ROOK: I decided to go ahead and go back without sending anybody out. I started at Town Hall.
ROOK: Have you seen any birds recently?
SKIP: I always keep tabs on the wildlife in my city! I have seen some over the salon and also in the construction yard.
ROOK: Next, the park.
ROOK: I found one of your letters.
POPPY: Oh thank you! This is happy and good!
ROOK: There's still more to find. It seems they've been carried away by a mama bird. Have you seen any birds around?
POPPY: Hmm...well I have seen a cute little bird around the salon. Maybe she has the letter!
ROOK: The pizzeria...
ROOK: Have you seen any birds around?
GINO: I have, Rook! I was talking to Patrick in his trailer about my new pizza idea! Super Pork Deluxe!! A whole pig on a pizza! And then I saw a bird, carrying a piece of paper in its beak! It had made a nest on top of the girders.
ROOK: That might have been one of Poppy's letters...great! Thank you!
ROOK: Town square...
ROOK: Have you seen any birds outside the forest?
LUIS: Yes, I have! Over on the construction site! You could check with Patrick.
ROOK: Have you seen any birds around?
RHONDA: I have! I was getting my hair done at Shirley's salon and saw a big bird on the roof!
ROOK: Oh really? On the roof?
RHONDA: Exactly. I think you can talk to Shirley about getting up there, if you need to.
ROOK: In front of the Salon...
ROOK: Hi Shirley. Have you seen any letters?
ROOK: Why did I ask that? Oh well.
SHIRLEY: No, but there's some racket going on up on my roof! Sounds like animals!
ROOK: Have you gone up to check it out? It might have something to do with my case.
SHIRLEY: Oh, hon, you are so kind. These old knees could never climb up there. But you could probably make it. Go down the street, outside the construction site, and look for some crates to hop onto the roof.
ROOK: I made my way up and over, and indeed, one of her letters was in the nest.
ROOK: I found this letter on your roof, in a nest.
SHIRLEY: Fabulous! So now the noise from those animals will stop!
ROOK: There was a mama bird making a nest on the roof of your salon. She was using the envelopes from Poppy's mail. I'm trying to track them all down.
SHIRLEY: I see. Well, hon, thank you kindly.
ROOK: Next stop: the construction site. And there it was.
ROOK: Hey Patrick, how can I get up to that bird's nest?
PATRICK: Birdwatchin', eh? You'll be able to crawl your way up the construction site, if you manage to turn on the crane.
ROOK: How can I do that?
PATRICK: Well you'll have to do a bunch of things. First, you'll need to find my crane keys!
ROOK: Where are they?
PATRICK: I forgot...I'm sure I put them somewhere safe, though!
ROOK: I'd have to poke around. The bulldozer probably doesn't qualify, but I'd be proud to doze some bulls in that thing. I went into the trailer... someplace safe... oh no, he couldn't mean... the safe? I picked the lock. There they were!
ROOK: OK! I got the keys. What next?
PATRICK: Great work, Sport! Now you'll need to power up the crane.
ROOK: How would I do that?
PATRICK: The generator is in the basement of the building over there. You just need to flip it on!
ROOK: Great. Thanks!
ROOK: My first order of business was to stack crates to make a way up, since that door wouldn't open. Once down below, I took a look at the generator. ...I had to hack it, for some reason. That done, I stacked some crates to make it possible to get back out, then to get over to a box with a crate I could open for a Charismatic bed...
Ha. 1 Charismatic.
ROOK: ...and a Paranormal bed.
1 Paranormal.
ROOK: Then I left the building.
ROOK: OK. I powered up the crane! What now?
PATRICK: You'll need to fix the control panel. It got struck by lightning, Sport!
ROOK: Where's the panel? Up that ladder?
PATRICK: Sure is, Sport. You'll probably have to salvage a bunch of vehicle parts to fix it!
ROOK: Good to know. Thanks, "Sport."
PATRICK: Ha! I'm no sport, Sport. You're the sport!
ROOK: I felt a little odd about doing that. I mean, they aren't as far as I'm aware, artificially intelligent, but after that little episode... anyway, I climbed the ladder and fixed the panel. A pipe moved into place. I hopped the crates back into the building. Then I moved some other crates into position so I could hop onto another block, and from there to a concrete platform. I balanced across the pipe, climbed stairs, and looked into a bucket. It's a figurine of Travis! I balanced across a couple of girders and a board, and reached the nest. The last letter! I took it to Poppy.
ROOK: Case closed, Poppy!
POPPY: YAY!
ROOK: I recovered all of your mail, including that dinner party invitation.
POPPY: NEAT!
ROOK: Listen, can I use your invitation? I need to look for a special crystal at the will reading. It's important.
POPPY: Sure thing, Rook! I wasn't going to go anyway.
ROOK: You weren't?
POPPY: Violet said it wasn't a good idea. She told me that some of the people there might be bad people.
ROOK: She did? Interesting. Well, I'll keep an eye on her for you.
POPPY: Thanks, Rook. Don't let the bad people get you.
ROOK: Okay, Poppy. Now, I'd better get this invitation back to HQ.
POPPY: Are you going to fire up the jet?
ROOK: I am!
POPPY: YAY! Oh, by the way, were you going to help my with my float problem?
ROOK: Oh. About that. I hear I'm getting some special recruits for that very soon. I think you'll be pleased with the selection.
POPPY: Oh... okay!
(New cases! Also, a replica of the Town Center statue for the trophy case! And an agent outfit!)
ROOK: I went back to HQ.
(Netting you an evening gown, a blue suit, anf a cow-themed top hat and monocle.)
ROOK: Hello, Yuki.
YUKI: Yuki is tired of spying on you. Why can't she just bite your face now?
ROOK: Yuki, have you considered talking to someone about this obsession?
YUKI: COME TO YUKI!
ROOK: I went inside and changed into the evening gown. I also considered sending some recruits on missions.
