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.

[conceptualize]

[ It's too bad Laurent doesn't look up to see Joonghyuk smiling. He keeps his head down. He's long forgotten how this emotion felt like--something that he wanted so much that was seemingly within reach, but being afraid to take that chance in fear of it disappearing and it hitting him back rather hard when he gets so close to obtaining what he wants. He's taken those chances before with less than stellar results. It's hope. Hope that has betrayed him at every turn, yet when presented with this sort of choice again, his heart wavers despite everything.

He quietly breathes in. ]

... I'll think about it. Thanks, for offering me the opportunity.

[regression]

[ Joonghyuk stays quiet, not at all deterred despite the grandiose fear, and the only thing that sounds the air is Snake’s grunting. Laurent’s form looks almost pitiful, but he doesn’t say that. Instead, he knocks on the other man’s head like before.

Now Snake also notices, asking Laurent if he’s feeling okay? Why so sad? You know what will cheer you up?! Exercise! ]

[conceptualize]

[ With the knock on the head, Laurent blinks, focusing on the vision in front of him. He sees Snake asking if he's okay and suggesting exercise to cheer him up. Laurent smiles and gives Snake a gentle pat on the head. ]

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.

[regression]

[ Snake says that's good of you to find a way to exercise at home!! Joonghyuk looks to snake with a scowl, knowing that Laurent most likely isn't going to exercise at home. ]

Keep the offer in mind.

[ Joonghyuk will continue to exercise with Snake, then also make him some... Smaller weights. ]
