WEEK 4

[killerwaves]

WEEK FOUR

24 Vacationers

What started with a week promising relaxation turned into something else entirely. It might be nice to try to grab a quiet moment after the whirlwind of the weekend, but there's something to be said about keeping up the momentum too.The island open to you this week, Dodo's Outlook, seems to have that in mind, or at the very least, keeping your mind occupied. All damage to the island buildings has been fixed by Monday morning at least, but noticeably there are less palm trees than before where the damage was the heaviest. Explorers too will find that the area behind the waterfall has been completely sealed off with solid rock.

Whether you're the type to commune with the nature of marine life in the aquarium, the cosmos in the planetarium, or to spin your own tale in the theater, there's plenty to do and enjoy. As always there's task to complete too, and after all you've been through by now, what's a little more bonding in the pursuit of prizes?

!

The beeping may have been because the door was left open, but I do agree it wasn't by accident. They did thank us for the data.

not here

[finalmix]

My city~

[ duh. ]

[idologue]

If this place needs the presence and death of beings with power, then experimenting with creating such beings could prove beneficial - if you disregard ethics.

[chosenwang]

[ Looking at Temenos. Honey, your beef is thicc and thick ]

[hearnoplague]

What.

[ Sir, you make a worse death god than the other guy, why this. ]

[diabolizes]

[ He laughs. ]

It’s a little running joke that Xiao and I have. I watch over A-Yuan from time to time, but he very much belongs to his own family.

[dancing_flames]

And pitting us against those beings is a pretty good way of ensuring at least one death.

[finalmix]

[ grins. ]

You look surprised.

[plunges]

...Yes. Yes, we should do that.

[ He still doesn't like that at all, but - ]

Hm. I cannot help but wonder if they have more free rein than we do, while we are here. Perhaps they may be able to see different parts of this world than us.

[ Assuming nothing is holding them back from exploring more of the island chain, etc. ]

[chosenwang]

I do wonder if they really need us to be sacrificed to stabilized the island or if it's merely to help with their research.

[finalmix]

What happened on Sunday probably was for more research purposes than anything, since whatever distortion by the waterfall had already disappeared by then?

That said, if their research is what's causing the distortions...

[chosenwang]

Our children grow up so fast. [ Wiping away an imaginary tear ] But Little Xiao will always be little to me.

[gluttoning]

...They might know more.

They said to give the "two" a taste of their own medicine.

[microtransactions]

Oh, I gotcha. So, one to deal with the distortion here, and one to deal with ... whatever needs dealing with on their end?

[chosenwang]

The distortions can even be some kind of side effect from bringing us from different worlds. Or maybe it's them bringing more of those things here. He did say most things are cranky when you bring them from another world.

[microtransactions]

Don't mind if I do! One golden elixir, please!

[finalmix]

It's a theory, at least~ unless we can ask from like... Merlin, or Chai? They've been wherever they are for more than a week, right?

[dancing_flames]

[He's not wrong about that--]

[finalmix]

Tell me about it.

[ case in point, the entire group here??? ]

I do find it awfully convenient that the distortions happen every time on a newly revealed island.

[dupiety]

[Temenos was going to let Wang Lu explain this but clearly he needs to do it himself.

After making another sound of amusement, he smiles at Beelzebub.]

Beelzebub, allow me to make this clear. Wang Lu and I truly are joking about this marriage of ours. He calls you the “other man” because in our faux relationship, you are a love rival to him.

[chosenwang]

Equivalent exchange rule. They may be expanding the places and using our powers or death as a way to stabilize the new place to get to final goal. The second sacrifice may be tied into bringing those things.

If they only need a sample of DNA, then murdering would give them plenty of that to use for it as well. [ Giving an exaggerated shiver ] Imagining one of those things using my DNA. No thank you.

[idologue]

We're going to run out of time eventually - and so are they.

[chosenwang]

[ Canned beef is cranky when his booboos get kissed better as well ]

[townmusician]

[At this point can he even be surprised. Yeah, sure, God is just some scrawny teenager.]

This is exhausting…
