Weekend 3

WEEK 3 LOG ♬
Weather: Saturday and Sunday AM - Clear skies, PM - slightly cloudy

Saturday rolls around, and the long-awaited fashion show is finally here! To the right of the resident services building is a long, white carpet that runs the entire length of the resident services area. There are studio lights set up behind each chair, creating a theatrical atmosphere. On each side are lines of white chairs, though the two closest to the microphone at the top of the runaway on both sides have flower crowns on them to indicate the guests of honor. There are enough seats for everyone on the island (including Tom Nook and his crew), and there isn’t any assigned seating. Anyone’s free to grab any chair they’d like.

Label herself is standing at the microphone, and she nods at everyone when everyone’s been seated.

“Hello, everyone.” She gives an encouraging smile to everyone. “I’m glad you all came. Welcome to Isla Sonrisa’s first ever fashion show. We’re hoping you have a good time, too; we’re all looking forward to seeing what you have to show off. First, though, I’d like to introduce you to the other judges.”

Seated at a table are three others: a blue hedgehog; another hedgehog--this one, dark red; and… a wolf? That’s a wolf for sure, with a pair of sunglasses perched atop her head.

“I’d like to present Mabel--” She gestures to the blue hedgehog, who smiles brightly and widely and waves with both paws. “--Sable,” Label says, gesturing to the other hedgehog, who seems much shyer, but no less pleased to be here. “--And Audie,” Label says, and the wolf waves and smiles brightly--it rivals Mabel’s own smile!



“We’re all very pleased to be here, and we hope you’ll have fun today. Good luck to all of our participants.”

Despite her slightly subdued demeanor, she smiles encouragingly again, and takes her seat next to Audie, across of the other two hedgehogs!

After the introductory speech, the fashion show begins. K.K. Disco plays from the speakers, and Mabel calls up each contestant one by one to walk down the runway and strut their stuff. It’s a fun fashion show, and Mabel, Sabel, Audie and Label are all writing down their notes on what appear to be score cards.

Once everyone’s had a chance to strut their stuff and the judges have had a while to deliberate, Mabel returns to the microphone and clears her throat.

“Wow, everyone! You all had some really incredible outfits! We really love what you all brought to the runway, and we have our winners! In third place is… Emporio! Your suspender outfit really looked snappy! In second place is Sylvando! That summery look really captures the spirit of the season.”

She pauses, as if for dramatic effect.

“And finally, our winner... is Zeke! Your bathrobe was a little unconventional, but it combines fashion, function, and comfort! Congratulations to all our winners, and please make sure to pick up your prizes from our table!”

Those prizes are: First place, an item from Label's fashion line and 10,000 bells. The runner-up receives a voucher worth 5,000 bells. The third place prize is a voucher worth 2,000 bells. Everyone who participated gets 1,000 bells!

--

On Sunday, there's a celebration of the fashion show at Resident Services! There are tables set up with refreshments -- sweets and desserts of all kinds -- and a water cooler with drinks. Balloons sit on each corner of the area, and there's music playing in the background. The Able sisters and Audie are there by the time you arrive.

Audie seems to be wandering around outside of the party at times, looking at the homes and admiring the trees and decorations scattered throughout the island. She seems very curious about the island and may have a couple of questions for anyone who approaches.

Mabel and Sable seem to be discussing something of importance. There's a lot of nodding, a lot of glancing up and around the island, and then there's a delighted smile on Mabel's face at some point. She may also have some questions for you all, too, when she and Sable are done talking.

Otherwise, feel free to enjoy the party and continue your business on the island as always!

(OOC: Congratulations to the winners of the fashion show! As always, any questions can be directed to the FAQ!)

SATURDAY

[sugooooooooi]

Wow! Good job, everyone!

[Serval's actually wearing something other than her usual outfit? That seems weird, honestly. She's taken off the monocle, which she's currently batting around like a cat toy, and the coat, which is dumped on the ground somewhere. Also, there's a halo floating above her tall ears for some reason.]

I still don't really get fashion, but it's fun, isn't it?

[compendiem]

[ Don't just dump your clothes-- Minato stoops down and picks up the coat, dusting it off before folding it in his arms. ]

"Fashion, function, and comfort" are all pretty fair judging criteria.

[ He, who'd walked on stage wearing the same thing he wears day in an day out, was very glad to hear that comfort was taken in full consideration. ]

How do you feel 'bout wearing something different than the usual? Think you'll keep trying on different clothes?

[conceptualize]

[ What... is that a halo?? Laurent squints momentarily before looking at the rest of Serval. It's kind of amusing how she just tosses the clothes on the floor like it's nothing. ]

Fashion can be fun, but everyone has a different idea of what looks good or not. Though, did you somehow turn into an angel when we weren't looking?

[whereswalder]

Yeah, it’s pretty fun!

[...even though he decided not to participate... and is just wearing his usual outfit...]

...it can be a little intimidating, though. For, uh, some people. Definitely not me.

