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

Here's this week's Weekly Plotting Post for you all to use!
As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let us know! Have fun!)

Sometimes, I imagined it like a movie that someone is watching somewhere, apart from the Concepts I talked about. But not in a serious way.
[ Hm. Dokja also mentioned something interesting... ]
Are you, by any chance... from a piece of media, Joonghyuk?
no subject
I was the protagonist in the webnovel titled Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World.
no subject
So that's what he meant... he mentioned that you were a protagonist.
[ He didn't think of it literally, but after Joonghyuk mentioned stories in that sense, he couldn't help but wonder. ]
So, were you suggesting that someone revise the story of my world?
no subject
[ He's so glad you're not stupid, Laurent. It's one of your few likable traits. ]
It's possible.
no subject
[ Hm.
He doesn't like that. ]
no subject
[ Some books are set in stone, but some stories are uploaded chapter by chapter. Some stories aren't thought out since the beginning. However, most importantly. ]
Even if your story is set, you can go beyond where the letters end.
no subject
[ A character recognizing his own story and transcending the pages... Laurent is pretty amazed by it, even if his face doesn't exactly show it. ]
no subject
[ He walks the path no other Joonghyuk has and that's really all thanks to one man. ]
I'm Yoo Joonghyuk.
no subject
Right. Yeah... youre Yoo Joonghyuk.
[ He gives him a tired smile. ]
Was there anything else you wanted to ask?
no subject
No. As I said earlier, we can't know what works until I'm there.
[ ... ]
You can share some of your happy memories.
no subject
But Joonghyuk will get one, since he's been a good boy. ]
Let's see... my uncle taught me how to play hwatu when I was young. It was fun playing with him, and it picked up my interests in card games.
[ He looks up at the sky. There's a shooting star. ]
He's my sole family.
no subject
Do you feel anything when you recall that memory?
[ Sorry, Laurent. This will be his last question. Promise. ]
no subject
[ Those words almost come out immediately. ]
You mentioned if there was anything I valued back then.
[ This is it. ]
no subject
[ That's the question, Laurent. You idiot. You fool. ]
no subject
[ Don't be vague back at him?? That's his thing!! ]
no subject
Never forget that feeling.
no subject
[ It just makes suffering 100x worse, but it's fine. ]
It's hard to forget the moment when I felt like I was pulled out of a pit full of misery, and being told that it's okay to live.
no subject
It's easy to forget as the years pass by. In time, you can even forget yourself.
no subject
[ Since Laurent might be the one who might have to live forever, depending on how things go. ]
no subject
[ It's fine. They can be immortal friends together? Not that he has ever told Laurent. ]
no subject
Then I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
[ If there isn't anything else, Laurent will stay a little longer and then leave for Joonghyuk to be alone with his thoughts. ]
