Week 3 Log
Weather: Sunny and warm AM, cool PM until Friday. Friday - cloudy AM, rainy PM
- 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.
(OOC: Welcome to Week 3! Please direct all questions to the FAQ under the Week 3 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!)

Today's a longer walk, bringing him by Byleth's house, and--]
Is that a matoi?
no subject
[She offers the statue for him to examine.]
It came to me in the mail. I wasn't sure what it was.
Promare spoilers!
[He takes it, turning it over and spinning it a little with a small smile.]
It looks like Galo's. If he were here, he could give you the whole slideshow. The idiot is obsessed with them, to the point that when we were trying to fight Kray he couldn't until I made him one out of my flames.
[A laugh.]
It's got something to do with Japanese firefighters.

[She seems amused at the explanation.]

[... Besides apparently an idiot.]
no subject
[Look.]
This is a guy who, when seeing a Burnish flare tearing apart the city in a rage, chases after it because he could tell I was crying and he didn't want me to do something I'd regret. Despite meeting me twice, one of those time when I was arrested and the other when I tied him up in a cave so the Burnish could get out.
no subject
Ah, that kind of person... I see.
[She pauses.]
I've been meaning to ask, what do you mean by Burnish anyway?
no subject
[He misses him, not gonna lie.]
Burnish are just human. We just also happen to be able to use the powers of the Promare and control fire, which for a lot of people is enough to consider us subhuman and a crime.
no subject
[What.]
That's ridiculous, especially with such an invaluable ability...
no subject
no subject
[That is the sort of thing that would do it. She still doesn't like it, though, and that much is clear to see on her face, for once.
It's not fair, but she knows that people are not fair.]
People too set in certain ways of thinking...

[Lio glances down, thinking, and starts when he sees that he's had the matoi in his hands this entire time.]
Ah, here, sorry--

He'll ask how I got it, but he'll love it. Thanks.
