Weekend 2 Log
Weather: Saturday and Sunday AM - sunny with a nice breeze, PM - cool weather with clouds
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!)

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.]
no subject
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 ]
no subject
[He's very excited about it, if it wasn't obvious.
He motions toward Minato and his ocarina.]
That practice is paying off, darling. You copied me with such speed! I'm glad I won't have to take your place in the ocarina position now.
no subject
I'll keep practicing, too. As a class, we all learned the recorder in elementary school... I've never known anybody who kept it up afterwards.
no subject
[It's a shame to hear that not many who receive lessons stick with it, buuuut not everyone is musically-inclined.]
no subject
He suspects there are also little kids squeaking away at home who drive their parents up the wall and are made to stop and choose quieter hobbies, though. ]
Can you play that one song? Entrance of the Gladiators?
no subject
[Probably not a good sign, is it?]
I'm not familiar with the name. Can you hum it quick?
no subject
no subject
[He recognizes it immediately, of course. Even though he is not from Earth, this is definitely something that needs to transcend worlds tbh.
Now that he knows what Minato wants, he takes it from there with his recorder. He plays it perfectly! Lord knows how many times he's played it over the years.]
no subject
...Bravo, [ he says once Sylvando is finished playing, complete with applause from Minato ] I bet people will be real happy to hear you play. Something from home, y'know? It never fails to comfort.
no subject
Thank you, thank you!
[But on a more serious note...]
You think so? I would be so happy to see their smiles. Maybe we'll have to put on a show sooner rather than later!
no subject
[ No showmaster, and Sylvando looks the part to take up the mantle, from Minato's view. ]
