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?”

Those two don't seem like the type...

[compendiem]

They don't, huh? But since coming here, it feels like they've relaxed a little... They'd gotta have been influenced by somebody, right? Isn't it an idol who influences people like that?

[livefreely]

That's true, but... I haven't really done anything for them to, y'know. Be influenced?

[compendiem]

You don't have to do anything to influence people. You just sort of... exist. And people change by simply being around you.

[livefreely]

Is that how it works?

[compendiem]

That's how it works. Like... When I first got here, I didn't know what to do with myself. But then I met you, and it feels like I have direction again.

[livefreely]

... Huh.

[She sounds rather surprised, actually.]

[compendiem]

You sound like you think otherwise. What's on your mind?

[livefreely]

Huh?

Ah - non, non! It's nothing like that, ahaha. Everything's fine. See?

[Just holds her hands out placatingly.]

[compendiem]

Hm.

[ #doubt

Minato doesn't push, though. He never does. ]

Okay.

1 / 2

[livefreely]

[It's fine? It's fine.

She's fine. Just going to slap herself in the face to get herself together.]

[livefreely]

Yep, everything's gonna be okay, because I believe in everybody!

[She just wishes that she actually believed in the words she was saying.]

[compendiem]

...You want me to believe that after you just slapped yourself in the face.

[ Iori!! please!!!! ]

[livefreely]

Sometimes you gotta slap yourself in the face because you're being an idiot.

[compendiem]

I don't really get it... Maybe I would if I slapped myself in the face sometime, but other people do that to me enough.

[livefreely]

It's the only kind of slap I know how to do.

I can't slap anyone else, because I'm bad at it.

[compendiem]

You just need to practice. Here.

[ He waves a hand at himself. ]

[livefreely]

You want me to practice on you?

[compendiem]

I'm offering. If that's what you want.

[livefreely]

Okay...!

Prepare yourself, then!

[compendiem]

[ Ooh, she's actually going to do it. Preparing himself, Minato just stands still, hands in his pockets so Iori doesn't have to worry about him reflexively retaliating, and closing his eyes in case being stared at while she throws a punch weirds her out. ]

[livefreely]

[Well.

She is throwing an open palmed strike to his face. And she even throws her hips in it, so it's actually very strong. I'm so sorry, Minato.]

[compendiem]

[ Ugh—-

He's not expecting that at all, and the downside of putting his hands away is that he's unbalanced, stumbles backwards, steps on his tail he forgets he has, and falls flat onto his back, dazed and staring up at the sky.

... ]

You're a natural at this. Good job.

[livefreely]

Ah--

A-Are you okay, though? I know that wasn't a proper slap since I'm not used to it, but...

[compendiem]

It was a critical hit. Been a long time since anybody's been able to land one on me...

[ Granted, he's never faced an enemy and just stood there and let them have a free shot, but still, he's impressed. He doesn't get up from the ground, instead choosing to lie there until his face goes from numb to burning. ]

How'd it feel? Satisfying?
