Another Week Goes By

Monday morning comes along. It’s a quiet morning, which is much-needed after such a long island adventure. To anyone walking around the island, you’ll notice two things:

The airport is open, but the seaplane is gone.
Also, there’s a familiar face jogging around the perimeter of the housing portion of the island. That familiar face happens to be none other than the ninja rabbit himself, Snake! Looks like he’s already spending his first day on the island getting in shape!

When Tom Nook calls you all over for morning announcements, he looks pleased with himself. Even Snake comes over to join those who gather to listen to the tanuki. “Good morning, everyone! Let’s all give a warm welcome to our new friend, Snake!”

Cue applause. … Hopefully there is some applause, anyway. Snake grins and just looks very happy to be here.

“Next, I’m pleased to announce that the postal service is now open, since Orville is here to manage mail! You’re able to send individual messages to your fellow residents with gifts attached if you'd like, all handwritten if you’d like, yes. Alternatively, you can redeem what are called Nook Miles for items now -- they’re essentially a rewards system, and you can track your rewards on the Nook Miles app on your phone.”

“Essentially, the app will automatically award you for every contribution you add to the island, whether it be decorating your house, harvesting fruit, pulling weeds -- you name it! You can then turn in those Nook Miles at the airport, and that’s how we’ll be delivering items to you in the mail from now on.”

That’ll have the mail system make more sense, at least! Now it’s all on you if you decide to end up with 40 items in the mail all at once.

“The last announcement I have to make is that we’re going to make a second housing plot! The first one was a success, what with Snake moving in, and I’m grateful for Wilbur and Orville’s efforts in helping us build our island. So...with that, I need the following items for the next house:

1 Ironwood Table
2 Ironwood Dressers
1 Ironwood Clock
2 Ironwood Chairs

And just like last week, if nobody on the island has the DIY for these, I will send over the DIYs to your apps.”

He pauses, and then he looks a little...sheepish at this next announcement. “Now, I’m aware that some of you have been building bridges — and now that you all have vaulting poles and ladders, there are untouched parts of the island for you to explore. I’d like to ask you all to consider creating areas outside, such as an exercise area, perhaps even a park of sorts — though we will have someone coming in soon who may need some space.

Finally, this is just a request -- if you have any fossils, bugs, or fish, do turn them in to Blathers! He's very close to hitting his goal before we can open up a museum, so keep that in mind.”

He raises his hand, as if to end the morning announcements. “That’s all for today!”





Possible Objectives

1. Help Tom Nook prepare a housing plot for the second villager house!
2. Get Nook Miles to redeem items at the post office at the airport.
3. Help Blathers by catching and donating specimens.
4. Decorate and explore the untouched part of the island (see locations page; it’s the left hand area)

NOTE: Nook Miles are not a new mechanic and are simply an IC way to justify the rewards system, now! You don't need to keep track of points; just assume the threads you turn in are characters redeeming points for items.

LOST PET



IF FOUND, PLEASE RETURN TO HOUSE 8.

LAST SEEN UP NORTH BEYOND THE RIVER AND AT THE BEACH.

LIKES TO BURY THEMSELVES INTO HOLES.

REWARD: 5000 BELLS EACH

[ A mini-game of some sort. If your character actually tries to go and search for these abominations by digging holes, put a map coordinate in the subject line and I'll let you know if they found a radish or two. This will be left open until both are found. No mandatory participation. ]

[spiritoso]

That's your pet??? (・_・;)

I can try looking around!

[conceptualize]

They're very energetic to the point I lost them.

You really are kind, but don't overwork yourself in doing so. :)

[spiritoso]

Don't worry! I'll be careful.

They like to bury themselves, so I should just dig them up right?

[ She won't even wait for the confirmation, starting to dig near her house in D-3. ]

[transfusionem]

[She gets the feeling this is all just some great big prank or something, but...On the other hand, what's the harm in having fun?]

How loud do they scream?

[conceptualize]

Very loudly, but no one can hear them if they're six feet under.

[transfusionem]

Those poor little mandrakes...

Bug.

[spiritoso]

Are you in a tree?

[southclaw]

no

am riting words

[turnaboutson]

I seem to have come into possession of someone's cell phone. Did someone lose it on their way here?

[livefreely]

that's awfully vague!

i mean, my cell phone's gone missing since i got here!

[turnaboutson]

My apologies. It's grey and has a beaded strap - pink and blue.

[Cell Phone was added to the Court Record.]

mods~!

[turnaboutson]

[In the morning, Edgeworth is going for a leisurely stroll around the beach, trying to relax, and also scouring the shore for bottles. Where do they come from? Another thing to investigate...

Later in the morning, he's shaking two trees, hoping that a wasp nest doesn't fall on his head. Dramatic irony, do your stuff.

In the afternoon, he can be found crafting a pair of ironwood chairs to donate to the housing plot. It's going...well, it could be going better. They're coming along nicely, but he's getting so many splinters.

Later, he's hanging around Leblanc II, having an ill-advised late-day coffee. Caffeine is love, caffeine is life.]

[vellamods]

[ Well, there are no wasps' nests here, but Edgeworth does find a Beekeper's Hive DIY from the bottle!

As for the trees, Edgeworth finds 100 bells and... a Cardboard Box! How exciting! ]

[turnaboutson]

[Yeehaw! A cardboard box! As a cat this is VERY exciting.]

[turnaboutson]

[In the afternoon, Edgeworth is looking at his new Cardboard Box, which used to be in a tree. What is he looking at it for?

Well. He looks around, hoping to ensure nobody is nearby...

...and sits in it.

Cat instincts are too strong even for the quote-unquote dignified among us.]

[sugooooooooi]

Hi! [Serval waves, perched in an actual tree.] What are you doing? That looks fun.

[turnaboutson]

NGHOOOH! [He flails and tips the box over. Remember, always look up, idiot!]

...sitting, [he says, getting up, dusting off his clothes, and righting the box.]

[pinkmacaron]

You look quite comfortable there!

[Sonico had been on her way to find some apples and seen the cute cat in a box. It reminds her of her pets back at home and giggles.]
