For whatever reason, regardless of what you were doing before, you awaken at an airport. There may or may not be two raccoons staring at you. Maybe they're asking you questions. Something about an island? Yeah...yeah that's right. You remember now. You'd been wanting to start a new life on a deserted island. Or maybe you weren't looking to start something new, just get away from it all. Best make the most of it!
Rules:
1) Log in with your character(s) and post their name and canon in the subject line. Put any preferences in your actual post, tell us what your character is up to, or set up the scenario you like. Top levels left blank will be deleted.
2) Select a scenario you like and tag someone.
3) Thread! And have fun, of course.
Prompts:
1) WASPS!: It doesn't matter how powerful you may have been back in your world (if this ISN'T your world), because now all it takes is a swarm of ticked off insects packing stingers and a hankering for using those stingers on your face to send you running. Will you get away? Will your lovely face suffer because of your curiosity? Why are you asking me?
2) Nook's: Nook's Cranny is a pretty cool place to go, isn't it? Got lots of stuff. Furniture, wallpaper, shovels, nets, you name it. Sure you don't need that suit of armor for your house or that chair shaped like a
peach, but c'mon. You owe it to yourself.
3) The Able Sisters': Everybody needs clothes, and it just so happens that you've got a pretty awesome place to buy them! ...sure it's the only place on the island, but who cares about that? In here you can make your own designs and share them across the globe, buy a nice hat, or chat with the sisters about whatever. Or hey, why not offer the girls some help?
4) Like a good neighbor: I've got two words for you: free stuff. You like free stuff, I like free stuff, we all like free stuff. Sometimes chatting with a neighbor gets you free stuff, while other times running an errand or two does it. Even if the errand is walking like two feet to give another neighbor a letter or walking three feet to grab a piece of fruit.
5) Shakin' trees: Wasps aren't the only thing that can fall out of trees, you know. Fruit does too! And so does money and the occasional piece of clothing or furniture. Just try not to get crushed by that new sofa you found.
6) DI-Why: Now that you've been collecting materials from the land, whether stone, various types of wood, fruits, or even bamboo and sakura blossoms, it's time to craft! Hey- you got any Ironwood DIYs, friend?
7) Island Tours: You've racked up the miles and they're paying off! Where have your buds at Dodo Airlines flown you? A friend's island? A tropical paradise full of wild hybrid flowers? Oh shit, is that an island full of tarantulas?!
8) Weekly Visitors: A new day brings the chance to meet a new, potential resident to your campsite, or maybe one of the regular traveling merchants. Commission a bug statue from Flick, purchase shrub starters from Leif, see Kicks about some new shoes or a bag, or even buy mysterious wallpaper or rugs from the enigmatic Saharah. Don't forget to buy turnips on Sunday mornings!
9) Fishing Contest: Some friendly competition never hurt anyone, and what better way to prove it then by running around like a maniac trying to prove how good you are at catching fish?
10) Garage sale: You may not have a garage, but laying your unwanted stuff around the house and hoping someone will buy it works just as well.
11) Home/Museum: Spending time outside is fun, but sometimes it's fun to just kick back in your house with a friend and chill. Or you can hang at the museum. Lots of cool things to look at there. Most of which you donated...
12) Gardening: The island's looking a bit too barren. Some nice trees, flowers, or hedges would brighten it right up!
13) Wildcard: Visit the island to hang out with a friend! Whack people in the face with a net! Pitfall troll! Building up island infrastructure! Dig for fossils! Paying off your loans? Anything that isn't listed above can be done here.
