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?”

...!

There's an outfit in there that would go great with my disguise!

[Just puts on the stache and glasses and points at the comedian outfit.]

[Serval claps and holds the outfit up to Iori.]

Wow, it's kind of cute! Do you want it?

Right!

Would it be okay?

Sure! [She hands it over.] I don't really need it, and I bet you'll have a lot of fun. Is this for a game?

[Taking it with a bright smile.]

Something like that!

Okay! Are we all going to get to play? It sounds fun.

Maybe! I need to find the right timing for it!

Like having another party?

Maybe!

That sounds like lots of fun! Let's do that. And maybe we can come up with some more games!

There's plenty of games that we can do for sure~!

Really? Like what? What do you like to play?

If we had cards or board games we could do something with that...

But we don't, so. Word games! Tag! Blindfolding people while whacking a watermelon!

That sounds like fun! I'm really good at playing hunter and prey, so I bet I could catch everyone.

Hmm, you think so?

Uh-huh! Do you like playing it, too?

I don't really play a game like that often, but.

But it's fun, right? We did a lot of that in the savannah. But I didn't think humans liked it much? Kaban-chan got scared when I tried.

It is fun... well, if you don't like, eat anyone.

I won't eat anyone! It's just a game.

Good, because for a sec I was gonna worry if someone would eat me for a game.

Do all humans think they're going to get eaten?

Nope!

It's probably only me.

I don't think so, because Kaban-chan said that when we first met, too! I thought she wanted to play, so I was chasing her around, and she got really scared when I caught her. I didn't know humans didn't like it.

Maybe she didn't know that you were playing?
