal to listen to their story. Mid-length dark hair, wrinkles and witty, intelligent eyes.
