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!))

[Colette is pretty decent at cooking! But definitely not while lacking a recipe]
no subject
[ He's never actually baked donuts before... ]
Maybe they'll have a cookbook at the store?
no subject
[Encouraging Keito to experiment and see how it goes!]
no subject
[ It definitely sounds like it'd be a lot of fun! ]
no subject
[And indeed, if he does, he'd find Colette having gathered ingredients in a hurry, forgetting the strawberries because of the short notice. Whooops]
no subject
Hello, you're Colette [ -san ], right? Nice to meet you, I'm Keito.
[ He tilts his head at the sight of the ingredients. ]
Oh, I could have grabbed those on the way here. Sorry for forgetting to ask what I should bring!
no subject
[She's pretty much beaming with pleasantness. She shakes a hand]
Don't worry, it's all fine! We have the flour, we have the everything else. And now with the strawberries, we're ready!
[...........]
...wait, the strawberries...
[She doesn't have them. Colette looks up to Keito -- wow, you're tall, buddy]
Did you bring them...?
[Pretty silly to want to make strawberry donuts and forget the important part. It's kind of embarrassing, especially for the one who was picking ingredients around]
no subject
[ He does as well, the picture of a large dog wagging his tail. Anyway, when she talks about the strawberries, he tilts his head, thinking. ]
Not right now, but give me some time and I'll grab some.
[ It's still week 1, so the strawberries probably aren't ready quite yet, but he'll do his absolute best to look for something like strawberry jam or something similar. Hopefully he can find one to swiftly bring back. ]
