WEEK 4

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:

As long as you hold no regrets, then that's all that matters. Others may look down on you for your decisions, but I hope you continue to hold your head high in spite of that.

crying

[diabolizes]

[ He laughs. ]

I think I could, as long as I ask nicely enough.

[chosenwang]

[ If he gets down on his hands and knees and begs he'll consider it ]

[killerwaves]

[Baizhu can spot some signs of dehydration (dry lips, sunken eyes), but there doesn't appear to be any fever. The eyes are not discolored, but may not be entirely focused. There's no evidence of bites, significant cuts or bruising, though he can tell that the patient is breathing faster than usual and overall is somewhat shaky.

As for signs of pain, that's pretty evident when coughing occurs. He will not discover plant residue.]

[chosenwang]

[ They really can't take him anywhere. ] Think we can all squeeze into a bed or shall we make our own some where else?

[ He snickers at that. ]

I do mean it. You do get exclusive rights to it considering everything.

[diabolizes]

[ That gets him to laugh, followed by a little coughing fit. ]

I can't help it! When you're the son of a servant, you learn to feel that way.

[ It's also in his nature, but... still. ]

[diabolizes]

He knows why I'm making that face.

[ Probably. He's just obstinate, honestly. ]

[diabolizes]

[ wow, can't believe wang lu would do that to him when he's sick and not dying ]

[chosenwang]

[ like he wouldn't have done the same ]

[divector]

[ Ibuki's eyes widen a little at that coughing fit, but he did say he'll leave it that...so he simply waits for it to pass. He's not really sure what to do here. ]

Ah, I guess it is hard to unlearn old habits. I haven't managed it myself.

[diabolizes]

[ .........got him there ]

[solutionary]

[well, dehydration could potentially be from blood loss or the alcohol consumption, though those don’t rule out that it could a sign of whatever potential poisoning this is as well.

How’s his heart rate? Baizhu is going to get cozy and listen to his lungs too, might as well double check before he tries less mundane options.]

[chosenwang]

[ Air kiss at him hey baby ]

[dancing_flames]

Hmm.

[It's a noncommittal sound as he walks off to go search for anything odd.

When he returns, however, his frown will be even deeper than when he left.]

There's nothing out of place - nothing unusual - anywhere on the island.

[diabolizes]

That it is. There are quite a few I'm attempting to unlearn, but... as you said, it's difficult.

[ Namely, he's trying to stop keeping things to himself, but that habit sure does die hard. ]

[killerwaves]

[Always a good idea to get right up in there when the patient isn’t a corpse! His heart rate is fast and his poor lungs are in about as bad a shape as you’d expect for somebody who’s been continuously coughing up blood.]

[diabolizes]

[ Just pettily ignores... just kidding, he smiles. ]

I hope you've got good bedside manner.

[diabolizes]

...Thank you for looking. It seems like there's no visual problem.

[ SIGH...

Wei Wuxian joins him in frowning. ]

We can keep searching for answers as time passes.

[dancing_flames]

If it had been another one of those Nomu...

[He doesn't finish the sentence, because the ending is obvious. He could have fought it. He could have done something instead of just standing around feeling useless.]

[divector]

At least there's a lot of persistent people around you to help with that. There's still time.

[ He smiles wryly. How much more time, that is the question... ]

[solutionary]

[ah, intrapulmonary bleeding, something Baizhu is intimately familiar with. Sucks bro.

Other attempts at magically healing made it worse from what he was told, but perhaps the next course of action would be a slow application of Dendro, and seeing if that was agreeable? Or it could give Baizhu a better idea on what to check next at least. He obviously doesn’t exactly have his whole pharmacy here to work with.]

[diabolizes]

[ It sure is, isn't it? ]

There is. One day at a time.

[ That's all anyone can manage here anyway. ]

[diabolizes]

If only... it's a shame that there's no obvious answer.

[ That would make this much easier to deal with. ]

[microtransactions]

Well, it's probably not Zelkov because a bunch of us had those drinks, unless he for some reason wanted to slip something into just one drink for the fun of it ... and we all eat and drink from the same places.

[ hmm. hmm. hmmm. ]

... You think it's because you were playing for a while? Not because of your powers, I mean!

Just... if whatever it is is something that made you feel under the weather or like you were out too long when it was dusty, then maybe all that playing really didn't help when your lungs already weren't feeling great?

[chosenwang]

You'll just have to see for yourself how good I take care of my partners.
