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.



    Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday


    (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!)

[ It isn't as if Dokja believes Yoo Joonghyik isn't capable of making any other expressions that isn't a frown or scowl. However, it's very different seeing it. He's read it a few times throughout Ways of Survival. A look of arrogance, confidence.. but his own expression is blank as he looks at it.

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? ]

[ Yeah, he doesn't need Dokja's compliments. He remembers the face the other man made when he ate his cooking back at home—it's to be expected, of course. His cooking is good. They're down to their last scoops of porridge and when Dokja's done, he wipes his lips with a napkin before checking his temperature.

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. ]

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-15 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Dokja makes a face at the wipe of that napkin, looking on the verge to probably complain but he's quickly hushed by the feel of that hand against his forehead. Rather, it shuts him up pretty quickly. He still feels the heat lingering on his cheeks but he manages to downplay it a lot. Tries not to think how comforting that hand feels on his forehead.

..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.

[ Dokja... Joonghyuk's frown grows, but they quirk back to normal. This reaction is to be expected and his shoulders drop. ]

You're not showering today.

[ That's a command. ]

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-16 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ For a moment, Dokja expected Joonghyuk to argue with him? Wait, why does it sound like he's ordering him not to shower? Excuse me. ]

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. ]

Wipe it down with a towel.

[ 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.

[ Guess who doesn't have that exact same thought as Joonghyuk? This guy. Clearly as he takes in the idea, tilting his head. ]

..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. ]

[ Joonghyuk leaves the room without notice, then comes back with a wet warm towel. He's ready now and it's time to inflict reality onto Dokja. They may be companions, but...

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.

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-17 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
...? [ Okay, weirdo. Randomly leaving in the middle of the conversation? He doesn't think anything of it, laying back with a close of his eyes. However, ears flicker when he hears the returning footsteps and lashes flutter open with a glance over.

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?

[ Joonghyuk hovers over Dokja while clutching onto the towel rather tightly as he glares him down. You look dizzy? You can barely sit up?! ]

If you don't take off your shirt, I'll do it for you, Kim Dokja.

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-17 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Wh- No! Don't! I- [ Heaves a sound between a grumble and sigh. ] Fine, I'll do it just.. give me a second, will you?!

[ 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. ]

[ Good. Joonghyuk is satisfied with Dokja's compliance based on the sway of his tail. His eyes do glaze over the scars he sees... They're familiar to him and he can probably guess where Dokja received some. Other are a mystery to him, however.

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?

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-17 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ A remark dies on the end of his tongue at the guide, sighing out instead and listens. It's a bit of an awkward angle but he manages to at least fold his now sweaty shirt for cleaning later. Though he can't help but notice the spot that Joonghyuk touches is strangely hot, but it's probably because he's very much aware of the contact.

Distracting him enough that as soon as the towel presses onto skin he emits a surprised sound. It does shift into a soft sigh, because it.. does feel pleasant. Of course, at the same time, it's very strange. Because Yoo Joonghyuk is wiping down the sweat from his body. It's like some weird twisted feverish dream?

Han Sooyoung would likely comment on how they're behaving too much like an old couple. His face burns more and he chooses to bury his face into his what feels to be cold sheets. Maybe it would've been better if he was just drenched in cold water. His tail stills during the process with the occasional twitch, head tilting and he eyes his companion again. Before he realizes it, the words are leaving him. ]


Why are you doing this? [ Why is he.. taking such good care of him? ]

[personal profile] regression 2020-07-17 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Joonghyuk makes sure Dokja's back is clean before holding out the towel for him to take. He did say he can do it himself, so he'll leave the rest of his body to him. It is, in the end, his responsibility. ]

You would start smelling.

[ What? He isn't sure what Dokja is asking since he thinks this is normal... Sure, he doesn't always seem to be the type to care for his comrades, but he is.. However, he treats his younger sister better than everyone else. Dokja, unfortunately, is very unwelll from his assessment.

As he leaves him to that, he goes to fetch a new pair of clothes for the other man to wear.
]

When you're done, change clothes. [ Don't wear dirty clothes!! ] You can leave the towel on the stool.

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-17 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ Smelling? That was why? Dokja just blankly stares at him, even as he takes the towel in hand. For a moment he just holds it, blinking slowly and absentmindedly starts to wipe down his arms and front of his chest. He looks over as his companion reenters with a set of clothes and he realizes now what he should do next.

Finish wiping himself down, change into clothes as he says.. then maybe he should go back to sleep. His thoughts are befuddled and he's only more confused. ..Smelling. He did it because otherwise he would start smelling. Who does that? Who says that? Yoo Joonghyuk... who are you?? ]


..Right. [ A look of uncertainty, but he buries his face a little into the warm towel after. It feels good. ] I'll finish the rest myself then, don't let me hold you back from whatever you had plans for today.

[personal profile] regression 2020-07-17 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's just hiding the fact that he wants to make sure Dokja is well taken care of?! But he also doesn't want his companion smelling. His eyebrows arch when he sees his expression, frown twitching as a question settles on his tongue.

But Dokja is right. He should go on with his plans.

If I see you outside, I will kill you.

[ Understood? ]
