Week 5


WEEK 5 LOG
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!



    Turn-Ins

[You don't get to tell her what to do.]

You don't know that's what's going to happen.

I said no, kid. I got plenty of people throwin' themselves around in front of lances and calamities and whatever else for my sake.

[...

Okay, but, consider this: you can't tell her what to do.]


That should be my choice, shouldn't it? Who and how I want to help?
lightsmith: (try to imitate the way you speak)

[personal profile] lightsmith 2020-07-31 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
And it's still my choice who I bring with me.

[She's right, but.]

...You shouldn't just have to deal with something unfair on your own because you're afraid of other people being hurt for you.
lightsmith: (try to imitate the way you speak)

[personal profile] lightsmith 2020-07-31 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
That's just how it is. S'always gonna be me in the end anyway.

That's bullshit. You should have to be alone just because that's what the world wants for you.

You don't get it, alright? I'm not alone. But it's me that everythin's ridin' on. Me that has to keep goin' no matter how many people die to keep me alive. No matter how many people already have. And near every night I'm kept awake worryin' about who's gonna be next.

[Alisaie's words rung loud in her head then--when it hurts so much your heart feels fit to burst, let it burst. Let it burst, and fill up again with your love for them. And never, ever forget.]

[How could she forget? How could she when she could never let it burst to begin with? The Warrior couldn't break down even on the last shreds of her very existence. Facing the impossible with cracks covering her very soul, she could only continue to fight.]

[If you had the strength to take another step-]


There's only ever been one person that knew what this was like. Fightin' constantly, strugglin' to save the world and knowin' how hard it was just to pick up and keep goin'. Somebody who never saw me like some kinda savior or weapon.

...An' he's gone now. He's somewhere I can never see or talk to him again, because I needed his help. Because for me to live, he had to stop existin'. Now there's some bastard out there pilotin' his body and I ain't sure if we got the strength to kill him.

[There's a few things Adelaide's learned since showing up on Isla Sonrisa, and one of those things has been that there are some people here from worlds very much unlike her own. Her world seems so... Simple, mundane, compared to what other people go through.

And it's just not fair, she thinks, that there are people here who are from worlds that are placing incredible burdens on their shoulders. It's not fair they have to fight and struggle and suffer when she's able to live a life where the most painful thing that happens is what she does to herself.

Saying it's not fair won't change anything, though. Everyone knows that life isn't fair, and being here hasn't changed that as much as she would hope it could.

She doesn't know what to do, but she wants to help.]


You could let us help you share that burden. Like... Maybe we don't know fuck all about your world and your friends and maybe we can't help, but... If we want to, shouldn't we be allowed to try? You deserve to let someone help ease what's expected of you.
