[Open] All the Leaves are Brown
Who: Sally Boyle and you!
What: Arrival, opening up shop, a few odds and ends.
When: From now until it is no longer useful!
Where: Jack's Marina and around town.
Warning(s): Illicit substances, references to the death of a child, possibly more. Will update as needed!
-I've Been for a Walk-
To Yorick's credit, he did his best to lead Sally through the motions of getting settled in Pumpkin Hollow. He was kind and patient and a silly old thing. And yes, the town is cursed, room at the inn, work options, food vouchers, blah blah, that's all well and good but the whole time Sally had only one thing on her mind.
Where is Gwen?
The very minute that Yorick and Mayor Poe turn her loose again, she forgoes the tavern entirely and makes a beeline straight for the beach. Huddled in the sand, she sits and watches the docks with her rail-thin legs hugged tightly to her chest, hoping to see the ferryman return with her infant daughter.
Part of her hopes he doesn't. Because that would mean...
But if she isn't here, then what happened to her? If Sally didn't survive the crash, where does that leave Gwen? At least if she was here, they wouldn't have to be apart. Sally could find a way back... for both of them. Or maybe make a new life for the pair of them here. But what if little Gwen didn't get that chance?
It will be a while before the ferryman returns, but he will bring Guinevere Boyle with him. However, Sally doesn't know that. So she will wait here on the beach even as night falls.
-He Knows I'm Gonna Stay-
It takes a few days, but once Gwen arrives and Sally signs up for work as a physician, the pair are finally settled in. (Sally makes it clear to Mayor Poe that her expertise is in pharmaceuticals and she is, first and foremost, a chemist, but that she's got a lot of experience with first aid as well.) It's a small place, but it's theirs. A small drugstore and simple clinic with a small apartment on the upper floor. It has a study, but Sally converts it to a nursery.
Thus, the Blackberry Apothecary is born.
Basic clinic services and injury treatment is available here, along with all manner of helpful medicines made from local herbs.
And maybe some more interesting things if you ask the right questions. She does, after all, remember the recipe for Joy.
-California Dreamin'-
With Gwen strapped to her chest and a bag slung over her back, Sally ventures out into the woodlands to collect necessary herbs and flowers for her apothecary before the chill kills them off. Sage and rosemary, ginseng and yarrow, foxglove and poppy. If anyone approaches her while she's out foraging, she'll spit out a customary Wellington Wells greeting like a reflex.
"Lovely day for it!"

Hawkeye turns a page to note down what Sally says, nodding.
"Oh hey- I know Eddie, real swell guy. That's good to know- I don't know how much fruit I'm gonna be getting in my groceries, but I'll see what I can do. You need a hand with anything else? Don't know how much use I'll be but I've got a still up and running if you need alcohol for a tincture or something."

"Anyway, I can't think of anything else I need at the mo', but I'll be sure to let you know!" Sally's smile returns quickly. "By the way, you settling in alright?"

"Oh, it's been great. I'm half considering seeing if I can find any fleas to make myself feel more at home. Maybe give myself dysentery for old time's sake. It's so homey here I don't know what to do with myself. This is the longest stretch of uninterrupted sleep I've had since I was a kid."
