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?

!

[Hehehehehe.

Okay, that's enough of that.]

Have you asked them to remove it, if it's that embarrassing for you?

[divector]

true it always helps to have a backup
and a backup of a backup i guess

not really? it's just another stop in the store as long as i remember my sizes
i guess i take more time than most people but that's all that sticks out to me

[dupiety]

[...

How does he put this, exactly...]

I hardly matters anymore. What's done is done.

Never would have I imagined it would lead to you calling me "cute", though...

[necrotiem]

[She looks a bit canary-eating, like it's a non-truth she's told before with a similar level of deniability.]

I can agree with you on that much. Spells so rich and delectable aren't made to be ignored and shouldn't be seen as anything but what they are...useful.

[It continues to be strange that Nona thinks she is nice, or perhaps just "likeable" now."]

[townmusician]

You gotta stop having pictures taken of you in compromising positions, Temenos Mistral-san.

[gluttoning]

Is that bad?

[Ah. Is that why he's embarrassed...]

If you don't like that, I can stop.

[dupiety]

Just..."Temenos" is fine...

[Haruka what the fuck???]

[dancing_flames]

Let's just say Temenos' healing is more useful than I'd been expecting. I'm ready to go whenever.

[And honestly, even if he wasn't, this is a man who got stabbed clean through the shoulder and then promptly reopened the wound trying to fight less than two weeks later...]

[townmusician]

[calling people by their full names is just what he does okay don’t ask me why he does this]

If you insist.

[dupiety]

No. No, it's...not.

[Why must this conversation be happening in front of Joshua and everyone.]

[necrotiem]

I know a great many things today that I didn't before. I consider myself enlightened. [You fought monsters without her :(]

Next time, you can just stand in my circle if you're healthy enough to be picky.

[dancing_flames]

[Oh he feels you there so much, Quin.]

Anything that can inflict damage on it in multiple places. If we can damage it faster and in more places than it can regenerate, we might be able to take it out without needing to resort to boulders and water.

[microtransactions]

Honestly, I'm still wondering why you're all making such a big deal out of it.

[ but this is clearly some sort of cultural thing, apparently. an interdimensional norm of one. ]

[dupiety]

It is rather...complicated. Normally I wouldn't mind, but...

[Motions at the big deal that was made by other people.]

[gluttoning]

Ah.

Then it's okay. It was just the first thing I thought of when I saw it. I don't need the photo to think that's still true.

[ in the early hours of the morning before the sun gets too hot, josh can be found on the rooftop of toucan cabana, playing with his phone (his orange one, not his u-pinion, if anyone is sharp-eyed enough). he's more interested in people watching the rest of the vacationers who are walking by, but he's more than happy to float down for a chat if actively approached. there is also a non-zero chance that he might just bean you on the head with a small trinket of some sort because he thinks it's funny, in a stunning call-back to what he was doing on week 2.

there's also a severe lack of shopping options in the resort, so josh can be found loitering near the gift shop and boutique and browsing through whatever is still left there. strangely, aside from the regular white/pink/gray type of clothes that he may have been seen wearing throughout the weeks here, some of the pieces and items that josh is picking up trend brighter. quite a bit of purple in there, too.

when it's too hot to be out in the afternoon, josh can be found at the arcade, defaulting to his regular choice of first-person-shooter-killing-zombie arcade games. there is room for a partner/player 2, if anyone wants to join~

later in the evening he can be found at the waterfall, and there is a trend here in joshua liking high places because he can be found hovering just off the top of the waterfall right as the sun sets, as if he's debating on whether to actually take the plunge.

and because i'm determined to have him make a circuit around all the islands in one day (rip) at night, josh makes his appearance known at the ballroom, where he's made a beeline straight for the grand piano and is playing a piano approximation of this song. once he's bored of tinkering with the grand piano, he can be found messing with the speaker system of the stage theatre and the various backing tracks that they're offering playing over the speakers. there's a common thread - all the tracks that he lets play to the end all have a koto playing prominently either in the melody or the bass, and there's something a little bit wistful there. ]

( feel free to wildcard me or dm me on discord for a pc! )

[necrotiem]

[Sorry, Wei Wuxian, she's busy continuing to have her little gigglefit at the thought to respond right away. So, so amusing...]

I'm sure they can be put together again if we end up getting a little too carried away. We've a whole new island to explore!

[gluttoning]

Humans usually kiss to show someone they deeply care about them. I don't think I've seen anyone use it for healing instead.

[Education.]

[finalmix]

[ I FORGET, JRPG CHARACTERS UNITE ]

Yeah, if you figure out how to do it, I'll buy the recipe from you so I can sell it back home.

[ capitalism ✨ ]

[dupiety]

You flatter me, truly.

[Where did his ability to say "yes I know I'm cute heheh" and move on go.]

[finalmix]

[ 🍿 ]

[microtransactions]

Huh! Yeah, it's pretty common in my neck of the woods to just like, share healing that way regardless of species, quick and easy. There isn't really a deeper meaning to it?

Good to know, I guess!

[ education! ]

[microtransactions]

You want me to give you more heads up next time if needed, or...?

[dupiety]

Ah, no. You did nothing wrong, Magolor.
