There is no life more idealistic than that in the Good Ol' Country, and none better within it than within the humble, cozy little town of Briarpatch, where everyone knows one another, there's always a pie baking at the bakery, and where every day is as perfect and ideal as the last. You won't find a place more welcoming than it, even if you are a little odd. Who isn't? Which is a good thing, because when a strange, naked Fox wanders into town, they'll find the newcomer more than a 'little' odd.(Starting life as a Quest I did years ago, I've decided to reconfigure it into a story to be enjoyed without the voting element as a first time project in doing so.)
