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.))

[Mio gasps, surprised and worried. Perhaps she sees the hesitation in his reply, though, because she doesn't commit to pushing Vayne much harder.]
It must be difficult now. You must miss them quite a lot.
no subject
[ so. fun things. ]
But I guess ... I do know what it is that was blacked out on my plaque now.
[ or, well. who, rather.
he's not touching that last comment. ]
no subject
Have you tried looking at your plaque again? Does it look any different? [It would be even more intensive memory meddling if those things that none of them could see were snapped back into place as easily as fitting a button. Erika's Master had been visible on hers - it was one of the reasons they were even able to drill down into the missing pieces in the first place - and Mio is trying to turn over the connection in her head without prying into his memory so deeply.]
We can probably guess that all of the redacted information is related to things that were taken from us. I think that's reasonable.
no subject
I've already checked. It still looks the same. ... [ and maybe he notices that she's walking on tenterhooks around him, because after a moment he offers: ] It's fine, though. I don't ... I don't mind talking about it. It's just ... strange, I guess, to think something could have made us forget that much. Before I came to the academy, Sulpher was the one who taught me everything I know, after all.
[ strange is one word for it, maybe. uncomfortable is another. ]
But yeah. That's ... I think that's fair. We'd have to check with 2B if we want to be sure, but that would depend on if she got hers back too.
no subject
Good point. If we see her, we can ask.
You think there's more missing. ["Know" there's more missing would be the correct way to put it. Mio, too, knows there's more missing going well beyond the items that they lost. Saying it straightaway might kick up a panic, but it's better to get it on the table now. Better not to turn a blind eye.]
no subject
and how much more can they be made to lose...? ]
I ... think it's definitely possible, yeah. [ no hard yes from him but ... given how much was taken from some of them, well. it's definitely something worth acknowledging, unsettling as it may be. ]
