“	“Elliott lives alone in a cabin on the beach. He is a writer who dreams of one day writing a magnificent novel. He is a sentimental “romantic” with a tendency to go off onto flowery, poetic tangents. When he can afford it, he enjoys a strong beverage at the Stardrop Saloon. Could a humble farmer such as yourself be the inspiration Elliott is looking for? There’s only one way to find out…”
	— Dev Update #12

Heart Events

Two Hearts

Enter Elliott's cabin when he's there.

Details
Elliott will greet you, and explain that he came to Pelican Town to become a writer but no one from his hometown believed he could make it. He asks what kind of novels you like: "Mystery" (+30 friendship.) "Romance" (+30 friendship.) "Sci-Fi" (+30 friendship.) He says he'll remember your choice, then asks you to look at his rose because he thinks it may be wilting.

Four Hearts

Enter the Stardrop Saloon between 3pm and 10pm when Gus is there.

Details

Gus says he'll take your order in a moment. Before he gets to you, Elliott walks into the building and says it's a pleasant surprise to find you here. He says that he's stopping in to relax after eight hours of writing. He orders two ales, one for you and one for him. He orders wine for you if your character is female. You stop him before he can drink and propose a toast. You can choose from four different toasts: "To Pelican Town!" (+25 friendship.) "Ah, to a harmonious future for the community... what a virtuous idea. Here's to Pelican Town!" "To our friendship!" (+50 friendship.) "That's a great idea! Here's to us!" "To my good health!" (-10 friendship.) "Well... okay." "To your doom!" (-50 friendship.) "Hmph. Forget it." You both drink and he starts dancing where he is. Then the cutscene ends, and you are transported outside the door of the Stardrop Saloon. Note: The beverage consumed during the heart event will heal up to 50 Energy and 22 Health, and leave the player with the "Tipsy" buff.

Six Hearts

Enter Elliott's home when he's there.

Details

Elliott is playing the piano. After he finishes, the player has a dialogue option: "That was wonderful" (No effect on friendship.) "How long have you been playing?" (No effect on friendship.) Elliott talks about how difficult it's been to finish his novel and says "Sometimes I wish I could just throw it all away and become a farmer like you." The player can respond with: "It's just as hard to be a farmer, you know" (No effect on friendship.) Elliott apologizes for being insensitive and clarifies that what he really wants is to experience "real life". "Come live on the farm, I could use the extra help" (No effect on friendship.) Elliott is surprised but declines the offer, saying he needs to finish his novel.

Eight Hearts

After receiving a letter from Elliott, visit the museum between 1pm and 7pm. (It doesn't need to be the same day.)

Details

Elliott sends you a letter inviting you to a reading of his finished novel at the library that afternoon. When you enter the museum, you find many villagers have gathered to listen to Elliott's first book reading. Elliott expresses his delight at your coming to listen. He reads from his novel. Depending on your choice in his first heart event, you'll get one of these stories: The mystery novel Blue Tower. "It's a mystery novel set in a surreal, dystopian future. Chapter One. From the shadows emerged a man, radiating with enigmatic omniscience. 'Good Evening, Mr. Lu,' he said, the corners of his mouth quivering. Lu seemed astonished. 'How did you know my name?'" (Fade.) "Lu checked Jenu's pockets, then stood up and walked into the bedroom. He quickly found the small golden key that he was looking for and slipped it into his coat pocket." The romance novel Camellia Station. "It's a romance novel about a train stewardess who falls in love with a traveling architect... Chapter One. 'Your ticket, sir?' Ticket collector Gozman extended a gloved hand towards the young commuter. 'Ah, yes. I have it right here,' he replied, reaching into his coat pocket. Mortified, he discovered that the ticket was missing." (Fade.) "...'Clara, there's something I must tell you,' he blurted as she turned to leave. Clara turned, slowly, and saw the look of desperation in Horatio's eye. At that moment Gozman burst into the compartment, red-faced." The sci-fi novel The Rise And Fall Of Planet Yazzo. "It's a sci-fi epic spanning thousands of years in an exotic planetary system. Chapter One. Commander Yutkin stepped through the golden archway as the airlock snapped shut behind him. Today was his first day on Planet Yazzo, and all 14 of the alliance delegates had been summoned to the Grand Spire..." (Fade.) "...And as the 7th moon descended beneath the horizon, the planet of Yazzo would begin its sinister transformation... an event for which Commander Yutkin was completely unprepared." Elliott thanks everyone for coming, then walks up to you and asks how you think it went. He says he's glad that you liked it, because he dedicated it to you and he based it on your favorite genre.

