intro log
Whether you were in the middle of battle, on a grand adventure, or simply relaxing somewhere comfortable doesn’t matter. Whatever it was you were doing is suddenly interrupted by time suddenly going still. Everything around you freezes. The rest of the world seems to come to a standstill. The only thing that appears to be in motion is you -- though any temptation to try and figure out what’s going on is suddenly interrupted by the presence of something...small. Something light, like a piece of paper, floating down right in front of you.
A closer inspection reveals that this mysterious piece of paper is actually a ticket of some kind. You can’t quite decipher what it says, but judging by the layout of the text and the clear image of an airplane on it, you can tell that this is a travel ticket.
Not that you have much time to inspect it anyway, because when you reach out and touch it, the world suddenly starts to warp.
- Arrival
You blink, and the next thing you know, you’re falling. You aren’t falling quite as gracefully as that strange ticket was; no, you’re descending very rapidly towards the ground. You can make out that your body is...glowing...a bright shade of yellow, and the ground can either mean the sand on the beach or the ocean itself. Regardless of where you land, the impact is not painful. You can feel the thud or the splash depending on where you end up, but it doesn’t hurt whatsoever.
Those in the water are not far away from shore at all. A quick swim will get you to land! For those of you who can’t swim, well, you may want to consider calling for help, given that you aren’t alone. The glowing seems to have stopped, but you can clearly make out the figures of other people nearby under the moonlight.
The land above the sand is thick with grass and overgrown weeds. There are some bugs here and there (namely tiger beetles) that skitter about, but unless you’re willing to use your bare hands, you don’t have anything to catch them with. For a light source, you can try to make a fire on your own using some twigs lying about from the trees, both apple trees and non-fruit-bearing trees alike, if you wish. Nobody’s stopping you.
There are also assorted tents throughout this part of the island. Each tent has a number on it and a little mailbox to accompany it, and there are eleven total. There’s nothing inside, when you go in, however.
The only other notable thing here is that smack down in the middle of the area you’re in seems to be some kind of man made area. There’s a large rectangle of dirt, and sitting on top of that dirt are three things: A wooden bulletin board with nothing on it, a large green tent with a leaf-like emblem above the opening, and a tall speaker next to the tent. Seems like someone’s been here before. If you step inside of the tent, nobody’s there. It’s completely empty inside, too. Below that tent are two large red tents, one with a "Women's" sign over it and one with a "Men's" sign. There are so many tents.
The airport to the south is locked, and try as you might, the seaplane docked behind it will not start up.
But before you venture too far out, you might want to gather your bearings first and chat with those who’ve been brought here with you. Maybe try to figure out a way to survive the night...assuming help isn’t already on the way.
And maybe some of you might need the help, considering you might not be like how you were before…
The Nook
Some time passes into the night. You’ve met some of the others, maybe did a little bit of exploring and set-up; but moments later, there’s suddenly a little seaplane up ahead. You can hear the plane from wherever you are, and it starts to descend near the airport. It descends rather quickly; you can’t quite see who’s operating the plane, but the passenger door opens.
If you happen to be near the airport, raccoon-like figure emerges from the plane and looks at you expectantly. He’s wearing a white collared shirt with a turquoise leaf-like pattern on it; he also has some khaki shorts on. Finally, he’s got the same emblem on his shirt that the sign above the entrance to the large green tent had. He smiles and it reaches his eyes.
“Ah! You’re all here already, hm? Yes, yes, it’s nice to see you here.” He walks towards the rectangle of dirt, and from his pocket he produces a microphone. Then, he speaks into it, and his voice echoes through the speakers: “Please report to Resident Services near the airport. Thank you.”
Whoever does decide to gather around will be met with an introduction from the tanuki: “Let’s see… First things first, welcome, everyone, to your new island! My name is Tom Nook, founder and president of Nook Inc. This is our first ever Deserted Island Getaway Package experience, so please bear with us while we make adjustments to our program as needed. Now... Today is your first official day -- er, evening on the island. Nook Inc. will always be available to ensure your comfort and safety.”
He then goes on to do roll call. This may take a while, but at least you’ll start learning the names of the other people you’re here with!
“Moving on, I have some camping supplies for each of you that I’ll be delivering to your tents tonight. I do have some assignments for each of you, you see, to ensure that there aren’t some people who are without a place to sleep in…”
Tom Nook then proceeds to read out the tent assignments. Yes, you all have those now, apparently. Hope you get along with your new roommates!
“There will be more announcements for you tomorrow, after you all get a good night’s rest. Yes, yes! Please get to know each other, and I will see all of you at nine AM tomorrow morning.”
A pause, then: “Ah-! Before I get to distributing the supplies, if there are any questions that I can answer now, go ahead and ask them.”
Should you not have any questions, you're free to turn in for the night. Get to know your roommates, arrange your camping supplies when they're delivered to you, and enjoy the sweet tunes on the radio. Or...you can get up to mischief outdoors, too. Nobody's stopping you! This is your island now and you get to do whatever you want.
Isn't that swell?

