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

[ Or if they drowned at sea, yeah. Despite Tom Nook's assurances otherwise, Minato can't completely believe that without trawling the sea floor himself. ]

I guess it's just one of those nights... Tom Nook said that too. That nights with meteor showers, it feels like anything could happen. I was sorta hoping that meant tonight's the night we all go home, but...

[ He shrugs. Best case scenario, a few of their numbers got carried off by the stars, but there's still so many of them left. ]

It's wishful thinking... But I feel like as a group, it isn't quite our time yet, you know? We've done so much for the development of this island, even if us coming here was an accident.

[He's definitely felt torn about it lately. He has stuff to get back to, but he's gotten surprisingly invested in Isla Sonrisa as well.]

Nobody ever thinks it's their time...

[ Though he's not thinking about leaving, but of dying- of those words "I'm too young to die" and how nobody ever entertains the concept of an end.

But even as the words slip out of his mouth, Minato shakes his head. ]


Sorry. Didn't mean to bring down the mood... I guess I don't really believe that we'll leave only when we're good and ready. So many people already left before they wanted to. For me... I've been wanting to, but I'm still here.
