Weekend 4


WEEKEND 4 LOG
Weather: Saturday and Sunday AM - Clear skies, PM - slightly rainy


Friday night (or whenever characters fall asleep come Saturday morning), everyone on the island will be met with a mysterious dream. It’s a dream that some may find unsettling whereas others may see it as a relief -- overall though, the dream is extremely bizarre.

Everyone on the island will dream about their own worlds as they were just before they touched that mysterious floating ticket. The people, the environment -- all is still, unmoving and untouched. Everything is just as you remembered it before you arrived here, and if you choose to walk amongst the people and the places you knew...no one will move. Nothing will react.

Except one thing, and that’s a shooting star that catches your eye from up above. It makes its way across the sky, even if it’s daylight in your dream, and as soon as it fades from your vision...you wake up.

How odd.

The rest of Saturday proceeds as normal, though one will notice that on the opposite side of the island (to the southwest of the map) is a blocked off area, near the peach trees that have been planted. There’s a sign from Nook Inc on the property that reads, Reserved for Able Sisters. Interesting...wonder what’s in store for you there?

--

Sunday rolls around with something a little more pleasant. There’s a bridge on the lower part of the island that you can use to get across to the other side of the island. On the other side is a quaint little building called “ABLE SISTERS”. In the display window is a green dress and a pair of white mary janes; from the outside you can hear the distinct sound of a sewing machine at work.

When you walk in, Mabel is there to greet you, bright and peppy as always. There are various different outfits out for display, but if you ask Mabel, their selection is limitless. The way the process works, she explains, is that you can look through the catalogs of clothing available (minus seasonal items), sorted by item type, and place in an order for any of the items. The clothing will arrive in your mailbox the following day.

There is also a dressing room for you to try on any clothes that are currently on display. (For OOC purposes, if there is an item you really want, feel free to assume it's on display at any given time.)

Other than Mabel, however, is Sable, busy at work in the back and doesn’t even look up from her work. And in the lower left hand corner is...someone who isn’t a hedgehog.

Rather...you’ve got yourselves a cat on your hands. He's busy at work, but you might happen to catch him looking at you as you explore the shop.

[Sitting down to have tea with someone is familiar... it's nice. Byleth's already in a better mood, honestly.]

I do on occasion. One of my students likes baking and we've done so together a few times.

[Hopefully the tea doesn't disappoint!!]

Yeah? What kind of stuff do you usually make?

[Tell her more!! She's genuinely curious... Everyone here seems to have such interesting lives.]

[To be honest, Byleth's not exactly a tea snob, so she's pretty happy with it.]

Cookies, pastries... Cake, occasionally.

[She hasn't tried to replicate Nirvana Cake while she's been here, but she hasn't found a sufficient substitution for one of the ingredients involved.]

I've been working on trying to replicate some sweet buns they serve in the dining hall, too.

So all the staples.

[Excellent, things are gonna be just fine.

She adds sugar to her tea, before taking a cautious sip so she doesn't burn herself.]


Yeah? Wanna try giving them a shot today?

I'd like to branch out at some point, I think...

[Something savory'd go over better with Felix, she thinks.]

But yes, that sounds like fun.

Trying new things is never bad!

[Well, sometimes it's bad, but... Baking is good! So it's good to bake new recipes.]

What are they like, exactly? What are we shooting for?