Ten Hearts

Go to the beach on a day when it is not raining between 7am and 1pm. A letter will be sent to you but it is not needed to trigger the event.

Details

Elliott writes you a letter saying he has an idea. You join him on the docks. Elliott had fixed the row boat that's been on the docks, and he wonders if you want to go with him on a "maiden voyage." If you accept, Elliott talks about his novel and how he couldn't have done it without you. Then he's at a loss for words to explain how he feels about you. Suddenly, he kisses you! You begin trembling. I'm happy (+50 friendship.) If your character is a man, he will comment on how he didn't know if you would have feelings for another man. You both head back to shore, and Elliott comments on how the valley finally looks like home. You're making me very uncomfortable. Stop. (-50 friendship.) Elliott apologizes and the scene ends. If you refuse, Elliott says "I see" and the event ends.

Group Ten-Heart Event

If the player is unmarried and has given a bouquet to all available bachelors, raised friendship with each bachelor to 10 hearts, and seen each bachelor's 10-heart event, then entering The Stardrop Saloon will trigger a cutscene. If Alex is the final bachelor you share a Ten-Heart Event with, the Group Ten-Heart Event will be unavoidable as it is triggered immediately afterwards.

Details

If the player has a Rabbit's Foot in inventory, the cutscene will consist of a friendly game of pool. If the player does not have a Rabbit's Foot in inventory, all bachelors will express anger about the player dating them all at one time. Regardless of the player's dialogue choice(s), all bachelors will decide to give the player the "cold shoulder" for about a week after the event. They will give angry dialogue when interacted with, and refuse gifts. After about a week, all bachelors will forgive the player, and dialogues return to normal.

This event will trigger only one time per save file. This event will not trigger if you are married or have given a Wilted Bouquet or Mermaid's Pendant to one of the marriage candidates.

Fourteen Hearts

Exit the farm house between 6am and 3pm on a day when there are no Festivals occurring for the next 8 days.

Details

Elliott will be on the front porch when the player leaves the farmhouse. Elliott will send the player letters in the mail daily for a full week while he is touring for his book signing. On the second day of the week of his absence, one Crab Cakes will appear in the player's fridge or Mini-Fridge if there is available space. On the 8th day, he will arrive back at the farmhouse, and the last part of the event will trigger as soon as the player wakes up.

Marriage

Main article: Marriage

Once married, Elliott will move into the farmhouse. Like other marriage candidates, he will add his own room to the right of the bedroom. He'll also set up a small garden behind the farmhouse where he'll sometimes go to read.

On rainy mornings and mornings when Elliott stays inside the farmhouse all day, he may offer you Coffee. On rainy nights, he may offer you dinner: Baked Fish, Fried Calamari, Chowder, or Fish Stew. On New Years' Eve (Winter 28), he'll give you a bottle of Wine.

That's why I chose this beach as my home, so that I could have peace and quiet to do my work.” “ “The forest is a wonderful place.

It smelled just perfect... and firm, too!” 6+ Hearts “ “Sometimes I wonder if I might just have an inflated self-image and no real skills... No, no... I'm not fishing for compliments. Though they are appreciated...” “ “Some people are shy. Keep showing interest in them and they'll get comfortable around you. Everyone likes to have friends, even that grumpy blacksmith.” “ “Oh, [Player]! I was hoping you'd show up. It's always a pleasure to see you.” 8+ Hearts “ “Sorry, I'm feeling morose today. I wish there was more certainty about the future. I don't want to grow old as a lonely hermit on this beach...” “ “It's a little lonely out here on the beach... so I apologize if I was ever a little too forward with you when we first met. I was just eager to have a friend. It feels good to have a close friend like you.” Summer “ “A gentle little sunbeam woke me up this morning. I've never felt so refreshed. I'm sorry if that isn't very interesting to you.” “ “I know that I am kind of an 'oddball'. I hope you don't mind.” “ “I've encountered some beautiful shells in front of my house.

