A young female cow with a small business aims to travel the world in search of something better.

Business Cow

Lavender sighs while inspecting and tending to her garden. Working as a florist and a baker, the female cow should have plenty of free time to do whatever she wants. While tending to her small garden, Lavender begins to gather some bouquets and individual flowers, putting them in baskets and making her way inside of her workshop.

Lavender’s workshop is a simple shed that has been converted to a workshop to make bouquets with. For the most part, the wooden shelving is clean and neat along with adequate lighting. And the female cow herself has plenty of space to store flowers of different varieties and bouquets she's made. So she should have nothing to worry about, at least.

While Lavender is working on another bouquet, a sudden vibration erupts from her rear pocket where she fishes her phone out. Could it be another customer? When she checks the message to see what it’s all about, her eyes widen - displayed on the message board is her travel application, and it has been finally granted! From seeing this, Lavender begins to dance around, squeaking in delight. “Wheeee!!! My travel has been granted! I can finally fly now!!”

Although she is the owner of her very own florist shop and bakery, Lavender always wanted to travel to the United States. While it holds a special place in her heart, she wants to explore the country to see what it's really like. She is cozy enough in her home country of Indonesia but she feels it is too small for business. Lavender wants to make some kind of expansion so she can have more business, and the United States seems like a better opportunity. For her quest, Lavender will have to make some choices if she wants to keep her businesses running. Thankfully for her, she knows who to call to work things out.

The following work day, Lavender is currently finishing up selling off another bouquet from her shop. The cow turns back to her station, going over the remaining inventory and flowers in her stand. Following her quick inspection, the cow retreats to her office to make a series of phone calls in order to secure her businesses and travel plans. After that was done, Lavender went back to work to resume her shift.

The rest of the work day for Lavender proves to be slow and uneventful; not that much business coming in. But this isn't the only trade she has - the cow also owns a small bakery that is progressing steadily, even more than her floral attraction. This is Lavender's second business and it is progressing quite nicely. However, while Lavender is finding satisfaction with her bakery, she was hoping for the same thing from her floral shop. Not so much progress there. She still has plans to travel the world with the United States being her first initial stop.

Lavender's friendly smile is still plastered on her face despite her business and financial situation. She still didn't lose hope - she is still confident she can reach her goal. It's only a matter of time before her plans are fruitful. And she has one more call to make.

Finishing up another day of business, Lavender is back home, tending to her garden once more. The female cow is looking pale this time, having to put away some dead flowers.

“Aww man! My roses have died! I can't sell these at the marketplace! They have no value!” Lamenting over seeing her now-dead flowers, Lavender has no choice but to bury them. She goes back to inspecting and tending to her garden for the time being until she is ready for another work day. But she is about to receive an unexpected surprise.

While Lavender retreats into her workshop to start making another bouquet, a sudden buzz catches her attention. Retrieving her phone from her rear pocket again, the cow checks out her messages and is overcome with delight - her request to travel has been granted and someone will be coming to keep watch over her businesses! The cow begins dancing in celebration and excitement, weaseling her way out of her workshop.

A few more days of business are completed and Lavender is finally ready to take off. She has just finished packing her things when she receives a sudden phone call. The caller confirms Lavender's airline trip that she booked and wanted to check back with her on it. And after a brief conversation, the cow hangs up. With one of her friends taking over until she returns, the cow begins to finish packing until she leaves for the airport, bound for the United States.

Setting foot into the United States, Lavender gets her very first taste of American soul while departing from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois. This is actually a direct flight destination with its only stop in between being San Antonio International Airport in San Antonio, Texas for drop-off only. The last stop is O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois.

After departing the airport, Lavender began rolling her way towards the Blue Line terminal, having asked for directions to get around the city. The Orange Line terminal is an alternate route, and so is the Pace Suburban Transit terminal. Given the benefit of the doubt, Lavender headed for the Blue Line station in hopes of starting off in exploring the city. She wasn't sure of where she would go but she'll make sure to stop somewhere.

~~~~~

A short ride on the CTA Blue Line leads to Lavender exploring the Rosemont Station for a bit. Hoping to find work in the area, the cow wanders to an attendant booth for assistance where she is directed to a nearby hotel in the area. It was temporary until she could find a suitable housing unit to live in.

Following a quick overview of her hotel room, Lavender collapses on her bed with a huff and retrieves a folded map from her pants pocket. While this shows the entire Chicagoland area and the surrounding suburbs, a better interactive map is on her smartphone. Although Lavender could have begun her new journey in San Antonio, she forwarded herself to Chicago to make her initial stomping grounds in the country. This will be a new step in her global travel on expanding her own business agenda. But for now, all the cow wants to do is unpack and unwind, so she goes about unpacking her suitcase, ready to settle in her new temporary room.
