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!)

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.

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
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: The gentle smile that became a meme. (no thoughts head empty)

[personal profile] sugooooooooi 2020-07-19 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... What kinds of books are good? I know there's cookbooks, but I don't know cooking.

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
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: Looking behind herself with concern. (hurry up)

[personal profile] sugooooooooi 2020-07-19 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Robot? Hm... oh, like Boss! I bet I could come up with something like that!
compendiem: (044)

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Heck yeah, another book about robots makes today a win ]

Is Boss one of your friends? [ A Friend? ]
sugooooooooi: Proudly stating something. (guess what i learned)

[personal profile] sugooooooooi 2020-07-19 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
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: (105)

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
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: Nervous laughter. (i don't get it)

[personal profile] sugooooooooi 2020-07-19 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
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: Arms open. (there's a whole world out there)

[personal profile] sugooooooooi 2020-07-19 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
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!

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
How large is your park...?

[ He can't imagine what sort of urban planning went into wherever Serval lives. He'd be lucky to get a parking lot size of trees and grass. ]
sugooooooooi: Talking about something she's looking warily at. (hard out here when you can't read)

[personal profile] sugooooooooi 2020-07-19 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it's really big! Even just the Savannah Area had a lot in it, and I went around a whole island! Though that was the smallest part of Japari Park. I haven't seen the rest yet.

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Savannah... desert... islands...

Minato rubs at the back of his neck. Post-apocalyptic Earth. He's got to remember that. ]


The savannah was an island? I think... we probably called that place Australia. There was no other land to the very north?
sugooooooooi: Excited and about to ruin something. (joy ride)

[personal profile] sugooooooooi 2020-07-19 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, the island has a whole bunch of areas, not just the Savannah Area! There's the Jungle Area, the Desert Area, the Forest Area, the Snowy Mountain Area... I think it's because Sandstar changed it and it all used to be one thing. I dunno. It's how I've always known it.

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Is Sandstar your god...

[ Or an incredible engineer. A wizard. Same thing. ]
sugooooooooi: Smiling at something ahead. (my favourite thing)

[personal profile] sugooooooooi 2020-07-19 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's something that comes out of the volcano sometimes. What's a god?

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sandstar confirmed for god. ]

A god is... I guess it's when people don't understand something, they create a god to explain it. Like how the world came into being. Or how people came into being. Why things happen. We don't know. So we say "god" did it, and it eases the conscience to have some sort of answer.
sugooooooooi: Proudly stating something. (guess what i learned)

[personal profile] sugooooooooi 2020-07-19 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Does that mean a god brought us here, because no one knows how we got here?

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. But I hope so. I hear one of us has already beat up a god.
sugooooooooi: Driving poorly. (wheee)

[personal profile] sugooooooooi 2020-07-19 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Who? How come?

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Ren, right? I dunno the details, though. It was a while ago, when we were playing games and telling stories around the campfire... I just sort of sat back and listened to everybody talk.
sugooooooooi: Offering help with a smile. (oh how about this)

[personal profile] sugooooooooi 2020-07-19 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay! Ren-san seems like the kind of person who can do anything, don't you think?
compendiem: (044)

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, I guess, yeah. I mean, he's brought coffee to this island, so I bet he can do just about anything.
sugooooooooi: A concerned look. (pic#14113404)

[personal profile] sugooooooooi 2020-07-19 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Coffee must be really important.
