WEEKEND 7 LOG ♬
Weather: Clear skies all weekend

It’s finally the weekend!

You’ve all been working hard to make sure today is a success. Tom Nook has delivered your fliers, and word has been spread about your island. Maybe your goal is less obvious, or at least, has been less advertised to people outside of beautiful Isla Sonrisa, but it’s that sort of expectation that hangs in the air like the excitement that’s nearly palpable. One thing’s for certain: Hopefully, KK Slider will have taken note of your sunny little island. And by the way the seaplane keeps on coming and going throughout the day, unloading other animal-like passengers, there’s no doubt that others from this world have noticed, too.

The sisters have placed the designs that were submitted for the contest outside their shop. It’s a good thing you have so many creative people inhabiting an island! Tom Nook is also handing out brochures with answers from the island’s residents for people to learn more about its inhabitants. If KK Slider is to be welcomed here, it’s best he knows for sure that he’s come to the right place. For those who are less familiar with KK’s stylings, Tom Nook has set up a display of KK’s singles and CDs. It’s hard to not notice the white dog with floppy ears and soulful eyes on some of the covers and posters.

Wandering around are Audie and Raymond -- among other animals, of course -- who are dressed in their best duds; as inhabitants of this world, they’re pretty darn jazzed about the prospect of KK Slider arriving. Even Tom Nook has broken out his best, most fashionable bowtie. Blathers, too, and he’s taken it upon himself to bring some fish- and dinosaur-themed refreshments. The museum is closed, but (Who knew an owl could bake such delicious treats?) Blathers has a little booth setup outside of the museum with pamphlets and everything you've submitted (oocly highlighted) on display outdoors.

There is another certain someone wandering around who looks a little too worried for this event, though. It's Snake, and he seems somewhat troubled. If he sees you, he's not shy about approaching and asking you if you've seen his belongings.

"Yeah, it's kind of a terrible predicament! I don't know where they went, but I lost them all on the beach! I hope they didn't run away... those running shoes are pretty amazing, after all! You'll know they're mine if you find them, they've got my name written on 'em. I'd look for 'em myself, but you know, I just got done with a KILLER set of reps to make sure my abs and biceps are in tip-top shape for the event, bunyip. I'll be around here, so just come find me if you find my precious things!"

As for the entertainment area... You’ve all been working hard to set it up. It’s hard to miss the sort of passion that almost seems to radiate from the areas the otherworlders have put so much effort into. After all, this is what will hopefully draw KK Slider to your island, to not only perform, but to hear your own performances. Tom Nook might be passionate about making sure this island thrives and becomes a home to many people, but those who have been brought here… well, perhaps their passion outshines even Tom Nook’s. And for those of you who need to take some time to relax, the library and pool are some good options, too.


Should you choose to check the entertainment area in the middle of the day, there sure is a white dog with floppy ears and soulful eyes playing the guitar and singing a cute melody.


Lastly, Gulliver can be found sitting on the beach, taking a breather. But when he's approached he'll come on over--it seems he's just remembered something important!

"Hey there, friend! Were you able to find my communicator parts? Hopefully they didn't go and hop into the water, that would be inconvenient for us all! Especially since I've got something that might help you all get back home that I can send over once I get my watery situation all figured out!"

--

Sunday rolls around. Maybe you're still working on cleanup or relaxing after a long day. KK Slider is sitting in the Resident Services area now, sitting on a stool. There are other stools set up for people to sit around and listen.

He'll take requests based on your mood and genre. He's got a wide variety of tunes to play, so don't be shy!



(OOC: Welcome to your Weekend 7 log! We're going to try things a little differently this time: If you'd like an NPC interaction, ping us and let us know which NPC you're looking for. In terms of the visitors, they're all other villagers from Animal Crossing! Feel free to NPC those guys in your threads on your own!)

SATURDAY

[vellamods]

[sugooooooooi]

[A party is a perfect time for a yard sard in the morning! Serval will be selling or trading anything in Can Trade outside her house. The Anatomical Model in particular has a note attached to it, reading, "take it ples im scard."

Scared or not, though, she'll be going up to Snake with his lost barbell and Gulliver with his machine part, and then going to hang around the museum to look at fish and eat cookies before listening to K.K. in the Entertainment District. What a fun afternoon!

In the evening, Serval climbs up into a tree and looks at the sky. She'll wave down and talk to whoever comes by, still holding that stuffed panda toy Dokja gave her weeks ago.]

[vellamods]

[ Snake's pretty pleased to get that barbell back! ]

Wow, thanks, Serval! This is my favorite barbell, I've really been missing it!

[sugooooooooi]

You're welcome! How come all your stuff went missing? Did it wash away?

[vellamods]

Well, I was doing some really intense workouts to make sure I can REALLY impress our visitors... and I guess I just misplaced them on the beach! That sand is no joke!

[vellamods]

[ As for Gulliver, he's also looking relieved. ]

Thank you! I was worried I'd have to start swimming back to find my crew... But hey, looks like I won't have to do that now! Probably. My sour sea grapes are a little less sour!

[sugooooooooi]

That's good! I hope you find them soon. I bet your friends are worried.

[vellamods]

I'd hope so! No crew is complete without me, Gulliver! Even if you all look a little different from most folks I've seen, you're all not so bad!

[pinkmacaron]

[Sonico stares at the model, then at the note, and then decides to talk to Serval about it. She's gonna take it, even if it's scary.]

I can take the anatomical model from you!

[sugooooooooi]

Really? Okay! That's the creepy body thing, right?

