Week 2

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.

house 8;

[transfusionem]

[Someone's been busy, it seems. Adelaide can't help but be surprised at what she sees at the eighth house, and she's drawn to it.

The smell of the soup helps.]

Oh, wow.

[She stops to investigate the arcade machine.]

This is pretty nice.

[conceptualize]

Isn't it? Hello, Adelaide. Feel free to have a seat.

[ Anywhere, really. ]

Would you like a bowl of soup?

[transfusionem]

[She slides onto one of the log chairs, propping her elbows on the table.]

Sure! It smells delicious.

[She's so ready for some food.]

[conceptualize]

[ Laurent gathers some corn soup in a bowl and puts that in front of Adelaide on the table with a spoon. ]

Dig in.

[ Then he'll sit on the opposite side. ]

[transfusionem]

Thanks!

[She'll tuck in, trying to mind her manners.]

You've been busy building all of this, huh?

[conceptualize]

[ Adelaide could be 1000x sloppy and Laurent wouldn't mind. ]

I've been keeping myself busy. How about you? Been doing well?

[transfusionem]

Better than some people.

[Like Dokja... Poor guy.]

Spending a lot of time learning how to cook in the brick oven Scintilla made. It's pretty different from a normal oven!

[conceptualize]

[ No wonder he has giant panda circle around his eyes... Laurent sometimes feels bad for Dokja too. ]

Could I try a sample some time? It sounds like an interesting way to cook something.

[transfusionem]

[Dokja suffers so much? Most of it because of Joonghyuk, probably.]

Of course! You can even come over and give it a try if you want.

[conceptualize]

[ The invite makes Laurent smile, but then he remembers that Scintilla is a worldhopping godslayer.

...

It's not fear, but... it's something else. ]

It won't burn my hand or anything?

[transfusionem]

[It's fine, it's fine. She's got no reason to kill him.]

Not unless you do something really stupid and ill-advised. And I'll be there to help!

[conceptualize]

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I'd never want to burn my hand on purpose, after all.

[ Hands are useful. Fire also hurts. ]

Anything interesting you've seen recently? Other than the brick oven.

[transfusionem]

I'd hope not, yeah.

[Only be an idiot on accident!]

Hm... Well, I got a fax machine, but I don't know if there's anyone to fax or anyone that could fax me.

[conceptualize]

A fax machine... I feel like I went back in time about 30 years.

[ What an ancient artifact. ]

Maybe if someone else receives one, you can send faxes back and forth?

[transfusionem]

Right?! It's so weird...

[She looks thoughtful for a moment.]

Like sending the least subtle secret messages? You can't exactly fax someone quietly.

[She assumes.]

[conceptualize]

It'll be like old fashioned penpals with a lot more noise.

[ He laughs a little. ]

Especially when you're jailed inside your own house for some reason.

[ Maybe the fax machine is better for Dokja... ]

[transfusionem]

I'm sure my roommates'll love it.

[Maybe she should give it to him... He could send out an SOS.]

This entire island was almost a jail. Could you imagine?

[It would've been great.]

[conceptualize]

[ Laurent would make an offhand remark about how the island is technically a jail already, but he won't say that... ]

Oh, are you talking about the name poll? It looks like some people are pretty persistent about that name. There was even a signpost right outside the bouncy castle.

[transfusionem]

[It's furry jail for furry crimes.

But also be a bit more optimistic! Geez!]

That doesn't surprise me at all. Kids love memes, you know!

[Adelaide you're only 21 stop talking like you're some middle aged woman trying to be hip]

[conceptualize]

[ Okay, Laurent can't help but laugh a little at that. Oh my god. ]

Adelaide... how old are you?

[transfusionem]

[What did she say...]

Twenty-one.

[conceptualize]

You can be a kid at heart too.

[ Yeah. No shame. ]

Memes transcend ages, so anyone can enjoy them. Though, it's pretty interesting--different worlds sharing the same thing.

[transfusionem]

Are you?

[She is, at least, not embarrassed. Which is probably good?]

Yeah...But it's nice having that common ground with people, even if it's over something as stupid as Gay Baby Jail. Makes us feel more like people who could be friends, if we met back home.

[conceptualize]

I played in the bouncy castle for an hour. I don't have regrets doing it.

[ He hopes that answers your question, Adelaide. ]

I can't believe, out of all things, the things that unite various foreigners are memes.

[ Sometimes Laurent wonders if this is all just one big fever dream. ]

[transfusionem]

Heh. And here I thought you were the stuffy type.

[Which is obviously teasing.]

Can't you? People'll unite over what's most familiar, and humor can be so universal.

[Though it could be a fever dream.]
