Note Event 1: The Mystery of the Harvest Ghostess
- Mountain Central Area / Anytime / Any Weather

Shirlock is still investigating his first mystery of the damsels reflection when you see him thinking by the river. However, he's come up empty. He describes the damsel to you and you discover he's talking about the Harvest Goddess! You take him to the springs to meet her. The Harvest Goddess offers to appear to him if he looks in the spring water, however, once he does he mistakes her for a ghost and runs away. You meet Shirlock right outside of the spring and he talks about how afraid he is of ghosts.

- Did you want to go again? | +FP
- You seriously need to grow a spine.
Note Event 2
- Entrance to Gordon's Underground Cave / Wednesday/ 6pm / Sunny Weather
You enter the cave to find Shirlock, who recoils at your entrance, mistaking you for a ghost. After that's cleared up he explains he thinks a clue to the second mystery is up ahead; the eel who causes earthquakes. He's hesitant to go alone so you offer to come along. You head inside to Gordon's throne room where you begin to speak with Gordon who is curious about why Shirlock is there. Shirlock asks who you're speaking with and you tell him you're practicing

lines for a play. Shirlock wasn't aware you were an actor.
At this point, Gordon figures out Shirlocks fear of ghosts decides to mess with him, producing a gust of air. This leads to Shirlock running away. You meet back up with him outside of the throne room where he laments about ghosts once again. He tells you he's tried to get over his fear of them many times, even giving you examples (Like the time he went to the bathroom in the middle of the night without turning any lights on). You attempt to make him feel better by impersonating Naomi and Sally, which he's impressed with.
- Do you feel better now? | +FP (Best answer)
- You are thinking of becoming a comedian | +FP
- I'm pretty good aren't I?
Note Event 3
- Beach / Tues or Fri / 9am-10am / Sunny Weather/ *Must have repaired beach pier
You enter the beach area and see Shirlock thinking by the pier. You sneak up behind him and he becomes startled. After he calms down he explains he was surprised because he had just been daydreaming abo

ut the voice he wanted to hear, which was yours! He explains that he has a lot of fun being around you that when you're not around he keeps imagining your voice. He then goes into the real topic at hand; the third mystery of the curse of the Lighthouse Island. He explains that the story goes that if you come there you can never leave, however, he thinks hes figured out why. The answer is simple; the island is just too beautiful! He says he wishes he could stay on this island forever too, but hints that the true reason is because he has feelings for you.
- You want to stay here and go soul-searching! | +FP (Best answer)
- There's someone you like on the island! | +FP
- It's because you don't want to go back to work!
Note Event 4
- Town Plaza / Tues or Fri / 11am-12pm / Sunny Weather

You enter the town to see Shirlock by the fountain. You approach him and he becomes nervous. He tells you that he has been thinking about what he wants to tell you. Out of nervousness, he says he has been meaning to tell you about this "back pains." Then, after saying that he immediately tells you that's not what he meant to tell you at all. Still too nervous to tell you to your face, he attempts to write out his feelings in a memo. He gives the memo to you, but the handwriting is illegible. You tell him that if he wants to tell you something, the best thing to do is to tell you to your face. He agrees, and he finally tells you that you are always on his mind! Whenever you're not around, he feels uneasy. He also doesn't plan on leaving the island in the foreseeable future because of you. The scene ends with him running off, probably because he is too nervous to face you after confessing his feelings to you.
