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!)

i.
[ There's a pop, and then a muffled explosion that comes from the direction of house 5 mid-day. If you're close enough to the house, you might even hear

softly, with feeling: ]

...Fuck.

[ And then the sound of a window hastily being opened to let a faint trail of black smoke escape. ]

ii.
[ There's been some relocating while Minato lets the house air out. The rest of the day he spends by the bouncy castle, where there is already a conveniently placed sign denoting it the "GAY BABY JAIL," around which he sets up the piano and violin, and sits upon the piano bench playing the ocarina. It's the same song he's been playing for the past two weeks, but he hasn't bored of it yet.

There's no network sub-toplevel so I'm going to make my own, Minato sends the following message via network: ]

Recruitment today.
Musically inclined or willing to learn.
Gay Baby Jail.
Snacks provided.

ii

[conceptualize]

[ He saw that black smoke earlier, but considering Minato is texting about something else entirely, he'll assume he's fine. ]

Gathering a merry band of sorts?

[compendiem]

Of sorts.
No need to be merry, though.
That's not one of the criteria.
Can I bribe you with snacks?

[conceptualize]

I'll need a stronger bribe, Band Leader Minato Arisato.

[ Not really, but he wants to see what Minato will offer him. ]

i

[turntoashes]

[. . .

Lio was just stretching his legs and suddenly smoke? He wanders over, concerned.]

You guys okay in here?

[compendiem]

[ Minato is halfway through putting his own leg out the window to use as an escape route, but freezes like he'd been caught red-handed in the middle of arson. ]

Uh. Yeah. Everything's fine.

[ He climbs the rest of the way out. ]

[turntoashes]

[Lio gives him a Look.]

Obviously not. What happened?

gay baby jail

[sugooooooooi]

Hi!

[Serval bounds over to the piano and paws at the keys.]

Oh, I got one of those! It's in our house now. You know how to play it?

[compendiem]

Sure do. Anybody can play the piano- you just bang at the keys.

[ Serval too. There's no need to be shy about playing the keys delicately or anything, and he slides over so Serval can sit on the other half of the bench beside him. ]

[sugooooooooi]

[She giggles and hits a few at a time, like... well, a cat trying to figure out how the piano works.]

That sounds fun! Did you get all these in the mail?

i.

[freckledarcher]

[Ashe was on his way to gather more apples when he saw the black smoke. He quickly walked over to the house and knocked on the door.]

Hey, are you guys okay in there?

[compendiem]

Everything's fine.

[ The answer doesn't come from the door, but from the window through which Ashe would've seen a kitchen if it weren't for the smoke coming out of it, and Minato's head sticking through it and obscuring the rest of the view. ]

Just... letting some air in. It's hot inside.

[freckledarcher]

[Ashe walked over to the window and Minato's head sticking out of it. He frowned at the black smoke then turned to Minato in concerned.]

What happened? Did you need any help cleaning anything up?

I

[whereswalder]

[...

He sees that, and runs to the window to shout...]

Hey, is there a fire happening? Is everyone alright!?

[compendiem]

[ Minato nearly topples right into Walder as he pulls himself through the window and stumbles out of it. ]

No fire! There's no fire. Uh-

[ He glances over his shoulder just to make sure, but no, there's no fire. Just a lot of smoke. ]

I sorta burned a project. But if I leave it alone, it should cool down without spontaneously combusting. I think.

[whereswalder]

Oh... what kind of project? Just for safety’s sake here!

[He’ll peer into the window... because he’s also just curious. Like, for shits and giggles.]

ii

[livefreely]

if i joined, i could finally become a really cool rock idol officially, right?!

i don't know if i can really sing, though.

[compendiem]

Yep.
The coolest Rock Idol Dictator there ever was.
No experience or talent necessary.
You'll be singing with a bunch of other instruments, so everybody is elevated by the whole.

[ Less "we'll cover for you" and more "we'll cover over you" but it's the same thing ]

[livefreely]

that'd be great!

ii

[hypnowhip]

[Oh, so Minato's actually going through with it!! Sylvando shows up for sure, now with his personal red recorder in hand.]

Why did we settle on this name again...? Minato, darling! Are you still in there? I have some exciting news for yoooou!

[He punctuates that by playing a quick little number on his recorder. That is the news.]

[compendiem]

[ He's still here! And if he weren't he would've turned right around in response to hearing the recorder notes.

As it is, though, he's sitting at the piano and lifts the ocarina to his lips, echoing the same tune that Sylvando had just played him. ]

You found another recipe, [ he ventures, with some excitement ]

ii

[spiritoso]

Count me in! Where are we meeting?

[ No questions asked, because all she needs is the promise of playing music. ]

[compendiem]

[ Yes!! He is glad to have Kaede's talent, and the fact that he doesn't even need to bribe her ]

Gay Baby Jail.
South of the river.
Follow the sound of music.

i

[kouhou]

[ Sengoku happened to be rolling by on his new scooter when suddenly the sounds of a muffled explosion nearly causes him to fall off.

When he turns, there's suddenly smoke??? Uh oh. He immediately rushes over in concern. ]

Heeey! Is everyone okay in there?!

[compendiem]

[ —there's actually no answer right away, because Minato has to stop and think about whether Theo and Kevin are even in the house, so Sengoku gets a good long look at Minato halfway through the window with his foot up on the windowsill just sort of staring off into the distance for a moment, before he snaps back to reality and pulls himself the rest of the way out the window. ]

Probably?

[ is the best answer he can provide. ]
