- 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?”
(OOC: Welcome to your first event log! Any questions can be directed to the FAQ. We will no longer be posting log questions and will be funneling them to the FAQ instead for easier access.

[ They may be here long enough where they deal with cold weather. Dokja watches him work, thinking about Friday before he starts up again. ] So I heard for Yoo Joonghyuk's food services you owe him now.
[ Good luck, Laurent... ] I think the party was a good idea though. Everyone seemed... [ Thinks about Smooch or Dare. ] ..to have a good time.
no subject
He can only laugh at the part where he owes the mola man an IOU though. ]
Are you not included in that "everyone"? You seem a little hesitant.
no subject
[ (If by interesting you mean whiplash--) From seeing Yoo Joonghyuk kiss another man, then after come to hug him? And say something that almost sounded genuine? And then even later kissed his head.
... Yeah, it was a whiplash of emotions. He doesn't know how to feel. One thing is for certain, he's still confused by it all. But, he's decided since to move on past it and not dwell on it any more than he has already. ] Anyways, I expected us to stay in tents for the rest of our trip but here we are with houses.
no subject
Isn't it much better? We get more space even with a storage. It's practically a garage.
[ Aaaand done! The log bed is finished! That really took no time at all. It's ready to be sent to your pocket now. ]
There we go.
no subject
[ Ah, nice. Into the pocket space you go... gigantic log bed. It's funny how quickly a bed was made in that brief moment. ]
Thanks, Laurent. I appreciate it. [ He'll take out his NookPhone after to find his list of DIYs and show him. ] If there's anything I can make that you'll want, feel free to let me know.
no subject
I'm interested in a swinging bench and a frying pan. Would you like to use the workbench right here?
[ He asks as he starts getting out the materials for those two things. ]
no subject
[ There are plans to make a workbench back at the house he's staying in but... iron nuggets... elusive... At least outside house two, there is a swinging bench set up as of the day before. It would be nice to see more set up around the island so helping with this works. ]
Alright, let's see.. [ He starts with the frying pan, because it gets finished surprisingly fast. Swinging bench with its size won't take nearly as long either. ] I know Tom Nook encouraged us to put more furnishing outside but this is the only thing I have that seems useful for that kind of thing. [ He hums thoughtfully. ] I did hear you can find bottles with DIYs on the beach though.
Have you had any luck?
no subject
[ That was... something. ]
There was an empty bottle on the shore too. I suspect someone already grabbed what was inside and left it there, all lonely on the beach.
no subject
[ Technically a fancy violin but.. he sold it almost immediately. Because money. Crushing any musician's dreams.
There we are, both frying pan and Swinging bench done! Which Laurent is free to take into his handy pockets. ] Guess I better keep a closer eye on the shores then.
Here you go.
no subject
[ Into the pockets you gooo. The swinging bench and frying pan disappear just like that. After a moment of consideration, he looks over at Dokja. ]
If you ever need to discuss anything with me, we can talk it out. It feels like you're sometimes holding back on some things that you really want to say.
[ ... ]
Just know the option is there.
[ Since he won't force him to. ]
no subject
I appreciate the offer but, there isn't really much to talk about? [ Of course he talks about the island here, what they do everyday. It's a pretty calm and relaxing vacation. For a lot of them. ]
Unless you have something specific in mind. [ What he could be holding back on. Maybe there has been some conversations he's held back on elaborating. Which now he's giving him the opportunity to continue. Partly because he's curious. Though, a lot of his thoughts are usually just that. Dealing with mostly the childish conversations made by the Fourth Wall. Now, he's gotten use to just thinking to himself. Of course he doesn't consider topics he's long put behind him ( looks at beach party) ]
no subject
It's just a feeling I had, though I heard it was also a cultural thing to hold back on things people really want to say, just not to the other's face.
[ Hm. ]
Though I did have a question. Did you ever consider becoming a pop star?
no subject
no]Well, you're not wrong. [ But it seems like Laurent isn't done. Except he... doesn't expect that kind of question. ]
..A pop star? [ What. He's so confused. ] Never.
no subject
illfacemyself.mp3]Then I'd have to assume you're something like a god.
no subject
Far from it actually, just a contracted worker in the QA department at Mino Soft company before my world started to work towards an apocalyptic end.
no subject
[ Haha.
Ha... ]
no subject
That would make for an interesting story. I wouldn't make for a good protagonist though.
no subject
[ Just like how Dokja finds use in everyone.
...
Laurent smiles, though it's no longer as wide. Just a small one, really. ]
It's fine. I confirmed it with Joonghyuk's reaction regardless--the stars and such. I won't go telling anyone if that's what you're worried about.
no subject
[ Kim Dokja does not think everyone is capable to be a good protagonist. Either you were made for the role or simply a supporting one, if not someone even lesser in the background. Though, he does tilt his head at those words with a curious smile. ] His reactions?
I'm curious to what it is you think exactly. [ Stars and such.. it doesn't really provide a lot of information. He imagines it has to do with the Constellations, but what exactly? Their role in their world? What it means to be one? It could be anything. He doesn't look worried though, finding no reason so far from what he's heard to warrant the feeling. ]
no subject
He smiles a little wider. ]
< Would you give me a reward if I'm right, oppa~? >
[ He made it sound cutesy just for this stupid aegyo in Korean.
i expire ]
no subject
I'll be taking my leave now, thank you Laurent.
no subject
Yeah, see you around.
[ He waves a little. ]