I could use the company.” 6+ Hearts “ “[Player], I know you have faith in my abilities as a writer.

And not with sea water this time!” 8+ Hearts “ “[Player], I was just thinking about you. Maybe you sensed it. So! Tell me about your day.” “ “I wouldn't mind trying my hand at farming.

I could do with a respite from my lonely labors.” “ “[Player], you've trudged through the snow to visit me? I'm honored!” “ “People have scraped a living off the sea for thousands of years. I just go to the grocery store.” “ “A day can never be boring when you follow the whims of your imagination. Sorry, am I babbling on about nonsense?” “ “Breathe deeply. Do you notice it? That's the smell of the sea. How does it make you feel?” “ “I have to brush my hair daily, or else it'll clump up into messy knots. It's a lot of work. I'm surprised I haven't just shaved it off in a fit of passion. I suppose I am too vain.” “ “I've been doing little indoor exercises, since it's often too cold to go out. Sorry if it's a little humid in the cabin.” “ “I really should scrub my floorboards today. I think an algae is starting to form. Do you make time for cleaning?” 6+ Hearts “ “Breathe deeply. Do you notice it? That's the smell of the sea. Whenever I smell the sea, it reminds me of my youth. The ocean really impressed me as a child.” Green Rain Year 1 “ “Let's not get in a tizzy, now... Gus! I propose a round of drinks to settle the nerves!” Years 2+ “ “Ah, yet another unique day in the valley. Stimulating, to say the least!” At Ginger Island “ “That was quite the ride!” “ “I must admit, this beach blows my own humble strand out of the water.” “ “Oh dear!

Heh heh... Never mind!” “ “I've heard rumors of pirates coming to shore near here at night. They say it can get pretty wild!” “ “I'll see you back in the valley.” “ “Hopefully a crab hasn't snuck onto my clothes again.