What the hell. Ugh, whatever. Once she gets out, she slips off her jacket and wrings it out. Then her shoes and socks... This is actually the worst? She doesn't notice the ears that've suddenly sprouted on top of her head, too. But regardless, she turns to whoever's nearby and-- jumps a bit?
At least she recovers quickly. ]
... Are you as confused as I am?
[ Later on, she's-- look. She's hungry. Can you blame a girl? She's staring up at one of the apple trees, and she's a little too tired to climb a tree so like. Obviously the answer here is to try to jump and reach an apple. Unfortunately, her legs are just... too short... ah, she really is a corgi. She sure looks frustrated.
And later still, she'll go to her tent. Sup, roommates? ]
Oh-- hi. I think we're roommates, right? I'm Mira.
tents
Putting aside the weirdness of the whole situation, this island wasn't the absolute worst thing ever. And getting to room with a pretty girl (that also happens to be part corgi...) has definitely been one of the positives of this place. Lucky!! He greets her with a bright smile and wave. ]
It's nice you meet you Mira! Ny name's Kiyosumi Sengoku and I have to say, it's quite the honor to be able to room with a beautiful girl.
no subject
[ Ah, compliments.... her weakness... She definitely turns a little pink, and she clears her throat. ]
I-I'll try not to be too much trouble. I'm usually not used to sharing a room with someone, so...
no subject
You won't be of any trouble at all, I can guarantee it! [ If anything this tent needs a big sister, probably. ] Is this your first time having roommates?
[ Having been to many training camps in his life, he's used to sharing rooms with others. But this is the first time he's ever shared with a girl. ]
no subject
[ She still seems a little unsure... but surely it will be fine!! She'll be the big sister they need, it's true. ]
Ah, it's not the first time, but during my travels my friend and I usually have separate spaces.

She seems hungry, so he holds out one for her. ]

She hesitates before reaching out. ]
Are you sure?
no subject
If you don't want it, I'm going to eat it.
[ So take it. ]

[Sonico is trying to wring out her hair, it's so wet!]
Do you, by any chance, know how to start a fire? It'd help to dry our clothes!
no subject
[ That's a big mood, Sonico. It's very inconvenient! ]
We'll need to gather some sticks, first.

[Her shirt and skirt are so wet, but they can get dry soon!]

Perhaps...? Did you get some water in your ears?
[ He saw how she fell into the water. ]
no subject
[ She kind of presses her fingers gently to her (human) ears before shaking her head. She seems a little wary, but probably she can't be blamed for that... ]
I don't think so, luckily... I think I'm just a bit rattled.
no subject
[ How does he say this.
You know what, he'll just mimic dog ears with his hands instead. ]

Apple of my eye
[ Kairi smiles at Mira before climbing up the tree. It seems to come naturally to her and it isn't long before she has a few in her arms. ] Catch! [ She's careful to drop one down to Mira ]
no subject
[ There she goes...! Mira's a little startled once Kairi drops the apple. ]
Thank you. [ She sounds a bit sheepish, actually. ] You didn't have to go to all that trouble, though.
no subject
It's no problem; I climb trees all the time. [ She looks at the apple. ] Though usually I'd getting coconuts or paopu fruit.

nearby;
[ Here's one pint-sized purple hair young boy with a unicorn horn in the center of his head looking annoyed and mildly inconvenienced. ]
I don't understand how we were able to get kidnapped and brought here that easily. We should be on our guard, just in case.
no subject
At... the very least, things seem to be calm right now, but it's not a bad idea to stay alert.
arrival
I'm sorry, darling! I didn't mean to startle you.
[He was about to gently tap on her shoulder, though. But hey, at least he doesn't have to now.]
I wish I could say I wasn't, but I am. I'm guessing this isn't your idea of a spontaneous vacation either?
no subject
[ She clears her throat, though, and shakes her head. ]
Far from it, considering I have important things to do... N-nevermind. Mostly, I've never seen a place like this before, have you?
no subject
Hmmm. Well, it's not too unlike the shores of my homeland, but it's definitely a lot more overgrown. It looks pretty much untamed!

TE NT!
Except when Mira comes in-] Oh- ...Um, I guess so... I'm Emporio, [the very audibly young boy introduces back.] And...I guess so?
...I've never had a sleeping cot... [he mutters conversationally, sitting on his own.]
no subject
She gives him a little smile. She's still keyed up and nervous, but she does an okay job of hiding it. ]
It's nice to meet you, [ she says with a nod. And then-- ]
Really? They're not the most comfortable, but... they're better than sleeping on the ground. [ She takes a seat on her own. ] Have you ever been camping before, Emporio?
no subject
...But...I've never been camping, so I guess I wouldn't know the best way to do it, you're right, [he admits with a shrug.] I don't think it'd be very healthy on the ground either way- I don't know how good this tent will be to keep out the weather and bugs...
