Who attends the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies
33 villagers turn up. These are their first-year lines.
Abigail
Such a rare and exciting thing...
Alex
I can't believe summer's over... I feel like it just started.
Caroline
These candles are romantic, aren't they?
Clint
I wore my special shoes tonight... No one noticed.
Demetrius
The 'Moonlight Jelly'... what a remarkable species! We're very lucky that they stop here on their long journey south. It's unknown why they are attracted to light... very curious.
Dwarf
You say it's raining up above? *gasp* Rain... It's almost mythical to us. Some of us live our entire lives without ever experiencing it.
Elliott
If we keep polluting the oceans, the jellies will surely go extinct. It's already in the process of happening. What a shame... we have no respect for nature anymore.
Emily
Look out there, at the endless sea. Deep underwater, all kinds of life forms are moving around in the dark. Eerie, isn't it?
Evelyn
I remember seeing the jellies once, as a little girl. Oh, how I jumped with joy when they arrived! But that was long ago... I'm a lot less energetic now.
George
What, why are you looking at me like that? You think I'm too old to enjoy something like this?
Gus
'Moonlight Jellies'... I wonder how they taste? I would never try it, of course!
Haley
I'm gonna take a picture of the jellies when they arrive.
Harvey
Well, summer's over. To be honest, I'll be happy to say goodbye to these blasted mosquitos!
Jas
I hope there are babies this year!
Jodi
There! I just saw something glowing! Oh... It's gone.
Kent
Good evening, Farmer. Hope you can find some time to relax before the harvest season.
Leah
Hey. I'm paying my respects to another bygone summer.
Leo
The moonlight jellies are my old friends... they come to the island every year, too.
Lewis
Good evening, Farmer. The Moonlight Jellies are close... I already saw one glowing in the distance. Once we launch the candle-boat they'll come up to the docks and say hello.
Linus
I'll just sneak up when the jellies arrive... I don't want to bother anyone.
Marnie
That's a heavy load of people for an ancient wooden dock! I'll stay over here near the beach.
Maru
It's kind of cold, actually. I guess fall is right around the corner.
Pam
Don't tell Gus, but I'm a little disappointed there's no buffet tonight.
Penny
Life is so easy for a jellyfish... just letting the waves carry you onward forever.
Pierre
Psst... Make sure to swing by the shop tomorrow to get your fall seeds!
Robin
*yawn*... It's past my bed-time. Hey, did you see that candle-boat? I crafted it myself.
Sam
I wonder if they're poisonous? Maybe I shouldn't push Sebastian in the water after all...
Sandy
I heard it's raining back home. Is that why you came here? I kind of miss the rain, actually...
Sebastian
I thought I saw something moving in there... something big, something dark. Just trying to scare you...
Shane
The jellies were here a year ago, and they'll be back again a year from now... nature is amazing.
Vincent
I wanna see the rare green jelly!
Willy
Most night-fish would be scared of the light... these are strange ones.
Wizard
How did you find me back here? I thought I was well-hidden. Perhaps you are blessed with the gift of clairvoyance. I'm here to observe the Lunaloos... or 'Moonlight Jellies', as you call them. They possess an unusually potent magical aura for an aquatic life form.
