WEEKEND 5 LOG ♬
Weather: Clear skies all weekend

On Saturday, there’s nothing new or unusual. It seems like the wish granting has been put on hold, and your efforts can continue to go towards progressing the island more. With the museum, Able Sisters, the entertainment area, the garden and more, the amount of development Isle Sonrisa has gone through is crystal clear when you compare it to your first week here.

All seems to be normal. That is, until you decide to fall asleep.

Whenever you begin to dream, your dreams are very vivid and reminiscent of the time you all dreamt about your homes. This time, however, you see your fellow islanders around you. Everyone may look confused, trying to figure out where they are. And that’s entirely fair, because where you are now is a little different from the island you’re used to.

That power you felt earlier in the week feels strong, too. It feels natural. And when you channel your energy…

Those of you who had powers originally will feel them start to manifest. Every ability you had is coming back. They seem a little...dampened, though, like they aren’t the full extent of what you could do before. Those who did not have abilities before will start to feel in tune with whatever’s on their person, whether it be a shovel, a bug net, even a stack of apples… You’ll be able to use them in ways you couldn’t have before.

And maybe you’ll learn how to use that new ability soon, because someone is waiting on top of one of the ledges, staring down at all of you. And he is staring very, very intensely at you. A moment passes, and then he hops down...and swings his net at the nearest person.

Strangely, if the target is you, it doesn’t hurt. You feel the boink land, but it doesn’t hurt at all. Should you choose to retaliate, no matter what you do, the boy does not seem to be in pain either. Now’s the time to experiment with your newfound (or returning) abilities. Mess around with the environment, or go ham on one another! The strangest thing is that you will feel your energy draining the more you use your powers -- which is to be expected -- but the pain never really settles in.

Furthermore, there are no injuries or blood. In fact, every punch, every kick, every impact looks cartoonish!

The last notable thing is for Joonghyuk. If he looks up at the sky at any given moment, he’ll specifically see a shooting star fly across the sky. The wish to have strength is going a little haywire, but it’s certainly something, isn’t it?

As for Sunday, well… It’s worth mentioning that those abilities aren’t just a dream after all. In fact, you feel as though you can use them in real life, too, with the same effect -- the environment can be altered (for instance: super strength means you might be able to lift a tree with your bare hands, with some work) but there are no injuries or pain when you use them on others! … But the strange boy from that dream is nowhere to be found. Huh. Wonder what that was about...

[ He watches Serval's counterattack and follows up with his own--getting his shovel back out with an apple to hit it right at Villager. This is his regular projectile B move. ]

Serval, do you think you can spike him off the island if I send him flying?

'Kay!

[She aims to hit him off, but he rights himself and... plants a tree, why is he planting a tree, why did Serval take damage from having a tree planted in her vicinity. She doesn't seem perturbed, though, pouncing at him to retaliate.]

[ What the hell is that tree-- Laurent takes out a flimsy axe to cut it down while Serval keeps Villager busy. This takes too long, so Laurent resorts to something else: temporarily ending Villager's ability to perform any action. It only lasts 10 seconds at most, but it should be plenty in a fighting scenario. ]

Wow, you're good at this!

[Serval's eyes glow yellow again briefly, but enough for her to claw at Villager, racking up damage.]

Mya, mya, mya!

[ That percentage must be real high by now-- though Laurent doesn't quite understand the damage mechanic just yet, he gets armed with a shovel and gets ready to swing at Villager. ]

Get ready to spike soon, Serval--

[ And bam! Home run!! ]

[Hit she does, right into the sky. She claps.]

Wow! So wait, are we on the same team, or are we fighting each other too?

We're on the same team.

[ He doesn't want to go against Serval even if they're not on the same team anyway. It's fine, it's fine. ]

But that's pretty impressive strength you got there. It hasn't gotten dull from the peace on the island, has it?

I don't think so! It's usually peaceful at home, too. Ceruleans aren't there all the time.

I guess playing around like this is fine too.

[ To be able to upkeep that sort of strength despite the lulls of peace is pretty impressive. Though he can't help but imagine Serval training by sharpening her claws on cat trees, since he did see it.

Laurent is about to say something else as he sees Villager descending onto the top platform again. It looks like he's here with a vengeance with that blank look on his face. However, he ends up disappearing.

It's time for this guy to wake up... ]
