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!)
MODS
[So. The mail box was just bursting when Lio woke up and after making sure none of it was for Ashe or Jude, he opened all of the...twenty-one packages and letters he somehow got?
Needless to say it looks like a yard sale is happening outside tent three right now, the scattered goods just all over the place. He spends a good part of the morning sorting out "things that are useful" (the DIY recipes, the clothes) and "things that I have no idea what they're for" (everything else not the litter box) and "what the hell" (the litter box).]
Time to Gather??
[After sorting all of that and getting it squared away somewhere, he figures he might as well start trying to get stuff to make stuff? So he's going to be chopping wood and beating rocks half to death with a shovel since apparently there's no pickaxes on this island.]

Did you find buried treasure?
no subject
[Just. So baffled.]
no subject
[How does a deserted island have a postal service? When was there even a postman?]
Who are these from?
[Curiously, Ren begins to pick through some of the items.]
no subject
[He gestures vaguely to the assortment of junk.]
Nothing seems rigged, at least...
no subject
[After a bit, something catches his eye. Ren picks up the coffee grinder from the pile, grinning a little.]
Well, this could be useful if we find some coffee beans.

[She paws at the flooring tile like a cat. Which, well, she is.]
Maybe you're supposed to make things out of it! Humans invent things all the time, right?
no subject
[Look if she wants to Catte he will let her Catte.]
More clothing, too, which is nice. I don't like sleeping in leather.

Well, would you look at that! Lio receives two golden nuggets and 8 iron nuggets from the rocks! ]
mail!
[ Well, she only got one. But still. ]
no subject
no subject
[ She left the necklace in question in her tent, but once she picks up that some of the items might belong to the people here, she's definitely gonna try seeing if it belongs to someone. ]
Definitely not as much as you got. Did you do something special to get so many things?

[ She doubts it, though. She peeks at his separated piles. ]
Do you mind if I look through your gifts? I don't need anything, I'm just curious to see what you have.
