    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.

    Let us know if you have any questions, as always! NPCing will be available after ~3:30PM EST today.)

[ Dokja... the more you "continue not thinking about the beach party", things might happen in the future!! Unfortunately, Laurent can't read minds despite being an avid predictor of people, so he doesn't know it bothered him. If it did anyway. ]

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?

[ Not if you run away from your problems!! Impossible. Kim Dokja is an expert at doing what he wants to get the results he wants so that will be easy. 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.

[ illfacemyself.mp3 ]

Then I'd have to assume you're something like a god.

[ hahaha.wav ]

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.

Something like an "ancient star" working at a company sounds like the beginning of an urban fantasy novel.

[ Haha.

Ha...

[ "Ancient" seems to make him almost freeze, but as Laurent continues Dokja seems back to normal as lips raise in another smile. Almost seeming amused. ]

That would make for an interesting story. I wouldn't make for a good protagonist though.

Is that so? I think everyone makes a good protagonist, especially in first person point in view narration.

[ 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.

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that.

[ 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. ]

[ Laurent feels like he realized what it was with Dokja's demeanor that bothered him a little. He looks a little thoughtful at first--it reminds him of someone he really doesn't like. However, the difference lies in that he actually likes Dokja enough to not ignore on the spot.

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.

[ Well that gave him literal chills. Didn't like that at all. ]

I'll be taking my leave now, thank you Laurent.

[ When gods don't give you chills but fake aegyo does... His reaction just makes Laurent laugh a little. ]

Yeah, see you around.

[ He waves a little. ]
