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?

!

[stilllovesyou]

I didn't know you had a boyfriend too!

[Nona can scarcely contain her excitement.]

[butcherspice]

[Wang Lu is here too! That's at least one more human actor in the muppet movie!]

[stilllovesyou]

The hatred or the suffering?

I'd say no to either, honestly... everyone's so unhappy most of the time.

[At home and here, really.]

[stilllovesyou]

I don't know what it is...

[But she'll hesitantly nod anyway.]

[divector]

[ He doesn't seem to mind, carrying on. ]

Got it. But I'll have to know your sign first. When's your birthday?

[necrotiem]

How else shall I continue to get your valuable input?

[She pulls up the Aries4Aries listing.] Ah, see here, These two are always competing, which can make for quite a challenging love match. How thrilling...but ultimately suffocating, don't you think? Knowing you can never be on top?

[He's welcome to keep browsing - it certainly sounds fiery but not like the worst compatibility.]

[stilllovesyou]

Oh, I chose mine. I'm a crab.

[divector]

Crab, crab... [ It takes him a moment, but he eventually picks out the right one. ]

Okay, crab, it is. [ He clears his throat and takes a breath before starting. ]

Take a moment to set clear goals for the day ahead, dear Cancer, as the sun and moon join forces overhead. This celestial exchange will seek to empower you, though it'll be important that you make a concise to-do list while acknowledging where obstacles may arise...

[microtransactions]

[ oh shit you're right. two humans and a sea of muppets.

the danmei might as well be a muppet though ]

[finalmix]

[ he takes a moment to figure out at least the basics of the rhythm, beat and chord progression, and by the time joshua joins in he's got a pretty decent supporting harmony to magolor's violin solo, and of course, once the violin settles, his own piano solo crests towards the front with a flourish, before fading back to allow zelkov and his guitar time to shine now ]

[passetemps]

[ hmm. he holds up a finger; give him a second to look. ]

...I... do not see anything with that name specifically, but there is cola of some kind, if you would like to try it.

[plunges]

[ This is so embarrassing, but also, this is Nona he's talking to. It's hard to tell her it's none of her business. ]

He admitted to having romantic feelings towards me, and I asked for some time to consider things. Eventually, I realized that they were mutual.

[ ughhh ]

As for your question, that is something that he and I need to figure out amongst ourselves.

[ And he actually needs more time to decide if he is. ]

[stilllovesyou]

Yes, a Coca Cola. [She nods enthusiastically.]

[stilllovesyou]

That's so sweet!

[Nona notices the embarrassment and decides to not press further.]

I wish I had something like that. [Not a boyfriend, but perhaps a wife, like Crown, or Camilla, or Lacus.]

Now it's my turn.

[plunges]

[ He's no expert at these things, but -- ]

You will be fine with or without one.

[ He gives her a nod, the equivalent of him patting her on the head or something. ]

Make your choice, Nona.

[necrotiem]

[Waltaquin looks up just to see the tail end of the freeze. She doesn't know what might have done it, and she's unfamiliar with some of the words in these horoscopes regardless. She's going to have to just keep observing.]

The crab? That suits you. [Nona loves the beach and the water, from what she's seen, but she's also like the crab in another way, the one Waltaquin really means: odd and ancient and strangely unchanged by the development of time.] Do you believe in these things?

[chosenwang]

[ Would Vergie be one of those tall muppets.
would you kiss a muppet ]

[passetemps]

[ ...well, then he will pour a generic cola into a glass for her and slide it over. ]

I cannot personally attest to its quality, but I hope that you will find it satisfactory.

[stilllovesyou]

[Her smile wavers a little before she moves on to considering the intense gravity of this question.]

Mm. Truth. [She's usually quite honest, so it feels a bit cheap.]

[butcherspice]

[Would YOU kiss a muppet mate. it seems like you'd kiss a dead muppet.]

[plunges]

...What is the best way to preserve your happiness?

[ Which is probably impossible, given everything that this place is. If there's something he can do, though, he'd like to hear it. ]

[butcherspice]

[Frankly, Billy doesn't even want to know.

He's going to start dealing cards now since we have canonized this. All three people in this round seem like they have good poker faces, so expect a long stare-off.]

[stilllovesyou]

I believe in stars, and I believe in crabs.

[She barely understands horoscopes. They were a thing back home, she's fairly sure, but she couldn't read so it never interested her.]

I don't know much about the rest...

[chosenwang]

[ he draws the line at dead muppet ]

[stilllovesyou]

...

[It takes a moment to answer. On many levels it's a question she doesn't know how to respond to, and doesn't even know what the truth is.]

Just be my friend, like you have been.

[She smiles, and it's a bit sad.]

You don't have to worry about me, Xiao, I promise.
