The Move-In

You’ve spent the week adjusting to island life by getting to know one another, figuring out what to do with all those presents, gathering your resources and selling them off to Tom Nook. The weekend is finally here, though, and that’s something to celebrate!

...But when you wake up on Saturday, whenever that may be, the environment you’re in is not the tent you remember falling asleep in. Rather, you’re inside of some kind of house with a white wall and ceiling, wood lined across the bottom of the walls. The floor is wood, too, shiny and glossy as the sun rays shine through the one window in your house. Whatever you had lying out in your tents is still arranged in the same general order you had your things in before. Furthermore, you’re still lying on your camping cots with the same people who fell asleep in the tent with you, but if you decide to get up and investigate, you’ll find two other rooms other than the one you’re in.

Facing the door from the inside, if you look to your left, you’ll find...a bathroom! It’s got a basic toilet, sink, and a bathtub with a showerhead for you to use. There are also enough bath towels for each person hanging on a towel rack. The walls are white but the floor in here is tiled instead of wooden. The room across the bathroom, however, is empty. It has the same wallpaper and flooring as the main room you found yourself in.

It’s a small, comfy place you’re staying in, but the real question is… When did this happen? Only one way to find out.

And sure enough, if you’re awake by nine AM, Tom Nook will rally everyone to Resident Services for his morning announcements.

“Good morning, everyone, and welcome to your first weekend on Isle Sonrisa! As you’ve all probably already noticed by now, we were able to upgrade your tents last night into houses! Don’t worry, there is no fee for this upgrade -- but now you finally have a place where you can decorate your house with all the furniture you were able to get in the mail. For any excess items you may have… Might I suggest a yard sard of some sort, hm?”

He tilts his head a little. He thinks this is a good idea!

“Alternatively, houses all come with storage. There’s a small little storage shed in the back of everyone’s houses that can fit many, many items. If you don’t want to sell your items to me or hand them off to someone else, you can store them inside of there.”

Tom Nook nods his head. “Yes, yes. I’d like to suggest that you all take this weekend to decide how to arrange the items you’ve gotten in the mail...and one more thing about those items: You can put them outside, too. For example, oh, an exercise area might be nice…” He sounds a little wistful when he says it, but promptly shakes his head afterwards.

“Ah-! Before I forget...erm… It seems as though one of our friends has unexpectedly left the island. We don’t know where or how he left, you see...but Heimdall is no longer here. We’re still working on figuring out a way to send you all home, and we’re trying to track him down, too.”

He looks very guilty about that, at least. But the moment passes, and he perks up again, smiling at everyone as best as he can. “Alright, that’s it! You can spend the weekend however you’d like to, but with your new homes being built and all the furniture some of you have received, well… It may be a good idea to work on that, no?”

[Since they sell for a hundred, and twenty at that price would still make him a solid profit...]

Granted! How many do you have?

[pr159]

[ Does... does he know how profits work... ]

Excellent. I could part with six.

[thezekeinator]

[Yes! Because twenty apples and a little effort is worth four thousand bells!]

You've got it!

[Zeke starts counting out bells. He has quite a few, it seems!]

[pr159]

[ Fair; he isn't expecting any of this ugly-ass apple furniture to actually sell for that much. But, hm. He's not sure if all that money means the bird's less bad with finances than he thought, or that it just has a lot of enthusiasm for hitting rocks and shaking trees.

In any case. ]

Pleasure doing business with you.

[thezekeinator]

Keep me in mind if you ever need some Apple Wallpaper! With new houses comes a need to decorate, after all!

[pr159]

I am never going to need that, but noted.

[thezekeinator]

What, you have a different recipe for wallpaper?

[pr159]

Not yet, but I'm willing to wait until I find something that doesn't sound like it belongs in a toddler's playroom.

[thezekeinator]

Now hang on a moment, chum! This apple wallpaper is classy and would look magnificent on any walls! It brightens the home and gives it a happy 'island living' feel!

[pr159]

[ skeptical....... in part because "classy" and "happy island living feel" don't exactly go together in his book. ]

Let's see it, then.

[thezekeinator]

[Luckily, Zeke has some on him -- got to sell for the bell, you know! So he produces it without a moment of hesitation, displaying it proudly.]

[pr159]

[ You know what, that's about what he expected. Though admittedly, it is kind of impressive that this is made out of actual apples. ]

...Yeah, not really my style.

[thezekeinator]

Well, your loss. I can't think of anything that suits this peaceful island living more!
