WEEK TWO

23 Villagers

Three people have fallen and a tower has risen. Along with it, some of the restraints on your mind have dispersed and a memory has returned to you - is it precious, is it painful? Is it cherished, is it loathed?

Mercilessly, dawn breaks on another morning. The rooster still calls, and the crops still need tending to. Rise and shine, Puffin Town! It seems like the residents are not the only thing that has chosen to rise, as a few more establishments have opened up for exploration. The sound of moo-ing near the farms may feel especially inviting here - how about making some new additions to your farms, to drown out your loneliness?

There is no festival just yet but if you question the ducks on it, some excited quacking will herald fun things to come later in the week. Some of the ducks will also wave the gift notes from last week; regardless of murder, being kind to your neighbors is still encouraged! Can't let our beautiful town sink into gloom and doom, right?

(( OOC: Murder proposals are due by Tuesday at 4 PM EST / 1 PM PST, for the current week's murder, but feel free to submit for later weeks if you like!

We have also added a page to report your Astera planting - this does not need to have been threaded, we're just taking stock on an OOC level.

Further, the Gift Mechanic has been updated. All turned in threads will now yield a character specific item as a reward! We're only dipping into the random gacha once all personalized rewards have been given out.))

[hyperbloom]

Never a bad thing. We've got a lot of those around here.

[ Is she talking about bugs, or the people - anyway!! She doesn't care too much, other than the fact that pests might destroy their crops.

She looks at anything else that may be sitting around. ]

What else do you have?

[hyperbloom]

?

[hyperbloom]

What do you think.

[ It is absolutely a no and she should probably just say that. ]

[hyperbloom]

Yeah. Show me what you've got.

[ Putting her arm up! Let's battle, Zelos. ]

[hyperbloom]

[ ???????

It's not immediately obvious, but a closer look at her face will reveal that she is a little more flushed than usual. ]

That's not important and you know it.

[hyperbloom]

they are thank you
are y ou familiar with these then

[liberazoth]

I don't really know how it works, honestly.

[liberazoth]

Then yes; if I can find the correct material, that shouldn't be too hard to do.

[ it's a matter of managing to find something like a precious gemstone, now... ]

[truthdefiler]

How morbid. It's like you think I'm looking forward to people dying.

[Just a small and sassy grin.

It's dampened somewhat when her eyes shift to the cat again.]

[truthdefiler]

[Guess who saw the mechanics for regains involved giving people gifts and promptly did not do that. This rat.]

Elaborate?

[truthdefiler]

Carrots have 6.9 net grams in carbs per 100 grams.

[shamen]

[He's stopped trying too hard with smiling because it hurts his jaws now, and really, he isn't going to pretend the weekend had been a good experience.

So instead, he stares at this duck, confused.]

Are you asking for secrets, or giving them?

[shamen]

Ushiko
Gyu
Starapple

[He's going to add those to the suggestion list.]

Don't they normally warn you not to name pets you can't keep?

[shamen]

[That is the most suspicious way of calling someone over so he just kind of stares from the distance he was from. Uh.]

What is it?

[He's a bit touchy from. Events.]

alchemy lab

[shamen]

[He had his own reasons to go to the alchemy lab, but he stops right at the door when he sees this guy doing...

What's he doing?]

What are you doing?

[moonblades]

[What...what does she think comrade would be code for?]

You're right. I'll try and get around to everyone. As far as I'm concerned, you're welcome to come by Corpse Flower as you'd like.

[Amy's sticker sheet has extremely cute and bubbly-looking frogs, complete with blushes and exaggerated proportions.]

[moonblades]

[It's not a bad question. You can't always protect everyone, no matter how strong the urge is. That won't stop her from questioning. Mio climbs the crossbars on the paddock fence to sit on top of it, legs dangling.]

I don't know. Ignorance sounds worse to me. Even if there's nothing I can do, is there also nothing I can make better? Nothing I can change? I could turn a blind eye, or I could do the most that I can.

[duckinghell]

[ The duck nods vigorously, jumping up and down before ending in a twirl.

Let it iiiiiiiin! ]

[duckinghell]

[ First off, it points towards the scarecrow remains.
Then it makes the heart shape again before crossing its wings over its chest and shaking its head.
And lastly, it leaves its little wings at rest on its side.

It's a lot, but it does seem to try to be earnestly communicating with him. ]

[moonblades]

[Wow is it ok to just call people aliens?]

We do go swimming, and we've got communal baths. It's nothing I haven't seen before. It's mostly just, well, this place exists for the sake of being this place, right?

[You come to the spa to relax, without any expectations beyond that.]

[revelate]

[The concept of keeping creatures as pets is a new one to Noah, as is the notion that any sort of bond can be established with them. Why it hadn't occurred to him sooner is the same reason why many things that are the norm for others haven't: life is simply different where he comes from, void of many experiences that are common to everyone else here.

Noah looks into the horse's eyes, glossy and dark, and cautiously extends a hand to its muzzle. It's soft, warm, alive in all the same ways humans are.]

We didn't interact much with the animals on Aionios. We hunted them when we were in need of their meat, and that's as far as it went. I'd never stopped to wonder if they might make better companions than meals.

[revelate]

Mm. That's it, more or less.

[Noah's focus is centered on the sword in the middle, its blade slim and slightly curved at the tip.]

Colony-issue Blades were not particularly unique, either, but they were still ours. We were given a choice of weaponry and could therefore choose what suited us best.

[...]

But the weapon I favored was one given to me by a dear friend. Using anything else just doesn't feel quite right.

[collisionheart]

[ save her bibi. bibi save her. ]

Guess we’re… lucky?

[revelate]

[]

I'm a bit confused, but... let me hazard a guess. Do you have the scarecrow's heart?

[collisionheart]

yes, I have one at home
