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?

I can think of some people who are pretty sharp with their words, but I wouldn't really relate them with a blizzard. I think Joonghyuk can give off that sort of impression, but I'd say it's like a dark aura instead of a blizzard.

[ He's kidding. Sort of. ]

Anyway, if there's anyone with a link to cold things, let me know. I don't think I've heard of one on the island just yet.

1/2

[toushiro]

[ ............. ]

[toushiro]

I'm willing to bet that it's referring to me. What did it say exactly?

[conceptualize]

"Seek out the one whose tongue cuts sharper than even the coldest, iciest storm."

I thought you were pretty gentle, all things considered.

[ Sorry, Toushiro... Laurent's standards are high when it comes to people saying rough things. ]

[toushiro]

That's because you haven't given me a reason to get to that point.

[ hitsu-softie.... ]

I can't think of anyone else around here associated with the cold, however, so we may as well give it a shot. Here's what I received:

"Seek out the one who tries to play their cards right, especially when it comes to other people."

[conceptualize]

Yeah, that's me. I'm a casino dealer.

[ Yeah, let's focus on that part instead of what it actually says about himself metaphorically. ]

Let's meet up. I have this piece of metal(?). Maybe it'll resonate with whatever you got.

[sugooooooooi]

I dont get wat mine is it cod be evrybody!

Find the one who sees through even the most hopeless of battles.

Evryone here can do that theyr strong and nise. Help

[compendiem]

If it can be anybody, then all you have to do is go to everybody, right?

[sugooooooooi]

I ges! Who do you think it is your smart.

[compendiem]

Hmm...
My first guess would be Dokja.
If not him, then Zeke von Genbu, BRINGER OF CHAOS.
Try them first.

[sugooooooooi]

Mayb but i think Zeke san has someon els. Wats yors mayb i can help!

[rupturingheaven]

"Find the one whose kindness and determination can heal even the gravest ailments."

I have a hunch I know who this is referring to, but I want to be certain. If this is particularly relevant to you or if you received one relevant to me, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you.

[afterword]

Given the current residence list still here, my guess is Jude.

Which is interesting considering I believe my riddle refers to you. "Find the one whose love and passion for their students is almost divine." At least from what I remember of your stories, it fits you.

[rupturingheaven]

That was my guess as well.

It may be possible that three parts are required...

[afterword]

The gift I received with the letter opens up with slots for two items so... it would make sense. Chances are if you and Jude both got something it probably fits in it.

[rupturingheaven]

That seems likely. Shall we meet up to try it out?

[sunspark]

That one could be me. I'm pretty determined and I know there aren't many other doctors on the island.

The letter I got said, "Unite with the one whose faith remains unbroken, even when their future is still unwritten." Do you think that's you?

[rupturingheaven]

That's what I thought.

I don't think that one applies to me, but I'm thinking there could be three parts as opposed to two.

[sunspark]

Right. There's nothing saying it has to be only two.

Fitting together three parts sound tricky, though. I'm not even sure what mine's supposed to be.

[rupturingheaven]

My part looks like a lily...

Dokja says the part he received has two open slots, so it may be worth trying out to see if ours fit.

[spiritoso]

"Unite with the one whose enthusiasm cuts through even the most closed off of hearts."

I can think of a few enthusiastic people here, so I figured putting it out there was the easiest way to find out who this is about! And if you think you have one that sounds like me, come find me! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

[transfusionem]

That is pretty vague... It could describe just about anyone.

The letter I got says "Unite with the one whose heartsong is the key to a grand life ahead of them." I also got something that looks kind of like a heart?

[spiritoso]

A grand life? Makes me think of a grand piano, but my mind always jumps to things like that.

I got what looks like a yellow key. It's kind of flat, but I'm pretty sure it's a key.

[transfusionem]

Well, there's no saying there's no wordplay involved.

And sometimes hearts and keys go together! Like with lockets. Maybe?
