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!

Badly, actually, are they common around here? And d'you usually have dreams along with 'em?

I'm more concerned about all the bits and pieces we found the next morning. Is that usual?

Badly? How so? Meteor showers are typically a pleasant -- wait, were you hurt?!

[ Let's get that out of the way first! ]

Bits and pieces?

[ He tilts his head. Looks like you've got your answer, Lio. ]

Wh--no?

[look she might have dps HP but she's survived worse than a theoretical shooting star at this point]

They ain't all that great an omen where I'm from, s'all.

[Somehow, he is not surprised.]

On the beach and everything. I think someone tried to eat one.

[ Oh. At this, he lets out a sigh of relief. ]

I see... I'm sorry to hear that, Scintilla. Erm, here, a meteor shower isn't a bad omen -- rather, a good one for things to come.

[ He's doing his best to reassure her!! ]

As for the dream, what sort of dream were you experiencing?

Would you happen to have one of those on you right now?

It was...weird. And I've had some weird dreams, but not like this one. I saw somewhere back home, but the whole city was...stagnant. Frozen.

[Stagnant, she realized, was a poor choice of word; Amaurot was already stagnant, that wasn't the problem.]

Saw a shooting star across the sky, and I went n' woke up before anythin' else could happen. Don't know anythin' about that by chance, do ya?

Not on me, but I picked up a piece or two. They're on the shelf in my house, if you don't mind waiting.

Laurent will donate a barbell. It's made of... a thick tree branch with hardened clay at each end. He doesn't have a DIY for it, but it's the best he can make.

The meteor shower was nice, though I was surprised it lasted until hours past midnight. I heard most of them only run a few hours at best.

But we did find these particular... rocks.

[ He holds out a star fragment from his pocket. ]

Someone thought it was rock candy. They were at the beach the next day. By any chance, do meteor showers drop these? They weren't there before. I can't think of a reason why someone would be walking along the beach and dropping these themselves.

Good morning, Tom Nook.

[ Curiously, his tail sways side to side. ] Do dreams often happen after a meteor shower? Oddly enough, my companion and I dreamt of home from before our arrival here and I can't say I've had a particular dream like that before so it really stood out.

...I, well... Actually, I do. That's because I had a dream myself -- not one like yours. It was something a little happier than that...yes....

Not at all. Lead the way. I'd like to get a good look at this.

Ah-! These are...

[ He takes a good look at them, moving from one side to the other to inspect them. ]

I've never seen something quite like these before. Do you know how many there were?
