Weekend 3
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!)

[ It's like that for a lot of them, which is why he doesn't mind saying it. ]
I'm not good when it comes to relaxing so it's been an experience at least. [ But, looking at everyone else. ] At least there's quite a few things to do to keep us busy here.
no subject
Exactly! I like that there's a lot for us to do.
[ Which isn't something she would have thought she could appreciate, but now she's glad for it. ]
I also like seeing everyone's ideas, and the different projects they have.
no subject
Have you had any projects here? [ He thinks of the garden his own companion made. ]
no subject
Not yet. I'm hoping to help out with a couple, though. Amamiya-kun is working on his cafe and Sylvando is thinking about setting up a theater. Since I'll be using both, I feel like I should at least help.
no subject
I haven't started anything myself. But, my companion has started the garden that he's opened up to everyone else. It's interesting to see what other vegetables people want to add to it.
no subject
no subject
With all these food sources, and a cafe and theater in the works.. Things will probably be very busy from now on.
no subject
[ For the better, she thinks. ]
It sounds like your companion has been really busy, though. Does he like gardening?
no subject
Hm? Not exactly. He's the practical sorts. His line of thinking was something like, "Better be prepared for the worst case scenario on the chance we don't get anymore food deliveries, so let's plant vegetables." [ It's smart, really. ]
no subject
Sounds like it. It's a good thing we have someone like that here.
[ As nice as it is here, they do need to plan for worst case scenarios. ]
Do you help out with the garden?
no subject
[ The woes of a world heading to ruin. ]
I do. I don't touch the tomatoes though. Not really a fan. [ Yeah... picky. ]
no subject
The world you're from is ending? I guess that would make you better at survival...
no subject
[ It's.. a pretty dark subject at a party, oops. He looks sheepish as he remembers their surroundings. ] But, we managed to stop it from heading to complete ruin. We can start working to rebuilding our world. Would have started, but we got brought here.
no subject
[ And even though it is a dark subject for a party, she can't help but frown, looking at him sympathetically. ]
I'm sorry you had to go through that though. Having to survive for someone else's entertainment... it's probably one of the worst feelings.
no subject
..It's sounds like something from a story, doesn't it? We managed to survive though and we reached the conclusion I wished for us. So, I'm happy. [ He smiles over to her, turning the topic over. ] What was your world like?
no subject
[ She's always glad to hear about those. ]
Hmm... I guess it was pretty normal, compared to everyone else here. [ Kaede pauses. Normally she wouldn't bring it up at a party, but he did tell her that his world was ending, so... ] But it was kind of similar to yours, because I was in a group that was told to kill each other for someone's entertainment.
no subject
[ But he doesn't go into too much details, focusing on her own story. He does look intrigued at the mention.. he hasn't met anyone that came from a world that involved killing for someone's entertainment. ]
Something like that isn't easy. Coming here away from that.. [ It's something of a huge relief. If he didn't know how to deal with the world he came from, if he had been unprepared by it all, he certainly would see this world as a safe haven from such a life. ]
no subject
[ Scared that Tom Nook would turn out to be like Monokuma. ]
But... I'm glad I ended up here, honestly.
no subject
Ideally, if there was a way to stay here even after a way back home is sorted out it would work out for you. [ But. ] Chances are, you may have friends back home.
[ Now, he does not know Kaede very well, but.. something tells him she may not the type of person to abandon any of her friends. Of course, there's also a part of him that knows throughout all of his life he has learned not to be that naive. However, at the very least she's probably come to a decision. ]
no subject
[ Kaede smiles, nodding just a little. ]
I do. I miss them a lot, actually.
[ Maybe everything will work out, but she's still scared. ]
I guess you plan on going back home? You have a lot of work to do.
no subject
If only there was a way to figure out how to bring more people from the same world over.
[ Like how Joonghyuk and Dokja both arrived from the same place. ]
I do. Someone has to make sure the world continues on safely, after all.
no subject
I'll be rooting for you! I would offer to help, but I don't know if we'll even be able to visit everyone when we're able to go back home.
no subject
[ He looks back to the rest of the party as more people join in. ] I hope whatever you decide to do is a decision you can be happy with.
