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?

2/2

[microtransactions]

Actually I might just explain it anyway for anyone else who might not know either in case they're reading this.

So you know how people can see shapes and stuff in clouds, right? Well, imagine the same thing here, but in how the stars are arranged! And then people made up stories about how that set of stars looks like a cool dude and the set next to it looks like a snake or dragon or something.

Anyway a sign is based on which one of the biggest, most well known constellations was overhead when you were born.

[dupiety]

Oh, this is very thorough. Thank you, Magolor.

[Sorry Wang Lu, he loves Deets.]

I imagine it may be somewhat difficult to translate Solistia's knowledge of the cosmos to what you just described, but I shall see if the new location has anything that might help me.

[microtransactions]

Best of luck!

[ since part 2 is finding someone else and seeing if they match, ]

[chosenwang]

[ It's okay, honey. He wanted to not look like a nerd on the network and is very happy someone is there to take the crown ]

[microtransactions]

[ listen he got called a nerd on their first day here so might as well own it ]

[chosenwang]

[ you do you nerd boo ]

That would have been very helpful if the constellations of this world were anything like those of my home.

[microtransactions]

I'm not sure that the sky here matches what anyone's used to, actually?

Like, it gets close but not quite, I think? But hey, you can read up on it if you want. There's some stuff in the book cafe but I'm sure there's stuff on the new island too, probably!

[dancing_flames]

So does it actually do anything useful?

[Where he comes from, you get an elemental affinity when you're born!]

[microtransactions]

As I've seen it? No, not really. It's mostly fun superstition I think?

But you never know, maybe it does mean more out in some distant reaches of the universe. /ᐠ 0ヮ0 マ

[dancing_flames]

Huh. And here I was hoping there might be an actual reason behind it.

Can't argue with being a fire sign, though.

un: WORMWITHPROBLEMS

[stilllovesyou]

But I don't know when and where I was born, I don't remember!

[microtransactions]

Yeah, that is a problem, isn't it? Here's my answer for you!

Pick a date that's really important to you. One that's really special somehow! Just one date in the year.

And you can celebrate on that day instead. I don't think anyone will mind if you pick your own? And if do they're probably not worth listening to anyway!

[stilllovesyou]

Then, I choose my half birthday. Because it's only a week away and I'm having a birthday party.

I don't know which star constellation was visible then though. Which do you think suits me?

[microtransactions]

Oh, if you already have a birthday, you probably should use that one. My advice was just for if you don't know what your birthday is!

For you, though ... Well, how would you describe yourself, do you think? What are your best qualities, according to you?

[stilllovesyou]

It's sort of my birthday. It was about six months ago.

I think I'm really really attractive, I'm hard working and I've got a very good nature.

[microtransactions]

Hm... well, six months ago if we go by the date here means you're probably a Capricorn - a sea goat, but you know, I don't think we necessarily came from the same point in our respective calendars?

But oh well, that's probably complicating things too much! ☆=◢(ゝω0)◣/

Anyway, hmmmmm! You have confidence! I wonder if it's a stretch to say maybe Cancer, the crab? It's known for being in touch with feelings and caring a lot about other people.

[stilllovesyou]

Well, it was early in the summer when I left but I don't know if our seasons are the same either.

Ooooh, I love crabs! I could be a crab with problems! But I do also like the sea and I do also like goats, so I can't decide. Is there a dog sign? I love dogs.

[microtransactions]

Not in the usual set you'll find in the stars, no!

I mean, you could make up your own if you want because that's how they got there in the first place, but then it wouldn't have any story most people would be familiar with, so they'd have no clue what you're talking about. Anyway, Capricorns are supposedly all serious and businessy types. They're hard working but that's like, all they do. Supposedly.

[stilllovesyou]

I'm very hard working, I have a full time job at a school. I take tinies to bathrooms, I walk Noodle, I put chairs on the tables, I don't eat pencils, I wipe the blackboard. It's hard work but I'm good at it.

[microtransactions]

You're right, that's so very hard working!

But here's the thing. You're fun too, right? Because Capricorn's aren't! They're all work no play super serious types who don't have time for fun.

[ wow this capricorn slander, hilarious considering— ]

[stilllovesyou]

[Wow, as a capricorn...]

That's true! Maybe I'm a goat and a crab!

[microtransactions]

You might be! But then we're getting into the more complicated stuff like moon signs and rising signs and all that other stuff!



Please don't ask me about those I bet there are books around here for it if you want to read about them.

[solutionary]

How interesting. It is not my area of expertise at all, but I have heard from others who study it that our Visions in Teyvat are connected to the stars. Not necessarily the ones you were born under but those that resonate with your path in life.

I have doubts that the constellations here would be ones related to the ones at home, but your knowledge is very much appreciated.

[microtransactions]

Glad to help! But you know... I'm actually not sure that the constellations here match anything at all, actually.

I've had a chance to check out the stuff in the planetarium, and ... the skies here don't even match the books here.
