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!))

Uh...it wasn't me?
[ Alternatively, catch her jogging around town in some boots and overalls. It's a weird combination, but hey! She's gotta get her exercise in somehow.
Finally, anyone can see her outside of Flame Lily Farm with several sheets of colored paper. She's sitting near the front door, ripping and folding the paper, making something with them.
In either instance, she'll give a casual wave to anyone in her vicinity. ]
Joja Mart
[Colette approaches, teasing, and pokes the rubber chickens with a wary finger]
The same thing happened to me. Why did they have to make them so loud?
no subject
[ Shinobu's teasing, too, albeit a little rougher than Colette, but it's in good fun.
As for her question: ]
No idea. Maybe it's supposed to be a toy? I can't imagine how this would be any fun, though.
no subject
[Yeah, now this is a good mood to have. The cloud of murder threats is still there but it's easier to handle when you can at least joke around a little!]
Maybe it's a decoy? You toss it far away from you, and then it sounds loud, attracting the monsters and giving you the chance to escape. Makes sense?
[Or maybe as someone's joke weapon. Just give these to someone instead of swords and watch them fight]
no subject
[ She seems to seriously give this some thought. ]
You know, actually? That's not a bad idea.
[ She looks at the chicken, inspects it one more time. Hmm. Hmmm! ]
I'll give it a try if there's a threat that presents itself. Maybe you're right about that. I don't see why else someone would need this.
no subject
[What kind of town doesn't sell gels]
flame lily farm
[ faldeus is coming home with a bag from the general store-- a few packs of seeds and some farming tools like shovels. when he catches his cabinmate outside, however, he can't help but to stop. ]
Up to something?
no subject
[ It's nice to see him with some farming tools. At least that means he's willing to help with upkeep. ]
...Just...passing time.
[ She finishes folding the paper in her hands -- it's a paper flower (or something close to this, anyway). ]
Did you have a good shopping trip?
no subject
[ he chuckles, shrugging half-heartedly. ]
Just thought I’d bring ingredients for dinner.
[ … ]
Looking to decorate our place?
no subject
[ She'll cook her own meals, but she's still curious. At least he can cook, thank god. ]
And -- I guess so. It's not like I have anywhere else to put these.
[ She is amassing a small collection of paper flowers, it seems. ]
Honestly, I was trying to keep myself occupied more than anything, but if you think these would spruce up the place nicely, I don't mind putting them around the cottage.
jojamart
Of course not. The duck, right?
no subject
[ That thwack did not go unnoticed, though. ]
You hit your head pretty hard. Are you okay?
no subject
joja mart
Nope, it was me!
[ ...and squeezing it to the (slightly off) rhythm of Kotori no Uta. ]
no subject
Ugh, that sound-!
[ Why. Why this. ]
Please stop.
no subject
[ Sure enough, he stops. After a quack from the shopquack though, he sets it down where it used to be. ]
They're pretty fun, aren't they? Though they don't really sound like any chicken I've seen before.
