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!)

That said, she seems in pretty high spirits tonight, picking at the fish a bit more than she normally would and waving people over if they seem to be wandering over to the party itself.]
Good to see you here - are you enjoying yourself?
no subject
Other than the game that I was dragged into, things could be worse.
[ he won some cash money betting on crabs earlier, so that put him in better spirits. ]
And you?
no subject
[We've got Stuff With Sea Life and we've got, like. Kissing?]
I think if I joined the one that's going now I'd just pick Dare every time! Which seems more fun to me, but also a little mean? Even if everyone's really nice.
no subject
[ because ew, not interested in any of that whatsoever. ]
I'm more concerned with fishing and making sure our supply of meat is sufficient for the day.
[ he's...he's no fun. i'm so sorry rin. ]
...I'm sure you can find other ways to enjoy yourself today, though, if you haven't already.
no subject
[...at least you aren't, like. trying to make her smash something's head with a rock within the first ten minutes.]
Sometimes it's enough just spending time with people, though.
no subject
Huh. Arisato? Really, now.
[ he sounds...a mix of mildly intrigued and annoyed at that. ]
What makes you say that?
no subject
[...SHE GENUINELY DID MEAN THAT COMPARISON AS A COMPLIMENT.]
no subject
[ SOMEHOW... he has doubts about minato... ]
no subject
[...]
Even if...I don't really like what we have to do to get it...
[...She's sort of sheepish about that last part, at least...]
no subject
[ he sighs a little and folds his little wolf arms over his chest. ]
He seems to be more eccentric, but if those are truly his goals, then I suppose we'll get along just fine. And if you're uncomfortable with what we need to do to get meat, then just leave it to those who aren't. We'll make sure you won't go hungry either way.
[ everyone's gotta stick together, after all. ... even if he'd personally never say that himself. ]
no subject
[She grins at that, offering a thumbs-up.]
I've just never, uh... Hunted. Anything before. It's not something we have to do where I'm from, I'm from the city, so...
no subject
[Serval is toting a... green-and-white panda plush in her arms while munching on a plate of fish.]
Back home we didn't have a lot of fish in the savannah, and we just ate Japari Buns anyway. So this is really interesting! What about you?
no subject
[sheeeeeee doesn't like it it's kind of gross but SHE IS. MANAGING...]
But yes, I'm having a good time here! It's nice seeing everyone together like this.

[LIKE, WHAT IS THIS SMOOCHING THING THEY'RE DOING OVER THERE...]
