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!))

Clearly we have very different senses of humor.

[Walter rolls his eyes then looks over the flyer.]

Trying to get us to make ourselves feel more at home, are they?

[sorathvau]

Appears so. Whether it will do much good or not is…doubtful. There’s a lot to distract us from.

[He gives Walter a look.]

I take it you won’t be one for decorating?

[theotherww]

I'm not exactly itching to paint my prison bars a nice color, no.

...what do you think is in this "community stockpile", though?

[sorathvau]

Something worth the trouble.

[…Probably not.]

Weapons?

[Definitely not.]

[theotherww]

Weapons. I hardly see getting a gun as equivalent exchange for making a nice wreath for the doorstep...probably something closer to those fruit arrangements you send to the office on someone's birthday.

[sorathvau]

[Your experiences are not universal, Walt.]

Hard to imagine we’d receive fresh fruit, when that’s what we’re working for.

[This defeats the purpose of farming!]

…They must be something we can’t get through other means.

[theotherww]

Obviously not literally a fruit arrangement, just--a similar conceit. Some luxury we don't have on hand from the general store or in that supermarket.

Hell, something to make farming more convenient--if I could make a sprinkler system...

[Automation...hm, now he's a bit more interested in figuring this stuff out.]

[sorathvau]

…Thinking of getting your hands dirty?
