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!))

They've been comfortable sticking you with the demon label for way too long, it's time to shake it up a little!

[ Being called a demon isn't equivalent to being called crazy but it's also not NOT similar. So she wonders if she can maybe relate a little. ]

[sorathvau]

[He shrugs.]

They have every reason to.

[He’s too gloomy to stick it to the man :(]

[jarcrash]

Why?

[ Buddy you're making the most mall goth bedroom she's ever seen, she can't take you seriously. ]

[sorathvau]

[As she is right not to.]

I…

[He chooses his words carefully.]

…am a very wicked God.

[jarcrash]

[ That's a little too careful. Now she's just curious. But more importantly: ]

So what? That's most gods.

[sorathvau]

[Well, he can’t deny that - he’d say there’s definitely exceptions, but the urge to do so just draws a blank.]

Then you should know that my reputation isn’t for nothing.

[jarcrash]

[ She considers this (and realizes she doesn't really have a good grasp on the Beelzebub vs Satan distinction at all) and then shrugs again. ]

Guess so. Guess it also really doesn't have to matter to you what people call you.

[sorathvau]

[Doesn’t it? Beelzebub has been subject to fair few names, none of them particularly generous.]

…It shapes you. Whether you want it to or not.

[jarcrash]

Huh.

People tend to think I'm crazy, so they avoid me a lot, but that doesn't mean anything about me. Or to me. I'm Bibi Reden, perfectly smart and perfectly beautiful, and I'll keep living my life just as I want to.

[ A small pause, pensive. ]

That's what I thought until recently, anyway.

[sorathvau]

[…]

What changed?

[jarcrash]

I realized other people were having a whole lot more fun, which feels unfair and undeserved.

[ Good things should happen to Bibi and to Bibi only. ]

So things are gonna have to change. There are some people who need to remain by my side, even though at large people are really stupid and really boring and I don't really need them.

[sorathvau]

…You might need them more than you realise.

[Is he speaking from experience? Perhaps.]

If you have them, hold onto them.
