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!))

[He can barely see the damn keypad, but it's probably not great to ignore the message from this little device. He is definitely like a grandpa on Facebook and thinks she's texted him directly.]
I like apples. Why do you ask?
[Each messages has a delay of like five minutes. He's doing his best.]
no subject
[If she knew how to use emotes she'd send a smile there.
Takes several minutes for her to send another message]
Wait!!!! I forgot, what color? Red? Green?
no subject
I like blue.
[And another minute passes until he realizes:]
You mean the apples. Sorry. Any color. Red is good.
Where are you now?
[He's trying to figure out if these phones have a range on them, like a walkie-talkie... but why say that when he can just ask creepy questions instead?]
no subject
I'm at my farm! Chocolate Cosmos. It's the one with the nice flags at the entrance!
[Those flags being pieces of cardboard Colette hung from a string and placed as high as she could reach. Decoration!]
no subject
I am at the movie theater. Thats far away.
Do you have phones like this where your from?
[Love, Grandpa.]
no subject
[...why are there capitals at every word.
Before long another message arrives]
PLEASE HOLD ON, I THINK I PRESSED SOMETHING I SHOULDN'T HAVe
[Oh?]
Neverind, I think I solved it.
[Yup, Colette pretty much proves she hasn't touched a phone in her entire life]
no subject
Are you OK?
[In the space between her second and third messages, he has Concerned.]
What did you do? So I can avoid it too.
[Both of them accidentally activating the cell phones' self destruct function.]
