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!)

[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.]

[turntoashes]

[Lio reaches over and snags some sort of apple tart thing.]

Audie's interested, but I don't know about the sisters. They mentioned something about vouchers, though, so maybe?

[transfusionem]

[Hmm...]

What if they open a store, the way the brothers did? Sibling stores might be common place, here.

[Yes the only reason she assumes this is because of Timmy and Tommy, don't judge her logic.]

[turntoashes]

[. . .]

What kind of store, though? A tailor or a boutique?

[transfusionem]

Is there much use for a tailor when the clothes here just seem to fit regardless of who's wearing it...?

[turntoashes]

...huh. They do seem to just fit regardless, don't they?

[Weird.]

Boutique then, probably, to sell Label's stuff.

[transfusionem]

Yeah, I wish clothes back home were like that.

[Being tall is...a struggle.]

Seems the most logical, if it is a store they're looking for.

[compendiem]

[ Like a moth to a flame, Minato gravitates towards the fire once it's dark out, dragging his feet a little with his mouth frozen wide open in a yawn before he manages to get out, ]

-—Okay if I sit here?

[transfusionem]

[She glances up at Minato, before nodding.]

Yeah, of course. Who am I to stop you?

[compendiem]

[ He stops in front of the fire next to her, swaying a little on his feet and staring at her for a moment before lowering himself to the ground. ]

You're Adelaide Cooke. And you could if you wanted to.

[transfusionem]

[...Heh.]

Yeah, that's true. But I guess I don't want to.

[compendiem]

...I kinda want to ask why not, but I'm worried you'd change your mind.

[ There are plenty of reasons, he thinks, but he's okay living in ignorance once in a while, shifting on the sand so his back is to the fire and he won't be blinded staring into it. ]

[transfusionem]

Because I like you! You're an alright kid.

[She's going to answer anyways, too bad.]

[spiritoso]

[ Kaede smiles. She's holding a plate with a slice of cake on it. ]

I hope so. They're all really cute, don't you think?

[transfusionem]

They are... Audie seems really peppy.

[And the sisters are very cute.]

Can a wolf and a rabbit live together happily?

[spiritoso]

I think so!

[ She sounds completely confident in that too. ]

Everything here is so peaceful... I can't imagine that they would have problems here, at least not like they would back home.

[conceptualize]

[ Social things are tiring things, and they're events that usually drain Laurent despite how sociable he tends to be. One would expect him to be an extrovert, but sometimes he feels like he's neither.

He takes care when walking on the beach so that he doesn't accidentally kick sand at Adelaide when he walks next to her. ]

The stars are nice tonight, aren't they?

[transfusionem]

[She appreciates not being doused in sand, she really does.

She has a smile for Laurent, looking up at him.]

Yeah. I'm still not used to seeing stars like this and it's been, what, three weeks?

[conceptualize]

There will be many more moments like this.

[ Laurent isn't actually sure, but since it's possible, who's to say it won't ever come back in the future? ]

Is it the scorpions that make you wary about late night strolls?

[transfusionem]

I hope so...

[She sounds wistful, dragging her fingers through the sand.]

Okay, the scorpions are no joke! They're kind of assholes! They're menaces to society!

[conceptualize]

... You got attacked by one, huh?

[ Laurent thinks about this for a second. ]

You look like you recovered nicely though. Try to smack one away with a shovel next time.

[transfusionem]

Yes.

[She's sulking, but even still...]

I don't want to kill it! Just...not get stung.

[regression]

[ Joonghyuk isn't too happy about parading in the fashion show, but the bells sure shut him up. Now at the celebration, he's merely watching everyone and inspecting the snacks. He doesn't... Plan on having any because he's that type of person who won't eat something made by someone else. ]

They seem interested. [ He peeks over to them one more time. ] If they have anything to do with clothing, that would be ideal.

[ Though he's used to wearing the same thing every day... ]

[transfusionem]

[Deal with it, Joonghyuk. Also, stop being so fussy and judgmental!!]

I know, right? I would like to wear more than the random shit you get from the mail.

[She's gotten more shoes than anything else... She would like some pants. Or even some shorts!]

But they kind of have to deal with clothes, don't they?

[regression]

[ His cooking is better!! ]

Being able to choose your wardrobe is a show of some control over your life.

[ In the smallest sense, he thinks. ]

Aside from the fashion show, what makes you think that?

[ Tell him the conspiracy theory. ]
