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!))

Then you won't mind helping me with the rest.

[Whoops, you've been roped into it now, Sora.]

[aurevoirx2]

[ ...

Well, he smiles anyway, because he really doesn't mind. ] Sure, no problem!

[ Hopefully he doesn't mind some of them looking more... decorative when Sora gets bored by doing the same thing. Some of them might even end up looking like calaveras. Don't mind though, Beelzebub-san, he'll keep them goth for you! He'll even draw and cut out little hats from his pile of stationary to put on top of a few of them. maybe a black rose for one to be dramatic? ]

[sorathvau]

[He doesn't mind at all; he's not going to be a cop about it. The black rose is a nice touch.]

...Thanks.

[Because he remembers his manners.]

Now this place looks more exciting.

[When it's.........painted black, yeah.]

[aurevoirx2]

[ Was that a joke? Sora laughs anyway. ] It's very you, Beelzebub-san.

[sorathvau]

[Oh, he made him laugh…that gets a bit of a smile out of him. Treasure the moment.]

It’s still missing some touches to feel ‘mine’…but it will do.

[aurevoirx2]

What would you like to add, maybe I can help with that too?

[sorathvau]

…Glass tanks.

[No elaboration.]

[aurevoirx2]

That.... Might be difficult. Unless you know how to blow glass? There is a blacksmith place in town...

[sorathvau]

That’s not one of my specialties.

[Surgery? Yes. Smithing? No.]

…We’ll have to raise them outside.

[aurevoirx2]

...? Raise...?

[sorathvau]

There are creatures that live in the mines. I’d like to bring some back.

[aurevoirx2]

...? As pets? Or experiments? [ He tilts his head. ] Can they even survive in the daylight?

[sorathvau]

I’d like to study them. If they can survive out here is the first step.

[aurevoirx2]

I see... As long as you're careful about it, it sounds okay? [ Like don't unleash them on the whole town, Beelzebub-san. ]

[sorathvau]

I’m well used to this kind of work.

[Trust him, why not?]

I’ll make sure they don’t take over the farm.

[aurevoirx2]

Okay, I trust you know what you're doing, Beelzebub-san!

[sorathvau]

[Thank you, Sora.]

Maybe they can prove themselves useful. Who knows.

[aurevoirx2]

[ Wait... ] Actually, what kind of creatures are there? I haven't gone, so...

[sorathvau]

Some sort of crab, and a slime creature.

[Not the most exciting array of specimens, but-]

If nothing else, they could make good fertiliser.

[aurevoirx2]

[ He grimaces a little, but even he knows historically, pigment was often made with... questionable things, least to say. ]

Slime... that's living? [ Like video game slime and not like those squishy things people liked to play with? ]

[sorathvau]

[He nods.]

Ever seen it before?

[aurevoirx2]

No, the only slime I've heard of is something little kids play with these days. And from video games, of course.

[sorathvau]

Video games, huh…

[Is that what the kids are into these days…]

And other monsters?

[aurevoirx2]

Hmm, I don't have one at home so I don't know it very well. [ He's only watched Hinata play or played co-op with him. ] But, oh, I think Beelzebub-san is a boss in a lot of games? [ Well, Beelzebub-san but not Beelzebub-san, you know what he's getting at. ]

[sorathvau]

A boss? What do you mean?

[He's so unfamiliar help.]
