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.



    Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday

[ 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. ]

[personal profile] transfusionem 2020-07-23 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, because I totally deserve it!

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

[personal profile] conceptualize 2020-07-23 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[personal profile] transfusionem 2020-07-23 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
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?

[personal profile] transfusionem 2020-07-23 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[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?]
conceptualize: (pic#14101292)

[personal profile] conceptualize 2020-07-23 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
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.
transfusionem: (pic#12951332)

[personal profile] transfusionem 2020-07-23 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[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.
conceptualize: (pic#14102735)

[personal profile] conceptualize 2020-07-23 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Feel bad for it?

[ Laurent takes it and holds it out while holding it with both hands as if inspecting it. ]

It's the face, isn't it?
transfusionem: (pic#12951332)

[personal profile] transfusionem 2020-07-23 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
It's definitely the face.

[She reaches over to poke the radishe's...cheek?]

It's just so damn cute and happy!
conceptualize: (pic#14102716)

[personal profile] conceptualize 2020-07-23 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ If the radish could speak, maybe it would let out a squeak upon being poked. ]

If it never expired, I wouldn't cook it. Alas... food is meant to be eaten. A tragic end, but maybe it'll be happy, knowing it'll be eaten to help keep others healthy. Isn't that right?

[ He makes the radish wiggle in his hold as if that's some sort of acknowledgement that it'll gladly to be a sacrifice for the greater good. ]

[personal profile] transfusionem 2020-07-23 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[She considers this for a moment, tilting her head and looking at the radish. Oh, radish-chan, will you tell her your secrets...]

Well... If that's what it wants.

[A beat.]

And as long as it doesn't feel pain.
conceptualize: (pic#14102667)

[personal profile] conceptualize 2020-07-23 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. No pain. 0. None.

[ Laurent laughs a little. ]

Thanks for going along with my little game.
transfusionem: (pic#12951304)

[personal profile] transfusionem 2020-07-23 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright. You have my permission to cook it, then.

[Make it something tasty.]

Heh, you're welcome.
