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!))

[ It takes him a bit to steady himself after that, but he manages. ]

Yeah, thank you! I thought you were going to push me in for a while there.

I'm offended.

[Not really.]

Knox's 7th. It is forbidden for the detective to be the culprit.

[ That doesn't sound familiar to him, but he does have a kneejerk reaction to it. ]

Sounds cool. As long as the detective is guaranteed to be the detective, right?

[She eyes him with a level stare, momentarily taken aback slightly.]

Sharp.

True, there's no guarantee I am really the detective in this situation. There's little I can do about that unfortunately.

Yeah, only the narrator can confirm that! If they exist. But if you say you're the detective, then you might as well be.

[ That's totally how it works, right? ]

So, what do you makes of the situation, Miss Detective?

[ His tone is curious, as though he's looking at something unusual. ]

The game, you mean? Or something more specific?

Hmm... Sure, I'd like to hear more about the game.
