Weekend 7
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!)
no subject
[Though they don't know how much longer they'll be here. Which brings up something important. ]
Ah... Kaede? There was something I wanted to ask you.
no subject
[ It's really nice to see, too. They've made so much progress.
Kaede looks at him expectantly, her eyebrows raised in a bit of surprise. ]
What is it?
no subject
Especially when he's hoping for a particular answer.]
I was...talking to Tom Nook. About how we got here, and the wishes, and going back home, and... Well, first, I asked if it was possible for me to go back to your world but a little in the past so I could stop what happened. He seemed to doubt that, the time traveling bit, so I asked instead if just going back to someone else's world was possible. And he seems pretty confident that it is.
What I'm trying to ask, is, ah... With what happened to you, going back to your world would... So instead, would you like to try coming with me back to mine? I know it's leaving behind everything and everyone you knew, but it's the best way I can think to save you. That way, I can protect you.
no subject
It is disappointing that time travel won't really be possible, but Kaede had tried not to get her hopes up about it. At least she had entrusted everyone to Shuichi, who she knows is more than capable of finding the mastermind.
Being able to go to someone else's world is another thing she didn't get her hopes up about either, so when he says that Tom Nook thinks it's possible, Kaede looks over to him in surprise. ]
I... I do want to try going back with you.
[ She smiles at him. It feels weird making a decision this big, knowing that she'll be leaving everything behind. But... there's nothing back in her world anymore, and there's nothing she can do about it. This is a chance to move forward. ]
no subject
Great. Awesome. Mega awesome. There's a spare room at my house back home, which I was on my way to. I'll think of a good excuse to give my parents. And I've managed somehow to get a whole lot of different connections in the last year, so we can figure out how to get you properly settled in a new world, and...
Right. One thing at a time.
no subject
We'll get it all figured out! Thanks for doing all of this for me, by the way. You're the best, Ren.
no subject
(Not like they'd really care, as it is.)
He smiles sheepishly at Kaede, ducking his head a little.]
I'm just doing the right thing to do. But...you're welcome. Things're going to be just fine.
no subject
[ But she's not sure what she would do, what would convey how much this means to her. ]
I guess I could play piano for you, but I've already done that! It wouldn't really be special.
