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!)

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. ]

[transfusionem]

[Friendship is magic, Minato.]

Of course you can come live with us! If you want to. We're not kidnappers.

[toushiro]

I'd hardly call it incredible.

[ just stares at this...pink...bunny... ]

But if you want to live there so badly, be mindful of the outrageous things that some of the people here get into.

[vellamods]

[ Hey, look, it's a pink bunny, just like Chappy! ]

Outrageous things?! Like what?!

[sugooooooooi]

I said I was sorry...

[freckledarcher]

[After getting over from the fact that a bunny is talking. Ashe thinks about it and nods.]

Sure, I don't mind. The island has some interesting people there that I'm sure you'll have fun.

[vellamods]

Wow, really?! Thanks! We can have push-up competitions and compare our muscles all day! Hahaha!

[ This sure is a talking bunny. A bunny talking about his muscles, no less... ]

[lightsmith]

Can't say no to a fellow ninja, can I?

[vellamods]

Really?! Yay! We're gonna have so many arm wrestling competitions, bunyip!

[guideyouhome]

[ Finally something that makes sense: a talking bunny.

Kairi leans down a bit to get a look at him. She hums to herself as she seems to be inspecting him before finally nodding. ]

Hmmm... yup. I think you're going to fit in just fine. [ She holds out her hand to him. ] I'm Kairi. I think you're going to enjoy the island a lot!

[vellamods]

[ Oh, gosh...! Yes, he will take her hand! ]

Hiya, Kairi! I sure hope so, bunyip! Hopefully, soon, you'll be coming over to my house all "Great ninja Snake, let's share a protein shake today!" and I'll be like "PROTEIN SHAKES?! Those are my favorite!"

[livefreely]

But aren't capes the things that got all those superheroes killed in that one movie...

[Iori???

She's saying this all under her breath, however, so it's barely even audible.]

But I'm okay with having a cool person like you around!

We could even actually hold a proper arm wrestling contest... [Because she totally heard that and she's here for like, an arm wrestling competition? Please.] I'm Nagase Iori, by the way, nice to meetcha!

[vellamods]

I'm TOTALLY the coolest ninja you'll ever meet! Though, I think I might have some competition from YOUR ninja friend!

[ Scintilla, he means. ]

Hiya, Iori! I'm Snake! You like arm wrestling too?! I'm also glad to do push up contests, or sit up contests, or even squats contests, bunyip!

[spiritoso]

I would love to have you come live on our island! I think you would make a great addition.

[ She gives him a big smile. He's so cute she can't resist immediately agreeing. ]

I'm Kaede Akamatsu. It's nice to meet you!

[vellamods]

Hi, Kaede! I'm Snake!

[ Snake the rabbit... don't think about it too hard. ]

So far it looks like lots of your friends agree! WAIT... if I'm moving to your island, that makes them MY friends, too, right?!

[kouhou]

I don't see why not! More residents the merrier.

[ Leaning down to match the pink rabbit's height, Sengoku extends his arm out for a welcoming fist bump. ]

I'm Sengoku Kiyosumi and it's great to meet you.~ I'm an athlete myself, so if it's arm wresting or sit up competitions you're looking for, I'll be happy to take you on.

[ Because he heard that bit and fellow jocks gotta jock! ]

[vellamods]

[ Snake doesn't know what a fist bump is.... so he taps his little paw on top of Sengoku's fist with a gentle bap. ]

Hiya Sengoku! I'm Snake--really?! Hahaha, I'd LOVE to go head-to-head with you! The best way to get to know someone is through a competition, bunyip!

[worldregeneration]

Hehe, sure! I think you'd fit in perfectly with us.

[ ... r-really, Colette? ]

We can all be friends, then! That sounds like fun.

[hypnowhip]

[Sylvando can't get over how cute this little bunny is...! He's so enthusiastic, and most importantly, he seems like a good person.]

You're in luck, darling! We just finished getting a plot put together for a future new resident. We're not here to kidnap anyone- we're just looking for someone who might want to come along for the ride!

[He just wants Snake to make sure that's clear.]

It can be a wild one at times, but that's just how life is, right? If you like excitement and surprises, I think it'd be the perfect place for you.

[regression]

[ He can't get it out of his mind that this is a world of mascot animals. Tom Nook, Blathers, Timmy and Tommy, the Dodo birds...

So, of course, as everyone is talking pleasantries with the odd-colored ninja bunny, Joonghyuk is squinting at it behind the crowd. ]
