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.

THURSDAY

[vellamods]

[ Sylvando will wake up to some goodies in House 10! There are three packets of vegetable seeds, fruits, bamboo shoots, and 15,000 bells. That's enough to pay off one bridge!

Talk about contributing to a prosperous island! ]

NETWORK THREADS

[vellamods]

[transfusionem]

Say... How many of you want to go back home? Do any of you want to stay, if you could?

[She asks for no reason At All.]

[turntoashes]

I was in the middle of something back home. I *need* to go back.

[afterword]

I'm on the train of 'needing to go back because of reasons.'

What about you? Do you wanna stay?

[spiritoso]

I would like to stay if I can. What about you?

[southclaw]

[oh hey this a Very Important Topic for Kevin, it's too bad he's not that great at articulating himself in text yet.]

stay

[rupturingheaven]

I have to go back. I can't just leave my students behind.

[freckledarcher]

As much I love this place I have to go back. I can't leave my friends like that. I would like to come back though, it's such a nice place. Do you want to go back home?

[lightsmith]

i have to go back

everyone's going to be real annoyed i went missing

[whereswalder]

I need to go back home, personally! I've got a lot of friends waiting on me, with one very important one in particular.

But I don't want to leave this place behind completely... it'd be nice to come back.

[pr159]

[ god why do we keep asking this question, stop making him think about this ]

Not sure.

PSA

[toushiro]

IMPORTANT:

YOU MAY HAVE SEEN AND/OR PICKED UP THE STAR-LIKE PIECES FROM THE BEACH ON TUESDAY. THIS IS NOT CANDY.

YOU MAY NOT EAT IT. OR "VORE" IT, IF THAT'S THE TERM YOU'D PREFER TO USE.

[turntoashes]

what the fuck is vore?

[conceptualize]

That's not a trendy word I'd prefer to use when getting into them, but it's a good start!

[afterword]

[ what ]

Are there actually people going around trying to eat them?

not here;

[transfusionem]

[She knows this is her fault, and she knows it's funnier to let Hitsugaya go on not knowing what vore is. Things are better this way. Ignorance is bliss and all that.

So she just snickers at the PSA and moves on, but keeps an eye on what everyone says.]

[jokersonyou]

I don't think...you can vore an inanimate object? I think. I could be wrong, though. Not my scene.

[sugooooooooi]

[This morning, you can find Serval carrying a crudely-made sign over east of the residential district! Should you follow her, you'll find an area set up with a swimming pool in the centre, potted plants at the side, and a screened-off changing area. Serval pounds the sign into the ground (okay, she just punches the sign into the dirt, with apparently no ill effects... who needs hammers?), and you can now see that she's clawed some letters into it.]

POL

[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.]

house 9

[pr159]

[ Why didn't you do this before you made that sign... ]

You're lucky the written language here uses such simple characters.

public pol

[regression]

[ He sees the area once it's completely set up, blinking curiously as he wonders who did this...

And finds Serval slamming her fist onto that sign. Wow. Powerful. ]

Pol?

p o l...

[seacub]

Hmmm...

[Emporio has swim trunks on! He's not quite in the pool right now however, instead holding...

Is that a turtle? It looks like a turtle.] I wonder what kind of water is in it...

pol!

[spiritoso]

[ She's a little confused by the sign before it suddenly clicks for her. ]

Oh, you made a pool area! [ She looks at the potted plants and little changing area. ]

It looks really nice!

[thezekeinator]

[Zeke's a little grumpy today. And when Zeke's a little grumpy and doesn't want people to know, well, he's just MORE over-the-top.]

[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.]

[southclaw]

[Kevin knows training when he sees it! ...And he doesn't think to ask first when he charges towards Zeke and parries the shovel with a fist.]
