Week 1
Weather: Clear skies all week!
- Arrival
At 9AM Monday morning, Tom Nook will take his place at the microphone once more. He has several bins in front of him that are filled with tools. Shovels, fishing rods, bug nets, watering cans, and axes. They look...well. Functional, but flimsy. Next to the tool bins are foldable carts that you can wheel around, presumably for the tools, and some Nook Inc. knapsacks. And now that the sun is out, you can see all of the red, yellow, and white cosmos growing about the island alongside all of the weeds.
Now. Whether you’re around or not, he’s going to start his announcements when a sizable group is present.
“Good morning, everyone! Now, I know yesterday was quite a rough start for all of us, but while we’re here, let’s make the most of our stay, hm? We have a few things to go over today.” He gives everyone his best smile (though he isn’t expecting much in return) and continues: “I know a lot of you must be hungry; overnight, we had another plane fly over seasoning, milk, eggs, and vegetables for us! Soon, we’ll have more ingredients; for now, if you need anything, the food we have on-hand can be found inside of the fridge in my tent.”
Well, that’s one thing taken care of, at least. It’s not much, but it’s better than nothing.
“Next, the tools! These are what you have to start with, and, well, they aren’t exactly the most durable...but they will last for a little while. I estimate 20 uses each -- but when they break, never fear, for we have DIY Recipe cards for you to use in order to craft these tools again! I’ve included the DIY cards for your tools inside of your knapsacks; they give you the ingredients necessary to craft different things. You’re free to use the workbench in my tent to craft your new tools after they break. My best advice is to lay the materials out in the general formation of what you’re crafting and let the workbench do the rest.”
If you reach inside of your knapsack, you’ll find the cards in there...along with a cellular device of some sort. “Ah, yes,” Tom Nook says, “those are your Nook Phones. So far, you’re only able to send mass texts to everyone and receive text and call alerts from myself. Feel free to play around with those as much as you’d like, they’re solar-powered; just try not to break them, yes?”
And then, finally… “Lastly, I would like to talk about currency. I’ll provide you our currency -- bells -- and I will buy anything from you! Weeds, fish, bugs...anything! I have an ATM set up in my tent for you to easily deposit and withdraw your bells if you wish, yes, yes. If you’re wondering what you’ll be using those for...we’ll be having some special features for you starting next week! … If we can’t send you back home by then, that is.”
He looks nervous at that last part, but doesn’t mention anything beyond that regarding your situation. Tom Nook smiles at you and closes out the announcements; you now have several things you can do this week.
Possible Objectives
1. Gather natural resources to sell to Tom Nook and make some money! Bugs and fish list can be found here.
2. Use those resources to craft a variety of different things -- DIY Recipes will speed things up and make them more refined, but you're free to do your own variant of crafting, too!
3. Do some other exploration; the island section of the setting provides you with possible ways to get more resources (bottles, x-marks, balloons, etc.). Shaking trees and hitting rocks are also ways to get special items as well! If you are going to do these methods of exploration, please write “MODS” in your subject header and ping us on Plurk or Discord so we can reward you appropriately! All we ask is that you try not to go too overboard with this method of exploration (ten times a week per person, as an exaggerated example); use your best judgment!
As far as resource gathering + currency goes, we won't be keeping track of those so feel free to handwave as much as you'd like; as long as it's within reason (i.e. a character getting 1 million bells by the end of this week is...a little extreme).
Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday
(OOC: Welcome to your Week 1 Log! We apologize for the info dump; Mod Coco who plays Tom Nook has work and will not be able to NPC throughout the week, so we wanted to get the information to you folks as soon as possible. That being said, our OOC Questions top level is available for you to use!
And last but not least, we have a Weekly Plotting Post for you all to use. We aren't sure how these will shake out, but we thought we should give them a try anyway.
As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let us know! Have fun!)

Welp.]
Alright... Let's...do this?
no subject
Oh hey, it's you! The guy who killed god.
