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!)

Please, come in.
[ Dokja looks bemused by it and shuffles back into the house so he can make his way to sitting on a nearby sitting area. Of course he weakly smacks Joonghyuk's arm as he passes. Wrapping the blanket around himself, he curiously adds. ] What kind of medications did you make back in your world-line? If you don't mind my asking.
no subject
"World-line" is an interesting way of phrasing it, and a more fitting one than most would realize. Hm. Maybe he'll ask sometime if there was a particular reason for going with that over the simpler "world" everyone else here uses. ]
Mostly pain medicines for treating the side effects of the technology I specialize in, but I've also made some improvements to our standard formulas for other types of drugs -- antibiotics and so on. Granted, I'm not usually making those other types from scratch, but I've come up with some crude formulas in emergency situations that have worked well enough.
no subject
He hasn't gotten a chance to read the network, but he can connect the dots and turns to Dokja— ]
You intend to be a guinea pig? [ Unhappy. ] You might become sicker than you are. Side effects can be unpredictable.
no subject
He's about to say something before Joonghuyk beats him to it. Yeah, he kinda expected his companion to have this kind of reaction. He would be a bit more wary himself but he's sick and you know what? He's willing. ] I would be more worried if he didn't seem like he knew what he was talking about. [ No offense. ] If it isn't me, it's likely someone else to be a guinea pig. Since I'm already sick anyways it's a good opportunity.
no subject
Precisely. You can hardly test for effectiveness on a healthy person, so this is a prime opportunity to prepare ourselves for the next time someone falls ill. Especially given our situation -- living in shared rooms in a place with no medical facilities or reliable transport -- we should take every precaution we can, don't you think?
no subject
There should be reimbursement.
[ He crosses his arms. It's merely a suggestion that would put him at ease... In the end, he isn't stopping his companion and the doctor from continuing. ]
no subject
And what he asks for isn't demanding too much. He looks to see what the doctor will say, especially since he hastily grabs a nearby tissue to sneeze into. Ugh. He's gonna lean back in his seat some more to relax don't mind him. ]
I think that should be fine.
no subject
In the event that it doesn't, however, I'm willing to offer some bells as compensation.
[ Or a recipe for a butter churn. ]
no subject
Consider him placated. ]
no subject
[ Joonghyuk isn't saying anything, and Dokja is fine with that so he'll go with it. Though he shifts where he sits with wrapping the blanket around him more as if cold. ]
Since this world-line works a bit differently, for example food and plantlife growing in three days time.. I'm wondering if I should expect some quick results?
no subject
[ There we go with world-lines again... ]
I'm curious about that as well. It sounds like this supposed cold of yours came on faster than one would normally expect, so it's plausible that every type of life here could be on a similarly accelerated life cycle.
[ He'll be getting up in Dokja's business for a moment to check for any symptoms of it being anything beyond a cold that could pose a problem -- checking his eyes, temperature, whatever. Doing his due diligence since this other guy is watching him so intensely!! ]
Where were you stung by that scorpion?
no subject
[ Dokja is aware that Joonghyuk will continue to watch on in mostly silence unless he has something to say. He was never one to talk a lot in the first place so Dokja can do most of the talking for them. The fact he thinks that kind of makes him want to laugh.
He allows the basic routines with little to no complaints and ensures with each one he's fine otherwise. It's the question that has him humming with thought. ]
I believe around my ankles. [ Which he'll slightly pull both pant legs up a bit to expose only the skin there. ] I already looked for a mark but I couldn't find one.
no subject
Huh. Well, that might support our theory, then.
[ Too bad you were too busy passing out to take a picture of what the puncture site looked like at the time!! ]
In any case, I'm not seeing any other physical symptoms that would make me wary of using this. Do you have any allergies that you're aware of -- particular drugs, foods, venoms?
no subject
No, nothing comes to mind. [ Thinking of his history, and his current state of health, there shouldn't be any bad reactions. Though he understands the procedures and what needs to be discussed before they go right into the medicine taking. ]
no subject
All right. Then let's give it a try.
[ Standing up straight again and putting a respectable distance between them, he unrolls the folded-over top of the paper bag. ]
It's a powder, so we'll just need a glass of water or something to mix it into.
no subject
Here you go. [ He sets it in front of the other man, eyes watching the paper bag with the same curiosity. ]
no subject
Thank you.
[ He'll carefully pour about half of the contents of the bag -- a greenish powder, but that probably makes sense since it's mostly made out of plants -- into the water and let it dissolve.
And then he'll slide it back over. ]
All right, then, here you are. It will be a little bitter.
no subject
Nothing too unusual with most medicine. [ He cracks a smile, before he pauses and glances briefly to Joonghyuk until he downs the glass entirely. There's no hiding the face he makes at the bitterness. Hugh. He could have done with being sick enough that his taste buds didn't work but. Oh well. ]
I suppose there's no hope in expecting immediate results?
no subject
[ He hums thoughtfully for a moment, then shrugs. ]
Well. Ordinarily I'd say no, but as we've been saying, who knows, with the way things work here?
Of course I suppose the fact that you're asking means results aren't instantaneous, at least.
[ Maybe you just need to do a little flourish reaction first. ]
no subject
[ Of course, he's hoping it takes less than that. He'd rather be up and walking around in no time rather than stay stuck in bed for no more than one day. ]
no subject
[ Since getting results is kind of part of the deal here. ]
We can also look at trying another dose tomorrow, depending on how you feel then. So if I don't hear from you, I'll follow up.
no subject
[ Of course, if he gets worse, then that's something else to discuss. ] If I don't keep you updated, my companion here will.
no subject
I will contact you.
[ Maybe contact is light if anything happened to Dokja... ]
no subject
Then I'll be looking forward to it.
