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.

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.

Aw, and you won't?

I could, I suppose...

But it seems wrong to ask for a reward.

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.

So kind and thoughtful, as always.

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

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.

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

[Assuming they're real, anyways.]

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

[ They exist!! ]

Good luck or you telling her where to look?

[But, hey, she's bored. Might as well try, starting at the river north of Laurent's house. Specifically square C-6.]

I did include hints, after all.

[ Unfortunately, Adelaide will not find radishes there. Instead, she'll find three iron nuggets buried in that area. That's a weird place to find them, huh? ]

[She takes a picture of the iron nuggets, sending them to Laurent.]

Seems like you included a consolation prize, too.

[And on to D-6!]

I did. :)

I didn't want it to be for nothing, after all~

[ Though Laurent has a rough idea of where she is from the consolation prize. The radish is unfortunately not in D-6! However, Adelaide will find a gold nugget! ]

Want a hint?

Once again, you are just the most considerate. ♥

And yes, I would like a hint pls. ♥

[she's using hearts so she really means it]

[ Adelaide... the hearts make him laugh. He's laughing alone with his ~~salad~~ texts in his house. ]

Go west from where you found the iron nugget.

[West of the nuggets, huh... On to C-5!]

Thank you ♥

[ As true to the hint, Adelaide finds a strangely shaped radish! There's a note next to it, requesting that the finder return it to someone living in House 8.

The radish has a smiling face on it. ]

[She takes a selfie with the radish, sending it to Laurent before heading over to House 8 and knocking on the door triumphantly.]

[ That's so cute. He'll save the picture. When Adelaide knocks on the door, he goes to answer it. ]

Congratulations, you won a prize~

[ He's also letting her in, if she wants to come inside. ]

Thank you, because I totally deserve it!

[She's grinning, radish tucked under her arm as she steps inside.]

You totally do.

[ He welcomes her in and leads her to his room. It's nicely decorated with piano, a log bed, a mitt chair... a clock on the wall quietly ticks away the time. ]

Want a glass of water? All that digging must have been hard work.

Heh.

[What a cute little place...]

Sure, I'll take one.

[ Laurent pours some water into a cup and hands it over to her. ]

How was it? Fun? Tiring?

[She takes the cup, raising it to her lips and quirking a brow.]

I dunno if digging holes is fun, but the little guy is kind of cute, so...

[Worth it?]

It's very endearing, isn't it?

[ He gets out 5000 bells and hands that over to her too, as promised. ]

It's so happy that you found it.

[She tucks the bells away, glancing back at the radish.]

It is. I'm glad I was able to free it from it's earthly prison.

[She holds it out with a flourish.]

Please don't eat it.
