Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice is a Summer event introduced in.

The event marks the longest day of the year, in which the weather is sunny throughout the day, and remains so during the night. A face cut-out board, fit for two players and featuring a field of sunflowers, appears next to Isabelle in the town plaza. Despite the constant sunlight, nighttime bugs still appear. In addition, the Island has separate weather from the town and so appears dark at night, rather than having extended daylight.

When speaking to the player, Isabelle will say "Hello, Mayor! Today is the Summer Solstice, so don't expect to see the moon at all tonight!" (Other dialogue available in the dialogue section). She will also give the player a pair of ladder shades. Isabelle remains in the town plaza whilst the event is running, therefore leaving the town hall and its functions inaccessible for the day. Throughout the Summer Solstice, Isabelle can be seen wearing a sky blue T-shirt with a sunflower pattern on it.

At 12 AM, Isabelle will leave the plaza and return to the Town Hall, despite that Summer Solstice is still in effect.

Dialogue (During Event)
During the Summer Solstice, the following dialogue is spoken.

Isabelle's Dialogue:


 * "Hello, Mayor! Today is the Summer Solstice, so don't expect to see the moon at all tonight! I've prepared a little something for the Summer Solstice. You curious to see what I came up with? They're ladder shades! Seeing as how it'll remain so hot and bright all day, I figured these would come in real handy! Plus, they're the height of fashion!"


 * "Just what is the Summer Solstice, besides the day I melt into a puddle of fuzzy puppy fluff? Well, it's the longest day we'll have all year! It doesn't start Summer or mark the middle or anything. It's just the longest day, and it's hot, hot, HOT! Goodness, be sure to get a drink of lemonade today!"


 * "I hope you enjoy this super-looooooong day today, Mayor! But don't stay in the sunlight for too long, or else you might get a sunburn, and those are no fun!"


 * "Just because it's bright all day isn't an excuse to lose track of the time! I make sure to keep my watch with me at all times just in case I forget if it's morning or night. So right now it'd be--ACK! My watch! I forgot it at home!"


 * "Today's the longest afternoon of the year... That makes it a great day for playing!"


 * "I bet there's going to be a lot of people who stay up all night tonight. Though it seems really odd to talk about staying up late on a day when it never looks like it's late!"

(Not neccessarily in that order, however.)

Uchi Villager's Dialogue


 * "! It's gonna stay out light tonight! Weird and thrilling... That's the Summer Solstice for ya! I'm getting excited, !"

Normal Villager's Dialogue


 * "Everyone in town is excited about having extra hours of daylight!"
 * "Having a good day, ? I am! More hours in the day means more time for fun, !"
 * "All this extra daylight is making me very productive. I'm taking care of all kinds of business, !

Cranky Villager's Dialogue


 * "'The longest day of the year.' When I was a kid, hearing that would really get me fired up! Doesn't it make it sound like you can play even longer than normal? Nowadays...the first thought that runs through my head is, 'It's really hot outside!' Awwww man, just listen to me! I've become one of those good-for-nothing adults! !"
 * Yo, ! ! Uhh, good evening? Right?
 * "Once we hit the Summer Solstice, that's when I can really slip into the summer mind-set! Make sure the heat doesn't wear you out, though, !"

Smug Villager's Dialogue


 * "On the Summer Solstice, we're treated to both the longest day and the shortest night of the year. Wild! After today, the hot summer days are supposed to come... Are you ready for them yet, ?"


 * "Hey again, good evening! The sun shouldn't stay out TOO much longer, I think, ."


 * "Look at you, still shining so late at night! Just like this crazy Summer Solstice sun, ."


 * "...You're asking me why the sun won't set today? I don't know! Maybe the sun is just jealous of my good looks? Hah ha!

Lazy Villager's Dialogue


 * "Umm... I don't know if I should be waking up or going to bed. Should I be snacking or snoozing right now? The Summer Solstice is kind of hard for me to wrap my head around, ."


 * "It finally feels like summer now that it's the solstice! And summer means lots of different bugs! I'm gonna catch a whole mess of bugs this summer, !"


 * "It's great that it's still light out. Great in a kind of weird way, ."


 * "There's no night today, so does it still make sense to call dinner "dinner"? I think I'm gonna call it "lunch the second"! Yeah, that sounds good!"


 * "Yo, ! You soaking in the blazing sunshine, ?"

Snooty Villager's Dialogue


 * "It's evening, right, Hannah? With all of these extra hours of sunlight today, I'm a little lost. OK, pull it together, <villager's name>. It's night. Get it right."
 * Oh! Hey, <Player's Name>! Today's Summer Solstice! This whole sun-staying-out-all-night thing... It just doesn't sit right with a night owl like me, <villager's catchphrase>."


 * "Good evening, <Player's Name>. I can't believe it's already . This sunny solstice really turns time upside down, doesn't it?"
 * "Hello, dear! Look! Look! The sun's really not going anywhere! <Villager's catchphrase>!
 * "My, my, my, <Player's Name>. You ARE making the most of your solstice today. You're outshining even the sun today. I'm impressed, <villager's catchphrase>."
 * "Oh, <Player's Name>! I keep seeing you everywhere today! The Summer Solstice has really made you extra peppy, <villager's catchphrase>."
 * "There are all these extra hours of sunlight today. Are you getting as hot as I am? I'm starting to smell like a bucket of <some food?>! Which should never BE served in a bucket, <villager's catchphrase>."


 * "You again, <Player's Name>? Between you and all this extra sunlight, I'm nearly worn out!"
 * "Sun's up pretty high now... Is it really gonna be light out all night tonight, <villager's catchphrase>?"


 * "Summer Solstice is here! Time for all kinds of summer fun. You know like (I didn't catch this part >-<) And of course my full-body protective sunsuit rated at SPF 1,000. <villager's catchphrase>..."

Jock Villager's Dialogue


 * "Once we hit Summer Solstice, I really start getting pumped for summer! Summer is just awesome! I love running around and sweating like crazy!"
 * "You sure you shouldn't be sleeping? It's still light out, but it's still night, you know. <Villager's catchphrase>?
