WEEK 6 LOG ♬
Weather: All Week - Clear Skies

A New Week

This weekend, you had unusual dreams. For some of you, they brought you to an outdoor arena that none of you had ever seen before. For others, you dreamed of a familiar place: a place that felt like home in some way. And when you fall asleep on Sunday night, you’ll find that dreams of your homes are continuing. Your home may be exactly as you remember it, at any point in time before you arrived here; perhaps there will be slight differences, or maybe it seems like a different version of your home altogether. Maybe nobody else is in it except for you.

For each dreamer, however, you’ll find that your dreams will start in your own world; but at some point, there will be a mysterious blue light that appears. It looks like a large portal that will lead you to somewhere. Choose to step inside, and you’ll be taken to a random islander’s dream. Alternatively, if you elect to remain inside of your own dream, you may suddenly see a ray of yellow light that appears, and once the light fades, another one of your fellow islanders will appear before you.

Abilities will work as they did over the weekend in your dreams and in the real world. Everyone will have one of their own, whether it be their existing powers from home or something new entirely. Even the formerly powerless will have something within them -- namely something similar to what the strange boy you saw this weekend could do. Perhaps you now have the ability to launch apples at your opponents at a lightning fast speed. Maybe you can rip a tree out of the ground with your bare hands.

And most importantly...everyone will remember their dreams when they wake. Your memories of seeing your friends’ homes (or seeing them in your home instead) will remain. These dreams seem to happen every night for the rest of the week.

Things do seem to return to relative normalcy on Monday morning. Tom Nook’s announcements begin, though he only has two new things to report.

“Good morning, everyone! I hope you all had a fun weekend, yes? I apologize for not having much for you to do this time around, but hopefully you could all use it as a chance to relax. Now, though, it’s time to get back to work on event planning. I’m hoping to bring K.K. Slider over by August 15th, so if that date does work for all of you to host the event, then that’s when you’ll need to be ready by. Once you’ve all decided on what to do, the other thing I’ll need for you to do is to create flyer designs.

In my tent are some papers and markers, crayons and what have you. It may see a little...childish, for some of you, but I assure you that your creativity will come a long way in capturing the hearts of all sorts of people in this world! Feel free to submit as many designs as you want, and I’ll send them over to Nook Inc. to make copies of all of them. We’ll work with Orville to get them all sent out.”

The next and final announcement follows immediately afterwards.

“And finally, we have an exciting opportunity passed onto me by the Able Sisters! Mabel and Sable are holding a design contest for an Isle Sonrisa pattern to put on some of their clothing! Channel your island spirit into your design and create something that you think best represents the island. You can use the supplies for the flyers to draw out your designs, and submit them to Mabel by Thursday. Everyone will get a participation prize of 5,000 bells, but there will be a grand prize for the person whose design gets selected!”

He claps his hands for a brief moment in excitement.

“That’s all for your announcements! Have a wonderful week, everyone!”

Possible Objectives

1. Participate in the Able Sisters' design contest. (Note: Entries can be drawn OR written out OOCly. We will choose a winner via RNG.)
2. Work towards preparing the island for your event
3. Make those flyers and submit them to Tom Nook (drawn or written OOCly is fine)
4. See what's going on in your dreams...

[So. Dreams are weird and Lio's never much liked his. It's not that he has nightmares or anything, it's just that he tends to wake up desperately needing to burn things and that can be a problem if he's not anywhere that's safe to burn.

This dream's different, though. There's still that familiar, warm faint laughter that sounds closer to fire crackling and burning than anything else in the background of the dream that Lio's used to, but...everything else is different. It's Promepolis at night (minus the smoke and fire), but there's no anti-Burnish propaganda or any signs of a major fight or anything Lio'd expect.

And Lio is standing under a billboard that features a firefighter and him standing together, the other guy's arm thrown over Lio's shoulders as they beam at the camera.

The sign says "Heroes of Promepolis"]

Huh.

[sugooooooooi]

Her... heroes... of... [Serval scratches her head.] Huh? Oh, that means you're popular! Right?

[turntoashes]

Yeah, which is weird. For me, anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if Galo was popular.

[sugooooooooi]

That's not weird, though. You're popular here, too. You're nice.

[turntoashes]

[He chuckles a little.]

"Nice" doesn't mean "popular", Serval.

[sugooooooooi]

Yeah, but people like you when you're nice, so it works out to the same thing, right?

[turntoashes]

Not always. Most of the people in the city we're in hate me.

[pinkmacaron]

Is that your friend?

[He looks really tall next to Lio.]

You guys look cute.

[turntoashes]

Yeah, that's Galo.

[A soft smile.]

World's number one firefighting idiot. His words.

[pinkmacaron]

You're fond of him eh?

[That sounds like a good friendship!]

Was he part of your group?

[turntoashes]

Nope. He actually arrested me.

[pinkmacaron]

He did? How did you become friends then?

Promare spoilers!

[turntoashes]

We crash landed into a frozen lake that I melted and were told to pilot a mecha. Well, that and he's just...very hard to hate.

[toushiro]

Heroes, are you.

[ his tone is dry, but it's not mocking, either. he does wonder what lio makes all of this. hitsugaya's never been one to like being recognized in this manner, but... ]

What did you do to deserve all these accolades?

[ not meant to be accusatory, just an honest question. ]

[turntoashes]

I'm not sure. When I got pulled to the island, we were trying to save Earth from massive volcanic eruptions, and I think it worked, but...

[toushiro]

[ ??? ]

How would you stop something like that?

spoilers for Promare

[turntoashes]

Using my fire and a giant mech to set the whole world on fire for a second time.

[toushiro]

...How does that even work?

[turntoashes]

We channel my fire through a giant mech and...yeah.

[jokersonyou]

[It's definitely a pretty city, especially lit up like that. Growing up in a small town, Ren had never considered himself one for the metropolis...not until he'd moved to Tokyo for the last year. It hadn't taken him long at all to adjust, surprisingly, and at this point, he prefers it to the countryside.

Either or, he looks about, and notices both Lio and the billboard.]

Good friend of yours?

[turntoashes]

Sorta? I've only really known him about a week, but...yeah, I'd say we're friends, at least.

[jokersonyou]

It definitely looks like it. You really are happy in that picture.

[turntoashes]

Yeah...though this is a dream, so maybe it's just....

[jokersonyou]

Just...?

[turntoashes]

Me hoping this is what'll happen when I get back to Promepolis.
