WEEK TWO
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.))

Better than dying in the hands of an owner who can't care for both. Leave one here, and at least someone'll continue tending to it.
[Probably. They look pretty healthy, close enough.]

[Though she has recently learned more about pets - and about farm animals, thanks to the literature in the community center.] I guess they're meant for more than just companionship. Everything on the farm has a job to do. [She looks away from the idyllic paddock to gauge his response.] Do you think a life like this is a happy one for them?
no subject
Even if I say no, do you expect to be able to something about it?
[As far as he's concerned, it's something of a pointless topic to consider even if they weren't in this situation.]
no subject
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.
no subject
Sounds like we ought to be talking about more than just a pair of farm animals, then. Or are you that desperate for an excuse to adopt them?
no subject
[Unlike some people she knows, however, Mio is willing to hear and be convinced by a persuasive argument on occasion... She just knows how hard her head can be, after all.]
You seem like a cynical person, but I can't say I blame you... I don't even know what your life has been like.
no subject
[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?