[ He doesn't even notice the bottle's landed on them... ]
no subject
Just "Ren" is fine, really.
[He doesn't mind people using his first name here even if they don't know him super well. Why not.]
no subject
[ He doesn't mind calling people by their first names at all! For him, he's so used friends and casual acquaintances calling him by his last name but maybe one day he'll be open to being called Kiyosumi.
As he was getting ready to say something else, he finally notices the bottle landing on them and just sorta stares at it.
Oh. ]
Ah... haha, I guess it's on us, isn't it?
no subject
[Nodnod! And then he blinks and glances down at the bottle.
Welp.]
Huh... So it is.
[There's a bit of a pause there as Ren tries to figure this out.]
How should we do this?
no subject
How does he say "I haven't even had my first kiss yet" without sounding lame. ]
I'll out myself and say that this is my first time playing this game so hmm... I'm a little unsure. Uh. Have you ever kissed anyone Ren-kun?
[ This.
This is a great first question to someone you just met in person. ]
no subject
[I mean it definitely an ice breaker.]
no subject
[ He contemplates his options and lets out a sigh. ]
If you were a girl, I'd say smooch without any hesitation.
[ Why you lyin bro. ]
no subject
[Ren just gives a curious hum, looking at him.]
no subject
You know what. Heck it!! He wants to be cool too!!! And not lame.
Suddenly he stands up and confidently shouts. ]
I guess that's fine, though! Ren-kun, how do you feel about kissing?
[ Sengoku. Why...why didn't you just pick dare ]
no subject
Ren can't help but quirk a smile at Sengoku's bravado.]
Well, there must be something good about it with how hyped up it is.
no subject
Thankfully, he has yet to realize that practically announced to all of the island: HEY EVERYONE!!! I'M GONNA KISS REN!!!!!!! or god so help him. Also was it just his imagination or was Ren a bit flustered too? HMMM. ]
Wahaha! I-I'll try my best to live up your expectations.
[ He clearly has no idea what he's doing. Using all of his willpower to summon whatever bit of courage he has, Sengoku places his hands on Ren's shoulders... ]
no subject
no subject
You okay there?
no subject
[ Said while still glancing to the side. He's fine. ]
no subject
[Yeah, he's starting to feel bad for the poor guy. After a bit of thought, he comes to an idea.]
This should be enough to fit the bill, right?
[Ren leans in a bit, and--have a little smooch on the cheek, Sengoku.]
no subject
Ok so he's never received any sort of kiss from anyone in his life and he never expected that it would happen here. With a dude. And if he were being truthfully honest...he doesn't dislike it. This is a first for him. ]
Y-yeah! Totally. Hahaha... [ Oh god he's interally dying. ] Geez, you're actually a pretty smooth guy, Ren-kun.
no subject
[He doesn't really go out of his way to be one, but he guesses he must have some kind of charm. People wouldn't have gravitated towards him back in Tokyo if he didn't. Either way, he's glad that Sengoku didn't burst into a ball of fiery embarrassment, and it really wasn't bad? He can kinda get the appeal.]
no subject
[ It took him a minute to respond since he had been in a bit of a daze. He had been taking this all in and was trying to figure out how to go about this.
Somehow, he feels a little lame just ending it right there. ]
Hey, Ren-kun. Do you mind giving me your hand for a second?
no subject
Need to borrow it for something?
no subject
[ Ok Sengoku. You brought this onto yourself, don't chicken out now!
After swallowing his nerves down, he brings the other boy's hand up towards his own lips and places a very quick peck on it. Despite looking a little red, he manages to smile after letting go of his hand. ]
Now we're even~.
no subject
Guess we are. That wasn't too bad.
no subject
Yeah? Glad to hear that. Guess it was a first for the both of us. Thanks for agreeing to uh... [ a beat. ] kiss.
[ THAT PROBABLY SOUNDS WEIRD BUT IT'S OKAY he'll roll with it. ]
no subject
[It definitely wasn't an experience he'd seen coming, but hey. Why not?]
