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?

Blueberry pancakes coming right up!

[ She's already got one out on a plate and a second is currently finishing in the pan, so she moves to artfully place it over the first and sprinkle the berries on top. There's a small sauce sauciere with with maple syrup on the plate as well, as an optional add-on.

It's nice that she can focus on arranging the breakfast while she answers the actual meaty question. ]

I'm alright now. I don't know when and if this sadness will pass, but I won't make myself feel any better for spending my days dwelling on it.

[dakicover]

That’s a really good way to look at it. You’re really strong, Lacus.

[ he leans back against the kitchen counter, glancing in her direction from the side, gaze wistful. ]

The sadness will take time to pass. Some days it’ll be more intense than others, like you might not be able to get through it. [ … ] But you will. I’m sure you will.

[idologue]

[ Strong, huh... ]

Some sadness may never pass, but it will shrink to a size that one is able to carry.

[ This is just one more bag of horrible emotions on the pile!!

Lacus finishes her work on the plate and presents it to Crea. ]

There you go. Do you mind if I join you for breakfast in a minute? I don't think anyone else is coming for a while.

[dakicover]

[ it sure is! you would think that the world would get sick of throwing bad situations to carry, but it’s like fedex at this point.

crea looks at the plate with a warm smile, and nods. ]

Sure! I’ll wait for you so that we can eat together. It’s much better with friends.

[idologue]

Feel free to sit then - I won't be long!

[ Lacus has already put better for a new pancake into the pan anyway, so it's only a matter of minutes until she can come over to the tables with a pancake of her own, powdered with simple sugar and cinnamon. ]

Alright, let's enjoy! [ and after a beat: ] I'm glad you were there for Nona when she needed you.

[dakicover]

[ crea sits down with his pancakes, waiting patiently for her to come with. it's only when she starts that he does, but immediately pauses mid-bite when she thanks him.

give him a second to swallow, lacus. once he does, he smiles weakly, shaking his head. ]

Ah, no... it was nothing, really. I'm not really sure I did much of anything.

[idologue]

I don't think it was nothing. And I doubt Nona does, either.

[ She'd been so distressed... Lacus keeps her tone light though, taking a bite of her own pancake in between. ]

Don't sell your friendship short.
