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!

something that might help you all get back home

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!)

I do, but I didn't take you seriously.

[ Which Laurent should understand it's fair? Look at you... Mister Stepford Smiler. ]

[ It's honestly... very fair. Laurent knows that too, which is why despite saying so, he isn't hurt at all. This is exactly why. ]

Then, for this, I'd like it if you did.

[ Though he won't force Joonghyuk if he didn't. But.

It's Laurent. It's Joonghyuk. It's them. ]

[ ....... ]

I put the arcade game in my room.

[ This way. ]

[ Laurent thinks it's a little endearing when Joonghyuk is like this. If anything, despite everything he's told him before, Joonghyuk is, unfortunately, his type. But what he stated earlier is all true--including that he wasn't interested in him that way.

Laurent smiles, thinking about how funny that is, while following Joonghyuk. Laurent hopes Joonghyuk and Dokja live a good life with their kids. ]

So you really did set it up in your room. I'm touched.

[ They will live their best lives!! Joonghyuk takes the left side of the arcade machine, leaving the player 2 controls to Laurent. ]

It would be too out of place in the main room.

[ TIME TO FIGHT. ]

[ Laurent goes to stand on the other side with the Pkayer 2 controls are. Before giving it to Joonghyuk, he did play it several times in which he concluded that he absolutely sucks at arcade games. And hearing that Joonghyuk is a gamer... well... yeah, he's ready to get his ass handed to him.

He chooses to play anyway. It's an arcade fighting game but with no blood since this world is pretty PG. ]

Have you played with Dokja before?

[ Don't need blood to call out who's the winner. Joonghyuk chooses his fighter using the random feature, since he isn't here to cream Laurent. No need to pick a counter to a baby. ]

Once. [ Dokja was awful. ] He prefers to read on his phone now that it's here.

Oh, right. I heard there was a book in that thing.

[ Dokja's precious phone... Laurent does his best to play, even though it's still pretty bad. ]

I'm glad he finally has something to read. He's been waiting for such a long time that I thought he was hearing things but it turned out to be a skill.

[ past haki: it's totally a skill ]

[ Joonghyuk kind of? Understands what Laurent is talking about. Dokja is known for talking to himself, but he remembers that strange wall that swallowed stories whole.

... Unsettling. But it doesn't unsettle him enough to play poorly. ]

I don't see why he needs to read that story when I'm right here.

[ Grumbles. ]

[ It kind of makes Laurent snicker for a second. ]

Are you seriously jealous?

No. He’s reading my story.

[ Joonghyuk just thinks it’s inefficient?? ]

Does that mean he loves all of you, if he loves your story?

[ Despite bickering and sword fighting... you know the drill.

But damn, Laurent really lost big time. He can't help but to chuckle at his loss. ]

You really don't go easy on people either.

It means he loves Ways of Survival.

[ It's not the same? But kind of the same? Joonghyuk readies up for a second match. ]

Why should I be?
