Saturday


---



Before Tom Nook does his morning announcements on Saturday, you might notice something different about one of the structures around you. Those of you who can hear well may listen to the curious sound of an engine running in the near distance. Walk towards the source of the sound, and you’ll see two things:

1) The airport door is fixed.
2) Someone is inside the seaplane.

Should you enter the airport, you’ll find… a dodo sitting at the desk. Huh. You haven’t seen this particular bird here yet… Regardless, when he notices you all, he perks up and looks downright excited.

“Hey, hey, hey! Welcome to your one and only gateway to the skies, the Isla Sonrisa Airport! Wow, there are a lot of you! I’m Orville, and I’ll be taking care of your flight arrangements. Hey, Wilbur, get out here and meet these fellas!”

And another dodo comes out from the back of the airport--or, rather, where you’d expect the plane is docked. He seems a little more serious than the other dodo, but he gives a wave all the same, looking at you through his shades.

“You all are the ones we’re taking to the mystery island, right? Nice to meet you. I’m Wilbur. We’ll give you more details tomorrow. We’re still setting up here.”

Wilbur and Orville, the dodos in charge of the airport… try not to think about it too hard. Anyway, the dodos are here to help you out… by taking you to a “mystery island,” it seems.


Before you head out to board the plane, Orville gathers you all into the lobby of the airport. He has an explanation!

"Now, you've gotta be wondering why we've called you all here. There's something special about this island you'll be spending the day at! There's someone who's looking for a change of pace, an island paradise home, and it's up to you to ask them if they'd like to stay! You guys helped prepare that housing plot, right? Can't leave it unoccupied for much longer after all that hard work! Board the plane and soar into the sky right to your potential new neighbor! ... Tomorrow!"

...Well, now that you know what you have to do, how will you prepare?










Sunday


---



On Sunday, before you take off on your mystery island tour, Tom Nook asks everyone to meet at Resident Services again. This time, though, it’s Blathers who has something for you. Remember those containers with the tools during your first week here? Those are back out, but this time, you’ve got two new things: Ladders and vaulting poles. You’ll also notice that your DIY Apps now have DIYs for both of these things! How convenient.

Now that you’re properly equipped to go on your mystery island tour, Wilbur and Orville will escort you onto the seaplane. They need to make two trips, as the max capacity of the plane cannot fit everyone inside; but should you choose to go to the island, you’ll find something very, very interesting. Wilbur is your pilot, and will also be around to assist you while you explore this mysterious island.

The island is populated with bamboo trees! Well, would you look at that! Here’s something you haven’t seen yet. The trees are tall and the leaves are gently swaying in the wind. Should you chop at these bamboo trees, you’ll get bamboo pieces or young spring bamboo. There are even bamboo shoots to be dug up—either for a snack or to plant back home.



There are two tiers to the island—a ground level and a little cliff that you can climb up onto. The island also has rocks for you to mine, trees for you to shake, and bugs and fish for you to catch if you need them. And, pleasantly surprising, there are coconut trees to harvest fruit from: eight of them, four on either shore, with two coconuts per tree. There are also plenty of shells to collect on the shore. What’s missing is that there are no balloons, DIY bottles, or fossils to be found here. All of this can be seen from the aerial view of the island.

There is one other thing that stands out, though: On the left hand side of the island near the beach is a campfire...along with some movement. You can’t quite discern who this may be, but it seems like you aren’t alone on the island after all.

Landing will allow you to do whatever you desire with this island. You aren’t coming back here, after all. Just be mindful of the other visitor who’s here. They may be up for a chat — but there’s only one way to find out.












(OOC: Welcome to your second event log! Any questions can be directed to the FAQ. Since we have two separate prompts for you, we'll be separating this log by days.

NOTE: You do not have to recruit the mystery villager! This is completely optional and we will leave it up to you guys. We're flexible and can mold the game around your decisions!

NOTE-NOTE: You are also free to not board the plane for the island tour if you wish! You're free to hang out at your home island and do work there, too.

Let us know if you have any questions, as always!)

Wilbur and Orville Threads

[vellamods]

[livefreely]

-- so it was birds after all!

[Iori, please.]

I mean... why is it a 'mystery island'? It's not going to have zombies, is there?

