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.

[During the daytime, Iori can be found using her trusty axe to hit various things to get materials. Although she finds herself hemming and hawing during a lot of it.]

Would this even work? Is it long enough? Ooh, this might be a problem...

[She might need some help.

Alternatively, she can be found with some items that she's selling and trading on top of a log bench - make her some offers and she's here for you. It's a yard sard in front of house 8. Of course, if an item belongs to a character - it's free game.

In the afternoon, though - she can be found getting some food at the grocery store; in particular, she's grabbing a lot of... canned soup?

Do we declare that she's at soup? No, that can't be right.

Last, but not least, Iori is out in the late hours of the evening, tiptoeing carefully as if trying not to disturb anyone. However, if she does see someone, she'll put a finger on her lips with the hand not holding the net, going:]

Shhhh. I'm trying to get revenge. If you want, you can help me.

[Revenge on what, exactly???]

evening

[sugooooooooi]

Huh? [blink] How come? Did someone do something bad?

[livefreely]

That's right.

[Her voice is dead serious, even if it's hushed to a whisper.]

They were so bad... that now I have to catch them and turn them in to the powlice. Do you wanna help? They're super sneaky.

[sugooooooooi]

[She's not quite sure what a police is, but Serval scratches behind her ear and nods.]

That sounds fun! Let's go! Where do we find them?

[livefreely]

[One day, she will teach Serval the word 'police' so she can finally understand her puns.

But that day is, apparently, not today.]

Hmm, I dunno, actually. But they're small and dark and run fast. Many a victim they have caught... but no more! The evil must be defeated!!

[lightsmith]

[Having broken another axe while smacking rocks for those sweet, sweet gathering nodes materials, Scintilla was wandering around collecting branches for a new one when the collection of items caught her attention. Specifically-]

...Aymeric?

[Which, if you are like me and don't understand a damn thing about Elezen pseudo-French phonetics but do understand Metal Gear, sounds weirdly like 'Emmerich'.]

Hey, did you get that in the mail by any chance?

[livefreely]

You recognize it?

[She startles a little bit, although her hands are completely off of the thing as she blinks at Scintilla with some surprise.]

It looked super hyper-specific, so I was wondering if it might belong to someone... if it's yours, you can have it. I did get it in the mail, by the way.

Is it based off a friend of yours or something?

[lightsmith]

Aye, it is on both counts. [She picked up the clockwork doll with a smile.] S'common in Eorzea to make wind-ups of city-state leaders. Some other well-known folks get 'em too, now and then. Aymeric here's in charge of Ishgard.

[livefreely]

Ooh...

[Iori's eyes immediately light up, sparkling.]

That's a really neat... would you call it a tradition? Probably not, since it's common, right? But I think it's cool! I wonder if we can find a way to make some of our own... maybe we'd have one of everyone, since we're all well known on the island? What do you think?

[southclaw]

[At some point while Iori's back is turned, she might hear the sound of someone playing with the toy drum.]

I like this!

[livefreely]

Oh!

[She whirls around at the sound of someone mentioning that 'they like this', gaping in awe.]

You do? Do you want it? I'm selling and trading some stuff... unless it's an item that belongs to someone or they recognize it from back home!

[southclaw]

[That's the funny thing about canon points. This does belong to him, he just doesn't know it yet.]

Trade? Huh... [He tries to think of something he can trade, but then he remembers the fishing contest.] I can catch fish! You want fish?

[livefreely]

[That's... unfortunate.]

Oh! I can take fish for sure!

evening

[turntoashes]

[Lio, who'd just been getting something from the twins when he spotted Iori, gives her a confused look.]

On?

[livefreely]

Our greatest enemy - the one that disturbs us all in the night.

[She says those words in the most over-the-top, dramatic fashion, too. Like they're the final boss, or something of that nature.]

[turntoashes]

[. . .]

Who?

[livefreely]

The king of all insects!

[Iori.]

grocery store

[spiritoso]

[ Kaede is just picking up a few things for dinner, and she runs over to Iori when she spots her. ]

Nagase-san! [ She's about to ask her what she's here for when she sees all the soup. ]

Oh wow, are you stocking up for something?

[livefreely]

I am, yeah!

[She grins flashing a peace sign in Kaede's direction.]

Although I was thinking that the cans might be a good thing to use for like... height?

[spiritoso]

Height? What are you using them for?

[ Now she's really curious!! ]

[rupturingheaven]

[Byleth drops by to take a look at the items being offered with a thoughtful hum.]

... How does 2500 bells sound for the coat?

[livefreely]

Hmm.

[She hums, mostly to herself than anyone else, tapping her chin with quite a bit of contemplation.]

Going once... going twice... sold! 2500 bells is perfect~!

[rupturingheaven]

[Byleth produces the correct number of bells before offering them.]

A pleasure doing business with you.

evening

[winterforecast]

Revenge? I'm down.

[You should've expected this, Iori.]

yard sard

[pr159]

[ ...Those wingtip shoes are pretty nice.

The idea of buying shoes from a high school girl feels kind of ridiculous, but so far it seems like everything has miraculously fit whoever comes into possession of it (much like how his pocket miraculously fit a fucking shark), so he probably doesn't need to worry. ]

1000 for the shoes.
