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!)

You didn't jog today.
[ Oh!! Oh?! Joonghyuk's tail whips upright from surprise to see that familiar coat folded on Dokja's lap. He doesn't say anything, no, but he looks up to his companion expectantly. ]
no subject
[ Which was.. well, with this coat. Dokja was hoping to try and fix some of these tatters and places its torn. Eyes blink at the sudden movement behind Joonghyuk, unable to stop his gaze from flickering to it and his lips twitch. It's.. so strange, he can't get use to it. It certainly helps with reading the other man more. But it's also...
In a way, an endearing feature. He stops to ponder on it before he realizes that expectant look he has. Right. ] Do you want it? It belongs to ■■■ but I think it should be fine if I lend it to you.
[ Hands gingerly lift the coat, holding it out for the other man to take. ]
no subject
Conflicted, he's torn between claiming this coat as his, then also not. It was his once, but he isn't that man. It doesn't stop him from taking it and looking down at it, pensive.
Is this really all right? ]
no subject
Gently he leans a little against him, his tail curling around back to rest behind his friend but plays oblivious to his own actions as he continues even though Joonghyuk does not ask him anything. ] It's a bit too warm for me to be wearing both coats, and if not worn it'll just be laying around.
[ Keep it, he tries to say. ]
no subject
You looked ridiculous with two coats on.
no subject
[ The ends of his tail lightly brushes against his companion, leaning forward to prop an elbow on his own knee and slot his jaw in palm. His gaze watching the other closely as he does. On one hand, yes he doesn't give it back but he hasn't put it on yet either.
To be fair it wasn't exactly repaired like he had hoped to do earlier today. It's still got signs of battle worn with the tatters and tears but it's an almost completely intact coat. ]
no subject
... White suits you better.
[ He says that because he still sees Dokja as a pure white star, probably the only star he would allow in the night sky. As he thinks this, his tail seems to wag a bit. ]
no subject
[ Fingers lightly tap against his own cheek, thinking on it. Of course he wanted black... his gaze lingers on Joonghyuk as he thinks on it, on the man he desperately tried to be.
An ear flickers, gaze catching sight of that light wag and his own almost in unison starts to sway too. ] It's still wearable like this but if I come across anyone with sewing supplies I'll let you know.
no subject
You still should come for a jog.
[ Yes, he still thinks Dokja could use some exercise. ]
no subject
Mhm.. huh? You're not planning on jogging again, are you? Didn't you just finish?
[ His grand scheme... foiled? ]
no subject
[ Snake breaks out of his meditation to agree with Joonghyuk! Dokja should totally join. They're going to jog again very soon? Lesgo?
The bunny gets up and warms up with some stretches. ]
no subject
[ Damn. Here he thought he timed it well. Dokja doesn't exactly have any other excuses, and it isn't as if he can dump bells into building up his stats. It's a good habit to make, he tells himself.]
Alright, fine. [ It's going to be a long while until he catches up with Yoo Joonghyuk but hey it's a start. ]
no subject
[ Even though it's most likely both Snake and Dokja will fall behind. Joonghyuk stands to stretch, too. ]
But you can't leave and go home, either.
[ Joonghyuk will notice. ]
no subject
[ Of course, something tells him that Joonghuyk won't leave him because..
..of that. So even if he tried to sneak off he would notice. This bastard just sees everything. ]
I mean, if you're gonna leave me behind, whose stopping me? [ smile. ]
no subject
I will be watching you.
[ And he leads the jog. Snake follows after him and ushers Dokja to tag along. Let's go gays, let's go! ]
