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!)

...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. ]

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

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

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
What?

[ That is very much NOT an answer he was expecting, and might've singed his wings if he weren't sitting in a terrible slouch forward. ]

You think I'm alright?

[ a shocker ]

[personal profile] transfusionem 2020-07-19 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah!

[Why is he so surprised by this...!!]

I'd even go so far as to call you a good kid.

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
That's nice of you to say but...

[ what is a polite way to say "I'm sorry, but you're disillusioned, miss" ]

You don't have to go that far... Or give me allowances just 'cause I'm a kid.

[He could say that, but Adelaide's response would basically boil down to "Fuck you, I'll think what I want."]

I don't have to, and I don't think I am. I mean, sure, you're...I don't know how much younger than me, but that doesn't mean you're just some idiot kid or whatever.

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-19 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ what if he just some idiot kid, though ]

I'm a hundred and seven.

[ ... ]

At heart.

[She would still be fond of him...

She has bad taste.]


Well, you look great for your age.

[...]

At heart.

Ha... Thanks. It's a combination of diet and rest. All heart happy things.

[ Carbs and sleep. Not necessarily a good diet, nor exercise outside of occasional spurts, but you can't argue with results. ]

I thought it was usually diet and exercise that was good for the heart.

[Still, he's not keeling over, so it's fine?]

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-21 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ He shakes his head; doctors are liars and that is false. ]

Strict diet and exercise makes a lot of people miserable... They might be better off doing what they want and being happy.
