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!)

[ Mm... He goes back through the cards he'd overlooked, and pulls out the six of hearts. ]

Ah... further away now.

[ Maybe she should give a hint. ]

You had the right type earlier.

[ He looks at the cards he'd already pulled out and goes over the verdicts in his mind.

10 of clubs is no good.
6 of diamonds is very close.
7 of diamonds is not as close.
6 of hearts is even worse.

He takes his time to find and pull out five cards, laying them all out in a row: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of diamonds. ]


It's one of these?

[ Kaede nods, excited. ]

Yup! It's right in that row! Now you're super close.

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-20 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ 20% chance of getting it right on the first guess...

He starts from the left and hovers his hand over 1 of diamonds, quickly glancing up at Kaede without touching it. ]

[ Kaede makes no move to indicate he's right, and even frowns a little.

He's so close... He can do it. ]
compendiem: (028)

[personal profile] compendiem 2020-07-20 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ The frown is what he was looking for, and his hand inches slowly over to the right, hovering over 2 of diamonds. ]
spiritoso: (62)

[personal profile] spiritoso 2020-07-20 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
You got it!

[ She leans forward excitedly. ]

[ SHE SAYS THIS BEFORE HE EVEN PICKS IT UP

But he just grins, picking up the card with a little flourish of the wrist, holding it up triumphantly. ]


And there we go. It's the magic... of teamwork.
spiritoso: (63)

[personal profile] spiritoso 2020-07-21 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ She can't help it, as she's so happy to see him get it right.

Kaede laughs. ]


It is! Magic tricks are fun but I think I like that a little more.
