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.))

Hmm...

[So ducks can disassociate too...]

How's your memory? Does it feel a bit fuzzy, like you've forgotten anything?

[duckinghell]

[ It quacks with a quizzical tilt of its head. Looks like it doesn't comprehend Noah's questions. ]

[pimpplan]

Who are you talking to when you say "everyone"...?

[pimpplan]

[ He pauses and thinks for a second. Then, with no hint of irony: ]

You need help in navigating the ways of romancing people other than yourself, right? And you've come to me for tips?

[ :) ! ]

[provocatives]

Hmph...

[Well, it's not like he can stop her if she wants to take a cow or three either, they don't even live on the same farm. So, there's not much he has to say in response to that, although what's said after is... hm.]

Awfully understanding of you. And if I say I've done any number of unspeakable atrocities to others? What then?

[revengier]

[ Honestly, Kurapika has got to commend him for his attitude. ]

...Why would I ask someone that's desperate enough for a kissing booth for tips? Besides, I don't have time for romance anyway.

[pimpplan]

You need help? We can start at the top again, if you're a little flustered.

[ WINK. ]

[pimpplan]

You're falling head over heels for my charms, and you can't even bear the thought of missing a once-in-a-lifetime chance?

[ Yes, she should say that. ]

[pimpplan]

With pleasure.~

[ let's fucking gooooooo! I rolled an 18 [checks wrist] three days ago and just kinda forgot how to exist. so he???? actually tries????? wow. ]

[pimpplan]

Come on, you know as well as I do that doesn't mean anything. My old man sure didn't think so.

[ and whatever standards he has only makes Zelos wish whatever spouse he has good luck. godspeed skyler ]

Congrats on the family, though. I'm sure you're proud.

[theotherww]

Marriage means something to some people. [It does to him, and to his wife technically, given she only bothered with Beneke to hurt him.] Ah, but you have a philandering father. No need to wonder where you get it from.

And of course I am. Walter Jr.'s grown into a fine young man, and Holly has a bright future ahead of her.

[theotherww]

It's not worth apologizing over--

[He pauses, admittedly surprised at just how good these look. It brings a comforting sense of nostalgia and...gratitude? Yes, that's the feeling that makes his standard expression soften a bit.]

Ah. This is very thoughtful, Colette.

[shamen]

The confetti is the grand prize?

[What the...? He almost laughs, but that will clearly show he finds it funny, so he coughs instead. Gotta keep the tsundere image or something.]

Well, why not? Try to stay away from the target.

[He just needs a few more tries, he'll get the hang of the aim.]

[truthdefiler]

[Hmmmm, what if she fucks with him a little bit.]

The audience.

[moonblades]

[Erika still ends up on the receiving end of a glare that's more harmless pout than anything. Since she's seen Mio genuinely irritated and even angry before, it shouldn't be hard for her to know it's not all that serious.

Then she leans back against the jets that she now expects to feel, thank you, and -]

Ah.

That's rather good, actually. [She's melting.]

[enkiboo]

[ Enkidu takes the book carefully and opens it, excitedly flipping carefully through the pages.

Though, they look on over when Kurapika manages to answer. ]

"Nen" sounds like it can be quite the difficult aspect to deal with. It sounds potentially as if someone's energy became a bit more alive, though I can tell the small differences right away.

...Are you a Nen user, Kurapika?

[enkiboo]

[ CLEARLY...if only that happened.

Alas, that so happens to not be the case, though. As it is, with Niles ferrying his questions towards Enkidu, they're not surprised. ]

Yes, there is. I suppose it might also be the result of a memory I received.

[ Or regained, as it were. Maybe it is unwise to say that, but it's fine. ]

I was reminded of the mortality of other living beings; even beyond the ones I don't truly know in this world we've been stolen to.

[enkiboo]

It sounds like a nice place to be. Likely more safer too.

[ They say that without knowing that it's true, because they sure don't know what's going on over there, haha.

They watch Colette's efforts regardless, including her failure. ]

...Well, you're just starting, right? Isn't it true all skills and ability need to be trained before getting better at it? Even the most simplest ones.

[enkiboo]

I don't know what either of those two are.

[ They say pointedly. But are curious... ]

...Not too close, I'd think. But I was beginning to think we were friends, or starting somewhere towards that.

[enkiboo]

That would be certainly hard when we still don't know too much about one another.

But, it seems everyone who was brought here appears to be skilled in some way. Or, what I observed so far; I really can't say it's the same for everyone.

[ These are their initial thoughts, spaced out quickly than anything; not anything too deep just yet. ]

[linearcrash]

Eidolons are these summons you could use to help out in fight, yo. They use up life force to use, so normally we're pretty restricted in using them.

[ Wow he actually knows a thing. ] Moglin is this flying fuzzy creature that helps out in the class, yo. They help with mission briefings and I think they are something like Eidolons but no one really knows. They are just there and helping out around Akademia.

[ They can get back to Sora in a moment ]

[enkiboo]

Those sounds dangerous. I hope you haven't had to use them at all.

[ Enkidu can understand why they might be needed; a big fight being a thing and all. ]

...It's too bad you don't have an image of what this Moglin looks like. I'd be curious to view its appearance.

[ Really! Alas, Enkidu has no access to Moglin pics or literature (?) ]

[linearcrash]

We only use them when we really have to, yo. It's fine though. Normally we're brought back after it.

[ Like it's nbd. It's fine ]

Hey, maybe I could try drawing one?

[enkiboo]

Brought back home?

[ Enkidu doesn't realize he might mean something else...

But at the offer, they look definitely interested. ]

If you could, I'd like that. I think there's a lot of art materials hanging around so yo won't have too much trouble getting what you need.

[linearcrash]

Huh? What do you mean brought back to home? [ What is even a home ]

Yeah? I haven't really gotten a chance to look around. [ His name is Ken Nine and he only knows beach and food places. ]
