WEEK ONE

WEEK ONE
26 Villagers


After the news from the town hall, Puffin Town might not seem as tranquil as before—if it ever did. But the sun dawns, and the rooster crows on a new week, that seems peaceful enough, for now. There's farming to be done for those who don't want to subsist off the vast canned food selection at Joja Mart, or you could take up your hand fishing or even venturing into the mines.

If you want to lay around on the grass taking count of the shapes in the clouds no one will stop you, an eager duck might even stop by to give you a pillow; but the cost of the harvest looms overhead, even if you choose not to see it.

And so too does: confetti? Monday, at precisely noon, everyone will find themselves showered with confetti from seemingly nowhere. The culprit largely seems to be the ducks, but if you're somewhere closed off like bathroom, there's no obvious instigator in sight. Though if you squint real hard, you might see the wisps of something? It's hard to see through all the colorful paper, though. Regardless, you'll soon find yourself accosted by a duck with a flyer, printed and worn:

!
Festival!

The Colors You Want to See Festival!
Do you find the walls of your cottage drab? Do you want to add a special touch to make your home YOURS? Stop by the general store this week and pick up some art supplies to decorate your life! NOTE: Puffin town does not take responsibility for any damage incurred during the decorating process. Participation will be rewarded with an item from the community stockpile! Please see the event organizer in the community center to submit your polaroid photograph of your entry. (Polaroids are available at the general store.)
Maybe calling it a festival is a stretch, but it's certainly a group activity nonetheless. And hey, there's even prizes! The duck, ever eager, presses another paper into your hand, though this one is handwritten, in a cursive elegant hand.

!
Gift Giving

Someone told me that receiving a gift is a reward in itself. But if you share with others, you deserve something tangible, don't you? Try it, you might be surprised at what you receive.
(( 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!))

I heard everything grows so quickly! In about a week. It's really amazing, I can't wait to see it happen.

[It's not like Colette doesn't want to leave, but she wants it to be a way that both keeps everyone alive, and doesn't involve the murderrrrr]

Do you think if someone just sat down and watched the plants for a week straight, they'd see them growing super fast?

[ or is it like one of those things where they only grow when they're not looking. they look away for 5 minutes and suddenly the sapling they planted is a tree behind them. ]

Good question. Like how when you stare at a pot of water it doesn't boil?

[At some point you'll have to blink at the end of the week and then suddenly there's a fully grown melon plant in front of you]

Something like that. I know they said the soil here is really fertile, but.

That still seems really strangely quick.

The soil may be full of magic. A little too much. I hadn't heard of magic being used for growing plants but it'd make sense!

[Surely someone in the entirety of the Tales games has thought of using magic for mundane things like agriculture]
