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!))

Oh. It’s for the seeds…

[ Maybe the ground should just swallow her. ]

Corpses are fertilizer, so I thought… we should try everything…

Worth a shot, but I dunno.........I don't know if that stuff has enough blood.

[ Amy sits back on her heels and wipes her forehead. She just smears dirt all over herself. ]

Maybe, but… I don’t want to take their word for it.

...No, I get it.

[Hmmmm. He's squatting down to look at the hole.]

Are you just going to dump it all in?

[personal profile] collisionheart 2024-03-05 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ but not stinkier than a whole body????????????????? ]

O-oh. I hadn't thought of that. It's outside and it'll be buried?

[ oh no...... should she drop this whole idea..... ]
lovebombing: (change raising)

[personal profile] lovebombing 2024-03-05 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[wow why would he ever have an experience in burying a body he's just a merchant]

I suppose so, but you need to dig deeper! Bodies are like, several feet down and all.
collisionheart: (005)

[personal profile] collisionheart 2024-03-05 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ….?!?!? ]

I-I’m not trying to bury a body! This is just from the store!

[ wait. oh no. is he saying there’s already a body down there??!! ]

I'm....that's not what I'm saying, miss! I'm just saying to mimic one, you have to dig real deep!
collisionheart: (068)

[personal profile] collisionheart 2024-03-05 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh. duh.

why does this guy know so much about burying bodies. ]


… I guess I have a lot further to go.

[ she looks at the little divot she’s made. she had not brought back a real shovel. agony. ]
lovebombing: (fake check)

[personal profile] lovebombing 2024-03-05 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[it's fine :)]

How about you take a break from it for now. Get a snack! This seems like a lot to do.

[personal profile] collisionheart 2024-03-05 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I can’t… I really need to figure out how to get home…

[ Thinking about how many missed calls she must have makes her stomach feel terrible. She drops her head a little, totally exhausted. ]
