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!)

You don't feel funny at all, do you?
no subject
I feel fine.
[ ... ]
Was that medicine?
no subject
[ he says it hurriedly. he seems to stare at the candy dispenser for a moment, brow furrowed -- and then he takes a candy and plops it into his mouth.
his eyes close, like he's expecting something to happen. it's kind of awkward, especially because, yeah, nothing happens at all. then, toushiro opens his eyes and grits his teeth. ]
Dammit. [ then, he looks at laurent. ] This isn't ordinary candy. It's...known as soul candy. Only shinigami can make use of such a thing.
no subject
So you're a shinigami?
[ Laurent doesn't look all that surprised... it's just the kind of guy he is. ]
What did you look like before you turned into this?
no subject
[ he wouldn't admit that to people back at home, but nobody here appears to be from the same world as he is. while he still has doubts about whether or not the soul society encompasses all worlds, he doesn't see a point in hiding that information here. ]
I looked entirely human, which I'm aware is not particularly interesting. Most of us take on humanistic appearances.
no subject
[ He hasn't died yet, so he's gotta know these sort of things, okay.
He's super curious because his friend wouldn't tell him. ]
no subject
[ sorry, komamura. ]
That's not very common, though. I'd say shinigami typically tend to look like humans.
no subject
[ Laurent looks at Hitsugaya. He sure is a wolf now, but he's not... big...
...
He smiles normally. ]
Is it really okay for you to tell those kinds of things to people who are alive?
no subject
[ jiiiii. don't give him that scrutinizing gaze, laurent. ]
It isn't. But it isn't as if you'd be able to see me or any other spiritual beings if we go home. ... Unless you are able to sense spiritual energy.
no subject
[ Yet so different. ]
He also deals with death a lot to the point he's actually called Death in some circles.
no subject
[ that actually has him curious. ]
In what way does he deal with death?
no subject
[ That may be weird wording. Give him a moment to explain. ]
You could say that he's in charge of it. He knows everything related to it in the world, can cause it, can deny it... that sort of thing.
Though, he's a pretty good guy. He has his heart in the right place.
no subject
[ ...that's a little much to think about. someone who has control over the cycle of death... ]
I'd hope that someone in his position wouldn't abuse that power.
no subject
[ Though Laurent sounds way too lighthearted about it as if they're talking about something mundane like picking out candy in a sweets store. ]
