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!))

[Walter is a bit surprised to see Kurapika use the sword so confidently, but he's not about to complain when the slime is pretty clearly hurt.]

Clearly. It looks like some kind of land jellyfish--how could it possibly have mutated into that?

[revengier]

It was probably born that way. I wouldn't be surprised if these slimes were native to the mines themselves.

[ And just as it tries to ram its jelly-like form against Walter again, Kurapika slices through it with his sword. Hopefully this puts it down for the count this time. ]

[theotherww]

[The slime is a sad jelly pile at this point, which Walter observes with interest.]

So this is some sort of isolated ecosystem with its own line of evolution. Just what could be in these mines that makes this viable? [He'll have to find something to put this slime in later, he's undeniably curious about this.]

[revengier]

Slimes that gave birth to this one, probably.

[ He sheathes his sword back at his hip. It's definitely not what Walter was really thinking along the lines of, but still. ]

There aren't really creatures like that where I'm from either, but I also haven't ventured into mines to see them.

[theotherww]

Obviously. But what about these mines makes being some...gelatinous creature the way to survive?

They definitely aren't in mines where I'm from. Snottites, yes, but sentient slimes? No.

[revengier]

I wouldn't be surprised if they can survive on the nutrients in the various ores and rock around here. Perhaps by being a slime, they can process it more easily.

[ Maybe? ]
