Week 4
Weather: Monday AM & PM - Clear Skies; Tuesday - Thursday AM Cloudy, PM Rainy; Friday - Clear Skies
- The Meteor Shower
On Monday, there are, in your mailboxes, passports for those who happened to not pick them up when the airport opened. Hold onto these--they’re important, after all! Open them up, and you’ll find not only a title, your name, and your hometown, but you’ll also find…
A blank page? That’s right. There’s a page in the back of the admittedly small passport with only one thing on it: a space that looks like it has room for a star stamp. Huh. That’s strange, isn’t it? There are no hints as to what it could be about, but maybe the announcement will shed some light.
There’s also, like last week, a familiar face around the island… it’s Audie! Come around to her house to say hi--she’s very excited to be here, and very fashionably dressed as she strolls around the island.
And like clockwork, at nine AM, Tom Nook makes his announcement once more:
“Good morning, Isla Sonrisa! A few things this morning. Please give a warm welcome to our new neighbor, Audie!”
Audie smiles and waves at you all with both paws--she’s pretty flattered at the warm response. Tom Nook continues--
“We have for you the ability to build bridges now! Yes, yes, these will prove very useful indeed. Of course, you will most likely have to work together to figure out the best places to put these bridges, as we have only a limited number… But I am sure working together will be little trouble for you all! The only thing to note is that each bridge will come with a construction fee of 15,000 bells each. Consider working together to get some bridges up and running...?”
He pauses, and the next part comes with some measure of almost… not quite dismay, but there’s a certain cloud over the tanuki: “It also seems Iori and Mira have also left the island… Again, we’re looking into it, and should any discoveries come to light, I will tell you immediately.”
He nods to himself, and continues on--
“Next, I’d like to tell you all we have a very special event tonight… a meteor shower! Yes, yes, starting at 7 PM, we will have clear skies and many stars to wish upon. Who knows--maybe your wishes will all come true!” He says that with a bright smile, almost like he really believes it… Or maybe that’s just his quiet optimism? Anyway, he continues--
“Finally, I’d like to thank you all for your hard work in making items for our new friends! Yes, yes, you all have been working so hard to create furniture and items for our housing plots, but this week, I invite you all to put your best DIY skills to the test! There are no specific style requirements in mind, but please make sure our potential new friend has:
1 Table
2 Dressers
1 Clock
2 Chairs
Of course, if you’d like to make more, I am sure our friend will not be opposed…” He pauses, and seems to remember something! “Ah, yes, we are very close to opening our museum… I am sure Blathers would appreciate any bugs, fish, or fossils regardless! Hmm… Yes, that is all I have for you! Thank you once more for your hard work, and have a wonderful day!”
Possible Objectives
1. Help Tom Nook prepare a housing plot for the last villager house.
2. Donate more specimens to Blathers.
3. Attend the meteor shower, if you so desire. There may be some secrets waiting for you...
4. Make a money pool for some bridges.

In the evening, before the meteor shower starts, he stops his practice and remains up there on the roof, leaving a ladder propped up against the side of the building for anybody to climb up if they so wish, there's plenty of room up here for a small shooting star viewing party. A tarp (that may or may not have been at tent once upon a time) has been laid out on the rooftop instead of a blanket, but there's not much in the way of snacks or other comforts besides several little bottles of energy drinks and Minato with a photo album in his lap, flipping through pages with Mira's face smiling back at him, Minato frowning in return.
He doesn't have to think too hard about what to wish for, there's so much.
But all of it remains unsaid, and he's quiet for the most part, not expecting anybody else to be up here besides Kaede who he'd asked to join him for a while— and he'll be out here late into the night, from dusk until dawn, putting the album away once the sun goes down and exchanging it with a large lump of clay that he pinches smaller pieces out to make little clay ...things... whatever it takes to pass the time, until the half dozen energy drinks run its course and his heart stops feeling like it's about to explode. ]

[Scintilla went about her day a little uneasily; she was tense following the announcement, though she focused herself more on fishing than anything else. When it wasn't a forge, the brick oven served its intended purpose--she only overcooked a few of them, even.]
[But when night rolled around and the first few stars streaked across the sky, she looked unreasonably stressed out, tail bristling as she quickly retreated back to the house and closed the blinds.]
[It's fine.]
[She's fine.]
Well at least there's no actual meteor in the sky

[ Stars always make you feel small in the grand scheme of things.
It's evening, and Laurent can be seen sitting on the garden bench in various places, whether it's by the beach, by your house, by the river... Anywhere, but his own house. He's been moving around a lot with that garden bench. He's always looking up at the sky all the time and wonders if he should invest in a salonpas for his neck if that even exists on this island.
When you pass by or decide to sit on the bench next to him, he'll quietly ask with a small smile: ]
Would it be too egotistical to think they shine for us?
II
[ It's past midnight. It might as well be 1-4AM. Laurent has been listlessly walking around the island with a gas lantern all this time. He is not up to his usual shenanigans, but he might have walked around the same place at least twice by now. Maybe he just doesn't want to go home. Maybe he's just out for a late night stroll. Who knows? He seems to be having good luck, considering no scorpions attacked him in the dead of night. He can either be seen at the beach, tossing something into the ocean or around the island as usual. ]

