Week 5
Weather: All Week - Clear Skies...?
- A New Week
Another Monday is here, and that means another round of weekly announcements. You haven’t had any strange dreams since that odd one on Friday evening, but some of you can’t help but feel something…familiar stirring up inside of you. Some kind of energy, some kind of power…
But before you can think too much on it, your train of thought is interrupted by Tom Nook’s voice booming over the speakers again, as per usual.
“Good morning, everyone! Happy fifth week on the island, yes, yes! I have a very special announcement for you today, and that’s that the museum will be open starting on Wednesday! We are currently detailing where to lay out the plot, and you will see another construction area tomorrow. We’ll most likely have it near Able Sisters for ease of convenience. I’m very pleased with our two new establishments!”
He claps delightedly to himself. Tom Nook seems very pleased with how the island is coming along so far!
“Next, please give a warm welcome to our new neighbor, Raymond! Raymond is working as the Able Sisters’ accountant, though he is a little confused about the number of clocks in his house… Ah, but I digress. I’m very happy that we’ve filled up all three of our villager plots!”
Snake, Audie, and Raymond...what an interesting trio. One who enjoys working on his muscles, one who loves fashion, and one who crunches numbers.
“And finally,” Tom Nook continues, “while I don’t have much for you all this week, I am curious about something. I’d like to know how the Meteor Shower went for all of you! It was your first one, no? I hope your wishes will come true!”
Little does he know...some of them already have. Perhaps they will continue to, too, throughout the week.
--
After the morning announcements, you may notice that there has been a new posting on the bulletin board. Upon closer inspection, the new posting is from no one other than Snake himself!
His posting is as follows:
- Hey hey! I’m CRAZY excited about living here on Isle Sonrisa, where the biggest attractions are my biceps! I wanna build up my muscles even more, so can you help me with something?
I want as many barbells as I can get! Yep, no limit, just give me everything you’ve got! You know where to find me, and I’ll give anyone who gives me a barbell a special surprise! Thanks!
P.S. If anyone wants to arm wrestle sometime, give me a ring! I’ll be right there in a jiffy!
Possible Objectives
1. Fulfill Snake's odd request
2. More to come...
OOC: Tom Nook will be available for NPCing. In fact, we encourage interactions with him on Monday specifically! Your interactions may unlock more objectives, so stay tuned!
We also will be discontinuing weekly plotting posts. Thank you!

Tomato ice cream.
[ He's kidding. ]
no subject
You're joking?
[ Please say sike. ]
no subject
I'm thinking a pasta carbonara.
[ Calm down. ]
no subject
No tomatoes?
[ Stop mean to him. ]
no subject
Some tomatoes.
[ Not a lot. ]
no subject
[ Dokja is not below whining. How could you do this to him? He's not at all focused on their surroundings when the bridge comes into view. ]
You are a cruel and unjust companion. [ Some tomatoes... disgusting. How dare you. There's nothing he can do if it's in the sauce but if there's pieces of it? He's picking them off 100%. ]
no subject
It'll still be delicious. [ You think he can't make tomatoes tasty?? ] You need to stop being picky.
[ You! Are an adult man! Before they know it, they wandered to Ables. ]
no subject
[ ..Wait. Dokja freezes as he realizes what it is that he said, quickly correcting himself. It was never really discussed between the two of them when he thinks about it. What was there exactly to discuss though? Did it need a label? Would that change anything? ..No, it wouldn't. ] A companion.
[ At least they're at the shop now, his free hand reaching to take hold of the door. ]
no subject
[ He's understanding when it matters! Tomatoes won't kill Dokja, so he will have to eat them. When they enter, the hedgehog greets them and shows their line of featured clothes!
There's a dressing room, too. They can check out the other items in there. ]
Get whatever you need.
no subject
[ Not really. But he's still gonna be picky. For a moment he regards the catalog.. there's a lot to choose from. One ear flicks at the door, musing. ]
Are you offering to pay? [ He hasn't found anything to wear but he's shoving this into Joonghyuk's hands and pushing him towards the dressing room. ] You should try things on too.
no subject
I can't spot you if you don't have enough bells. [ As he said earlier, Dokja isn't a child and he gave him a bunch of items before? He knows you have money. ] What will you be trying on?
no subject
It's fine, I can pay for us today. [ Joonghyuk paid for groceries so, only fair. ] Hmmm.. I'm not sure yet.
