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!)

[conceptualize]

Like what?

[ He's curious... tell him all about it, mister protag.

He stops eating the gels though, and puts the jar away into his pocket. ]

[regression]

[ ... He actually doesn't want to tell Laurent, but whatever. Not like it matters? ]

I practice swordmanship that is better suited for women...

[ Does he even need to say more. ]

[conceptualize]

[ Laurent stares at Joonghyuk, looks down, and then back up at his face. Maybe it's a good thing he put the jar away because he might have dropped it. ]

Why? Did you want the handicap for some reason...?

[regression]

[ Yes, maybe it's best to put that jar away. Good boy. Joonghyuk crosses his arms as his eyes shift elsewhere. ]

... I did not keep the handicap.

[ No, Laurent. Don't make him say it aloud. ]

[conceptualize]

[ ?????????

Laurent stares at him some more, not quite understanding something. He's pretty sure Joonghyuk is a dude. Perhaps he went through transition before? But he still practices it...? Perhaps his sense of reason and logic is stuck in "normal", since he doesn't consider sex swapping magic to be a thing.

He makes an obvious confused face at him. ]

[regression]

[ Joonghyuk waits in the silence, observing Laurent's expression and sees... Wholeheartedly.

Laurent cannot figure it out— ]

I can turn into a woman.

[conceptualize]

Is that a willing transformation?

[ Since he figures... it could be a curse or whatever. ]

[regression]

... I wouldn't be able to use the sword art efficiently unless I was a woman for some time.

[ No, not a curse. ]

[conceptualize]

That's quite a condition you have... the power must be worth it for you to go through that.

[ It's like some kind of body horror like their animal ears and tails, but he'll... choose not to bring that up. ]

You really do have all sorts of powers, huh? Do you think you have a "most useless" one?

[regression]

All my skills serve a purpose. Kim Dokja would be the one to ask if you want to hear about useless skills.

[ And it should be obvious that it's all survival. Joonghyuk walks over to the kitchen area. He returns back with a cup of water.

Here you go. ]

[conceptualize]

I think a mental wall skill is a pretty useful skill to have.

[ He doesn't know the extent, but he takes the cup of water anyway. ]

Thanks. At times, I used to wish to have some powers for mundane utilities, but I think I liked being normal more.

[regression]

... He also bought an ability to keep the air around his moist, giving him a dewy complexion at all times.

[ He might as well through Dokja under the bus so Laurent can stop thinking the man is proper and efficient. Dokja is effective and not much more— ]

You can demonstrate your powers now.

[ He wants to see. ]

[conceptualize]

Alright.

[ Laurent looks around the house. What's a good thing to end... he looks at Joonghyuk up and down. ]

Are you feeling tired? Sore anywhere?

[regression]

[ Joonghyuk blinks slowly and carefully thinks this question over. ]

Nothing more than the usual.

[conceptualize]

So when you say it's the usual, you're allowing me to assume that you do feel sore somewhere, but it's not as detrimental to your health because you're used to it.

[ Just let him know if there is one, you doofus. ]

[regression]

... When you've lived for years, tired is a normal feeling.

[ So no, not sore. ]

[conceptualize]

[ Laurent chuckles a little at that. ]

I don't need to live as long as you to know that.

[ Let him reach his hand out to Joonghyuk's forehead to give a slight forehead poke. If successful, any sort of fatigue will be permanently gone. ]

[regression]

[ He notices it, though it doesn't take too long for his mind to go turbo. His frown seems deeper as the dislike is evident. However, how would people know if he doesn't say it— ]

I didn't like that.

[conceptualize]

Yeah, it's written all over your face.

[ He withdraws his hand. ]

But you wanted to see a demonstration, and that's how it is.

[ A hollow space where something used to be. Something had definitely ended there. ]

[regression]

Is it even permanent?

[ He wonders how it works, considering he will have to fight these Concept things eventually. ]

[conceptualize]

I can choose to undo what I just did, since it's relatively on a smaller scale. But I can also leave it alone, making it the effect permanent. If I was stronger, I can prevent a bigger end from not occurring at all.

[ He thinks about it for a moment. ]

Though, me being away from my home world causes nothing to end back there, but that's out of my control, since I'm all the way here and I don't have enough power.

[ He still concept baby. ]

[regression]

That's annoying.

[ An inconvenience for Joonghyuk, but he doesn't seem too worried. He should have time to figure out some way to make things work when they visit Laurent... There's always a way.

At least the mental wear is gone for however long? That's nice. Kind of. He's feeling conflicted about it. ]

... There's not much to do here.

[ Like in his house. Why did you come to visit?? ]

[conceptualize]

Would it be too farfetched to say that I just wanted to see you?

[ Joonghyuk... please level your social skills instead of the combat ones. ]

[regression]

[ Social skills are useless. He just needs to charm them with his face and promise to lead them to victory. ]

Do you consider me a friend?

[conceptualize]

You don't remember me telling you? I'm hurt.

[ He's not hurt, and it's obvious it's in jest, but he did tell him before. Though, this shouldn't have been surprising, considering what kind of people they are: a smiley smiler you can't easily seem to trust and a paranoid parrot. ]
