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.

LOST PET



IF FOUND, PLEASE RETURN TO HOUSE 8.

LAST SEEN UP NORTH BEYOND THE RIVER AND AT THE BEACH.

LIKES TO BURY THEMSELVES INTO HOLES.

REWARD: 5000 BELLS EACH

[ A mini-game of some sort. If your character actually tries to go and search for these abominations by digging holes, put a map coordinate in the subject line and I'll let you know if they found a radish or two. This will be left open until both are found. No mandatory participation. ]

[spiritoso]

That's your pet??? (・_・;)

I can try looking around!

[conceptualize]

They're very energetic to the point I lost them.

You really are kind, but don't overwork yourself in doing so. :)

[spiritoso]

Don't worry! I'll be careful.

They like to bury themselves, so I should just dig them up right?

[ She won't even wait for the confirmation, starting to dig near her house in D-3. ]

[conceptualize]

[ Good try, Kade! However, the radish is in another hole. ]

They do, but they're very careful as to leaving a trace that they hid themselves. Theyre very good at hide and seek.

[spiritoso]

Looks like I have my work cut out for me, huh?

[ But she's determined to help!! So she goes to E-4. ]

[conceptualize]

[ Laurent is starting to feel bad... just a little. He can gage how much time has passed and guessing how many holes Kaede has dug during their texts so far.

The radish does not exist there. However, Kaede will have found three pieces of wood! That's a strange place to find them, huh. ]

Please take breaks when you can. It's really nothing urgent, after all.

[spiritoso]

Of course! I'll probably take a break soon.

[ She's starting to get a little tired now, but she'll still keep going and look around D-4. ]

[conceptualize]

Have you tried looking at the beach?

[ He wonders if Kaede caught onto the hint in the initial posting.

D-4 does not appreciate it making holes on its beautiful land! No turnips are there either, but Kaede will find a Cosmos Crown. ]

[spiritoso]

No, but I was thinking about trying it next.

[ Unfortunately Kaede isn't one for finding hints.

She does, however, take his advice and look in F-4. ]

[conceptualize]

Be careful of stray animals.

[ Like hermit crabs and whatnot. Though Kaede is successful! One of the radishes are buried in the sand and it's... a very normal radish if you ignore how it looks. It doesn't move, as a normal radish should. ]

[spiritoso]

[ Yay one radish down! Thank goodness it's just a normal radish, despite how it looks. She excitedly types out a message. ]

I found one! (((o(*°▽°*)o)))

[conceptualize]

Congratulations! You worked hard, Kaede. Please bring it to House 8 whenever you want.

[ Otsukare... ]

[transfusionem]

[She gets the feeling this is all just some great big prank or something, but...On the other hand, what's the harm in having fun?]

How loud do they scream?

[conceptualize]

Very loudly, but no one can hear them if they're six feet under.

[transfusionem]

Those poor little mandrakes...

[conceptualize]

They scream like banshees. It's so awful, Adelaide. However will I live without my adorable pets' screaming now?

[ lol ]

[transfusionem]

Well I would think you could live much easier without a mandrake screaming in your ears but who am I to judge?

I hope someone can find them for you.

[conceptualize]

Aw, and you won't?

[transfusionem]

I could, I suppose...

But it seems wrong to ask for a reward.

[conceptualize]

It's alright, since you're not asking and I'm giving. :)

Though, if you're busy, that's fine. This was mostly done to give people something to do if they're bored out of their mind here.

[transfusionem]

So kind and thoughtful, as always.

Maybe I can do a bit of hunting, just because you're doing everyone a service.

[conceptualize]

You're so sweet. Thanks, Adelaide. Though, if no one has found them by the end of the day, I might as well collect them myself.

[transfusionem]

This island isn't that big... I'm sure they'll get found.

[Assuming they're real, anyways.]

[conceptualize]

Yeah, actually... Kaede found one of them already. She had good luck on her side.

[ They exist!! ]
