Day Thirty-Four: Back to Work
The weather on the island continues to be cooler than it's been for the past few days, and during the night, a chilly breeze and a gentle downpour carry away the last of the pollen that had remained. Day thirty-four dawns with intermittently cloudy skies and sunshine. It seems to be an appropriate time for everyone to get back to work on their tasks, both assigned and volunteer, as well as to (hopefully) handle any remaining fallout from the rampantly blooming bushes.
Today is also another day when a multitude of items can be found all over the island and the surrounding area. It seems that the island takes away, and it also gives back!
What we have below is a lottery system. You pick a number from the list for any of your characters you'd like to have find something on the current day, post with the number in the comments, and I'll put your name in that spot on the list. Only then will I reveal what it is that you have found! Each number is associated with an object to be found ahead of time, so it'll be all random.
You guys are welcome to band together and have two characters find two things in the same scene.
Your finding post must be written this week. If you do not fill your placeholder for your finding, you lose the object. I would appreciate it if you do your finding scene before you mention the object in future scenes. Thanks guys. Here's the list!
Also! The first three people to post their numbers are to also post a number for one of my characters and one of K's characters... so we can't cheat! (i.e., Ari posts first and chooses numbers 3 and 8 for her characters, number 2 for one of my characters and number 11 for one of K's characters. Mo posts second and chooses numbers 1 and 4 for her characters, number 9 for one of my characters and number 14 for one of K's characters.)
