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!)

[ Sort of. ]
Picture books sound like they would be hard for me to write about, but I bet I'd learn a lot of new things. I would totally take one of your classes.
no subject
Thanks. I know how tedious writing essays can be, and if anything, I try to have a goal for my class for my students to learn at least one new thing about themselves. There's high value in rereading some books. I wonder if it would be too hard for the students to try and remember what they thought of reading a children's book in the past. Rereading them would definitely give you a new perspective on it, wouldn't it?
no subject
[ Music has left the most impressions for her, but she's sure there are a few books too. ]
I wonder how different my perspective would be now.
no subject
[ Whether it be music, a similar experience, and whatnot. ]
Consider it as some sort of wisdom.
[ Though he can't take himself seriously when he says that, so he ends up laughing a little at himself. ]
no subject
[ She smiles as he laughs, but she does plan on taking that as some advice. ]
I think going back over things would be really good for me.
no subject
no subject
Thank you, Laurent. You really are kind.
[ Although she's said it before, her tone is softer now and more serious. ]
I like talking to you a lot.
no subject
[ He realized it before, but Sengoku's opinion on Kaede was very accurate. She's a nice girl and he wonders... hm... ]
Have you played the piano for him yet?
no subject
Oh, Sengoku-kun? Not yet! I've been thinking about playing Ravel's Sonatine Movement 1. I thought he would like something a little fast, but with a bit of peacefulness to it.
no subject
[ It's so... Sengoku. ]
You know him so well.
no subject
[ Minus hitting on girls, but Kaede does like to compliment them so who knows. ]
no subject
I think so. Both of you are bright people.
[ He'll be so sad when he finds out Sengoku is gone, leaving Kaede behind......... he also wondered if they would ever get together. ]
no subject
I like to think so. [ Although she wouldn't consider herself bright, not like a lot of the other people here.
When she finds out he's gone, she'll be sad too, and wondering what could have been. She would have at least considered him a best friend. ]
no subject
I hope you'll enjoy your cake, Kaede. I have to meet up with some others. I'll see you around?
no subject
[ She even gets another bite ready. ]
I hope you have fun for the rest of the night!
