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!))

A lot of people are the same? ...I remembered mine, because I wrote them down right after I woke up.
aurevoirx2: (I'll remember them forever)

[personal profile] aurevoirx2 2024-03-09 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, like a dream journal? I think President Hase's talked about things like that before.
driftedaway: (and the dream is too)

[personal profile] driftedaway 2024-03-09 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
The very same. I have a lot of them filled out by now. [ ..."Had"? ]
aurevoirx2: (with everyone)

[personal profile] aurevoirx2 2024-03-09 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Eeh, no wonder you have such a writing style, you're already experienced! You shouldn't look down on it.
driftedaway: (to the beginning)

[personal profile] driftedaway 2024-03-10 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, thanks for the vote of confidence.

[ He does sincerely appreciate it. ]

I guess that's one way to look at it... I definitely don't want to look down on my dreams. They're a part of me.
aurevoirx2: (accept everything)

[personal profile] aurevoirx2 2024-03-10 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, it's nice to have good dreams isn't it. Things to live for.
driftedaway: (even on a cold night)

[personal profile] driftedaway 2024-03-10 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods, not wanting to deny that. ] I think so too. Dream or reality, I want everything to be interesting.
aurevoirx2: (I'll walk on)

[personal profile] aurevoirx2 2024-03-10 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Is your normal life that boring? [ Tilting his head. ]
driftedaway: (good day)

[personal profile] driftedaway 2024-03-10 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ] It's a good one—with nothing missing or anything too much. But it's always good for something new to appear, right?
aurevoirx2: (are all treasures)

[personal profile] aurevoirx2 2024-03-10 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, even if it's something bad?
driftedaway: (but we're good at waiting)

[personal profile] driftedaway 2024-03-10 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
That would be trouble...

[ He looks upwards, mulling that over. ]

But we're not going to always avoid conflict. So maybe even if it's something bad...it might bring us something important in the end.
aurevoirx2: (because the meaning)

[personal profile] aurevoirx2 2024-03-10 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I guess so... there's a lot of bad things that aren't okay, though, and won't get you anything in the end.
driftedaway: (when will something change)

[personal profile] driftedaway 2024-03-10 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you have a point there... I guess that's why some people say you have to choose your poison?
aurevoirx2: (goodbyla-la-la)

[personal profile] aurevoirx2 2024-03-10 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ You know, he has no rebuttal to that. ] I guess... so? And the lesser of two evils and all that.
driftedaway: (in trying to survive)

[personal profile] driftedaway 2024-03-10 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... I know that in my head, but I sure don't want to have to choose when it's like that.
aurevoirx2: (the words that advance to the next)

[personal profile] aurevoirx2 2024-03-10 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it certainly sucks, doesn't it.
driftedaway: (we are still waiting)

[personal profile] driftedaway 2024-03-10 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Sure does. [ He laughs a little, though it's not that full of his usual mirth. ] And it's just going to get more complicated when we grow up, isn't it?
aurevoirx2: (goodbye)

[personal profile] aurevoirx2 2024-03-10 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately..... Especially when the counselors start asking what you want to do, what school do you want to attend....
driftedaway: (and see things from another view)

[personal profile] driftedaway 2024-03-10 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
If they asked me right now, I wouldn't have an answer for them.
