Spring 25, Year 1

With all the strangeness going on, Mayor Lewis decides to go visit Avalon Farm to lock up a few things just in case the odd deer got into trouble. As he was checking the shipping bin to check if the local teens were hiding things here, (at least before the deer showed up) he noticed it was surprisingly full. Various forage and a few spoiled fish. Parsnips and carrots and potatoes with dirt still on them. Kale and cauliflower with leaves shredded by something sharp. A few gemstones from the mines.

Lewis collects these as he does with the other shipping bins, and though most of it would have to be thrown away, there was still some good things. Why would these be here? Looking around, Lewis pulled out a few coins from his pocket, scratching an X onto the flat edge of every one. He dropped the coins into the bin, closing it, but not locking it yet. He'd have a talk with all of the vendors in town to keep an eye out for the marked coins. If the teens were still hanging out here, or using the shipping bin for rubbish, he'd get to the bottom of it and have a talk with them about private property and going somewhere a potentially dangerous wild animal was lingering.

Oh, there was Emily's old drop cloth. Might as well use that to help lug these back to town. There's some small holes, but it'll do for this short trip, then back into the bin.

Things different from canon; (AU???)
- Gramps never had an heir, or they never show/ed up.
- Special new farm map; Frontier Farm!
- Stardew Valley Expanded; new maps, new NPCs, new events, a LOT of new stuff.
- The new “Farmer” is just a Weird Ass Deer. NPCs will respond/react accordingly.

This is my first time playing Stardew Valley Expanded, so I’m learning as I go. (Please no spoilers if you play SVE)
