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.))

Isn't the Shepherd or whatever taking care of the dogs? [ He has no idea ]

[driftingknight]

The Shepherd...?

[A blank look for a moment.]

Do you mean the Sheriff? Adela-san did say she was fond of dogs, yes, but I haven't seen her there when I've stopped by. I would have thought she would be far too occupied with her other duties to spend much time looking after the dogs, as much as she likes them.

[linearcrash]

Close enough.

[ Will he learn the proper names? Probably not. ]

Huh. So the ducks are taking care of them without getting chewed on? [ Wao ]

[driftingknight]

I... suppose so. Perhaps they make sure to give them plenty of treats so the dogs aren't tempted?

[Help why is he actually thinking seriously about this now...]

[linearcrash]

I hope so. While I don't really care one way or another, the little guys aren't half bad. [ And deserve better than to be monch on ]

[driftingknight]

They're certainly hospitable enough to strangers, much less ones who aren't even of the same species. I would say we all owe them for that.

[It's why he was drawing those pictures for them!]

[linearcrash]

It's pretty weird when you think about it. Not sure what the hell they get out of making us food or giving us stuff.

[driftingknight]

Yes, I do wonder... they seem to be entirely self-sufficient, with no need for any sort of help from any of us. Perhaps they're simply friendly, but...

[Hmm.]

[linearcrash]

Hey, think they also need us to be planting those plants or whatever.

[driftingknight]

The Asteras, you mean? "A favorite of the spirits here," was it...

[linearcrash]

Wait. What do they mean by spirits? The ducks?

[driftingknight]

... could the ducks be the spirits?

[IT'S KIND OF A WILD THOUGHT, but. It's also not impossible.]

[linearcrash]

Wonder if that makes them like summons. [ Or ghosts. Spoopy ]

[driftingknight]

I'm wondering a great many things now.

[But will any of them actually bear fruit (ha ha)]

It is rather unfortunate that we can't really question the ducks.

[linearcrash]

... [ Thinking before giving a wave of his hand as if dispelling something. ] All of this wondering is giving me a headache.
