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!))
general store
[ Honestly, he has half a mind to step in and fix it for her. ]
How did this even happen?
no subject
[Welp, no point in hiding it when she's asked so point blank how this even happened]
I'm just trying to fix it a little before the sheriff and the alderman notice. Everything is already so wrong, and I don't want to make it all worse for anyone.
no subject
[ Yeah, nevermind, he'll be stepping in for her. Kurapika gets a closer look at the hole, humming thoughtfully. ]
We could grab more planks, or a larger piece of wood, and line it up so it covers the hole completely. I think attempting to fix it could help you get out of punishment.
no subject
[She pats the planks she crossed over the hole]
Hey, give me a moment, I'll get these off.
[And she begins to try to get the nails out. Sometimes the best first step to fix a problem the right way is remove the wrong moves you have made!]
no subject
[ Just a few nails in a few planks of wood. It can't be that difficult to fix.
He takes a step back, watching as she gets the nails out, ready to jump back in if he needs to. ]
no subject
When did she become this strong...?]
It's done! We're ready, Kurapika.
no subject
But he steps forward anyway to get to work on patching up the wall. Diligently, he begins to hammer the planks to the wall, stacking them neatly on each other. ]
You looked confused when you caught the board. You didn't get a splinter, did you?
no subject
[The strength of an angel, but nerfed]
I just didn't expect it.
no subject
So you’re stronger than you thought. I hope you’re proud of it. It’s an exciting realization, isn’t it?
no subject
[Thanks, memoryloss, confusing Colette to no end]
Did you change in any way? When you woke up in this town, did you notice anything different about yourself?
no subject
[ He picks up another nail, putting it into position before hammering at it until it's solidly settled in the wood. ]
I don't have my abilities. That's the biggest thing I've noticed. It's strange, not having something I've grown used to.
[ ... ]
Other than that, almost everything else lines up.
[ Physically, at least. ]
no subject
[She looks at her own hands, wondering. Could someone else's strength have been transferred to her? If someone in this town lost it, could she have gotten it? It's...not impossible, probably]
no subject
Yes, magic. Though in my world we call it "Nen". I haven't been able to do even the most basic Nen exercises since arriving here.
