Week 5
Weather: All Week - Clear Skies...?
- A New Week
Another Monday is here, and that means another round of weekly announcements. You haven’t had any strange dreams since that odd one on Friday evening, but some of you can’t help but feel something…familiar stirring up inside of you. Some kind of energy, some kind of power…
But before you can think too much on it, your train of thought is interrupted by Tom Nook’s voice booming over the speakers again, as per usual.
“Good morning, everyone! Happy fifth week on the island, yes, yes! I have a very special announcement for you today, and that’s that the museum will be open starting on Wednesday! We are currently detailing where to lay out the plot, and you will see another construction area tomorrow. We’ll most likely have it near Able Sisters for ease of convenience. I’m very pleased with our two new establishments!”
He claps delightedly to himself. Tom Nook seems very pleased with how the island is coming along so far!
“Next, please give a warm welcome to our new neighbor, Raymond! Raymond is working as the Able Sisters’ accountant, though he is a little confused about the number of clocks in his house… Ah, but I digress. I’m very happy that we’ve filled up all three of our villager plots!”
Snake, Audie, and Raymond...what an interesting trio. One who enjoys working on his muscles, one who loves fashion, and one who crunches numbers.
“And finally,” Tom Nook continues, “while I don’t have much for you all this week, I am curious about something. I’d like to know how the Meteor Shower went for all of you! It was your first one, no? I hope your wishes will come true!”
Little does he know...some of them already have. Perhaps they will continue to, too, throughout the week.
--
After the morning announcements, you may notice that there has been a new posting on the bulletin board. Upon closer inspection, the new posting is from no one other than Snake himself!
His posting is as follows:
- Hey hey! I’m CRAZY excited about living here on Isle Sonrisa, where the biggest attractions are my biceps! I wanna build up my muscles even more, so can you help me with something?
I want as many barbells as I can get! Yep, no limit, just give me everything you’ve got! You know where to find me, and I’ll give anyone who gives me a barbell a special surprise! Thanks!
P.S. If anyone wants to arm wrestle sometime, give me a ring! I’ll be right there in a jiffy!
Possible Objectives
1. Fulfill Snake's odd request
2. More to come...
OOC: Tom Nook will be available for NPCing. In fact, we encourage interactions with him on Monday specifically! Your interactions may unlock more objectives, so stay tuned!
We also will be discontinuing weekly plotting posts. Thank you!

...talk about coincidences...
no subject
[ Of course, he didn't intend to read it all. He was looking to see if there was any name tied to it and if it's someone on this island. The other items are stowed into his pocket. ]
The ending is unexpected.
no subject
But instead, it's a storybook, rough draft at that, written in red ink and a very shaky hand. ]
"Happily ever after" is a pretty standard ending...
[ He flips to the end and sees that that's indeed how the story ends, no epilogue. No time to write one, no point. ]
It's how he thought to end it. What he wanted to say about the meaning of life. I'd forgotten all about it...
no subject
[ "Happily ever after" is an ordinary yet fabled happiness Joonghyuk has always wished for. To see it on paper is almost like a mockery, though he finds his chest swelling with warmth. He's a bit contemplative. ]
It's a good story. [ ... ] There was someone important in his life that helped him.
[ It's what he can see in the way the unstable red ink crosses the pages. ]
no subject
The bird, right? [ Him... alligator... ] That's one of the morals, yeah. How the outcasts of society- the feared, the hated, the unwanted- they can be good people. Weirdos are the most interesting.
no subject
It's an important lesson to teach. [ Not that he ever needed to care what other people thought of him. Joonghyuk used to take things by force. ] Are you also a "weirdo?"
no subject
That's your opinion, isn't it? Do you think I'm a weirdo?
no subject
[ But he guesses with how Minato responded to him, he doesn't think he's a weirdo. ]
I don't.
no subject
[ He looks... slightly disappointed, for some reason. ]
I guess that's okay. Getting to know everybody else here, I'm one of the more normal ones, anyways, coming from a normal world.
no subject
It almost sounds like you wanted to be seen as a weirdo.
no subject
[ Does he sound convincing? No. ]
It's just that... I guess... I'm kinda afraid of being forgotten. When I'm dead and gone.
[ For better or for worse, you don't forget the weird ones. ]
no subject
We are remembered for our actions, weird or not. [ He can't just say that Minato must have left his mark on his world. Not his place to say since he doesn't know. ] I won't forget when you stole the seaplane.
[ Yes. Stole. ]
no subject
[ Yes, stole, but not permanently!! It's not even the most criminal thing he's done in this place, and even then, Orville and Wilbur never faulted him for it. ]
You're still "the jail guy" to a lot of people here. You won't ever be forgotten.
no subject
[ Good thing it was returned, though. Then they wouldn't be able to go on some mystery island trips. ]
... I don't need to be remembered, especially for that.
no subject
[ You have three whole things going for you, Joonghyuk. You'll be imprinted in the minds of many for sure. ]
no subject
This isn't about me. [ He isn't the one with the fear! ] This is about you.
no subject
I don't want to talk about me.
no subject
[ He'll watch. ]
no subject
no subject
A happy ending. ]
