WEEK THREE

26 Vacationers

The events of the past weekend, the past week, may linger on your mind as you awaken to the sun rising on your third week on Sungem's Peak. The rays of the sun are welcoming as always, and so are the amenities, and the new island— Kingfisher's Retreat.

The theme this week certainly seems to be relaxation and excitement, perhaps with a mind to distract all vacationers that your number has decreased by two. Or maybe you're the type to take a plunge in the name of your sacrificed vacationers? Either way, there's plenty of do, including more tasks for the objective minded.

!

TASKS:

Dear:
How are you enjoying your vacation? Are you missing your friends or family back home? Write them a postcard and post it on the bulletin board!
(REWARD: RARE!)

Gifts:
Everyone loves gifts, so this week give one to someone else! It can be a physical gift, a gift from the heart, or any other kind of gift.
(REWARD: RARE!)

Take a Plunge
Take advantage of the waterfall, cold plunge, or even plain trust with one another. The point is to take a leap of faith together!
(Reward: Common)

[ Xiao isn't a fan of cooking, but he's done it enough times to know the basics. Psyche seems to be having some trouble, and he may not be the best person to help, but he can try. He looks at what she's peeling, then at the recipe. ]

Let me see the recipe first.

[gluttoning]

Eh?

[Wow, here he thought you were actually thinking, Wang Lu.]

The parfait didn't need a payment. Are you sure?

[chosenwang]

Yeah, I'm sure. If you're that worried, you could always make me another one.

[diabolizes]

I haven't!

[ He quickly turns to a new page, but if Xiao's paying enough attention, he'll see that Wei Wuxian was simply sketching the beach. ]

Pose for me and I'll draw it now.

[chrysaline]

Really? A test of what?

[ Brightly. She has so much good faith here. ]

[chosenwang]

On the contrary, I am worried about my dear senior beside me. It might be a bit much for your age.

[ He goes hold out his hand for him. Want to hold hands? ]

[chosenwang]

To see how useful they really are and if people wind up missing them.

[chrysaline]

Oh! Thank you, Xiao.

[ She's really never cooked in her life, but at least she's patient, good at following directions, and fine with handling blades? She gives Xiao a genuine smile and pushes the recipe over: lotus root and pork rib soup. ]

I think these are lotus root? We don't really have this in Vasilios, but the little cats have been helping. [ To what accuracy is a mystery. ] We might have to make some substitutions, though. I don't really know about that.

[chrysaline]

Extortion? I really hadn't expected that from you, Wang Lu.

[gluttoning]

Heh...

[He'll tuck the mirror close, nodding gratefully.]

Sure. Whenever you want more, just ask.

[divector]

sounds fun so sure. though i'm not sure why he'd be that paranoid over it

[chosenwang]

[ Psyche is too good and he's starting to feel a bit of regret. ]

It's all in good fun. Besides, it'll be all restocked anyways. [ But what if butter knife economy ]

[plunges]

[ Normally, he would decline, but seeing as though this is one of the tasks and he'd like to help Wei Wuxian complete it... ]

...Direct me, then.

[ He has no idea how to model. ]

[plunges]

[ He's aware of some popular lotus dishes in Liyue, though he can't say he's ever made one himself. Still, he'll nod and hand the recipe back to her. ]

Which part of it requires substituting?

[plunges]

Where did you get that idea from?

[ The answer is yes. ]

un: temenos

[dupiety]

Please.

I am going absolutely insane trying to enjoy a meal that requires them.

[chrysaline]

[ Is she really good if she's bullying him... she stifles a giggle. ]

Then you won't be able to trade for them for very long, right? Have you gotten any offers?

[dupiety]

[Here's Temenos, wearing...we'll say he let Wang Lu pick something (sensible) for him today.

He gives the offer some thought...]

What is their purpose?

[He's heard of them back home, but he's never paid the whole spa thing any mind until today.]

[chrysaline]

I'm not sure if the pork is right... or the ginger? The cats have been trying to help, but they can't answer much.

[ It's probably powdered ginger that she's found, alas for Psyche. If she'd planned to be kidnapped to a strange island and making friends she wanted to cook for, she would have tried to get lessons before. ]

[dakicover]

Then behind him, the stove is on fire!

His subordinate decide to help by spraying a fire extinguisher on him and the food.

[stilllovesyou]

I only ate one knife, so it's not me...

[dakicover]

Huh, interesting... I've seen people hunting with falcons and people growing chicken for food, but not something like this.

[ he smiles softly, looking around to view the variety of birds. ]

Maybe they were more excited about the food than they were threatened. Either way, we shouldn't have to think much about it. You said you had one, didn't you? Then this must remind you of home.

[dupiety]

Thank you, Lacus. I shall take you up on your offer.

[Temenos has come by for a little soak, because why not, honestly. When was the last time he got to stop and enjoy an onsen?

Similarly covered, he takes a few gentle steps into the water and settles down nearby. He listens to Lacus' anecdote in the meantime, and by the end of it, he...seems quite lost.]

My sincerest apologies, but I'm afraid you might have to explain that a bit further. A...facsimile on a spaceship? While underwater?

[He can piece bits of it together, but being able to build a visual would be appreciated.]

[dakicover]

[ ONE. KNIFE. ]

Okay.

[ ONE??? KNIFE???? ]
