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!)

[ Which he has no issues pointing out. Yoo Joonghyuk offered, and he's taking up said offer! That's all. However, Dokja continues to watch the look on his companion's face as he tries to think of something. He chuckles a little, muttering something like, "You'll get wrinkles with an expression like that." His tail swishes against the other's when he feels it twitch, he doesn't think it'll be possible to tangle the two together. His own fox-like tail is quite poof.
He didn't ask for this specifically don't pin this on him. His gaze is drawn on those black pointed ears. He still keeps his hold on that arm throughout, but this time his free hand does raise up to touch a curve as though to map out the shape of an ear. His fingers twitch along with his lips as he blanks at the words. ]
..Huh? Wait, why that of all things? [ Of everything you could've picked... hello? Wait, he should shut up and listen. His mouth closes immediately as though to let Joonghyuk continue. ]
no subject
We were trying to clear a sub scenario and there was an elephant monster... Shin Yoosung couldn't use Diverse Communication on it and Lee Gilyoung berated her for it. However, she thought she sensed a connection between the monster and herself. It wasn't attacking us, either, and seemed to be especially fond of her. I wanted to get rid of it. Han Sooyoung agreed.
[ Of course, they did. ]
But Jung Heewon, Yoo Sangah, and Lee Hyunsung were sympathetic. We have only lost you a month ago... [ He grows quiet because he remembers how he reacted to the messages telling him Dokja no longer existed in the < Star Stream >. ] Lee Jihye as well wanted to believe. The majority chose to bring it back to the Industrial Complex and we all took turns trying to understand and communicate with the elephant monster, thinking it's you and that it'll eventually regain the humanity it never had.
[ ... ]
It especially did not like me.
no subject
The corners of his eyes start to crinkle with mirth, unable to stop another quiet laugh from leaving him. ] That sounds like her.
[ There's fond in his tone, knowing exactly the kind of girl his Incarnation is. And frankly not surprised that those two in particular wanted to get rid of it. He does grow equally quiet at mention of losing him. It's only a light smile lingering on his lips now as he caresses a black ear. The others respond as he expects. Lee Jihye too, huh.
..Ah. that last statement got him. Dokja is.. trying really hard to hold back laughter this time. He really is. Jaws tight, keeping a mostly neutral face but it's struggling as his shoulders tremble with the held back laugh. It's. It's really funny. His voice shakes as he carefully tries to respond. ] I.. I see.
[ Pbbbbfffttt. ]
no subject
Why are you snickering?
[ Also, stop touching his ear. That's enough. Taking Dokja's wrist, he pries that hand away from them and moves it under the sheets. ]
no subject
[ His tone has a bubbly-like lift to it, clearly doing his best to still stifle such laughter. Even though he wants to badly. Dokja lets that hand pry it away, even if the sensation of fur still tingles under his fingertips. ]
Did it bother you? That it didn't like you.
[ It's such a odd thing to mention in the story. So, he can't help but wonder if Joonghyuk in a way was secretly bothered by the fact that this elephant monster apparently did not like him. It's what makes it so funny. ]
no subject
No one likes being hated. Not even Yoo Joonghyuk by one of his precious allies, too. ]
Why would it bother me?
[ Under the sheets, his tail is puffing up. ]
no subject
It bothers him. Not because of what it actually was, but what it potentially could've been. Hands lightly touch the arms held between them, gaze lowered with a contemplating hum. With his mind relaxed, distracted due to the tale of the story he can feel himself being draped with a blanket of sleepiness. ]
You should know that I like you, Yoo Joonghyuk. [ Despite everything, it isn't as though Dokja doesn't like him. ] Even if you're a pain sometimes.
no subject
Go to sleep.
[ He says that, but he shifts a bit closer with intentions to watch him for a little longer. ]
no subject
[ It's said softly, with a smile tugging at his lips and a close of his eyes. Joonghyuk doesn't respond to his words but he thinks maybe that's for the better. He wouldn't know how to respond, much less react, if he had. ..Yeah. This was probably better.
Ears briefly twitch at the slight movement, gaze half-lidded as he takes in that just maybe his companion is a bit closer. But he's too sleepy to think on it. However, one hand does lightly reach over to touch the front of his friend's chest. His gaze lowers but the blanket covers most of them, fingertips searching until he finds that heart beat. A steady thump, thump- a reminder that they are very much alive. Not that they are in any danger here but.. nightmares are a fickle thing.]
no subject
Carefully, he places it between them, giving it a slight squeeze. The more he thinks about it, the more he realizes he is relieved that Dokja likes him. ]
There will always be time for more stories, Kim Dokja.
[ So rest up. Close your eyes. ]
no subject
This was different. The hold was.. light. Catching feel of that thumb over his palm that sends a shiver through him, tail quivering in response. He doesn't say anything as it's held in place after as his fingers almost cautiously squeeze back. ...Mm. Okay. ]
..Alright.
[ He decides not to argue anymore. If because he can feel his own heartbeat stutter. He forces his eyes shut, a quiet breath leaving him and subconsciously cradles that hand holding his closer. Almost as though it was a lifeline to chase away any coming dreams. Bad or good. ]
