Weather

I came up with some ideas for abnormal types of weather that you may experience randomly. I came up with the ideas a few months ago, but completely forgot to post about them! The names aren't official, but hopefully you'll understand the general idea.

Tea Rain
Tea will rain from the sky, as the name suggests, and people will engage in various activities to enjoy the weather. Some will set out tea cups to consume the tea, while others will set out clothing or some other accessory so that it will be tea-stained.

For those of you that aren't familiar with the idea, tea staining is used to color fabric sometimes. Since some types of tea have such nice colors (as far as my colorblindness allows me to perceive anyway), it makes sense that people would use tea as a type of dye.

Whenever there is tea rain, the traditional thing to do in town will be to exchange tea-stained items with others. So how that will work is you will be able to choose someone to exchange gifts with. That's pretty much all there is to it.

Bubblefall
Clouds that consist of bubbles will float across the sky and bubbles will fall downward, towards the ground. Most bubbles will simply have air inside, but some will have cats in them. If you're lucky, you'll find a bubble with a nice item in it. This idea is similar to (and was inspired by) the balloons with presents that float by in Animal Crossing: Wild World, though I hope the implementation turns out much less frustrating.


In addition to these weather patterns, I'll include normal weather patterns. Perhaps I'll post about the sort of things that go on when those occur, but not right now. I'll save that for later. In addition to weather-related events, I came up with another type of event.

Flower Turtle Migration
Turtles (that happen to be plant/animal hybrids) will roam through town and shoot out petals as they migrate to a new location. Petals may blow in the wind and you'll be able to run through piles of petals for some light-hearted fun. Perhaps I'll come up with a special game to play with other characters too, like a competition to collect the most petals within an allotted time.