[pinkmacaron]

Yeah! It's bothering you, right? So I can keep it!

[pinkmacaron]

[Sonico is ready for a party! She even put up her hair up in a ponytail for the occasion. She has her swimsuit and goes to the Pool for a relaxing swim, then back home to shower and change. Her hair still looks fabulous of course!

Later on, after lunch, Sonico is content to walk around, getting herself some cookies, and a drink, before going listen to K. K. Slider's music. He's a great musician! What a beautiful melody!

When the evening closes by, she trips over a jersey and when she looks at it, she realizes it belongs to Snake, and so starts the "find Snake" game! When she does, she hands him his item and talks to him.

At night, Sonico will be Sitting by the beach, watching the stars, and will welcome anyone joining her!]

[vellamods]

[ Oh, hey, Sonico! Snake is very glad to have this back! ]

Whoa, you found my jersey!! My LUCKY jersey, even! With this, I think I can get ALL my things back!

[pinkmacaron]

[Sonico smiles, she's so happy for Snake!]

I hope you can! Did you lose a lot??

[spiritoso]

[ In the morning, Kaede can be found at the booth looking at everything that's displayed outside the museum and flipping through the pamphlets.

Later, she goes to grab some of the refreshments, her eyes immediately on the baked goods. She picks up a cookie decorated like a fossil. ]

This is so cute!

[ Later in the afternoon, Kaede heads over to the entertainment area to listen to KK Slider play. She waves over anyone who comes by so they can sit next to her. ]

booth

[sugooooooooi]

Isn't this great? Blathers-san works really hard on the museum!

[spiritoso]

He does! It's really nice seeing his passion for his work. It's inspiring, really.

Music!

[jokersonyou]

[Live music is something that Ren definitely enjoys. Back home, going to the jazz club was always the best during nights when the singer was performing. And here, he was always grateful when Kaede came by Leblanc II to play the piano. So a dog playing the guitar? Yeah, he's in.

He spots Kaede waving to him, and smiles as he heads over, taking a seat next to him.]

So, what's the verdict as a musician?

[spiritoso]

[ She smiles. ]

He's really great! I think his stage presence is really amazing and he can play so many different kinds of songs! I can totally see why he's so popular.

SUNDAY

[vellamods]

[regression]

open

[ With everything going as planned and Gulliver even mentioning they may have a way home, a break seems like a good idea. Joonghyuk has decided to give K.K. Slider a chance with the music bit, though he's noticed a good portion of natives is sitting around him, leaving few chairs empty. He takes a seat and Slider begins his song—it is K.K. Metal.

Things are going well until the tongue twister part hits and somehow all the natives can do it. Joonghyuk is left in confusion as this demonic chant goes without a breath. They expect the same from him, but when he doesn't follow, they pause and ask? Do you not know the lyrics? ]

I didn't understand anything they said.

[ It was extremely fast? Someone?? Help him understand this demon summoning? Even if Slider says it's cool, now he wants to show them he can do this, too. ]

closed to dokja

[ Joonghyuk isn't too sure if he should believe the seagull about the solution, but just the thought is enough for him to ask Dokja what he had always wanted to do... If there was a wish he can grant here before they head home, then he would like to at least make that a memory for the other man to hold when they return. When Dokja will have to wait days, weeks, possibly years for them, he would at least have more memories to hold onto.

So there's a spot prepared at the top of the cliffs, blanket sprawled with two sleeping bags in case they get cold and a picnic basket filled with dinner goodies. The space is lit with a dim lamp, not that they need it with the clear skies showing glistening stars.

He's basically waiting by the ledge in his tracksuit, scouting for a familiar idiot. ]

WILDCARD

[conceptualize]

[ Laurent has been pretty busy these days doing... things, often in his house though he still does go outside every now and then, but less than before. It occurred to him that people can get worried about him not being outside, so he made sure to keep that in mind.

But he decided to drop by the house for a visit. He needs a break.

He knocks to the rhythm of twinkle twinkle little star on the door. ]

[regression]

[ Good. Joonghyuk is no longer that confused dog over a certain thing being gone in his routine. Laurent gets no visits from him over his well-being now. However, it doesn't seem like Joonghyuk is free of him...

In a minute, he opens the door. ]

What do you want?

[ Yeah. ]

[afterword]

[ Well, the good thing about being able to fly now is he doesn't need to use the ladder and vaulting pole. Which is how he arrives precisely. He drops down from the cover of the dark sky and gleaming stars, wings flared out with quick smaller flaps before folding into his back. And just like that they disappear along with the two horns atop his head.

He's already nearing the amount of energy he's put into his abilities today so he'll refrain from using anything else. Dokja is right beside his partner in no time, wearing a cozy turtleneck sweater tonight as the night gets colder with the rest being comfortable clothes. ]

You really went all out, huh Joonghyuk-ah?

[ Despite the tease, there's underlying affection, admiring the set up with keen eyes. ]

[regression]

[ Sometimes Joonghyuk's practical mind wonders how those wings just sprawl from Dokja's back, past fabric... Even in this island, they seem to manifest like magic was always part of this world. Joonghyuk doesn't bat an eyelash, but he does roll his eyes when the other man arrives in a superfluous way. Any person would wonder if an angel or a devil appeared before them, but he knows better.

Annoying. Kim Dokja wants to be an idol. He lets out a huff, even though his tail slightly wags from the praise. ]

I didn't want any of our groceries to expire.

[ His usual response, dodging and obscuring the truth that he did put a lot into it. This time, no tomatoes. Without saying more, he goes to take a seat on the blanket. It's kind of like his birthday? ]