[ He does find a fox mask though to which he puts on as his tail swishes behind him. ] They have a much wider collection than I thought.
no subject
Some of these are costumes.
[ But he'll go into the dressing room and change into what Dokja gave him. When he comes out, he checks how it looks himself. Cozy, though maybe too cozy for the weather. ]
no subject
They are. But, not all of them.
[ He waits for Joonghyuk to get changed and when he's out.. he admires how it looks. ..It looks really good. Like, stupid good? Before he realizes it, he's already running a hand along the fabric. ] How's it feel?
no subject
Based on his expression which hasn't changed, it's satisfactory. The wag of his tail says he likes it, though. ]
Acceptable.
[ ... ]
Are you going to buy a costume?
no subject
I think so. [ Really, Joonghyuk looks closer to a model than a pro gamer. Unfair. ]
..Why would I buy a costume? [ What do you think he's here for?? ] I'm looking for comfortable clothes too.
[ A particular porcupine seems to think she knows his taste! She got some really good insight? Well, Dokja won't turn it down, though he hardly gets to see what it is until he's pushed into the dressing room now with said recommended clothes.
A minute goes by... silence. Eventually, Dokja's voice sounds but he doesn't leave the dressing room. ] ..Yoo Joonghyuk. [ He might sound nervous. ] Can you quickly get something else for me to try on, this is no good.
no subject
However, instead of holding it out in front of the dressing room, he enters it to give Dokja his clothes without warning. Here. He got it for you— ]
It can't be that bad.
[ Is it?! ]
no subject
Except now Joonghyuk is coming into the dressing room and he almost yells, but more or less yelps as he's covering most of himself with his fluffy white fox-like tail. It doesn't hide everything. ]
It IS bad!! Why are you in here?! Get out! [ And now he's rambling as though he'll explain himself. ] Changing into clothes is almost an immediate function with how this world works so I didn't think much at first- then maybe assumed there was more to it until I realized it and-- Can you give me the other clothes? [ The red of his cheeks could almost engulf the white of his ears if one imagined. ]
no subject
If he thinks about it, it does suit Dokja? Kind of? Yet at the same time, seeing him like this makes him feel weird. Unsure if pissed off or confused. Maybe both? Why would Dokja want to ever show this much leggy? ]
... I thought you loved this dress.
[ Yes, he's bullying him. ]
no subject
I don't. I really.. really don't. [ He doesn't want to show off this much leggy okay?! He's avoided wearing shorts even on the island. Always sticking with pants and clothes in general that doesn't show off too much skin. Especially this much. ]
Are you enjoying this? [ Stop bullying him?? ]
no subject
[ His frown deepens at the accusation. He has seen Dokja mildly uncomfortable, but more often dying than anything. Don't blame him for being shook to his core and staring for a bit? Black ears flatten as his tail lashes back and forth. ]
It's not like there's anything to see. [ Joonghyuk has a man's body, too. Then he used to be able to turn into a woman. Calm down. ] I'll wait outside.
[ Bye. Now he's getting pestered by the hedgehog if he likes what he saw. ]
no subject
[ Well, Dokja imagines he would probably feel more embarrassed were it anyone else, but it could be because it's who it is he feels the heightened embarrassment. His cheeks burn, his hand leaving the dress to rub at his face as his tail conveniently hides himself to the best of his ability.
He twitches at that statement and a hand raises to smack the leaving form. ] Then why did you stare so much!? [ He is baby. Stop mean. ]
[ At least now he can change into new clothes, which he actually leaves with them on to inspect the cardigan and shirt, with simple pants on instead of exposed leggies. The pink hasn't left his cheeks as he sighs out. ] Are you finished?
no subject
I picked out a couple of shirts.
[ Which he's holding. Yes, he's finished. ]
Is that all you're getting?
no subject
Yeah. I'm fine with this. [ He inspects an article here and there, before he asks Mabel to total it up so he can pay. Like he said he would! With that settled, he dumps his clothes into his pockets and his tail shakes as though to get rid of earlier moments' embarrassment. ] We should head back home to put away the groceries.
[ It's almost as if Nothing Happened. ]
no subject
You should at least get shorts.
[ Joonghyuk isn't moving yet. Get those shorts, even if you paid for them already. ]
