Week 4


WEEK 4 LOG
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.



    Turn-Ins

Are they friendly? I know they're known for being elegant, but...

[ Maybe it's different for Serval? ]
sugooooooooi: Excited, victorious. (mcdonald's mcdonald's mcdonald's)

Maybe! They look friendly, but I don't know any. But the other people I met there were fun!

Were they flamingos?

[ ... ]

Or geese?
sugooooooooi: Excited and about to ruin something. (joy ride)

There were all kinds of Friends gathered there! But the people we got to talk to were Margay, who's another kind of wildcat like me, and the members of PPP. They're all different types of penguins, and they formed this thing called an idol unit! It's really popular.

[ Laurent recalls that margays were something like an endangered species back in his world, but it sounds like they live well in Serval's. He's glad. ]

So... penguin idols? Do they waddle?

[ ??? ]
sugooooooooi: The gentle smile that became a meme. (no thoughts head empty)

Come to think of it, their dance moves do look like waddling! I guess it's natural for them.

[ Laurent imagines waddling penguin idols, and just... bursts into laughter. He's not sure the last time he laughed this hard. ]

They're a real natural. I wish I could see them perform.
