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!))

First off, it is true.

Secondly, it's one of those details that's particularly hard to account for with the understanding that we don't necessarily know what we're missing. But it's also a possible motive. If we get out of this place, we remember important details about ourselves.

[pimpplan]

Then why not just bring it up from the jump? Paranoia's a great motivator, but someone's gonna end up looking stupid if it just turns out to be nothing.

[ also, probably dead. ]

[truthdefiler]

Mm. Good point.

[Maybe it was a little mystery for her? Little treat for Erika?]

Memories also impact behavior. If you take away certain memories, you get a completely different motive. Say, trying to save someone who is already dead.

[ Shifts in her seat, displeased.

The example doesn't get to her but the line of thought is... not comforting. ]

[jarcrash]

You're all in on them wanting us to do a blood ritual and I don't disagree but their framing of it is 'please do not drain an entire body and do a blood ritual, pretty please with a cherry on top', isn't it?

Reverse psychology.

[truthdefiler]

Their actions are a little puzzling to me. But being told to stay here indefinitely by people who presume to hold authority over us would work as a pretty solid example of reverse psychology.

[Like, Erika is happy to stay for now at least but she gets why some people don't care for it.]

The more murders occur, the more fruits they have.
