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!)

Uh-huh! One time Kaban-chan lost her gloves, and it took them a little while to grow back, so her hands were just the same colour as her gloves for a few days.

[compendiem]

...You said Kaban-chan is a human?

[sugooooooooi]

She's a human, but she's also a Friend! She was born from Sandstar and a human hair, just like the rest of us.

[So she's essentially... a humanized human.]

[compendiem]

[ What does that mean

Minato's not going to think about it. ]

I see. [ he says, even though he does not ]

That sounds convenient, though... I wish I could just grow clothes and not bother changing out my uniform every day. The only time I ever wear different clothes is to go out with people on Sundays anyways.

[sugooooooooi]

Right? Though it seems like everyone here likes wearing different clothes all the time. I'm not used to having all different ones.

[compendiem]

I'm not either. At school, we have uniforms, so it's the same thing all year. Wearing it outside of school is okay too.

[ It's very convenient! It's great. He doesn't have to think about clothes at all. ]

[sugooooooooi]

Oh, okay! I was starting to think it was just a human thing.

[compendiem]

I don't think you're wrong. Lots of people I know like changing their clothes often... It's sorta like what you said before, maybe. About new things being fun.

[sugooooooooi]

That makes sense! New things are fun to find, and there are tons of them here. For you too, right?

[compendiem]

Yeah. It's been more and more fun... And I'm picking up quests too, so I'm keeping busy.

[ Sometimes you have to make your life a video game with quests and rewards to keep yourself motivated. Whatever works. ]

[sugooooooooi]

You mean like stuff people ask you to do?

[compendiem]

Sorta. Things people want, things I want, stuff that'll make people happy. I know Tom Nook's been asking us to build things for future neighbors, but... I sorta want to make the people here happy.

[ people he knows, not people he's yet to meet ]

[sugooooooooi]

That sounds fun! I'll help with that too! I like making people happy, too.

[compendiem]

You can help by telling me something I can help you with. You've already helped me a lot, after all.

[sugooooooooi]

Hmm... Can you help me practise the words I'm learning? Most of them are things that show up in the DIY recipes a lot.

[compendiem]

Yeah, I can do that. By sending you more letters? Or... maybe you can write a book. With pictures, 'cause the best books have pictures.

[sugooooooooi]

Hmm... What kinds of books are good? I know there's cookbooks, but I don't know cooking.

[compendiem]

You can write about things you know, or things you like. Or you can make something up completely.

[ ... ]

Books with robots are cool, though.

[sugooooooooi]

Robot? Hm... oh, like Boss! I bet I could come up with something like that!

[compendiem]

[ Heck yeah, another book about robots makes today a win ]

Is Boss one of your friends? [ A Friend? ]

[sugooooooooi]

Boss is a Lucky Beast! They're little metal guys that watch over the park. I think they've been there for a really long time. They don't talk to Friends, though, except for Kaban-chan.

[compendiem]

Huh... sucks that they don't talk to Friends.

[ He feels kind of bad? Who wouldn't want to talk with Serval?? Especially since it's clear that they're capable and are just choosing not to. ]

What do they and Kaban-chan talk about?

[sugooooooooi]

Telling her about things! Like the way around the park and the attractions, which are things that were made a long time ago for people to have fun in.

[compendiem]

Like jungle gyms and monkey bars and slides and stuff...? I don't see why they can't talk to you about those sorts of things.

[sugooooooooi]

I think I heard Boss say once it's about nature, but I don't know. But I don't think that's what attractions are. One was this huge maze in the desert! We had to figure out where the end was, and it brought us to this courtyard thing!
