Week 6
Weather: All Week - Clear Skies
- A New Week
This weekend, you had unusual dreams. For some of you, they brought you to an outdoor arena that none of you had ever seen before. For others, you dreamed of a familiar place: a place that felt like home in some way. And when you fall asleep on Sunday night, you’ll find that dreams of your homes are continuing. Your home may be exactly as you remember it, at any point in time before you arrived here; perhaps there will be slight differences, or maybe it seems like a different version of your home altogether. Maybe nobody else is in it except for you.
For each dreamer, however, you’ll find that your dreams will start in your own world; but at some point, there will be a mysterious blue light that appears. It looks like a large portal that will lead you to somewhere. Choose to step inside, and you’ll be taken to a random islander’s dream. Alternatively, if you elect to remain inside of your own dream, you may suddenly see a ray of yellow light that appears, and once the light fades, another one of your fellow islanders will appear before you.
Abilities will work as they did over the weekend in your dreams and in the real world. Everyone will have one of their own, whether it be their existing powers from home or something new entirely. Even the formerly powerless will have something within them -- namely something similar to what the strange boy you saw this weekend could do. Perhaps you now have the ability to launch apples at your opponents at a lightning fast speed. Maybe you can rip a tree out of the ground with your bare hands.
And most importantly...everyone will remember their dreams when they wake. Your memories of seeing your friends’ homes (or seeing them in your home instead) will remain. These dreams seem to happen every night for the rest of the week.

Things do seem to return to relative normalcy on Monday morning. Tom Nook’s announcements begin, though he only has two new things to report.
“Good morning, everyone! I hope you all had a fun weekend, yes? I apologize for not having much for you to do this time around, but hopefully you could all use it as a chance to relax. Now, though, it’s time to get back to work on event planning. I’m hoping to bring K.K. Slider over by August 15th, so if that date does work for all of you to host the event, then that’s when you’ll need to be ready by. Once you’ve all decided on what to do, the other thing I’ll need for you to do is to create flyer designs.
In my tent are some papers and markers, crayons and what have you. It may see a little...childish, for some of you, but I assure you that your creativity will come a long way in capturing the hearts of all sorts of people in this world! Feel free to submit as many designs as you want, and I’ll send them over to Nook Inc. to make copies of all of them. We’ll work with Orville to get them all sent out.”
The next and final announcement follows immediately afterwards.
“And finally, we have an exciting opportunity passed onto me by the Able Sisters! Mabel and Sable are holding a design contest for an Isle Sonrisa pattern to put on some of their clothing! Channel your island spirit into your design and create something that you think best represents the island. You can use the supplies for the flyers to draw out your designs, and submit them to Mabel by Thursday. Everyone will get a participation prize of 5,000 bells, but there will be a grand prize for the person whose design gets selected!”
He claps his hands for a brief moment in excitement.
“That’s all for your announcements! Have a wonderful week, everyone!”
Possible Objectives
1. Participate in the Able Sisters' design contest. (Note: Entries can be drawn OR written out OOCly. We will choose a winner via RNG.)
2. Work towards preparing the island for your event
3. Make those flyers and submit them to Tom Nook (drawn or written OOCly is fine)
4. See what's going on in your dreams...
Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday

??? What the fuck? Did Kim Dokja just bite him? Joonghyuk looks at him dumbstruck, eyes blowing out and eyebrows fiercely furrowed. Well... It did shut him up, but it also looks like he's ready to grab the other man by the neck and yeet him into the river. Even his tail is upright, puffed out from confusion. ]
Why did you do that?
[ Answer correctly and you get to live. ]
no subject
Would you believe me if I said it was on accident?
[ Which it was. In a spur of nerves and huffiness he accidentally clipped his teeth on his lip when trying to kiss him. Reasons maybe he shouldn't talk a second before kissing.
Don't look at him like that. It really wasn't on purpose. Even if he's guiltily looking away, please believe him. ]
no subject
You expect me to believe biting is an accident.
[ Oh, Dokja. Joonghyuk is definitely looking because it's difficult to believe you've accidentally bit someone in a kiss. It isn't an easy fumble like biting your own tongue by accident.
However, he supposes he can figure out how Dokja accidentally grit teeth. He is an idiot with little experience. ]
no subject
Yes? I was nervous.
