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!)

He remembers when he'd always have his headphones on and blaring, a clear sign to anybody around him that he's not to be disturbed, but then he started wearing them less and less- until he's at this point where he often doesn't even miss the familiar weight of them resting over his chest. ]
Either music or thoughts. Something's gotta occupy your mind.
no subject
[ Though, it's nice, getting to know Minato a little more like this. ]
It's too bad there aren't any music players here other than the radio. We just have to make it ourselves.
no subject
Yeah, but that's not too bad. Kaede plays the piano, and sitting next to her and listening to her play makes me pretty happy. Serval seems to be having a lot of fun with her frying pan. And Sylvando has his recorder and is just great to be around in general. I think I'd rather have this than a music player.
no subject
Doing things together with people gives a different kind of experience than doing it alone.
[ Become a door for humanity, Minato. ]
Just as there are always things to learn from others.
no subject
Gestures at everybody here, how can you not be fond? However hard he tries to be distant, it's impossible not to grow fond of people, even if you end up blowing their brains out and locking yourself in the bad end path in the end. It's all done out of love. ]
Yeah... I'm going to learn how to juggle knives and swallow fire. Hopefully.
no subject
... Are you learning that from Sylvando?
no subject
[ What if Minato's life aspirations is becoming a clown? ]
no subject
And. Well. Laurent believes Sylvando is a good guy, so if Minato wants to learn that sort of thing, Sylvando would be the best choice on this island that he knows of. Sylvando told Laurent that he was a professional entertainer, after all, and there was no reason to lie about it. ]
If you need instant fire, I have a container full of gasoline. Let me know when you start learning.
[ ... ]
You also can't tell anyone that I have it.
no subject
I promise I won't tell. But also... that would've made setting the statue on fire so much easier...
no subject
Is that how clay statues work?
[ Setting them on fire with gasoline?? He feels like the clay would just melt or something. ]
no subject
I mean... you have to bake it, right? I tried with a camp fire, but it didn't work evenly.
[ So yeah, it melted. A trial run with a microwave had it exploding. He's still not deterred, though. ]
no subject
[ It's not like he'd give the entire container... it's fine, it's fine. But let's see... ]
Scintilla has a brick oven and she's been using it craft things, hasn't she? Maybe she'll know a thing or two about making clay statues with fire.
no subject
[ But at the mention of Scintilla's brick oven, Minato hears "special firing gun" and immediately thinks ]
Do you think she'd be able to forge a flamethrower?
no subject
[ ...
Why would a regular 24-year-old TA know how to make a flamethrower?
Don't ask. ]
no subject
[ Minato doesn't care why Laurent would know; what's more important is if he can get his grubby hands on one, no further questions asked ]
no subject
[ Laurent takes out a notepad and pen and starts writing:
A)
- Can of aerosol (ex: hairspray)
- Metal bracket
- Rubber band
- Small candle/tealight
-----------------------
B)
- Super soaker
- Metal bracket
- Tin foil
- Small candle/tealight
And hands the paper over to Minato. It's written in Japanese on purpose so that Minato and a few others can probably read it, but not everyone on the island. ]
Either option is fine, but you have to choose one.
no subject
The metal looks like it'd be the toughest to get the right shape and size... Would a normal toy gun work for a flame ...spitter? Serval had one.
[ It doesn't need to be a sustainable stream of fire. A gun that spits out little globules of flame seems pretty neat too. ]
no subject
[ Unfortunately, it's the only kind he knows how to make out of regular "every day, easily obtainable" materials. ]
no subject
There's probably whipped cream at the store. Would that work, or does it have to be just gas?
no subject
[ Hm... let Laurent think for a second-- ]
Oh, right. There's a fashion show going on. Maybe the one running it would have a spare hairspray bottle. Try asking her.
no subject
Mm... okay... I'd better reassure her it's for a flamethrower and not undue advantage in the contest either.
no subject
[ Or whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. ]
no subject
[ You're asking Minato blatantly lie... He supposes it could be a white lie; maybe he'll accidentally catch somebody's hair on fire in the future. ]
I'll go ask her then. All this other stuff doesn't look too bad. What's a metal bracket?
no subject
A metal bracket looks like those L-shaped hinges that you screw onto things to support them. Usually used for things hanging on walls. I think a few iron nuggets would be enough to make one, but I want the finished product of the metal brackets instead of the raw materials.
no subject
[ What are the odds he can come across a recipe like that? Maybe he can look around the house or sneak into the airport for brackets, the airport seems like the place that would have extra things hanging on walls. ]
