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!))

1. ghost orchid farm (with a bit of general store)

[ After Keito finishes his now daily farming tasks, he runs over to the general store to grab a frankly absurd amount of stuff: most noticeably a few scarecrows, blankets, and a lot of paint. Through the power of other general store merchandise (and probably multiple trips), he eventually manages to bring this haul all the way back to the Ghost Orchid farm. And he sure doesn't waste any time, placing two of the scarecrows as decoration in front of the house.

The last scarecrow finds a new place around his area of the farm. Unlike the others, however, Keito's out to decorate it. Using the blankets, a sharp object, and paint, he tries his best to make comfy-looking clothes for the scarecrow.

After a while (and a few more adjustments here and there to its head), he wraps a green-dyed makeshift scarf around its necklace. ]

...It doesn't feel like it's enough?

2. town

[ Sometime after that, he can be found running around the entire town, radiating a lot of nervous energy that he's clearly trying to burn. ]

Did you need help with anything? Anything at all?

[ Something that feels like he's making headway with anything. ]

town;

[enkiboo]

[ Enkidu can be found with around town. ]

I do.

Are you any good at baking?

[driftedaway]

I wouldn't say I'm great at it, but as long as I follow a recipe, my baking tastes fine. [ Not that he does it a lot... ] Are you trying to make bread or something?

[enkiboo]

I see.

[ So maybe they should ask someone else? Well, might as well see what happens first. ]

No. It'd be a dessert. Any kind of pie, to be exact.

[driftedaway]

Pies are fun! Especially the ones with an interesting texture for crusts. I wonder if we can find the right sort of pan for it in one of the stores around here?

ghost orchids;

[liberazoth]

[ vayne is probably in the cottage with his own haul of stuff from the general store- namely... a fair amount of cloths, felts, and fabrics? and some stuffing. i hope all this stuff is in the shop but if there isn't we can pretend he took apart a pillow for this. he's all ready to do a fair amount of needlework, is what it looks like.

which is to say he probably sees keito doing his thing at the front of the house, so eventually he'll poke his head out to check on him, and. ]

Is it too small, or something...?

[ what's not enough. ]

[driftedaway]

[ He mulls over that, crossing his arms. ]

Hmm~ Maybe? I don't think he should be much taller... I guess he seemed tall back then?

[ This totally makes sense in his head. ]

[liberazoth]

Who's tall, exactly...?

[ is... the scarecrow supposed to be someone? ]

I just thought you were saying it wasn't enough because, I don't know, you didn't have enough fabric to make it more clothes or something. Did you mean something else?

[driftedaway]

Oh, that's what you're asking. I don't mean fabric necessarily.

[ He smiles. ]

I meant this isn't enough to resemble my best friend.
