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!

Thankfully they don't have to steal any flowers, as much as Kaede would like for her garden to look as nice as the others, as she reaches into her pocket and pulls out a handful of tulip starters in the same colors she's already planted. ]
I was thinking about putting these in a different order than the other two rows... Maybe yellow, white, red?
[ The first row she planted has tulips alternating in white, yellow, red while the second has them alternating red, yellow, shite. ]
no subject
A different order... Why not just plant them at random, sorta like how a field of wildflowers would look?
[ Patters are so much work, Kaede..... It'd look just as nice if they took a handful and threw them into the air and let the wind decide what lands where, he's sure of it. ]
no subject
You think that would look good? It would probably look more natural that way...
no subject
[ No "I think"s, like he'd usually throw in. ]
The world is beautiful, isn't it? Randomness, chaos... those sorts of things are beautiful.
no subject
It is. Planting them randomly will remind me of that.
[ She smiles at him before dumping all of the starters in her arms onto the ground, toppling into a mixed up pile. Closing her eyes, Kaede bends down and picks a random one up. ]
Looks like the first one is red! Now it's your turn to pick.
no subject
Red.
no subject
Alright! Let's get started.
[ Kaede starts to move towards the empty row, but she pauses for a second before picking up the rest of the starters. It'll be easier to just have them right there...
She takes a shovel out of her pocket and digs two small holes, planting the red one she picked out in one of them. ]
I'm glad it's so easy to plant flowers here.
no subject
[ Which isn't altogether a bad thing, but it's still hard to get used to things like this even after being here for so long. He sets the other red flower down into the hole, and pushes the dirt back over it, careful not to pat the soil down too much and risk smothering the roots. ]
It rains a lot, so it's okay even if we forget to water them. It's warm and sunny otherwise, and... [ ... ] Do you like bees?
no subject
She pauses, seriously considering that question. ]
I think they're kinda cute, but I really don't want to be stung by one. I guess they'll be attracted to all the flowers, huh?
[ That's not bad, she'll just have to be careful. ]
no subject
[ Bees will have a better time flitting around flowers and rolling in pollen than divebombing either of them, he'd like to think, as he just goes ahead and pulls an entire beehive out of his pocket and sets it on the ground next to the incomplete flowerbed.
Bzzzzzzzz, your several thousand new neighbors say hello. ]
no subject
[ She never really thought about it that way, honestly. They're just trying to live too, and maybe having some flowers for them will be nice!
Only... Kaede isn't expecting to see them all at once, so she jumps back in shock when Minato pulls out a beehive. ]
Whoa! Since when have you had that?!
[ They get all kinds of things in the mail here, so it really shouldn't come as such a shock. But that really is a lot of bees. ]
