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?

!

TASKS:

In the stars:
Compare your astrology sign with someone else, and find out if you're a match!

Say Cheese:

Ah, so you have your own Wicked God Vide. How comforting.

[diabolizes]

I think it's certainly possible that they do. The afterlife works in mysterious ways... it's a shame we're so limited in our communication.

[diabolizes]

Neither do I...

[ He crosses his arms. ]

I'll think about what we could do, or if there may be alternative ways of communicating.

[chosenwang]

As you know. I do appreciate any kindness you have to offer me.
（￣ε￣ʃƪ）
I have been wondering about how formidable out dear hosts are
Especially after seeing what they have done to you
I do hope you plan on making it up to me after leaving on your own like that ♡

I will take your words to heart and spread them to the others if they happen to miss the privilege of seeing your messages
Especially the ugly part.
I'll be as safe as I can, but I can't make any promises, my dear.
Wouldn't be gentlemanly of me to step back
I will try to keep them safe at least.
Try not to miss me terribly ♡

[diabolizes]

They are. A little kindness truly does go a long way when it comes to children.

[chrysaline]

I've never heard of them outside of stories, to be honest. We pray for souls to pass on and be at peace. But I've never heard any reply.

[ From the ghosts or from god, either/or. ]

They seem real enough in other worlds, though.

[idologue]

And it is repaid tenfold. When you hold a child's hand, it's impossible to forget what truly matters.

[ So small, so fragile and so alive. ]

[idologue]

It's the same for me. I've spent many years praying for the souls of the deceased, it's not as though I do not believe there is something of an individual that transcends life itself.

But... The idea of souls remaining conscious enough to send messages, to feel boredom... It seems as though that is just life again.

I don't know whether or not that is something to be celebrated.

[microtransactions]

Hmmmm...

[ hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. ]

Gotta say, you're much more agreeable than that guy was!

[idologue]

[ ..... yeah, what does that mean. She tilts her head. ]

And how would you classify an 'extra'?

[microtransactions]

What is it with all these doomsday cults, anyway...?

[dupiety]

[He's been following this with bated breath ever since Wang Lu started laughing right next to him.

And now he's laughing softly too.]

[necrotiem]

One of your specialties? I wonder if it's doable.

[Waltaquin crosses her arms, deep in thought.] They were very encouraging of survival above all else. It was a great lark at the time, but I think we're missing a piece of the puzzle.

Think what you want, but a "stay alive, take care of yourselves, win" rallying muster from Vergilius, even in his usual taciturn charm, is a little noteworthy.

[diabolizes]

i know you will, i have confidence in you

if i ever have my powers back in full, just know that you'll be the first ghost i take control of

[microtransactions]

Stick it in the back of the book about their story for reference!

[diabolizes]

I agree. The old man was a complete asshole, I doubt he would ever want to give us a piece of encouragement like that by his own free will.

[ He means that positively, believe it or not. ]

There's something that they know that we are unaware of, that's for sure. Do you think conferring with them more would give us any insight into that, or are their hands tied?

[dancing_flames]

... not as much of one as you might think.

[His contribution from the corner over here.]

[diabolizes]

Seems like you know that feeling well.

[ That doesn't surprise him much. With her personality, he imagines kids love her. ]

[diabolizes]

I promise I mean it as a compliment.

[ He grins. ]

But if you'd like to share some stories of his kindness while he can't stop you, I'm all ears.

[dancing_flames]

Heh. Unfortunately for the rest of you, I'm just going to leave you all guessing.

[In part because he is also trying not to look soft!!]

[idologue]

I spent two years assisting in raising a group of war orphans. They were my greatest inspiration after the fighting ended.

[ 'Assisting in the raising of' is phrasing it generally - these kids were all sleeping in her room. ]

[diabolizes]

Not brave enough to say on the off-chance his ghost haunts you at night? I understand.

[ hehe ]

[diabolizes]

[ Take more credit, Lacus!!

Wei Wuxian raises his eyebrows. ]

That's quite the feat. [ He smiles. ] I wonder how much our backgrounds have in common. It might be just this little tidbit, but I'm curious anyway.

[dancing_flames]

Frankly, there could be much worse people than Vergilius haunting me at night.

[You know, like Lobelia.]

[diabolizes]

Hahaha! I think you're right. The old man would get bored of it after an hour or two.

[ Haunting takes some serious commitment, after all. ]
