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.
Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday

I'm not good, actually.
[Alexis shuffles inside, looking... conflicted would probably be the best word. For a few moments, she's silent. Then:]
I remembered.
All of it.
no subject
[Sonico runs to the washroom and back, now with nothing on her hands, and hugs Alexis.]
Is it bad?
no subject
[Alexis sighs, clinging tight to Sonico.]
I had a life, Sonico. I wasn't always just some- cultist.
But that Alexis, she feels like... a completely different person.
Like whoever I am replaced her.
no subject
That's not too bad though, sure, you were different, but that doesn't mean you're a bad person now.
no subject
She just can't anymore.]
But I am!
I was such a jerk to all of my friends who were just trying to help me break out of that stupid Sartorius's mind control and even now I can't say that I regret it!
I just...
I...
no subject
[She's petting Alexis' head, right between the cat ears.]
no subject
The worst part...
The worst part is that I remember thinking I had some sort of... feelings for this and I'm so angry at myself for ever thinking that because it's so wrong, so obviously a lie I told myself I was normal even though the guy was just the WORST! It wasn't anything like... like when I'm-
[Alexis trails off, looking away.]
no subject
[Sonico smiles.]
Don't beat yourself over this ok?
no subject
He was barely a friend, honestly. I didn't even know what love was like until I...
Until I...
[Alexis takes a deep, shuddering breath. Here it comes. Her big moment. God help her.]
Until I met you, okay?!
no subject
[That's a shock! Sonico watches Alexis, her face red.]
no subject
Who do you think posted that note on the board a while back?
[Alexis is likewise blushing furiously red. But that isn't going to stop her.]
I just-
Despite how absolutely terrible to everyone I was you tried to be my friend and refused to take no for an answer and you're so sweet and kind and silly and fun and beautiful and-
How could I not fall in love with you? [she says softly, looking away.]
no subject
[Wiat does that mean-]
You w-want to k-k-k-k-kiss me?
no subject
So... do you want to...
no subject
[MAYBE?!]
no subject
[Alexis, cheeks flushing red, brings her face closer to Sonico's.
There's no need for more words.]
no subject
And just like that, she's kissing Alexis.]
no subject
...she's surprisingly gentle. Alexis's lips are soft, tender even, as she leans into Sonico, straddling the line between hesitant and hungry. But most importantly, there's desperation.
Alexis wants to be loved, held, by someone, anyone. It's something she's dreamt of but never achieved for a long, long time. And here she is now, opening her lips against Sonico's.]
no subject
no subject
Only to break away.]
A- are you okay? Was that too much?
[She's still red as a beet.]
no subject
That was intense!
no subject
Did. Did you like it?
[Because Alexis certainly did.]
no subject
[Sonico is blushing so much she feels she's going to pass out.]
SORRY FOR LATENESS anyways want to wrap here?
Then, um.
Can we... do it again?
sure!
