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?

[ He will give her a moment of privacy as she communes with those who have fallen. Once it seems like she is done, he'll walk over and pull out a familiar shell from his sleeves. Without a word, he will place it down beside her. ]

[idologue]

[ That catches her completely off-guard. She'd been set on doing her prayer business early and keeping her mourning out of other people's hair generally, but this....? ]

... you saved one.

[chosenwang]

It may not hold any meaning because it's without a recording, but that may be for the best. [ No twisted recordings or eating asmr here. So no reason for it to get smashed. ] He gave it to me at the very start of our journey here.

[idologue]

[ Lacus runs a fingertip over the shell. The texture has become so familiar already. ]

Isn't that meaning in itself? It's empty because there are still sounds left to find, there's a world out there that is waiting to be heard.

[ Lobelia won't be the one hearing or recording any of it, but even so, and empty recording feels a little like a promise of continuation. ]

[chosenwang]

[ There is something incredibly bittersweet about that. ]

That is a way to look at it. I'm going to entrust it's potential in your hands then. [ It's hers ]

[idologue]

Thank you. I'll take good care of it.

[ That's two conques in her possession now, two very different reminders to keep going and never stop. A kindness left by Lobelia himself and a kindness done to her by one who does not share her grief at all. ]

You've all been more gracious about my feelings than I expected. Maybe I am more pessimistic than I thought.

[chosenwang]

[ Crossing his arms as he thinks about it. ]

I won't make any guesses as to why you view may be painted with pessimism, but I will state that we are an unique bunch here. It also helps we aren't surrounded by extras with mob mentality. [ Whatever that means ]

[idologue]

[ ..... yeah, what does that mean. She tilts her head. ]

And how would you classify an 'extra'?

[chosenwang]

[ Whoops. ] Been playing too many games in the arcade lately. I mean people who opinions don't really matter in the end.

[idologue]

[ Lacus frowns. ]

How do you decide whose opinion matters?

[chosenwang]

Whose opinion would you like to matter to you?

[idologue]

That's a difficult question. On a base level, everyone's opinion matters to me and has to matter to me.

That doesn't mean it's possible to consider everyone in every decision, of course. But it's seems dangerous to consider an opinion to be inherently worth less.
