Winter 4, Year 1

Beep found a mysterious note today in a catalogue that confirmed a quest he had finished mid-Fall that consisted of;
- Battery in the tunnel
- Rainbow Shell at the train station
- Put 10 beets in someone's fridge??????
- The solar essence took Beep a few tries to figure out
- All that just to search the wood pile at the farm house

That was a lot of effort only to be told today that he wasn't allowed back inside the Casino. He only wanted inside because the catalogue said there was a rare scarecrow exclusive to the Oasis Casino! Thankfully Mr.Qi seemed sympathetic to his quest to collect all the Rarecrows, and offered an exchange of labour for the items exchanged for the Qi Coins being gambled with. This worked, because Beep had no desire to gamble, and he was pretty sure Mr.Qi would rather not have something upsetting the Casino's patrons.

For the Rarecrow, a cat thing, and some Farm Totems, all Beep needed to do was collect three Prismatic Shards from the Skull Cavern nearby. Such a task was preferable to depending on luck, and while it took all day (and left him covered in rock dust), Beep was able to find the items just after nightfall. He put the Prismatic Shards in a box left out for him behind the Oasis shop, then noticed a larger box next to it with a simplistic drawing of a deer with wings. Thankfully the box would make bringing them home easier, since Beep could just push the box with his head. Getting it on and off the bus would be a bit tricky though...

That was a task for after a bath. He was all dusty and extremely thankful the Calico Desert was at least a tiny bit warmer than the valley. A short dip in an oasis nearby solved the dirty deer problem. He also found an old towel draped over a young palm tree (assumed to be left by Mr.Qi somehow) that he could use to dry off before going back to freezing his tail off.

I'll be honest, this was the only time I can think of even as far as Fall Year 3 that I used the cheat menu. I fucking hate gambling games and things based on luck. Add in that I have no fucking clue how most of the minigames worked, it pissed me off enough I just gave myself the qi coins and got the stuff that way. I still have yet to go back. >_>

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)
