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 nods and tries kneels down, carefully putting the seeds in and with both hands pats the soil around in, making a small mound. ] Hmm... is it too much soil on top?
no subject
Did you get it? Maybe I'm not explaining things too well -- I lived all my life in a little village, so this sort of thing feels so natural to me.
[Therefore she never had to truly explain to anyone before any of this]
no subject
[ He goes to try to show her by doing the next one! ... But he has his other hand on the ground and when he strikes down to dig, he goes a little too hard and a little too close and grazes his finger on the other hand. ] ..... Ah.
no subject
[Immediately saying that, yeah]
Like the...phones? [Says it like she's not sure about the pronunciation] It's the same principle. All you have to do is do it as many times as you can and before you know it, you'll be planting like an expert.
[...well, perhaps not, since...]
You don't do things like these at home often, do you?
[Sora's stay here may be the only time he'll plant anything. These skills will be short-lived]
no subject
Not at all. We get our produce from the store, which other people planted and prepared. Well, it's probably more complex than that, but that's the jist of it.
But since we're here, it's good to know... You can't entirely forget skills your acquire. [ Right?
Meanwhile, his finger started bleeding though, and he blinks at it. Red as an apple. ]