When night finally hits, he's for once found outside which is unusual. He's the type to retire when it hits a certain time, valuing sleep and rest very much. However, he can be found on the highest level of the island through the use of pole vaults and ladders. He's watching the stars rather intently, thinking back on everything he has heard about stars and wishes.
He never wished upon them at home... The stars are a bad omen that haunted his world. However, he decides to give it a try on the meteors. Maybe the Animal Crossing gods are kind. ]

...but he doesn't make that many bells from those sales. Next, he hits the beach looking for shells to pick up and sell... and hey, maybe he'll find a bottle? Who knows! Not him.
But after that, his money-making skills are spent, especially since he doesn't want to catch bugs and fish to sell. To donate to Blathers, yes, but to sell? That's a slippery slope, in his view! So he's standing outside the grocery store deep in thought...]
Hm... if only I had some art supplies... but I've never actually sold any of those...
[hm!!
Well, anyway, that is most of the day taken care of! So he'll see if he can try and get up on the roof of House 11 when the sun sets to get a good view of the meteor shower! IT'S COOL, RANGERS CLIMB THINGS ALL THE TIME. HE PROBABLY DOESN'T NEED HELP GETTING DOWN.]

TUESDAY
Furthermore, Serval will find a mysterious package at her porch labelled: FOR MINATO ARISATO. Should either of them open the package, they'll find...

But she'll be back at house 9 later on, opening all of her mail. No pool this time, I promise. You'll find her trying on the tiara, setting up the hammock on the porch, pawing the potted plants and looking like she's contemplating chewing on them... well, she is a cat. But the biggest attraction is when she opens that panda plush. It's taller than she is. It's blocking the road.
Later, she'll be on the beach, batting around a star fragment like she's trying to decide if it's a toy. Mira's Worn Journal is at her side, and if she spots you, she'll wave you over.]

He thinks it's a little funny that he's put himself to work like he did before when he could just take his time kicking back in this world, but it's actually pretty nice. A bit of normalcy in a mysterious place.
Later in the day, he takes a walk down the beach. There are objects on the grounds that look like stars, almost like giant origami. Strange. He picks one up, curiously. Well, maybe he'll just hang onto it.
By nighttime, Ren finds himself at the peninsula to the east of the island jutting out into the water. He sits near the edge, thoughtfully staring out at the water, a habit he's picked up. This time, however, his eyes aren't always on the waves. He glances down every so often, to where he's holding a leather glove, his expressive pensive.]

He's likely to be busy staring at his mail for some time but feel free to say hello! ]
[ Later on the day, whether you're going about your business gathering, or maybe just see a strange sight in the distance... but you can find Dokja tied up to a tree. With what? Looks like someone somehow managed to fashion rope out of bamboo to make this possible.
There's also a menu chalkboard set next to him that says in clear words 'YOU ARE ALLOWED TO FEED HIM, NOTHING MORE'
... ... Dokja looks exhausted, probably from likely flailing and trying to untie himself (it was useless, clearly. By the fact he's still here. ) Help... ]

At their log dining table, Joonghyuk eats quietly and sips his water. Nothing much. No words. He only talks when Dokja asks him questions, so is it really the cold shoulder?
It is. It really is. ]

[Welcome to your public pool.
Aside from finishing the setup for that, you can find Serval in front of house 9, where she's practising letters with a chalkboard and chalk. Better than clawing more signs, at least. Or you can catch her sniffing around the grocery store! Not buying anything, just looking at all of it curiously.]

[If you look like you need help, before you even have a chance to call, a shoebill crashes onto the scene, charging forward and slamming to a stop with such force that his momentum brings him around in a drifting slide. When he finally comes to a halt, it's in a cocky pose, which becomes even cockier as he folds his wings and a glint of light behind his shoulder illuminates him, followed by a lens flare.]
Hey, chum! Looks like you need the help of the Dread Bird of Alrest! Lucky for you, he's on the scene!
[Or maybe you stumble on him standing in a field, a shovel in his hands. But rather than digging with it, he's swinging it around like a madman, or more specifically, like a guy with a really excessive fighting style who wants to keep in shape.]

[Something is wrong with Alexis.
Well, something is always wrong with Alexis. Between her perpetual huffy mood, general rudeness, propensity for violence, with the list going on, most residents of the island would be hard-pressed to find something that isn't wrong with Alexis.
But that's just it.
Today, she's walking across the island in an almost dreamlike state, not glaring at whoever passes her by, and weirdly enough keeping to herself.
Then she bumps into someone.
At this point, it's common sense to prepare oneself for a tirade when Alexis accidentally collides with another resident. But instead, she murmurs,]
Sorry, [flinches as if she didn't expect that to come out of her mouth, shakes her head, and hustles away.
What on Earth is going on with her?]