[vellamods]

[ At that, Orville looks very shocked! ]

Zombies?! No way! At least, I haven't heard of any zombies showin' up on these mystery islands!

[livefreely]

Hmm...

[She squints at Orville with something quizzical.]

There's more than one?

[vellamods]

Sure!

[ Orville is obviously very passionate about these mystery islands, because he's sparkling-- ]

There are plenty of islands for ya guys to go to and explore! But I won't reveal what they are.... that's part of the mystery!

[livefreely]

Hmm.

Does Japan count as a mystery island?

[IORI????]

[vellamods]

Japan....?

Hey, Wilbur, you ever hear of "Japan"?

[ calls Orville to the other dodo, who replies-- ]

Japan? Can't say I have.

[livefreely]

[Well then.]

[That explains...

A little bit, she guesses? Considering there are, apparently people from different places - worlds, one might argue.]

Guess it counts, then!

But are there also non-mystery islands? Like this one? Actually, does this island even count as a mystery island?

[compendiem]

[ Oh... hey... Minato should probably apologize for the airport door and for the wear and tear that may or may not be seen on the plane thus far, but he does not. ]

So the solution was height after all... We're not going to crash into those barriers out at sea, right?

[vellamods]

Nope! This plane is barrier-crossable!

[ And Orville seems very confident about that! ]

And it's 100% safe--so don't worry too much about crashin' or anything like that! Wilbur's the best pilot I know!

[compendiem]

[ Oh! Ohhhhh... oh oh oh ]

I'm not worried about crashing. Are you going to be staying with us on the island the entire time? Or will you be leaving the plane sometimes?

[ Unsupervised, you know. ]

[vellamods]

[ At that, Wilbur looks over. ]

You don't need to worry about us. [ What a deep voice! ] We've got accommodations here.

[ And Orville, at his desk-- ]

Yep! We'll be here right in this airport.

[compendiem]

Oh.

[ He looks disappointed... but gets over that fairly easily enough. They have to sleep sometime. ]

You've been working here, right? The passports inside, where did you get them?

[vellamods]

Passports?

[ Orville tilts his head. ]

That's gotta be a question for Tom Nook, I imagine!

[compendiem]

Tom Nook?

[ Minato mirrors that head tilt ]

He seemed just as confused as we all were about us being here. Said he hasn't been inside the airport either, so it couldn't have been him leaving them there...

[sugooooooooi]

Hello!

[Serval waves, beaming widely at the both of them.]

This sounds like fun! I hope they're nice.

[vellamods]

Hi there!

[ That's Orville, who gives her a wave with both wings. ]

We're hopin' so, too! Nothin' worse than a mean neighbor!

[sugooooooooi]

Tom Nook-san says he wants more people to come live here. What do you think they're going to like?

[vellamods]

[ Oh, precious girl. ]

I guess that depends on who ya find! Gotta be honest, we're not totally sure who'll be there, but the call of mystery islands is too strong for most folks! Whoever you find, I know they're gonna be real appreciative of your hard work!

But maybe they'll like coffee--I know I sure do!

[ As evidenced by the cup of coffee he's got on his desk! ]

[sugooooooooi]

Oh, coffee! Lio-san likes that, too! And Minato-san likes this thing called energy drinks, but he says they make you not have to sleep, and that's a little scary.

[vellamods]

[ You can practically see the ! above Orville's head. ]

No sleep! How can you look forward to the next day without sleep?

[ This is a shocking development! ]

[whereswalder]

Well! I guess you two are the local... basically skyfarers, eh?

[you know what, he’s accepting a lot lately...]

So, what’s this mystery island, anyway? Is it full of fun and adventure, or is there a job we need to take care of?

[vellamods]

Ya got that right! Wilbur's the best pilot you'll find anywhere!

[ To which the dodo with the sweet shades seems to be rather pleased about! He'll answer Walder's next question-- ]

You'll see when you get there. Don't want to spoil the surprise, after all. Plenty of fun and adventure to be found there, though, and it's for you all to enjoy. No job or anything like that.

[whereswalder]

Oh, so it’s... a vacation from our beautiful island vacation?

...

Yeah, alright, sounds good to me!

[vellamods]

Think of it more as... broadening your new horizons! Who knows what you'll find there, after all! There's so much to explore, and we're here to give you the wings to take flight!
