Weather: All Week - Clear Skies

A New Week

It’s the week of the event, and now’s your chance for any last-minute preparations! The entertainment area is coming along just fine with the new chairs and decorations and the lineup of musicians ready to put on a concert for everyone. A concert is the perfect way to get someone like K.K. Slider’s attention, surely! Furthermore, with a library underway, the bottom left hand area of the island is coming along nicely.

Tom Nook’s announcements are all about the event, too. You have a big weekend coming up, after all!

“Hello, everyone! Thank you all for your hard work with the event these past few weeks. We’re not done yet, but I’ve gone ahead and copied all of the flyers. Orville is helping me mail them all out to residents all over, so we’ll hopefully have a great turnout to the Isle Sonrisa concert this weekend! Now…

“For more preparations, I’d urge you to consider food for the event as well. Perhaps today may be too early to start preparing anything, but as K.K. Slider will be here on the 15th, maybe Friday evening would be a good time to do so. Oh-! Speaking of food…”

Tom Nook will turn towards Ren with a smile on his face. “I went ahead and added a few little bits to Cafe Leblanc. I thought it might be a popular spot this weekend, so I went ahead and added more tables and chairs for people and added some wooden plank flooring for you! Yes, yes -- er, if you’d rather me take away these changes, I can do so, but I hope you do enjoy them.”

Then, he’ll turn back towards the rest of the group: “Ah, the only other thing I have for you is a little Q&A for our island residents! I thought that our visitors would enjoy getting to know those responsible for putting on such a fantastic event and creating such a nice island. Normally I’d ask you to write it on a piece of paper, but… I thought it’d be fun to do this over messaging so you can all learn more about one another, too! Assuming you all don’t know enough about one another already… Of course, if you’d rather it be private, then you can submit it to me personally in writing.

“I’ve sent the questionnaire to each of you in a group chat. Please give me your answers as soon as possible.”

The questionnaire is as follows:
What would you do with 10 Million Bells?
What do you like most about Isle Sonrisa?
If you could describe all of your fellow islanders (as a group) in one word, what would it be?
Name one of your favorite Isle Sonrisa memories.
Is there anything you want to say to all of your other islanders?

--

For anyone checking the bulletin board, there are a couple of requests, just like when Snake asked you all for items! One is from Raymond:

As much as I love soaking in the nature of this beautiful island, I’m missing something in my own home... office supplies. Can you guys do me a favor? I really need some things that give my home a more office-y feel. A guy has to surround himself with things he feels comfortable with, you know?

I don’t like to think of myself as too picky, so anything that would be at home in an office is good for me. Printers! Plants! Fax machines! Coffee makers! The sky is the limit... I think.

Another is from Audie!

Hey, island friends! It’s Audie! I’m a fashionable gal, and I could really use some spiffy new items to totes bring some excitement to my wardrobe! And my home! Dresses, hats, bags, socks and shoes, and furniture... whatever it is, if you think it’s stylish, I TOTALLY would love to take it off your hands! Just make sure it’s fun and fashionable, okay?

Thanks bunches!

I can write them. I meant putting it as a book.

[ He thinks about what kids used to do, folding papers in halves and stapling where the book spine should be. He might have to resort to doing that. ]

But I think I can make something like that as long as people will be careful when reading them.

Okay! Then we can have more books and the library won't look so empty. That sounds great! I wonder if Tom Nook-san knows how to get any more books. There were tons in the library back home, though not many people knew how to read them.

[ A library full of books, with not many people to read them. Hm... ]

So who was the library for? Back where you came from. Humans?

I don't know! It's just been there for a really long time. The Professor and her assistant take care of it, and whenever somebody needs to know something, they tell them. Sometimes they make a deal for it. I know Kaban-chan had to cook for them out of this "cookbook" thing they had in exchange for them telling her what animal she was, since they knew she was a human and humans could read and cook.

Huh... that's an interesting trade.

[ Though since she did note about humans, he supposes there's at least some use for the library. ]

Actually, Serval. I came looking for you. Are you still tired though?

It's okay! I can get up. [She sits up and rubs her eyes.] What do you need help with?

[ Instead of answering verbally, Laurent gets out a fishing rod with one of the rings from the ringtoss attached at the end like bait.

Then he dangles it in the air, and then tosses it to the ground, making it move a little. It's basically a bigger cat toy. ]

[Serval watches the ring with fascination and immediately pounces for it.]

Oh, it's a new game! That looks fun!

Yup, it's a new game I thought of.

[ Talking about the cat tree in Serval's dream made him think... why not make her something like a cat toy? He moves the ring out of Serval's reach and continues to move it around, making little motions as if to say "catch me, catch me". ]

[She wiggles her tail and goes for it again.]

That's great! I bet I can catch it!

Let's see if you can~

[ Laurent yanks it out of her reach again, but, of course, he plans to let her catch it eventually--mostly because he wants to see her reaction to it. And he knows that when playing this with cats, they must be able to catch it eventually, or it would become more stressed, and perhaps Serval would have a similar result.

The ring sways, and by the time it comes back, it should be within Serval's reach. ]

[She grabs it this time and clasps it in both hands, making a motion like a cat sandwiching the toy between paws. Serval giggles.]

You're right, this is fun! Where'd you come up with this?

There was something like this in my home world, so I made something that resembled that. I'm glad you like it.

[ He yoinks the ring out of her hands and dangles it over her as if it's delicious bait. ]

[Serval sits up and gleefully bats at the ring.]

Your world sounds like it has lots of fun games. I wonder if everyone's did. Joonghyuk-san said he mainly just likes video games, but I haven't seen any here.

[ He continues to dangle that over her while having it sway abruptly here and there. ]

He likes video games? I wouldn't have expected that. He doesn't really seem like the person to play.

Really? What kind of person usually plays? I only know Ezo Red Fox-san.

Well, technically... anyone can play, but sometimes you'd see them mostly indoors instead of outdoors. Joonghyuk is pretty much an outdoor type, I guess.

[ Like... he's huge. ]

I don't get it. But maybe he goes outside sometimes and then goes back inside to play?

Hm, yeah. That's probably the best way to put it. But still... huh. I never would have expected that.

[ And now he knows what to do. Laurent looks rather pleased with himself. ]

Thanks, Serval. I feel like I just gained a lot of new insight.

[She claps and gets back up.] Great! I don't get it, but I'm glad you found something out! Thanks for playing with me.

Sure thing.

[ Laurent puts away the fishing rod with the ring. ]

I'll visit the library some other time to add some more things.

[ He waves and goes to leeeeave. Serval can keep the blanket that's on the couch. ]
