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?

!

Well, we do have some limitations. So just about 40 replies each from us is all we can manage.

I wish we had more. Then I could say more to you. (◞‸◟；)

My, what an assortment of polls today.

Technically speaking, atonement is for the sinner. You are making amends for your sins. That does not guarantee that you will ever receive forgiveness from those who were victims of your sins, however.

[chosenwang]

Had a feeling it would be something like that.

As tempted as I am to hog all 40, I'm sure there are those who would like to talk to you as well.
All I need to know if you all are well

[ frowns at all of these questions, though the second one is for... different reasons... ]

1. In a word, *passion*. I need something to which I can *wholeheartedly* devote myself, whether that be an important mission with which I have been entrusted or a pursuit that I find personally enriching. Whenever I am working on a project, I try to always leave at least some part of it *unfinished* at the end of the day to ensure that I have a reason to get up the next morning.

2. Such activities hold little interest for me.

3. Ostensibly for both, but I believe the *sinner* is the one who has more to gain. In many cases, those who have had evils committed against them are no longer there to benefit from any sort of atonement in the first place, and to remind those they left behind of what has been *lost* may only bring more suffering. *Restitution* is another matter, but I would consider atonement to be largely for the purpose of assuaging the sinner's own *guilt*.

[prettywishes]

You really haven't changed, have you? That's okay, your seriousness really is a charm point.

Other topics aside, have you been holding it together okay?

[prettywishes]

I really don't want to miss out on a chance to speak to some of the others. But, I'll answer your question at least.

We're okay as we'll ever be. Those of you who are still alive don't need to worry.

[prettywishes]

well in case anyone reading is still an idiot here (likely), this is vergilius.

we're fine. well as fine as one can be. so don't worry about us

Hello hello, it's me again! Anyway, I was thinking about some of the things people mentioned last week at the swap meet (and even before that) and figured... Why not? I mean, it's not like they've made it so that everyone's started getting the right stuff every week, after all.

So! If you're game, you can respond to this with the kinds of things you're looking for! Who knows, maybe someone out there has what you're looking for and is willing to give it up! If you're comfortable with it you can also list the things you've got to offer and anyone interested might be able to chime in on that, I guess.

If you're not comfortable putting your requests or stuff out there for the world to see, which is like, totally fair, then you can message me in private! And if you're not comfortable talking to me, then you can send a message Wang Lu's way!

Either way, we can take note of what it is everyone's asking for, and if something else comes up that matches we can put you in touch with the other party or work as a go-between! If you've mentioned anything to me in the past rest assured I haven't forgotten about you!

And if you won't trust either of us ... Well, you do you, but good luck actually talking to people here and finding your stuff on your own when you don't even trust people this much, my dude?

[chosenwang]

I understand. With a heavy heart I will let you go.

Thank you for answering that, my dear flower mage. Say hello to Sonya for me.

Love, family, and food.

Over a hot meal.

It doesn't matter. A sinner might not want to be better. Their opposite might not want to hear an apology. Atonement only works if both want the change.

[microtransactions]

Is your reply limit why that last message of yours turned out the way it did, or was that something else that'll be fun and exciting to hear about?

un: bishopkallamar

[hearnoplague]

Perfect timing. I have two more items I am willing to let go of. You recall the items I asked you for last week?

un: patriarch

[diabolizes]

nothing in particular. sometimes it’s spite, other times it’s thinking of my loved ones. there is no other choice but to continue forward

the arcade, book cafe, beach, the garden. a date is made by the chemistry, not the location

the sinner

[chosenwang]

That is a relief to know.

I won't take all of your messages up. I know you aren't one to talk, but just in case someone wants to at least hear from you.

un: starfarer

[microtransactions]

And once again, one of these things doesn't belong with the others, huh?

1. Can I get away with saying friends, fun, dreams, a really cool theme park? The knowledge that there's always more to discover? Is that good enough?

2. Pass!

3. The sinner, isn't it? Whoever you hurt doesn't need anything from you, and they probably don't want anything from you! So in the end, isn't the idea of atonement pretty selfish? You're just trying to make yourself feel better.

Do whatever you want, try to make things better or up to people or all that if you've realized the error of your ways or something, but no one has to forgive you, and no one has to want to accept whatever apology you're trying to give! Be happy if they do!

[prettywishes]

Beel, it's been awhile!

And I'm glad someone still has his priorities in order! You've also been up to a lot, haven't you?

[prettywishes]

That's true. Even if the location is beautiful, without chemistry, a date will just wind up soulless and unfun~!

Though, I can't imagine you ever being unfun on one at all.

[hearnoplague]

What are these questions? Who is this?

[gluttoning]

[


Who the fuck is this.

Hold please as he backreads through a few people's comments--]

Merlin.

I'm okay. [lmao] Where are you? The Celestial Realm? The Devildom?

You can see us?

un:defaultuser3625

[butcherspice]

1. promise to keep, score to settle

2. your mum's house

3. depends. some things can only be atoned for by gettin even and the worst sinners don't have the balls to face that.

[chosenwang]

Mags said you were looking for something with gold?
I did get a crown and a golden shrimp.
Does either of those sound interesting to you?

[microtransactions]

I do! I haven't picked up anything like them yet, I'm afraid, but I think Wang Lu said he has something you might or might not be interested in?

[prettywishes]

I'm in the afterlife! I'll say the particulars are fuzzy for now, but...

[ ... ]

Yes! We can see you guys.

[chosenwang]

Not quite romantic and a photo would never turn out in that lighting. At a theater by a piano might be the perfect spot. [ Also he wants to see if he can convince him to play him something ]

[passetemps]

[ oh..............



he feels a little bad for getting snippy about those messages before now. ]

I would consider *resilience* to be something of a strength of mine, so you need not worry about that.

You can also rest assured that your mysterious *animal* companion is being fed.

[ ... ]

If I might ask, *how* are you able to communicate with us like this?

[ you're not being too subtle about your presence here, so?? ]
