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!)

Then I'll go to you.
I don't really know how I feel about this place, though.
Less a vacation and more like...
Just how life always is.
no subject
It's a good thing they aren't meeting face to face. Those words make Sengoku contemplate just a little. ]
The circumstances surrounding how we got here is really weird, so I don't blame you.
How life always is...
Don't tell me you've done something like this before.
no subject
But okay.
I won't tell you.
[ haha (': ]
no subject
(ʘᗩʘ')
Hold on!!! I take that back, I really want to know now.
no subject
All I meant was that falling from the sky and dumped in some strange new world surrounded by strangers with wings and claws and fluffy ears trying to kill you without knowing what happened or where to go or what to do
isn't new.
It'll be fine this time too.

[ PRESS X FOR DOUBT... is what he wants to do. But after two truths and lie, he'll almost believe anything at this point. ]
no subject
Not exactly the same, but something like it.
Honestly I expected more blood.
So it's a little disappointing.
no subject
Why are you disappointed with the lack of blood?
[ Bro. Bro. ]
no subject
That is SO weird.
no subject
But I think it's a good thing? Being dropped into a peaceful place instead of a bloodbathe sounds more appealing to me.
Unless this is like, a calm before the storm kind of situation.
no subject
Easier to deal with.
The skeleton would make more sense.
We'll just have to wait and see.
no subject
no subject
But when there's conflict, it's easier to decide what to do.
Right now, I don't know what to do with myself.
It's tough.
no subject
Ok, I see.
It is tough when you don't really know what to do... hm.
Have you had mostly conflicts in your life?
no subject
No.
It's been pretty okay.
What about you?
[ We're changing the subject! yeah! ]
i died at that image omg
[ And you know, NOT KILL A MAN MINATO...... ]
It's alright! After learning about other people's worlds, mines is definitely more boring in comparision.
no subject
Boring's subjective, though.
Were you bored?
Was it fun?
That's more important. Not comparing it to other worlds.
no subject
Boring might have been the wrong word to use. I guess compared to some people being terrorists or putting bullets in people's heads, it's a little less thrilling.
no subject
Tennis and girls sounds like quite the life already.
Ever had a girl be mad at you?
That's scarier than facing down the barrel of a gun.
no subject
Yes, I have.
[ war flashbacks to alexis but he's not saying any more than that. ]
Sounds like a personal experience of yours as well.
no subject
Absolutely do not recommend.
no subject
I'm almost scared to ask what happened.
no subject
I'd rather not relive it.
It turned out okay, though...
I apologized to each of them, and we're still friends.
no subject
Well, as long as you apologized and are still friends, then that's great.
