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!))

I guess I could have some plants coming from the sides of the bed... but I don't know what to do about the centerpiece. [ Like, right above his bed. ]

[jarcrash]

Plants are a nice idea! Maybe something blooming pink? My part of the room is definitely gonna be pink. I'm thinking of putting a cuter skull with a bow somewhere to tie things together...? So if there's a color transition, maybe we're getting somewhere.

But that doesn't help with your center. Hmm, what do you like most? Something to eat, an animal, something about a hobby?

[aurevoirx2]

Well... Art is my hobby, but I don't think I want to be too meta about it... [ He likes pieces that you'd sit in front of and make you think, but that's not exactly appropriate for a bed room. ] I guess, I could do something like a rendition of an artist's work but in my style, but is that too derivative?

[jarcrash]

Derivative is relative, isn't it? You'd be making it yours by portraying what the art meant to you. The things you love should belong to you that way.

[aurevoirx2]

Oh... That's actually a really good idea. [ He's kind of surprised, coming from her? But okay, but which of the pieces he likes should he adapt.... more to think about... Hmmmm. ]

[jarcrash]

Of course it is, it's from me!

[ Ruining any positive impression instantly. ]

What artwork would you choose?

[aurevoirx2]

Hmm, maybe something like Van Gogh's Wheatfield with Crows? But I'll think about it some more. It's too close to what's here. [ And he likes having more of a subject to bathe in contrast. ]

[jarcrash]

That's the one leaning on blue and yellow contrast, isn't it?

[ ... their color scheme is going to be in shambles. ]

[aurevoirx2]

Only thinking about it. Maybe I'll gather some inspiration...
