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!)

If you can't properly feed yourself, you'll make a mess on the bed.
[ That's the reasoning. ]
no subject
That's a very Yoo Joonghyuk answer.
[ He's. Laughing. He leans back against the headboard of the bed, feeling his head spin at the sudden spur of laughter. His cheeks still feel warm and he kinda wishes he had just a regular cold without the fever. Sighs. ] I am a little shaky so admittedly I'm a bit afraid to try.
no subject
Don't eat like you need a bib or he'll kill you. ]
no subject
... He kinda wants to die though. The heat feels more obvious, finding it a bit hot suddenly. Watching as the man works on cooling it and he looks away from him even as it's offered up to him. Ugh... This is really, really embarrassing. Is this what someone would call a feverish dream? It doesn't feel like it's actually happening.
Knowing Joonghyuk is gonna only get mad the longer he takes he leans in for the bite carefully. As he takes the spoonful of food, a hand raises to press the back of it to his mouth as he quietly chews. As though self conscious by the act. It would have been better if Yoo Joonghyuk just killed him instead. ]
no subject
Stop making that expression.
[ Gross. ]
no subject
[ You're gross!! Aaaaahhhh. Cheeks puff out, shooting a weak glare at him. Says the man literally feeding him like a child or even.. Actually, he doesn't want to think any further. He's going to sink further in the bed and promptly lifts the blankets over his head.
.. Yeah. With a muffled "Jerk." He did briefly consider tossing a pillow at him but then that might ruin the food. The rice porridge deserves better. ] I'm not hungry anymore.
[ It's a lie. The food was really delicious and his stomach growls. ]
no subject
I already made you your porridge. [ HELLO?!??! ] Sit back up.
[ This spoonful is ready and he's been holding it for some time! ]
no subject
He sighs out. The blanket lowers, scowling with a weak glare as his ears stay pinned back. There's the audible thumps of his tail as it beats lightly atop the mattress. ] Leave my face out of it then.
[ God. What did he do to deserve this treatment? Dokja makes note to himself to never get sick ever again. ] Is this how you always treat the sick?
[ It takes him a moment to sit properly back, trying to ignore how he struggles lightly. He leans in for the next bite, turning his head away after to pointedly avoid Joonghyuk seeing his face at all. Yeah, he's that self conscious now, leave him alone!! ]
no subject
I'm already feeding you. What else is there?
[ Shut up! Eat the food! Joonghyuk glares at the back of his head when he gives him that attitude, but prepares the next spoonful... Only because he doesn't have a third arm to grab Dokja by the jaw and force him in the ideal angle for feeding. ]
no subject
[ Yeah! Yeah!! Dokja turns back to him, catching that glare and only makes a look back. Don't look at him like that? He would say something along the lines of "don't force yourself" but he remembers something Adelaide said earlier. "Doing something I want to do isn't forcing myself to do anything." Of course Joonghyuk really makes it seem like Dokja will make a mess of himself. If he did have that much trouble feeding himself, he probably would've just went back to sleep until he wasn't as shaky.
He takes another bite, this time looking distracted as he falls into his thoughts. ]
no subject
... It won't do you good if you think too much.
[ For once, Joonghyuk admits that Dokja thinks rather than calling him a fool that doesn't think at all. He brings another spoonful and gently cools it with less time than before. The porridge went from a scalding hot to a comfortable heat now, so he can proceed to feed his companion faster. He offers it again, say ahhh. ]
no subject
His tail swishes over the blankets as he subconsciously starts to hum. It's good, the food. He had some of Adelaide's cooking earlier but.. it definitely does not compare to Joonghyuk's cooking. Sorry, Adelaide. Ears twitch, blinking as he looks at his companion before he frowns. Is this a jab? He opens his mouth, likely to retort, but finds another spoonful entering his mouth. He squints but takes it and chews with a quiet sound as he keeps his mouth closed. He's not an animal, after all. ] Hmph.
no subject
Preen himself. ]
It's good, isn't it.
no subject
Only for a moment. Lips twitching, trying to fight the amusement that wants to lift the ends of his mouth. He takes the bite, trying to play it off casually as he enjoys the bite with less obviousness. After, he gives a light shrug. ] I guess so.
[ It isn't as if Yoo Joonghyuk needs Dokja's compliments to validate his cooking so why bother telling him? ]
no subject
The back of his hand rests on his forehead. It's a bit hot, though cooler than the night before. ]
Are you planning to take a shower?
[ Joonghyuk's locks eyes with him, obviously disapproving. ]
no subject
..Has he ever been cared for like this before? Maybe as a child, by his Mother.. it's hard to remember since it's been so long ago. Almost as if it's likely never happened before. However, at the inquiry, he looks at him is if the idea is troublesome.
He's already leaning back in bed, wanting to grumble. ] Maybe later.
no subject
You're not showering today.
[ That's a command. ]
no subject
I mean, I should at least before I go to bed tonight.. I'm kinda sweating already. [ The fever isn't overwhelming, but it's enough to have his body in a bit of a sweat. With the occasional chills now and then. Though he's become an expert at hiding his body's sickly shuddering. He says as his teeth literally chatters with what he just said. Expert, by the way. ]
no subject
[ A shower when you're this sick isn't good! But this also means that Dokja will need to strip and also let someone wash his back. While Joonghyuk hasn't said anything, he already took it upon himself since they only have Kairi in this house. If they were home, maybe he would have left it to Hyunsung or Sookyung.
His responsibility now. ]
no subject
..I could do that, yeah. [ How hard would it be to wipe himself down? He's squinting again as if trying to concentrate on something suddenly hard. He's.. not exactly the most flexible, his back may be hard to reach but it's fine if it's just a wipe down. ]
no subject
It seems like they only know what the other is thinking when it comes to life-or-death galaxy brain situations. ]
Take off your shirt.
no subject
Before he blinks a few times, then a bit of a hysteric laugh leaves him. ] Huh? What? Why?
[ It's obvious why-- ] You don't have to force yourself to do any of this, you know. I can just.. [ He's sitting up properly, even moving to turn but a dizzy spell hits him and he braces himself with a hand on the bed. Ugh, his vision is still spinning. ] --I can do it myself?
no subject
If you don't take off your shirt, I'll do it for you, Kim Dokja.
no subject
[ For the love of.. Dokja can feel himself sweating, but for another reason now. It takes only a moment to struggle with it, but he manages to shrug it off on his own as the fabric ruffles his hair up and ears flicker wildly.
He's not entirely plain despite how he was at the beginning. It's nothing impressive, but he does have a few scars littered across his body from various fights. More notable is those and the burns from the probability storm he weathered after Gigantomachia. It's sometimes strange to look at himself after everything.
He cautiously looks at Joonghyuk, ears pressing back with his tail noisily thumping against the bed. ]
no subject
He places a hand on his companion's shoulder and gently guides him to lean forward. Placing the warm towel on his back, he starts wiping off all that sweat. See how pleasant this is? ]
