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!)

I didn’t do anything!!
[Just let her say things without thinking...]
I- Did you just call me a yeehaw?
no subject
Uh, yeah, so? You are a yeehaw.
[ -- as he calmly begins to take off his sandals and shake them out over to the side, toes wiggling.]
no subject
I don’t even know what to say to that - what does that even mean?
[Should she be insulted?]
no subject
It means howdy cowgirl, that's quite a yee on your haw there, nice shootin' Tex, giddyup.
[Setting the sandals aside and starting to wring out the bottom of his shirt, he looks back over to her with a winning smile. He looks so proud of himself with his dumb nonsense.]
no subject
Oh my god.
[Despite herself, she laughs, almost like she’s surprised by it.]
Fuckin’ - seriously?
no subject
The most serious, you kidding me? What, you got a snake in your boot, darlin'?
no subject
You’re ridiculous.
[She shakes her head, still grinning.]
Bet you think you could charm any snake I got.
no subject
Actually, I'm pretty sure y -- [uhhh what is he saying, don't mention your "snake", cough cough, abort, abort!
To hide his face, even if it's just for a second, and to more effectively dry his shirt, he's just...gonna pull it over his head, revealing even more of his numerous tattoos of flowers and other plant life. Wow, look at all the water he can twist out of his shirt now, amazing!!]
Before you panic or something, I'll keep the pants on, even if you're right and wet clothes are annoying.
no subject
Theo, apparently.
Adelaide will kindly not point out she definitely figured out what he was going to say.]
You can do what you want, I'm not gonna go... Blind or anything like that.
[She opens the present, a little disappointed by what's inside.]
...You've got nice tattoos, though.
no subject
Huh? Oh, thanks. [...well, he's already dead from most of this conversation that just started.] Uh, I got more, if you're dying for me to take the pants off.
[Because being okay with it obviously meant -- no, okay, he just wants to justify it to himself to make it less awkward, somehow.]
no subject
Yeah! They look great; I've only got one myself...
[Which she will not offer to show him... For now.
She smirks, raising an eyebrow.]
You're just covered in them, huh.
[Which is not a yes or a no... Hmm!!]
no subject
Yeah. My best bud's got tattoo m -- experience. Lucky me, I got discounted prices for being a live canvas instead of making them use an orange, or whatever. Valuable lessons on tattooing dark skin, too, so they aren't one of those lame fucks that blame a customer's race for the art turning out like shit. When'd you get yours?
no subject
[She tilts her head, thinking on it.]
A few months ago? It hasn't been that long at all. It's a flower too, though.
[Adelaide no--]
no subject
[aaaaaaa]
Yeah? What kind? If you say chrysanthemum, I'm calling bullshit, though.
no subject
[Ahaha...]
It’s a sunflower, actually.
no subject
[He drapes his twisted up shirt around his shoulders, and falls back on his hands while he considers it.]
Strong, positive vibes. Long-lasting loyalty and adoration... Heh, sorta funny it's a tattoo. I think it suits you, though -- nice and tall like you, too.
no subject
[She pulls her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them.]
So, tattoos and plants. What other kinds of things are you an expert on?
no subject
[He could do a lot to talk himself up, but...quality over quantity. The honesty is more impressive, in his opinion.]
Those are my two biggest loves, but I'm real good at coming up with theories... Making curry, even if I don't know too much about it -- that skill was passed down, being fair. Aaaand Godzilla! Guy's a good pal of mine.
no subject
She smiles at him, before looking back out over the horizon.]
All pretty good skills to have. Though... When you say Godzilla do you mean, like, a pet?
no subject
[Not that he was just a pet, really. Familiars were much more, more...personal. It's weird to not have him around...]
...Also bit of an expert on talking about myself, maybe you've noticed. I think it's your turn, Chrysanthemum.
no subject
[Which would explain naming one something like Godzilla...
Hm.]
What, to talk about myself? I'm... Not all that remarkable.
no subject
[Someone demanded to be spoiled, even when that sort of thing is completely unnecessary for a familiar... Well, okay, Theo wanted to spoil him, too. He's soft and stupid that way.]
Oh, come on. You're remarkable to me and I barely know you! So I know that's a lie. Besides, I saved your present from falling in the river and now I'm soaked. Come on, Adelaide, give me something...
no subject
[She thinks she understands his soft, squishy insides.
She taps her fingers against her leg, considering.]
Fine, fine. I guess I just... Don't really know what to say? I ran track in high school, got a scholarship for it and everything, but I didn't finish college... Started a business making knives instead, hah. Or, well, I'm starting it, still kind of in the... Getting customers stage. But hopefully it works out.
no subject
[She'd understand if she saw him, okay!!!
That's pretty standard stuff, even if he...has no experience with any of it. Never a jock, never aimed for higher education. But he started a business, and -- ]
What the fuck, that's so cool? You can make knives? Like a blacksmith? You never meet a real fucking blacksmith anymore!
no subject
[Would she...
She would. She would spoil Godzilla so much worse than Theo does.]
Yeah - it's taken a couple years to make anything decent enough to sell to other people, but I kind of... Put my mind to it, y'know?
