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
    Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday

Past experience may suggest otherwise.

[ Smh. ] Tell me what the idea is first then I'll consider it.

Let's hide you in my pocket.

[ Straight up. ]

[ For a moment, Dokja just. Laughs. Because it's funny?? Then it hits him. ]

Oh, you're serious. [ Now he takes a moment to ponder. ] Well, we can fit live fish and insects in our pockets...

[ And it isn't as if Dokja hasn't had experience holding tiny people in his own pockets. ] I suppose it's worth a try?

[ Laurent holds out his hand towards Dokja. ]

Give me your hand. I think it'll work like this.

[ Is he gonna say what "this" is? No. ]

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-27 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ The look shows Dokja's obvious doubt to said words but he takes his hand nonetheless with a sigh.

What's your plan now, Laurent? ]

[personal profile] conceptualize 2020-07-27 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ His grand plan is to...!!

--shove Dokja's hand into his pocket, in hopes that would whisk him away into the pocket dimension.

Unsurprisingly, nothing happens. Laurent lets go of Dokja's hand.
]

Maybe it recognizes residents.

[ That's... kinda creepy. A pocket that can differentiate islanders and other living beings... ]

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-27 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ..I see. Dokja for that moment just stares at the hand in his pocket, but nothing happens and he redraws his hand with a glance back to his friend. ]

Maybe, or it could do with the fact that we technically don't belong to this world.

[ Glances over to the Residential Services.... :um: ]
conceptualize: (pic#14102677)

[personal profile] conceptualize 2020-07-27 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Laurent follows the glance and... hm. They might get in a load of trouble if it actually goes through, but Laurent is also pretty interested in pocket mechanics too. ]

Wanna go for it? Joonghyuk probably won't come back for a long time.

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-28 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ For a moment, he was considering maybe it being possible to stuff Snake into their pockets since he's from this world, but maybe it's better to aim for the tent. ..With hopefully nobody inside? ]

Well, you've got me curious so. [ May as well scratch that itch. ]
conceptualize: (pic#14102709)

[personal profile] conceptualize 2020-07-28 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ Stuffing someone living inside a pocket sounds very... traumatizing. But apparently, Laurent doesn't care for the fish and things.

Laurent leads the way to the Resident Services tent, but then he thinks...
]

What if we try to get it in our pockets at the same time?
afterword: (Default)

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-28 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
If it works, wouldn't it just tear the tent in half?

[ Based on logic here with pocket wonders. ]

[personal profile] conceptualize 2020-07-28 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe the space-time continuum would implode on itself due to the mechanics conflicting with each other.

[ Maybe he's not serious, but seeing as to how Laurent looks like he's willing to go with it anyway... well... ]

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-28 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
This would be a very fragile world-line were that the case.

[ So, he has faith- something that is capable of blocking out their powers will be able to withstand something like this. See he's already putting what he can grab of the tent into his pocket-- ]
conceptualize: (pic#14102696)

[personal profile] conceptualize 2020-07-28 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Laurent does the same and--huh. Nothing happens. They're just normally tugging at the tent with no other pull force from their pockets.

Laurent lets go.
]

Dokja, it's not working on my end.
afterword: (Default)

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-28 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Dokja also lets go with the same exact results. ]

It's the same for me. Guess it doesn't work that way after all. So far it only works on items, live fish and insects. ..Guess by now we would've noticed someone trying to move their house via pockets were it possible. [ Especially with the kind of people they have living here. Prove him wrong. ]
conceptualize: (pic#14160564)

[personal profile] conceptualize 2020-07-28 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ He'd like to offer a counter suggestion-- ]

I wonder if most people here could actually think of something like that.

[ Just casually offends the entire island with a single sentence. ]
afterword: (pic#14153539)

[personal profile] afterword 2020-07-28 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ ]

Fair enough. [ Dokja you shouldn't laugh at that. ] Well, I'm out of ideas for now. Thanks again for saving me.
conceptualize: (pic#14101288)

[personal profile] conceptualize 2020-07-28 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the least I can do.

[ Laurent digs out the apple he cut earlier and fried squid and puts them in Dokja's hand. ]

For when you get hungry. I'll see you later.

[ byeeee ]
