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!)

[kill bill sirens]

[Someone else was clearly on the island first, judging by the campfire and the vague spidey-sense of something moving around, and whatever could she do but investigate between collecting bamboo for...bamboo-related purposes. Never knew when you'd need some.]

...Hey. Someone here?

[vellamods]

[ There sure is!

Wandering around the vicinity of the campfire is... a bunny? A pink bunny, dressed as a ninja. Once Scintilla calls out, he perks up and gives a wave. ]

Hi! Are you here for the arm-wrestling competition? ... Wait, there IS no arm-wrestling competition, but we can make one happen, bunyip!

[lightsmith]

[...sir is that the level 50 artifact gear]

[what is going on]

Uh-...wait, th....what?

[vellamods]

[ Scintilla's confusion seems to be contagious, because Snake puts a pink paw to his chin and tilts his head to the side. ]

No arm-wrestling competition...? That's okay! Though, I was REALLY looking forward to showing off these muscles!

[lightsmith]

Hadn't planned on one, but don't let me stop you.

[vellamods]

And you couldn't! They call me the "UNSTOPPABLE SNAKE"!

[ They do not. ]

But an arm-wrestling competition would take a while... and I'm only here for a little bit... It's not good to strain your muscles! But there are so many of you... And getting to know each other through tests of strength is the best bonding there is! What to do...

[ He seems, perhaps, disproportionately distressed about this. ]

[lightsmith]

You're a ninja too, aren't you? You should arm wrestle me right now.

[vellamods]

[ He... is totally down for this. ]

YEAH! I can't not arm wrestle a fellow ninja! Let's do it, right now, there's gotta be a stump or a rock we can use!

[lightsmith]

Absolutely there is. C'mon. [LET'S FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOO]

[vellamods]

I wish I had remembered to have my protein shake today, but I think my muscles will be just fine, bunyip!

[ ARM WRESTLE? Arm wrestle! Let's go, new friend, over to that rock! ]

[lightsmith]

Wasn't expectin' to get into trouble here, but I think I'll do okay.

[yaaaaay let's go]

Sure you're ready?

I'm so glad

[compendiem]

Hello...?

[ Minato is here armed with a fishing spear. He's been talking about hunting rabbits with Sonico for over a week, and now is the time. He will make bunny gut guitar strings happen yet. ]

[vellamods]

Hiya!

[ That sure is a pink bunny! ]

I see lots of new friends are here! Man, I should've worn some different clothes... I can't show off my biceps like this!

[compendiem]

[ It sure is... Minato lowers his spear only a little bit. ]

If your biceps are strong enough, you could pop your sleeves right off.

[vellamods]

... You're RIGHT!

[ Did he even consider that...? ]

That would be awful! A tragedy! And I don't even have any extra clothes if that happens! As awesome as my biceps are, I don't want my arms to get cold if there's a sudden snowstorm!

[compendiem]

[ It's the middle of summer, friend!!! ]

Have you considered a cape? Draped over your shoulders to keep you warm, and is safe from bicep flexing.

[vellamods]

A... a CAPE!

[ This is a brand new development. ]

But... I don't have any kind of cape here... Do YOU know a place I can get some kind of cape?! My home doesn't have any cool things like that.....

[compendiem]

Hmmm... You're in luck. I have just the thing for you.

[ From inside his hammerspace pocket, he produces a blue bomber style skirt, opening the clasp and undoing the zipper down the front so that it's one large piece of cloth, perfect for draping over one's shoulders as a cape.

He plops it down on Snake's head. ]

[vellamods]

[ This...

Is the best thing ever. ]

WHOA! [ He adjusts it so it sits just right. ] This is the best cape EVER! Hey, where did you get this?! I've just GOTTA know!

[compendiem]

[ WHOA- Minato feels his shoulders tense at the outburst, and his wings twitch correspondingly. ]

Looks great. It came from the mailbox back at the island we all came from. I think we're here to kidnap you over there to see or something.

A REQUEST;

[vellamods]

KIDNAP?!

[ What a shocking development. ]

It's not a kidnapping if I ask to go, right?! So... Can I go live on your island? I think you'll have to ask your friends, but if there are super cool capes like this, I'm ITCHING to go live somewhere as incredible as that!

[compendiem]

Uh. I wouldn't mind it, but...

[ What friends? Minato looks around helplessly at anybody else around to take over or pitch in. ]

CONCLUSION;

[vellamods]

[ A while after you've had a chance to talk it over and get acquainted with the mysterious pink ninja bunny, he excuses himself to go make a call! And when he comes back, he looks extremely pleased. ]

Great news, guys! I called Tom Nook and he says it's totally cool for me to move in, since there's a house ready and everything! Isn't that great?! We don't have to say goodbye to each other! ... Well, we do for a little bit, bunyip! I've gotta go pack up all my stuff, but you won't be missing me for too long! I'll appear out of the shadows, and you'll be all, "WHOA! Snake, you really are an amazing ninja! Can you teach me all your tricks?!"

ANYWAY! Soon, Isla Sonrisa will have a new ninja in town, bunyip! Thanks for letting me live with you guys! I'll bring alllllll my protein powder once I buy more, so we can share protein shakes and have arm wrestling contests every day, hahaha!

[ Congratulations on your new neighbor, everyone! ]

[compendiem]

[ It's like having an overly excited Akihiko. ]

I hope you like clocks.

[ Your house is going to have SO MANY clocks, Snake. ]