Events

Indoor Days “ “I've been taking much better care of myself now that we're together. The bachelor life wasn't particularly healthy for me.” “ “If you find a spider in the house, don't squash it! Just let me know and I'll take the poor thing outside.” “ “Today is going to be a fantastic day... I can feel it! I get this special feeling in my nose...” “ “I've had this recurring nightmare that you gave me a buzz cut... you wouldn't ever do that to me, would you? I trust you.” “ “I've been keeping a journal ever since we moved in together. Now that I actually have a life, I have lots to write about. I want to make sure I always remember these years.” “ “I might stay here and write some poetry. I'm feeling a sudden surge of creativity! You go on ahead and take care of business.” “ “If you go into town, make sure to say hi to everyone for me.” “ “Are we doing okay on money, (name)?” In his side room “ “I think I might do some writing today. Will you be okay without my help?” Giving coffee “ “Good morning, (name)! I made us a pot of coffee. I find myself craving this robust flavour nearly every morning.” After placing a decoration “ “What do you think, hun? I figured the room could use a little more decoration.” Outdoor Days “ “Today, I'm going to continue writing my new novel. What better place than our wonderful farm? This is perfect.” “ “My wildest dreams have come true... just look at this incredible landscape!” “ “Fertile soil beneath my feet, fresh air to fill my lungs, and the sun's warmth to delight my skin... Life is going well.” “ “I might stay here and write some poetry. I'm feeling a sudden urge of creativity! You go on ahead and take care of business.” “ “I drank too much coffee... my mouth feels about as dry as the Calico Desert. Oh... sorry about the coffee breath.” “ “If I stay perfectly still, perhaps a resplendent butterfly will bless my nose with a landing.” “ “I spent the morning repairing a few of the fences.. They should be as good as new. I also filled (Pet name)'s water bowl.” “ “I got up early and watered some crops for you. I hope it makes your job a little easier today. I also filled (Pet name)'s water bowl.” On Patio “ “Ah, what a lovely day to read a book... don't you think, my dear?” Indoor Nights “ “A crackling fire adds wonderful ambiance to the house... every piece of wood burns in a unique way.” “ “I never had much success growing plants in my old beach house. Hopefully I can pick up a thing or two by watching you. In this respect, you are the master and I only a humble apprentice.” “ “When I behold thy wondrous face, a precious jewel of form and grace, my heart... torn by the dread of night, is purified with golden light. Poetry is the only way I can begin to describe my feelings for you.” “ “You always smell so good after a hard day of work. It's your natural musk!” “ “You smell sweet, my dear. Like a honeycomb drifting on a pool of spice tea.” “ “Come here, let me massage your back. You look tense.” “ “You smell sweet, my dear. Like a cinnamon leaf floating in the summer breeze.” “ “My love... I wouldn't trade you for 100 iridium bars. Nor 1000 ... Not even 10,000 bars, no. ... No, not even 100,000 bars! Wa...one million bars of pure iridium...? Don't make me do this...” (Male Player) “ “From the brightest winter star, to the shimmer of an iridium vein... nothing can compare to my wonderful man.” (Female Player) “ “From the brightest winter star, to a fragrant fairy rose... nothing can compare with your captivating beauty.” Rainy Days “ “I feel inspired today... I think I'll do some writing.” “ “The sound of rain, in some tiny way, reminds me of my cabin by the beach. The farm is wonderful, but I do miss the sound of the ocean.” “ “I think I'll remain indoors today, my dear. The rain causes my hair to go limp.” “ “My inspiration for writing is like the weather... It comes and goes at random. Today I feel entirely dull. Perhaps I'll read one of the classics to get my creative juices flowing.” “ “The rain makes me think of my old life by the ocean. Change is part of life. That's okay.” Giving coffee “ “I got up early and made coffee. I find that a cup of this exquisite brew makes the early morning a lot more pleasant.” Rainy Nights “ “Good evening. Did you have a productive day, my dear?” “ “You're ice cold! Let me keep you warm.” “ “My skill with words is unmatched, yet I can't find the way to properly describe your [allure/beauty].” “ “What did I do today? I'll just say this... it takes a lot of work to maintain this rugged physique!” “ “Sit down, relax! You've got to be tired after trudging through the mud all day.” Giving food “ “I spent the afternoon dreaming about the ocean. So I decided to cook some seafood.” Going Out “ “I think I'll walk down to the beach today, it's always nice to see the ocean again.” “ “I had a nice time at the beach by myself, I watched the waves come and go, just like old times.” High Hearts “ “[Player]... I'm so proud of all your hard work. I'm very lucky to have you.” “ “I made a whole secret book of poems expressing my love for you.” “ “I came to the valley to find the ivory tower from which my talents could reign supreme. But what I really found was a dungeon of loneliness. You saved me from that.” “ “I feel burnt out in your absence. But when I hear that sound of muddy boots on wood, my heart rises from the ash.” “ “I'm doing a walking meditation. It's good for creativity.” “ “Be careful out there! I do worry about you sometimes. There are people in the world who would take advantage of you.” (Male character) “ “Wow, you look really handsome today! Did you shave? Your jawline is perfect.” (Female character) “ “Your feminine allure is irresistible today. I can't keep my eyes off you.” When jealous “ “So, I heard you secretly gave <name> a gift today. Do I have to be suspicious of you? ...” During pregnancy “ “<spouse name> we're going to have a baby soon!” “ “[Term of endearment], can't you tell? You're pregnant.” “ “<spouse name>, I hope our adoption request gets approved. I want a baby.” “ “Hun, I filed our adoption papers. Now all we can do is cross our fingers and wait.” After having one child “ “Have you had any time to entertain little (First child's name) today? Maybe a second child will make things easier for both of us.” “ “Little (First child's name) is going to have the perfect childhood here. There's so much to explore.” “ “Caring for babies isn't exactly my strong suit... but I'll do my best to be a good father.” After having two children “ “I already gave (First child's name) and (Second child's name) their food. They eat a lot for such small creatures.” “ “I was carrying (First child's name) earlier and I could've sworn I heard a "Da...da".” “ “I'm going to teach (First child's name) to read as soon as possible!
