️The Premise and Bakground ️
Moondrop Island is a tiny uncharted island somewhere in the northern Caribbean Sea, originally inhabited by only furries—two-legged talking animal creatures!
Furries are not found anywhere else on Earth, aside from tiny uncharted islands. A long time ago, furries and humans coexisted. But furries eventually were mistreated. An elder furry with magical powers erased all humans’ memory of them, and they all fled to small uncharted islands, hidden by mystic forces.
There were no humans who knew of the existence of these furries, or of these seemingly mystical islands, until a small boat sailing from an island in the Bahamas in got into a shipwreck during what was supposed to be a three-hour whale-watching tour.
Everyone on the boat survived, and miraculously washed up on the gently moonlit shores of Moondrop Island 2:00 that morning.
Tom Nook takes in the castaways, gives them homes on the island, and lets them pay with a spontaneous form of currency he comes up with—Nook Miles. He offers the Nook Miles as a reward for improving the island.
In the meantime, he and everyone else are putting together all their knowledge and trying to build a GPS that can track the island’s location in the world to lead the castaways back home.
However, since the furries cannot go back to the human world and show themselves to people, that would mean... they’d have to say goodbye forever...
(The island’s paths and decor are incomplete and are in progress as of now.)

She keeps a talking black bass in her house. The fish, not the instrument. Back at home, she leaves behind her close friend Aria, and friends from high school, Hibiki, Ursula, Santana, and Ruya.

️ The Story Thus Far... ️
Luana, working part time as a resort in the Bahamas, was the captain of a small tour boat. Rhona was the assistant captain and tour guide for what was supposed to only be a three-hour whale-watching tour...
When they headed for a storm out in the open sea, Luana was reckless and refused to turn back, even though Rhona warily advised her to retreat. All the passengers had a bad feeling about it.
Pastell was sitting next to Haku, whom she had just met, and had been having a conversation with her. Nico and Rin had just met, and were sitting next to each other as well. Teto was meanwhile trying to make friends with Octavia, the “mysterious pretty lady” sitting in the shade. Her bouncy and hyper personality repelled most people, but Octavia found it endearing...
Now everyone was panicking.
The intense storm grew stronger, and eventually flipped over and wrecked the boat once it was out in the open sea. The strong current swept away the parts and passengers to a nearby mysterious island…
2:00 AM.
Everyone’s waterlogged bodies are spread across different parts of the island’s beaches. Pekoe walks out of her house... to see Pastell’s unconscious body on the sand. She gets the shock of her life! Is it really... a human!? She’s only seen illustrations of humans in books, and only heard of them through stories passed down through generations. Humans were never known for being nice to furries.
This human, however, looked like it needed help. What was Pekoe to do?
Pekoe panics, and goes to the house of someone she can trust. She goes over to Goldie’s place in a confused panic...
️ The Shenanigans Won’t Stop! ️
The secret to Octavia’s past: Octavia WAS a school idol back in her high school days. Back then, her short hair was long and wavy, her bangs covered her eyes and face, and she dressed in frilly clothes. Her alter ego back in high school was Mia Okuda. That’s because, if you write “Octavia” in Japanese kanji, it can be 「奥田美亜」which can be pronounced as “Okuda Mia.” In Japan, last names come first.
When Octavia/Mia Okuda was 18, something humiliating happened to her, and she never sang again... However, she picked up learning to play the electric bass, cut her long hair, and began to craft a new image for herself... as Octavia.
It just so turns out that Nico is a fan of Mia Okuda, the mysterious retired school idol with a frilly-gothic image, long black hair, and a deep, velvety voice. But Nico doesn’t know that Mia Okuda is actually Octavia back in high school, and she’s so bad at telling people by faces, that she has no clue.
When Octavia first comes into Nico’s room, she sees a poster of Mia Okuda hanging on the wall. (Don’t ask why that was being sold in Nook’s Cranny. I know it makes no sense.)
“This is one of my favorite idols.” Nico says. “She’s pretty obscure. You probably don’t know of her.”
Octavia wants to keep her old secret identity, well... a secret. But the talking black bass that she keeps in her room keeps encouraging her to start singing again, even after the event that made her stop.
One day, Octavia is singing alone in her room again for the first time, and Nico hears a voice that’s undeniably the voice of one of her favorite idols. She runs straight into Octavia’s house to tell her, “OH MY GOSH, MIA OKUDA IS ON THE ISLAND, I HEAR HER SINGING.”
When Nico realizes Octavia was singing, the pieces finally click... Octavia was Mia Okuda all along! Nico faints dramatically and theatrically.
———
In the next story, Nico is terrified of tarantulas. However, tarantulas unfortunately love her. Nico Yazawa has a huge cult following of tarantulas, as she is the most popular school idol in tarantula society...
Nico and Luana also don’t get along at all at first. Nico is a total diva, and Luana is a total slob.
Nico uses her Nook Mikes ticket at the same time as Luana, and they have to go to the same island. The island is infested with tarantulas everywhere. (Also, please don’t ask how they can do mystery island tours without a GPS, lol)
Nico is terrified. The tarantulas however, adore Nico and want to get her autograph, so they climb on her. Nico screams for Luana to help her. Luana fearlessly pulls out her net and attempts to rescue Nico from the tarantulas by just catching all of them. However, the tarantulas see Luana as a threat and run up to her, biting her simultaneously and knocking her out with their poison. Nico faints from the shock (again), leaving her terrrifying tarantula fans to climb over her and steal her belongings as souvenirs.
Nico and Luana are rescued and they go back home. Nico apologizes to Luana and thanks her for trying to save her, and they form a friendship from them on.
However, Nico accidentally takes one tarantula back with her. She eventually ends up keeping him as a pet. His name is Terry and he can talk. He becomes like Nico’s sidekick and partner in crime. Nico looks to Terry for advice.
———
In one story, everyone fights over what the town tune should be. To compromise, everyone puts two notes of their favorite song and make a brand new song out of all their songs altogether.
The end result song ends up sounding like a disaster. It gets stuck in the heads of everyone on the island and drives the population crazy.
