    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.)

[Byleth is more of a tea person by far, but she's no stranger to coffee, at least.

... She's feeling the need for caffeine though, so it doesn't take her long to make her way over.]


You look right at home here.

[He looks up to see Byleth, and shoots a smile over at her as he finishes cleaning out one of the empty coffee cups.]

Reminds me of my time in Tokyo. I'd lived in the attic of a cafe for a year, and helped around the place from time to time. I don't think I'm too shabby of a barista because of it.

Is that so?

[She hums thoughtfully.]

... A cup of coffee doesn't sound too bad right now. I don't normally drink it, but...

[Caffeine..........]

It's free, so you can give it a shot, and if you don't like it, I won't take any offense.

[He'll just get to boiling more water and grinding some more beans now!]

One of the Knights of Seiros back home is fond of it. I think it's more common in her homeland. She complains often about the price because it has to be imported.

I'm usually more of a tea person myself...

[She's happy to watch him work!]

Most of the coffee we have at the cafe I stayed at back home is imported as well. Not to say Japan doesn't make its own coffee, but some other countries really specialize in it, and Sojiro was all about getting the best stuff he could.

[He wonders sometimes how much money he has squirreled away from that old government job of his. It's not like Leblanc gets swarmed with patrons.]

I like tea, too. Maybe if we're lucky, we'll get that here, too. I wouldn't mind adding that to the menu.

Was he the one who taught you how to make coffee?

[She hums thoughtfully.]

It'd be nice to get some... I doubt blends from my world will show up, but if they do, I'll happily share them with you.

He was. He was also my guardian for a year. Owned the shop that I stayed at. He was a bit of a grump at first, but honestly, I owe him a ton.

[Sojiro as well had become family over the last twelve months, and was yet another person he was going to sorely miss.]

Sounds good to me. Thanks, Byleth.
