- 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?”

That was mean!

Still think I'm cute now? [Alexis asks hopefully, although she's not certain which outcome she's hoping for.]
no subject
[Specially with the ears and tail, sorry Alexis, you're forever cute.]
no subject
[Alexis sighs, deflating before walking up to Sonico.]
Your. Music. Is very good, though.
[She reaches out a hand towards the synthesizer board, as if to touch it, but barely stops herself.
Cat instincts.]
no subject
[Have a huge grin!
And then a blushing face because WHAT]
T-thank you! I didn't think you'd like it!
sonico is one hand on top of alexis's away from an intimate ritual
...you're especially good at it.
And this is coming from someone who's had to put up with a really, really bad musician for most of her life.
LMFAO rip alexis
[She fiddles with the synth a little more, and starts playing a soft melody, to accompany Alexis' voice.]
no subject
...
[Alexis furrows her brow, trying to conjure up the memory, but- it doesn't come.]
Whatever. It doesn't matter.
[It very clearly matters.]
no subject
[Sonico looks slightly worried, Alexis looks like she might need a hug.]
no subject
You ever forget what you're talking about midsentence?
It's been happening a lot to me lately and it's been really irritating me. It's nothing to worry about, really.
[Alexis attempts a reassuring smile, and somehow, it looks genuine.]
no subject
[Sonico smiles back because that's a cute kitty smile!]
no subject
Alexis staggers back with the force of that smile, and all her troubles fade away.]
Yeah. It happens more often with you, which is... weird? But it's not a bad feeling when it's-
Gah, forget it.
no subject
[How to forget when you're mid sentence?]
no subject
That feeling you get when you know you forgot something important? But you remembered it for a few seconds so you're still feeling kinda happy even though you're also super depressed.
It's hard to describe.
no subject
[Sonico smiles softly, and nods.]
If you want, we could always try to get you to remember.
no subject
[Alexis feels oddly hesitant about Sonico's suggestion, but she shakes it off. This is Sonico, after all.]
I'm open to suggestions.
no subject
Like an item of yours that will go BAM! And you remember!
no subject
...
The problem is that I haven't gotten any deliveries yet.
no subject
wrap?
[Alexis isn't afraid of her own memories, what are you talking about?]
For now, though, can we just...
Hang out?
ok~
