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?

Not unreasonable. I'm sure some would use the opportunity to stay here if they could, but responsibilities back at home require too much of them to do otherwise.

[ though the mention of his friend who can travel across worlds does pique his interest. just a little. his ears are a little straighter to indicate that interest, though he's unaware; if he knew, it'd be to his chagrin. ]

Maybe she's the key for those who want to come back again someday.

[conceptualize]

[ As someone who's been keenly taking notice of people's animal features to read their emotions, Laurent sees it right away, but he won't point it out. ]

I'm sure if she wanted to, she could come here right now. From what I remember last before coming here, she's been in a predicament, so that'll have to be solved first.

[ Hm. Laurent looks down at the plane wing, gets out a star fragment and lightly taps on the wing with it to see if that does anything. ]

for the star frag:

[vellamods]

[ When Laurent taps on the wing with the fragment, there's a little bit of something static-like that twists around the wing for a second. The static is also surrounded with little fragments of something akin to stardust. Then, in the blink of an eye, it's gone. It'll do that again if Laurent tries to tap once more, but it doesn't seem like doing that will do much else. As a note: The static will not shock him, but he will feel that same comforting energy that he and Hitsugaya felt when they combined their mechanical parts together.

Well, a small reaction is better than nothing at all...! ]

[toushiro]

Huh. Would she know that you were here--

[ he pauses when laurent taps the star fragment against the wing. toushiro sees the static and his eyes widen a little. hm... interesting. ]

Again with the stars...

[conceptualize]

She probably would, if she wasn't so busy and actually looking for me.

[ Laurent gets out several more fragments and taps them on the wing to see if there's an even bigger reaction. ]

[vellamods]

[ Sadly, the reaction is still the same. While the wing and the star fragment still seem to be connected somehow, it seems like that tapping the fragment on the wing alone isn't enough to make something happen. ]

[conceptualize]

[ Hm. Laurent puts away the star fragments back into his pocket. ]

Looks like we need the entire magical plane.

[ Assuming... that it's a plane. ]

[toushiro]

Probably.

[ he's willing to bet it's a plane, too, apparently. ]

I hope they're not making us build an entire plane from scratch.

[conceptualize]

[ Laurent laughs a little. He's not excited about that prospect, but. ]

If it's as magical as it seems, we'll probably just need to bring the parts together. I assume the others have the remaining parts of the plane. Then, we get out the star fragments... I wonder if they'll act as fuel. Funny, if it runs on wishes and dreams.

[ He tries putting the plane wing into his pocket. There's no way they'll be able to lug this thing around... ]

[toushiro]

I think it's ridiculous, personally.

[ something that runs on the power of wishes and dreams... it all sounds so cliche, like it should be something straight out of a storybook. but given how things have been going here so far, he doesn't doubt that it could be true.

the plane wing fits into laurent's pocket, somehow. yet another part of this world that hitsugaya will never understand. the fucking pockets, man. ]

Hopefully you're right. I doubt any of us know how to assemble a plane.

[conceptualize]

You never know if it'll be a hidden skill on anyone.

[ Laurent laughs a little.

He's no longer surprised about huge things going inside pockets, seeing as he's seen a number of sharks zoom in there. If anything, he'll miss this free hammerspace when he goes back home. ]
