AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Punchy makes his way to the plaza.

Pierce emerges from his house, lets out a yawn, and walks to the plaza.

Lucky heads to the plaza and begins examining the breakfast.

Soon, Isabelle walks up to the picnic table, rubbing sleep out of her eyes.

"Oh, hello everyone... usually I'm kept in Town Hall all of the time with paperwork... but it seems the Mayor gave me the day off."

"They seemed to be in a good mood today, at least Tom Nook acted like they were when he told me about this..."

"I have a sinking feeling that something bad happened last night... i-is anyone missing?"

Punchy yawns.
"Nehhhhh... I don't think so..."

"A few of us have yet to arrive. Maybe they're just late?"

I'm not... My worry that someone is missing though. Maybe it will come back when I can keep my eyes open for more than 5 seconds...

"I....had expected Whitney to be here. She's usually one of the first villagers to get to the plaza."

This post was long overdue, but hooray for lack of computer access that isn't complete butts. Ugggggh~

Time continues passing until it's nearly 11 am.

"This is insane. I've been watching you guys out the window of the Town Hall every morning (please don't think I'm creepy;;), and I've never known Cranston or Whitney to be late! Joe being gone is worrisome too... Octavian and Coco being gone is a bit odd, but I think Octavian lives at the bottom of the ocean at this point... and Coco is... weird..."

Isabelle sighs, then gets a determined look in her eyes.

"We need to check, just in case. We're likely not going to find anything, but this is getting to be a bit scary. Lucky, you go check on Octavian and Joe near your house. Pierce, you go check on Coco. Punchy, you come with me and check on Cranston while I go get Whitney."

"Any objections?"

"All right! Let's get going, then!"

Pierce heads to Coco's house and knocks on the door.

"Myah... okay."
Punchy gets up, stretches, and follows Isabelle.

You hear the sound of violent sneezing from inside, followed by the sound of something breaking. It's a bit doubtful she'll make it to the door anytime soon.

Just got Wisdom teeth out and so not conscious for good periods of time. Going have Coco remain sick, if alright, until not passing out for hours.

"Coco? Are you all right in there, rookie?"

Isabelle walks with Punchy over the bridge.

"Alright, this is where we split up. I'll go get Diana."

"And Punchy..."

"... be careful."

"O-okay."

Punchy runs to Cranston's house and knocks on the door.
