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.))

[ No dice. This is fine, though, it’s not like she’s sneaking around… ]

I was going to just… drop this off…i [ without talking to anyone… mission: failure ] Is Bibi here?

[collisionheart]

[ Right. That. Amy doesn’t know what kind of answer she had been expecting. ]

Y-yeah… I don’t really know how anyone could expect to get away with something like that…

[collisionheart]

they’re cards used to tell fortunes

[duckinghell]

[Nodnodnodnod. Yes! Sekrets.]

[Do you have any, Amy?]

[duckinghell]

Quack.

[ This duck blinks and flaps one covered wing in an... assuring? gesture. ]

[hyperbloom]

thank you Amy I am glad you understood what I meat

[moonblades]

Don't think you'll have to.

[With a speed that's clearly a mix of training and natural aptitude, Mio bolts off down the path and back toward town.

... (Spongebob voice: five minutes later)

Beelzebub won't be waiting long before she reappears on the horizon, carrying another skewer and a little cup of what seems to be soft-serve ice cream. She's short of breath but nowhere near exhausted.]

I figured you both might like a little dessert.

[collisionheart]

…does it have to be mine?

[unenvying]

[ on Tuesday morning wei wuxian can be found at the livestock area where he's arguing with a... particularly difficult donkey. he has apples in his hands and he seems to be trying to coax/bribe said donkey into helping him with planting things, like, please... little apple.........

or you might find him at the food stalls because a duck chef may be quacking at him in Horror because that. sure is a lot of chilli peppers that wei wuxian is adding to his noodles. that soup broth that was originally clear? it's red now. he will offer it to any brave soul that's willing to try said spicy noodle concoction!

he's also poking around the alchemy lab trying to make different concoctions because it Seems Like Fun. anyone is welcome to join in the chaos!!! ]

[collisionheart]

[ Threat: spotted. Amy takes a tiny step back. Is this about to be Revenge of the Ducks??? ]

livestock area

[collisionheart]

[ Amy has some strawberries in her hand, and had been venturing towards the chickens, but the sight of Wei Wuxian arguing with a donkey makes her stop and stare. It’s… pretty funny, really. ]

I don’t think donkeys can plant things…

[duckinghell]

[ This duck tilts its head in confusion, but doesn't move from its spot.

It puts the sheath on the knife, so she doesn't have to look at it. ] Quack quack.

[collisionheart]

[ A peace offering!!! ]

Why do you have a knife?

[moonblades]

[And here's Mio, leaning over to get a better look without actually peeking at what Amy's written down.]

Thanks for your contribution! [She sounds a little bit like a Nopon...what a strange position to be in. Shaking off the chill that goes down her spine, Mio taps the sheets of assorted cute stickers.] Would you like a sticky picture thing?

[snuffing hell she sounds like a nopon.]

[sorathvau]

Somewhere.

[Helpful.]

I can take it for you.

[He says, with an armful of kitten.]

[collisionheart]

[ Small shuffling-like steps to approach Beezelbub. She holds it out by the basket so he can take it (???) by the handle (???). Her arms are completely extended to hold it as far as possible. ]

[collisionheart]

[ Ah, not a conversationless interaction after all. That’s okay. This isn’t so bad. ]

…a sticker?

[duckinghell]

[ The duck puts a wing to its chin, and then does a series of gestures that pretty much ends up like incomprehensible flapping while quacking.

At the end, this duck goes back to its pondering stance. ]

[collisionheart]

you’re welcome

the buttons are really small. you’re doing a good job

[linearcrash]

Whoa! I didn't know a bird could be so badass. [ How do you do that with your flap flaps ]

[moonblades]

[Oh, that's so much easier to say. She's going to play it right off and move forward.]

Yeah! I picked up a whole mess of them because I thought they looked fun to use... but I'm realizing I'll never get through all of them. So I might as well share them, right?

[collisionheart]

[ ?????

Amy doesn’t think anyone is looking, so she does a small and brief imitation of the duck wings, then points to the knife. Are they communicating now. ]

[unenvying]

[ his entire life is a tragicomedy at this point, truly. reduced to arguing with a donkey..... ]

Technically they can't, but they sure are supposed to be able to help cart things around?

[ sighing!! ]

It just refuses to move and I'm running out of bribes.

[collisionheart]

[ Well, that’s kind of morbid. She understands. ]

Right. I’ll take one. Thank you.

ACCESSORY/JEWELRY COMMISSION

[liberazoth]

[ earlier in the day vayne can be found busy at the blacksmith! for what reason? well, you see, later in the day for the festival, vayne's simple booth setup has a small assortment of trinkets available- simple copper necklaces and pendants, collars, star shaped charms and bangles, that sort of thing, free for the taking. it's kind of on the honor system for someone to not just snag everything, because vayne isn't going to be manning the booth at all times...

the craftsmanship is solid if a little more on the plainer side of things than anything too elaborate, but there's also a cute jojamart notebook and pen set out on the table with a written note left:

If you want anything more specific, leave a request here with your name and I can try to accommodate if you're willing to wait a little longer.

- Vayne

if you catch vayne while he's attending to the booth, though, he also has a couple bars of solid gold sitting next to him, if someone wants to personally request something a little sparklier. the bars of gold are not going to be left unattended. ]
