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!)

[ Anyway, he was answering in a general sense. He knows too many people who would sign contracts if that meant they can survive—if they can change. ]
Are you going to accept that?
no subject
[ Only that they were merely "fitting" their unknown criteria--but Laurent doesn't say that, because he doesn't want Joonghyuk to think those earlier guesses were right. ]
no subject
You don't need to live the life someone else gave you.

[ Laurent wasn't sure what to expect. There was a reason why he didn't like talking about himself. It's been a long time, but he remembers why he's always done it like this in the first place. ]
no subject
I rather like it on the island, so I decided to live here.
[ So, yes. He'll live the life someone else gave him by staying on this island. ]
no subject
[ He might as well ask this final question. This isn't about being trapped on this island, but at home. ]
no subject
... ]
In a way.
[ Definitely a yes. ]
But I'll tell you stories from my place if you hang out with me more, Joonghyuk~ You seem to like that sort of thing.
no subject
But someone showed him that sacrifices don't need to be made. ]
We can come to save you. [ It isn't that he ignored what Laurent said, but he wanted to say his piece first. ] But I'm willing to listen to your story.
no subject
...
He looks off to the side. ]
I hope you won't regret those words.
no subject
Seeing Laurent's expression has him softly smiling. It's kind of funny to him? He's said this to someone else before. ]
... I won't have any if you take our hand when we get there and reach out to you.
no subject
He quietly breathes in. ]
... I'll think about it. Thanks, for offering me the opportunity.
no subject
Now Snake also notices, asking Laurent if he’s feeling okay? Why so sad? You know what will cheer you up?! Exercise! ]
no subject
Thanks, Snake. I'll exercise at home.
[ He looks up over to Joonghyuk. Laurent looks even more tired than before, but he smiles at him a little despite that. ]
I'll see you later then.
no subject
Keep the offer in mind.
[ Joonghyuk will continue to exercise with Snake, then also make him some... Smaller weights. ]
