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!)

But he also hit his head on the edge of the river, so that. Kinda hurts. ]
no subject
Oh no!
[That looked painful...She reaches up to feel for any sort of bump, regardless of any protests Laurent might have, awkwardly sprawled on him.]
Are you okay?!
no subject
I'm... fine.
[ He can endure. It's okay! It's not as bad as getting an entire couch ram him. ]
no subject
[Yeah, she's fretting now. She pulls back so she can stand up and help Laurent to his feet.]
We should ice that... Do we have ice here?
no subject
I don't think so, but I'll be fine, really.
[ Pain is only temporary... yeah. ]
Don't worry about me.
no subject
[Truly, her stubbornness comes out most in moments like these. She shepherds Laurent to the riverbank, keeping a hand to his back to make sure he doesn't topple.]
There should be ice at the grocery store, right...?
no subject
[ It never occurred to him to get ice at the supermarket.
...
He wonders why, but before he can ponder on that any further, he has a headache again. ]
Wait, stop. I feel dizzy.
[ Sorry, he's actually fragile. ]
no subject
After a moment...]
Do you want me to carry you?
no subject
[ Yeah, just do it. ]
no subject
And off she goes to the grocery store! Where they hopefully carry ice. What kind of grocery store doesn't carry ice?]
no subject
Sorry, Adelaide........... ]
no subject
Well.
This doesn't make him easier to carry, but she at least manages to get to the store, get ice (thankfully!), and get him back to her home. Hopefully Scintilla and Sonico won't mind...?
She lays him down in bed, wraps up some ice, and tucks it under his head. And then she guess she...waits. And despairs over how her bed is gonna get super damp, probably.]
no subject
...
He slowly blinks. Laurent was drenched from playing in the river earlier too, so he... honestly feels kinda gross right now. ]
Where...
no subject
Adelaide is... Admittedly a little worried that he's out for so long, and she startles at the sound of his voice.]
Ah!
[Oh. He's awake.]
You're...in my room.
no subject
Did I get sick?
no subject
[She leans over him, inspecting him.]
Are you feeling alright?
no subject
He's about to say that he's stubbornly fine, but he holds his tongue and laughs a little. ]
I... actually feel pretty gross because of my clothes, but other than that, I feel a little sore. That's all.
no subject
Yeah, I wasn't gonna undress you. That's super fucking creepy. And I don't...really have any clothing you can borrow...
[She trails off, leaning back on her heels.]
You should be careful... Head injuries aren't something to be taken lightly.
no subject
[ Hm... ]
Should I make you a new one?
no subject
That seems like overkill, doesn't it?
no subject
[ Overachiever? Laurent and his too many languages repertoire? Nonsense. ]
I can make one right away.
no subject
[You don't have to!!]
I don't have a workbench.
no subject
[ Laurent sits up on the bed and whips it out like it's nothing from his pocket. It's a mini DIY workbench! He immediately sets down a bundle of 30 logs, also from his pocket, and makes it in a flash. ]
There. New bed.
[ Ta-da. ]
no subject
Adelaide watches, absolutely mystified, and when the bed is done she shakes her head with a disbelieving laugh.]
You really didn't have to do that.
no subject
[ He laughs a little and after putting the workbench back into his pocket, he plops back down on the bed on his back.
He feels lightheaded. ]
