Week 2
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.
(OOC: Welcome to Week 2! A reminder that Mod Coco who plays Tom Nook has work and will not be able to NPC throughout the week. Please direct all questions to the FAQ under the Week 2 top level.
Here's this week's Weekly Plotting Post for you all to use!
As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let us know! Have fun!)

He looks up.
And blanches immediately. ]
Hoo.... HOO?!
[ Just... just give him a moment... ]
M-my apologies, I simply--! My goodness, you have been busy catching bugs, I see...!
[ This is his worst nightmare. ]
no subject
[He certainly has?] Yes! I was told you were researching them...
...um...are you alright though, you seem nervous...
[Frankly, Emporio sounds nervous too. It's his natural vocal state, and nothing to really worry about (hopefully Nook's figured that out, the Nooklings definitely guessed), but it sure does leave an impression.] Is this a bad time..?
no subject
[ The small sheep child sounds as nervous as Blathers feels.... ]
But, ah, you brought these in for me? I do have some containers, if you wish to place them inside! I would very much prefer it...
no subject
...I sort of ran out of containers, [he admits, looking down a little shamefully.] These ones seemed to think I was just another flower, so I thought they'd stay still there...
...Do you need help putting them in containers..? ...actually...why are you studying them if you don't like them..?
no subject
... Well, it is nothing we can't see about fixing! I simply panicked for a moment, but that is hardly your fault! Please, let's get those-- [ don't say vile and make him feel worse! ] --critters into their containers, so that they may be safe until I can place them in their own exhibit!
[ And he'll go over to the corner of the tent, and place out a few containers! ]
As for why I am studying them... well, as much as I abhor them, they can be fascinating! And, truly, progress cannot be achieved unless we step out of our comfort zones!
no subject
...That's pretty brave to do, [he murmurs, eyes wide with mild awe.] And really dedicated..!
no subject
[ Sir.... ]
Please, call me Blathers. And I am nothing if not dedicated to my work! It is, of course, less work than it is a passion, but then again, I suppose it could be both!
no subject
[NO!]
I heard from some people that the best way to have work is to enjoy it so...I guess that means you got a 'dream job', huh..?
