    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.



    Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday

[Damn these cat features. They really do betray him.

While he is happy to have the item in his possession, it really is a reminder of what the situation was like back home, and of Luna.

Noctis quietly stares at the cover for a moment, really only shaking his head.]
I didn't. It's not really mine, but I share it with... a friend.

[Lunafreya really is more than that. He shakes his head again as if to clear it.]

...Someone special. Just... this just reminds me of her.

Ah, I see.. so it's something from home.

[ Arms cross with a thought, how did it go by picking what items were sent from home? He's gotten two coats by now, which isn't weird since he technically was wearing them before arriving here.. but to get something that wasn't on you is a bit strange.

There's still the connection, from what he can gather by Noctis' words but even so. ]


You'll just have to take care of it for her in the meantime then. Until you can give it back.

Yeah...

[Unfortunately, that's not quite as comforting as it could be. But there's a chance she could have survived, right? He's got to hold onto that little bit of hope.

Noctis quickly realizes he's been staring at the book for most of their conversation. He finally looks at Dokja with a tiny smile.]


Thanks for letting me have this... again. And sorry if I jumped you. Wasn't expecting to have anything from home to wind up here.

That's alright. If something arrived from my home that belonged to someone else, I probably would have reacted the same way. [ There would be thoughts like- are they here as well? Where are they then? Why did someone else get their stuff? ]

I'm just glad I managed to return it.
