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!)
done i'm sorry again
[ nailed it???? ]
That is very true! Didn't think about it saving space like that but it does clear up room.
Yeah! I bet we could as well. If we're able to, I think it would be a nice way for people to get together outside of their tents and doing tasks.
no subject
You're so nice!! ｡ﾟ( ﾟ^∀^ﾟ)ﾟ｡
Yes! It would be a great place to take a break from fishing or chopping wood. It's all really hard work. Hopefully we can get started on it soon!
no subject
don't ever stop]Yeah! You're right. Everyone's been working so hard. ... Especially you Akamatsu-san! You definitely seem like a really diligent person.
If you're ever down, we can work on getting something started together sometime?
no subject
I would love to get started on something like that, though. I bet we'll continue to get more things in the future that we can put into a space like that.
no subject
Yeah! With the two of us teaming up, we can definitely make it a reality. If you don't use all the stuff for your tent, it sounds like great furniture to get started.
I look forward to working with you on this.~
no subject
So do I! I think we'll be using the bunk bed at least, but I could probably use some of the recipes. Maybe we'll get more things delivered soon.
no subject
That kaomoji doesn't help either oh my god. ]
I'D LOVE
[ OH HECK he pressed send too quickly. ]
Sorry! What I meant to say is. You're so talented and it's beyond incredible you've played for that long. I'd love to listen to you someday. (♡´艸`) Everyday, I'll cross my fingers for you that a piano will pop up!!!
[ kyaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! ]
Yeah! Taking care of your tentmates is definite priority.
no subject
Thank you! I'm sure both of us hoping for one will make one show up! I'll have to start thinking of what song to play for you. What kind of song do you want to hear?
Yes! I want them to be comfortable, and I'm happy sharing what I get.
no subject
Hearing any song from you would be a treat! (♡ﾟ▽ﾟ♡) I think...
I want to hear you play your favorite songs. ♡
