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?

!

[plunges]

[ !! ]

Wei Wuxian!

[ Alright, that's it, he's going to pull out his U-pinion. Panic starts to settle in his chest, but he remains calm nevertheless. ]

I will send out a call for a healer. Stay put.

[ ... ]

Don't go anywhere. Please.

[ And everyone will get a message from Xiao on the network: ]

Need a healer right now
At the garden
Wei Wuxian needs help

[idologue]

I hold no regrets about it. The war has claimed a great many lives, but I believe that we were able to prevent an even greater amount of bloodshed.

not them having the same braincell... (this thread looks worse now that it's today)

[necrotiem]

What? But I'll be busy.

[Waltaquin crosses her arms, petite features engaged in full pout mode. Come on, she's just a little guy, from ye olde-ish-lier times!]

I'm sure you can conscript someone with the acumen for such precise work.

[diabolizes]

Go ahead.

[ He sits down, trying to keep himself from hacking up his lungs again.

Since they aren't under the control of resentful energy for the moment, there will only be traces of it. Unfortunately, Wei Wuxian's coughing in the background is probably distracting. ]

[dupiety]

[He laughs, clearly fond to have their little talk with Beelzebub referenced.]

"My demon." [He repeats.] He is hardly my property.

[Even if it does have a quite a ring to it...

Anyway, he fishes his U-pinion out of his robes.]

Wait. Put them back on. You ought to at least get a look for yourself, hm? I am hardly the be all, end all of judgment...in this case.

[Holy matters, yes. Megane aesthetics, no.]

[townmusician]

Yes. Everyone has all these twist reveals and like, I get wanting privacy, but who’s going to be like “oh I’m actually a secret godking” next?

[He likes most of y’all but please he can only deal with so much fantasy nonsense. He needs a nap.]

[diabolizes]

As if you wouldn't offer in the first place.

[ Wang Lu will notice that, when Wei Wuxian opens his mouth, his tongue is black.

How fun! ]

[idologue]

[ Such gentle music... Lacus closes her eyes this time, sitting perfectly still as she lets the music envelop her. There's a second of silence after Temenos finishes, before she gets up to actually walk over. ]

These tunes are beautiful. Do you play for audiences, at home?

[necrotiem]

[Even for someone laser focused on the accumulation of hexes and perfecting dark magics, it really is a lot. Not knowing how his spells work in particular is likely to be equally obstructive.

Man...she just wants to investigate the shambling army in peace, but with great power comes great responsibility. She returns to Wei Wuxian, unless he has been completely surrounded by people with consciences at this point.]

Does this normally happen? It might help if we know what you were trying to accomplish or if this is abnormal. [It's a good thing she likes you.]

[chrysaline]

[ Wow Xiao don't phrase that specifically alarmingly... Psyche can't teleport, but you wouldn't know it from the speed of her arrival. Still visibly out of breath, ]

What happened?!

[dupiety]

[Here's a healer responding. It's Temenos.]

Oh dear. I'll be there momentarily.

[Thankfully he wasn't too far away, just over at the book café. He comes running over with his staff at the ready...and sees the dropped skeletons...]

What's going on?

[diabolizes]

Psyche...

[ Don't worry, he's fine! Just surrounded by skeletons and sitting on the ground.

...And coughing too, so much so that he hacks up even more blood. ]

I'm fine. Don't worry.

[chosenwang]

[ Ah, so fun. ]

I do admit, carrying you around is very tempting. I won't be bowing down to request it though. [ He does lean in to plant a kiss against his forehead ]

[diabolizes]

My cultivation decided that it finally wanted to work.

[ Also, he's coughing up a storm, blood spilling into his palm, which he fails to hide this time. ]

[chosenwang]

Not property, but maybe partner?

[ Give him deets honey.

Grinning at that as he grabs the glasses again and puts them on. He will even pose to camera like he's done selfies before. ]

Ready when you are.

[diabolizes]

[ He hasn't, not quite yet, but it's inevitable at this point. ]

It doesn't, no.

[ He frowns. ]

I could tell that I was able to actually summon when I started to play, so naturally I wanted to see where that would lead me.

[ And it lead to skeletons! ]

[diabolizes]

What a sap you are...

[ He puts a hand on Wang Lu's shoulder to steady himself. ]

There's no need to carry me. Once I get past whatever stirred up this coughing fit, I'll be fine to run around like usual.

[chrysaline]

[ Unless the skeletons need healing, this ain't about them.

She rushes over to him, stepping around skeletons as needed, and sinks down beside him to reach over and put a hand on his chest. ]

Don't lie to me. And don't talk for a moment.

[diabolizes]

[ ...Well then. That at least gets him to shut up, and now that she's closer she can see that his tongue has turned black.

Hm.

He'll wait for her to heal him, sitting as still as he can and suppressing any coughs that try to surface. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Just for the sap comment... ]

There might not be a need, but there is certainly a want. You can always run around like usual later, but I am quite determined to be selfish. [ He really isn't asking, and he will move his arms to capture Wei Wuxian's lower back and legs to pick him. How does he feel about the bridal carry? ]

Will healing do anything to you or will it hurt?

[dupiety]

I would say this is quite the time to finally learn about this cultivation of yours, but I think it best for you to stop talking and let us work.

[Coughing up blood is Bad, after all.

Anyway, he gives Psyche plenty of room to use her healing while he chants a prayer of his own. As he holds a palm near Wei Wuxian, a warm light begins to glow from it.

The question is: will it have an effect?]

[diabolizes]

Healing with spiritual energy will do nothing.

[ For Reasons, which he's sure Wang Lu can make a guess for at this point.

The bridal carry itself doesn't bother him, but... ]

I think you should put me down. I don't want to get blood all over your robes if I cough again.

[dakicover]

I saw Temenos respond. What’s the situation looking like?

[finalmix]

[ BUDDY...... ]

Well, thank you for unearthing them, good to know that we had some skeleton friends hiding under our feet this entire time~

It seems to be taking a toll on you, though. Is that normal?

[ because it sure does not!!!! seem!!!! normal!!!! by this time xiao should have probably asked for a healer????? ]

[necrotiem]

How painfully anticlimactic.

[Literally painful, it would seem, in this case. What a pitiful result for what must have felt exhilarating to begin with, finally feeling the return of some power that had been unreachable.

Grimoire in hand, Quin crouches nearby but will at least let the good doctors get in there (she moves her lazy ass very willingly to make room when Psyche runs over, in particular).]

Well done, Wei Wuxian, but I think it's time to take it easy. A curse? [There, he can just nod or shake his head or whatever in response to that.]
