Week 2

[vellamods]

WEEK 2 LOG ♬
Weather: Cloudy Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday AM and rainy PM; clear skies Thursday and Friday AM, slightly cloudy PM

Arrival

A full week has come and gone, and you may be left with more questions than answers. There’s no word on the progress of figuring out how to get all of you home just yet -- you only have the land, an abandoned sea plane, your new homes and a garden to get you through this upcoming week.

...So far, that is.

Come Monday at nine AM though, Tom Nook does his morning announcements once more. Seems like he has something new for you to work with:

“Good morning, Isle Sonrisa! Great news -- we now have a grocery store up and running for everyone! The grocery store is located right about House #5, and it has a wide selection of foods and ingredients for you to choose from. While we’re still mailing kitchen equipment over to all of you, food shouldn’t be a problem any longer. The grocery store will be run by my apprentices…Timmy and Tommy!

We also have tulips in stock, now! Red, white, and yellow are our only colors, but I've heard that sometimes watering them next to one another may give you new colors. Perhaps you can try that out yourselves, yes?”

He’s very happy about this announcement. He knows how much you all wanted your food, after all! Time to continue with the announcements, though:

“The only other thing I have for you this morning is very, very important. I know there are many of you here on the island already, but assuming that most of you will be going back home, we need to get more permanent residents on the island. Yes, yes. Permanent residents from this world who may be interested in experiencing life on an island!

What I’m asking all of you to do is to prepare housing plots for our new residents. I’ve already designated areas on the island for them, and as such, your Nook Phones now have a map app so you can see where the new land plots will be. Yes, yes. Now, to prepare the first housing plot… I need the following:

1 Log Dining Table
1 Log Extra-long Sofa
1 Log Decorative Shelves
1 Log Wall-mounted Clock

If none of you have a DIY for any item in particular, I’ll go ahead and send the DIY recipe for it to your phones. It will show up in all of your DIY apps.”

He smiles at everyone with his trademark tanuki grin.

“And that’s about all I have for you today! Good luck, everyone!”



Possible Objectives

1. Help Tom Nook prepare a housing plot for a potential new resident!
2. Stock up on food and cook for yourselves and your fellow residents.
3. More to come this week...

NOTE: The map app will have a picture map that correlates to the one on the Locations page. There will be a list of resident names when you click on the tents. The map on the locations page will be updated OOCly later on Monday night.

[turntoashes]

so just how many of us got things from Timmy and Tommy last week

and how many of us are not surprised they work with Nook?

[conceptualize]

Considering they're Nook's apprentices, that's not surprising.

They worked hard to deliver all that, didn't they?

[turntoashes]

we know they're his apprentices now but I didn't when I got 20+ things from them in the mail

and how did they deliver all of that without waking anyone up?

[conceptualize]

The same way we woke up in houses instead of tents.

It may not make much sense, but it makes things very convenient and it would just hurt heads if anyone tried thinking about it logically.

[turntoashes]

you're probably right

[conceptualize]

Do you like this sort of convenience?

[turntoashes]

it's weird

[livefreely]

i got bombarded with items!

they seem to also be tanuki, so maybe they're related?!

[turntoashes]

they are?

his sons, maybe?

[Wait, does he want to think about Tom Nook having offspring...]

[livefreely]

or cousins!

or younger brothers!

[turntoashes]

Nook has to be too old for brothers young enough to be apprentices

besides, what parent names two kids "Tom"?

[livefreely]

it's tom and tommy.

it's cute!!

and you know what they say about assuming, don't you?

[turntoashes]

ass, you, me, yes I know

but Tommy is just short for Thomas

so is Tom

[jokersonyou]

The giant pile I got delivered to me was from them. I'm definitely not surprised.

[turntoashes]

I swear if he's a mafia boss

[jokersonyou]

If he is, he's nothing like the mafia bosses I've met. Well, I've only met one, which is honestly one more than a person ever should meet.

[turntoashes]

what, the mafia boss you met wouldn't kidnap people and stick them on a deserted island and make them prepare housing for actual residents

wait

no that doesn't sound like a crime boss at all

it sounds like military police

[jokersonyou]

He was more into the extorting vulnerable teenagers for money kind of thing. Tom Nook hasn't asked for money yet, but you do have a point about the labor...

[turntoashes]

hopefully it's not going to be a habit

or he at least just asks if we want to help

[whereswalder]

Oh no, I didn’t get anything from them! Do you think I offended them somehow?

[turntoashes]

since some of us got 20+ things, maybe they just didn't get to you

[whereswalder]

Oh, I see! That’s good, then. It feels kind of like Santa, if you think about it...

[turntoashes]

How?

[whereswalder]

The mysterious presents from nowhere, of course!

[turntoashes]

I guess maybe

though it's the wrong time of year
