The Final Week

Mystery Mail

With the event coming to a close, you may be thinking, “What now?” It seemed like Tom Nook really wanted you all to host KK Slider for the sake of going home, but you’re still here. You’re still on Isle Sonrisa. Although...the event did bring you Gulliver, and that in turn brought you those mysterious parts and messages you got in the mail this morning. Could this be a step closer to getting back home? Maybe so, but there’s only one way to find out.

Before you begin, though, Tom Nook has a few words to say for his announcements.

“Everyone, thank you so much for your hard work these past few weeks. We were able to bring KK Slider over and in turn, we’ve been receiving dozens of applications for new residents! Er, granted, I can only take so many of them until we get all of you home -- well, those of you who expressed wanting to go home, anyhow -- so I’ll be busy this upcoming week. Wilbur, Orville and I have been trying to reach out to people to try to help you find your way home, and our friend Gulliver mentioned he sent parts over to you all, yes? Do let me know how that goes! Ah, and there’s one other thing I need to take care of myself, so if you need me, I’ll be in my tent for the rest of the week.”

He doesn’t specify what that specific thing is, though. Ah, well. That seems to be the end of his announcements: Short and to the point. He seems a little stressed and busy what with the application intake, so perhaps your time is better spent figuring out the mystery behind what you received in the mail.

Your next steps will be important, after all. The end is near; how will you get there?

PARTNER SUBMISSIONS

[vellamods]

Here's how this is going to work:

1. Comment below with the partner/grouping you think that you have.
2. The mods will confirm/deny. If it's incorrect, you're free to do another submission. If it's correct, move on to Step 3.
3. When we confirm your submission, you have two options: Play the meeting out ICly or handwave it. We strongly encourage playing it out ICly since this is endgame and one of the final chances characters will have to interact, but ultimately we'll leave it up to you guys.

If you play it out ICly, link the thread to us when you need a result (i.e. you try to fit the parts together) and we'll put a mod comment letting you know what happens.

For handwaving, comment to the confirmation and let us know what your plan of action is and we'll let you know what happens.

for Kevin because MACHINE PARTS or whatever these bits are

[turntoashes]

[Well. This was a weird thing to get in the mail.

Lio turns the weird blue metal flame over a few times before heading to the message board. He'll put something up there, and then maybe send out a message over the phones.]

FOR SCINTILLA

[seacub]

[Emporio isn't really sure about using the network system to find whoever it is he's meant to search for- his letter was vague at best, and that's frankly not something he wants to let loose over the phones. It would probably end in some recursive conversations about who it Wasn't, which...well. That sucks honestly.

But even if he doesn't want to go back to his world, that doesn't mean he wants to chain people here for it.

But where to go? How to look? Ultimately Emporio just ends up fishing at the riverside, Weather Report floating as ominously behind him as ever.

Maybe he'll catch something that the museum needs. That's distraction enough right?]

[As everybody on the island is abuzz with activity, trying to find their partners for the machine to get back home, Alexis has drifted across town in a daze.

She should be happy.

Right.

Right?

Alexis could finally go home, apologize, live her life again.

But...

The past few weeks, she's been quiet. Minding her own business, contributing to the community. And enjoying all the time with Sonico that she could.

Now, though? She has a choice to make.

Alexis stands on the beach, furiously skipping rocks into the ocean, before growling,] Rrrrrgh! [and flopping onto her back, groaning. Help her, maybe?]

For Tom Nook
[Soon enough, Tom Nook is approached by Alexis, her tail twitching back and forth. She asks him a simple question:]

If I wanted to stay—which is a maybe, at least for now—how... would I go about doing that, if this machine brings everybody else home?

WEDNESDAY

[vellamods]

[ On Wednesday, everyone who helped Snake find his lost belongings (or gifted him something) will receive a thank you letter in the mail, as well as a photo of Snake himself! He makes sure to talk about his biceps and his workout routine in each individual letter, but he's grateful nevertheless. ]

[ When you're someone who's never been on a date before with your significant other, you're at a loss despite consuming lots of media that would inspire you. Laurent thought chilling inside a house with a Netflix movie marathon would have been great, but there's nothing like that here, despite his big flat screen TV.

And so, Laurent sent a letter addressed to Adelaide (by sliding it under her house door instead of the actual mail system, because that's what he does something), asking her out on a date and to meet him where she saw him at the beach where they kissed under the shooting stars.

Though... Laurent won't be exactly at the beach, but close enough. He's sitting on a thick tree branch, waiting for her to come. He's not nervous and idly lightly kicking his feet in the air. ]

[Surprising no one, Kevin is bad at checking his mail. So when he finally checks it today, not only does he receive a letter from Snake, he also gets a lot of other stuff.

It's all littering the ground outside of House 5 as usual, but this time it's because Kevin is only interested in one thing: a large, soft plush wolf toy. He picks it up and stares at it, and then the tears start coming.]

Karl... you're really here...!

[He buries his face in the oversized plush, although he doesn't really care if anyone sees him crying now.]