[spiritoso]

It is! Back home, I would keep up with some fashion trends, but I never really went along with them.

[ She was too busy to really ever get into it. ]

You look super cute, by the way.

[pinkmacaron]

You look really cute! Your outfit really goes well together with everything you picked!

[seacub]

[Excuse a sheep, but he's still a bit in shock. He's not yet gone to get his prize- but what! What!!

The still very dapper sheep blinks. Once. Twice.] I...

I won..?

[Sure it's third, but that's still placing for a prize!!]

[rupturingheaven]

You won. Good job.

[Third place is pretty good!!]

[pinkmacaron]

Congratulations! you did great!

SUNDAY

[vellamods]

MABEL

[vellamods]

[conceptualize]

[ Laurent caught Mabel looking around the island and he wonders if they should decorate the island a little more... Anyway, he walks up to her. ]

Like what you see?

[seacub]

[Emporio is maybe still a bit stunned by the successes of yesterday. He's not dressed so dapper anymore though- nope, it's right back to the cubs hat and shirt today!

Not that. Anyone here knows who the Cubs team is. (To be fair, he's not sure either...)

He's still holding his voucher.] I wonder what to get with it...um-

[He's just now noticed that he nearly bumped into a pair of discussion-deep hedgehogs.] Oh- you were...part of the judge team?

...I guess I did something properly if I got this, so...thank you!

[pinkmacaron]

The store you're planing, miss Mabel, will it have dresses?

AUDIE

[vellamods]

[turntoashes]

[Lio notices Audie wandering around and approaches, just in case she's lost or something.]

Everything alright?

[sugooooooooi]

Hi! [Serval waves, back to the same clothes she wears every day.] We're building more onto our house. Are you looking for something?

[noctolepsy]

[Hmmm, she's awfully curious isn't she. Noctis was about to just pass her by when his own curiousity strikes him.]

So, do you work with them?

[afterword]

[ With the celebration, Dokja figures he can stick around even though he's not an overly party person. With music playing there might be some dancing, right? Might be fun to watch. Of course whether people are chatting at the refreshment tables, or moving about, Dokja is sitting off by himself merely people watching. Until anyone comes by, of course. ] Looking to take a break?

[ He shows a polite smile and gestures for the chair next to him. Feel free to sit! Otherwise, he could be found eyeing the sweets and desserts later. Seeming to have difficulty on what to choose. ]

[ Later on, he can be found on the beach away from the celebrations and commotion. His pants are slightly raised as he lets the water wash upon the shore and over his feet. His white black-tipped fox tail raised high as though to avoid any of the crashing water. Though he does luckily find a bottle to which he inspects curiously. ]

sweeeeets

[conceptualize]

[ Laurent is there when Dokja is eyeing the sweets and desserts. He wouldn't say he has a sweet tooth, but he does enjoy them. ]

If you're looking for the sweeter things, I recommend these.

[ He points. ]

For a little more tart and not as sweet, these are better.

[ And he points to the other selection. What is even here?? idk ]

[vellamods]

[ Play ball, Dokja! ... Wait, no, this isn't baseball! But you do find a DIY recipe for a Classic Pitcher. ]

[spiritoso]

[ During the beginning of the celebration Kaede will seek out anyone who participated in the fashion show! ]

You looked great!

[ Afterwards, she'll be inviting people to dance. Even later, Kaede can be found by the refreshments with a piece of cake. ]

You should try this cake, it's really good!

[ In the evening, Kaede is near house #4, sitting at her piano. She's not playing, however, just sitting quietly. ]

[transfusionem]

[Adelaide's not much for fashion - sure, she likes cute clothes as much as the next person, but she prefers comfort over anything else. Plus, well, she just hasn't gotten as many clothes as some people and she wasn't about to bother anyone so she could compete. Still, she makes a point of congratulating the winners, and she's certainly gonna show up at the celebration. She hovers by the sweet tables, cup in hand as she looks around. She looks kind of...Wistful? Nostalgic? Something like that.

She notices the looks Audie and the sisters are giving the island, and she nudges whoever's closest to her and leans over to whisper.]

D'you think they're gonna move in, too?

[Later at night she builds a fire on the beach, stacking twigs up and then lighting it. She takes a sweat on the sand, stretching out and looking up at the stars. She's just...enjoying the moment.]

[jokersonyou]

[Though not on the same day as the competition, the party is celebrating it. And as such, Ren decides he'll go to said celebration in the same outfit as yesterday: a black and white maid dress. He doesn't look particularly put out at crossdressing, just considering it another outfit to wear, if only for an occasion such as this.

His first stop is the refreshment table, because food is food and food is good. A slice or two of cake is just what he needs. When he's pleasantly full, he'll wander about, hitting up various people for conversation and seeing how they're enjoying things.

By the end of the day, he's a little tuckered out but not ready for sleep just yet. He takes a seat on a flat rock near the shoreline, silently watching the waves come in and out.]