[ Like he said, he was nervous! How is that hard to believe? Especially with someone as little experience like Dokja. Stop mean to him... he's embarrassed. ]
no subject
This is Lie Detection Beta. Intimidation. ]
no subject
Sorry. [ Will an apology suffice? At least Dokja is use to the intimidation strat, even if subconsciously he wants to shrink further away because of it. He puts up enough front to deal with it since he knows well enough he's not guilty.
Again, he'll just keep his mouth shut next time he kisses him. Even if in a way he deserved it. ]
no subject
... This is nice, but strange.
[ To be normal, to not need to fight. ]
no subject
[ Dokja says with an amused twinkle in his eye, though he's aware of what he really means. With the intimidation fading he leans against him with that hand lowering to trace a jaw with a fleeting touch. Despite the intentions before, the distance now is once more intimate which has his voice growing quieter as he continues. ]
..Well when you consider the kind of situation we came from, I know the first weeks were hard to get use to. Had we been taken earlier I might have assumed it was a Scenario.
no subject
... You’re sure this isn’t a scenario?
[ It’s something Joonghyuk sometimes wonders. With all the strange things on this island, he considered the possibility that this may just be another scenario. Even if it’s unlikely... With Biyoo being the Dokkaebi King and the outer gods having found their role in the universe, the scenarios are no more.
Maybe he’s just feeling a little lost. He was created just to overcome those scenarios after all. Not much else was written about his story. ]
If the conditions were relaxation, I suppose you would have cleared. It’s a miracle.
no subject
Of course I'm sure. I'm a prophet, after all.
[ The corner of his eyes crinkle with mirth at that, as it references their meeting. Though he was close to considering it may be, if he hadn't seen the lines before arriving here. Those referencing the 'Most Ancient Dream.'
Looking closely, he wonders if Joonghyuk is troubled. Here was the man that had comforted Dokja when they arrived given how lost he felt. As fingers run through hair, a thumb softly brushes an ear.]
Assuming there was no time limit that is. [ It took him a while to actually start relaxing. He won't deny that. His tail sways over the sheets until he moves back down to resting his head in the man's lap. He kind of feels like taking a nap. ] ..Even though there's no more scenarios, there's still going to be plenty to do back home.
no subject
... You are no prophet, Kim Dokja. You are a liar.
[ Which is why he dropped the other man in the river, but he held some curiosity. For a stranger to be so ambitious, for a stranger to dare want to be his companion—it was Joonghyuk's graze with hope.
His ear flickers when the touch comes, but he doesn't shove Dokja away. He merely stays still and enjoys how those fingers comb through his hair. His tail curls around him, gently thumping every once in a while in satisfaction. ]
... There will be a lot to do. That's why resting when possible is important.
[ So they don't tire out when they return. ]
no subject
[ Dokja smiles a little wider, ushering the man to lower his head a little more so he can reach with those fingers in his hair. At least from where he's rested on the man's lap. Which doesn't make the best pillow for his head but it works. He has claimed this spot, thank you.
A thumb briefly brushes a brow as though to loosen the way they furrow. Joonghyuk should be relaxing as well, not just him. ] Do you mind if I nap a little here then?
[ His eyes lower half-lidded, feeling drowsiness blanket him as he continues to stare up at his partner. Though, he won't complain if Joonghyuk decides to nap with him as well. With the clear weather it's a nice spot to sleep a little. ]
no subject
[ Joonghyuk says that with a bite to his words, but lowers himself for Dokja to touch, anyway. It's not on purpose as it's instinctive, though the tough to his brow as him tensing in place.
His scowl drops a bit as he looks down at him, noticing his companion is feeling sleepy. Good. ]
Close your eyes.
[ He won't nap because they need someone to look out, but one of them should get rest. Especially Dokja. ]
no subject
Finally, both hands drop onto his own chest as he peers sleepily up at him. Does he look a little disappointed that Joonghyuk isn't joining him? Maybe. With a soft sigh, he turns onto his side to curl to his partner more, tail curving along them.
One eye peeks up with a wry smile. ] I love you.
[ The warmth that settles in his chest is lulling enough to have him dozing off almost shortly after. ]
no subject
Joonghyuk pokes his forehead when he utters those words. Not quite as harsh as previous times, but still enough to retaliate with some kind of noise. His expression doesn't contort from how it is, now does it seem to brighten, however his tail is slightly wagging behind him. ]
I know you do.
[ Good night, sole reader. Joonghyuk will just enjoy the warmth of the sun while they're out here. Maybe he'll fuss with Dokja's bangs a bit. His hair is getting a little long. ]
