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:

(REWARD: RARE!)

(Reward: Common)

[dupiety]

Ah, then I suppose I had better keep them off. We wouldn't want to cause more undue confusion.

[Temenos studies him, eyebrow wiggle and all.]

Hm. They don't suit you nearly as much.

[chosenwang]

While I do believe your demon is open minded, I wouldn't want to risk anyone else questioning your loyalties.

[ Will he ever stop causing the confusion? Probably not. He will give a mock surprised look. ]

Really? I thought I'd look rather dashing. [ He will take them off and fold them carefully next to the book. ]

[dupiety]

[He laughs, clearly fond to have their little talk with Beelzebub referenced.]

"My demon." [He repeats.] He is hardly my property.

[Even if it does have a quite a ring to it...

Anyway, he fishes his U-pinion out of his robes.]

Wait. Put them back on. You ought to at least get a look for yourself, hm? I am hardly the be all, end all of judgment...in this case.

[Holy matters, yes. Megane aesthetics, no.]

[chosenwang]

Not property, but maybe partner?

[ Give him deets honey.

Grinning at that as he grabs the glasses again and puts them on. He will even pose to camera like he's done selfies before. ]

Ready when you are.

[dupiety]

[After snapping a few pics, he hands the U-pinion over for Wang Lu to review.]

We haven't discussed that.

[He'll give Wang Lu an actual answer to his question while he's at it.]

[chosenwang]

[ He's a model. Or at least acting like it with each snap. Then he'll check out the pictures and their potato quality.

Time to lean in to his roomie and snap a selfie with him ]

You did discuss something though. That's a step.

[dupiety]

[Fine, fine, he'll oblige to the selfie.]

Which discussion are you referring to?

[chosenwang]

Maybe something about matters of the heart or how you both really enjoyed that kiss.

[dupiety]

Ah, so that was when you first noticed.

[Temenos, it was literally in the middle of a party game.]

I...never fully admitted to him that I enjoyed it in the moment, but I believe he figured it out. We both did.

[chosenwang]

It was one of the times I noticed you being obvious but there were little moments before then. Did you know you sometimes have an expression on your face while talking to him?

[ Like that whole maiden who heart skipped a beat ]

As long as it's mutual and you're both happy. [ He won't hear any complaints from his husband! ]

[dupiety]

[. . .

When did he start allowing his emotions to slip like that?]

Hm. I cannot say I enjoy having my own deductive reasoning turned around on me.

[chosenwang]

You can always blame it on our shared brain cell.

[dupiety]

Fair enough. I must have rubbed off on you over our time here.

[He jokes, but... He knows Wang Lu is far more perceptive than he would have people believe. He wonders how often the serious side of Wang Lu comes out.

He'll reward Wang Lu for his perceptiveness.]

I hope to discuss it further with him soon. After what happened at the trial, I...no longer wish leave personal matters unaddressed.

[chosenwang]

Maybe I should let you borrow my last brain cell then. I might level up to quite the detective then.

[ He's unfortunately the most intelligent and studious disciple in his sect, but he enjoys yeeting all his brain cells when he's around others ]

If you need me to vacate the cabana, let me know. I'm sure someone would take pity on me for the night.

[dupiety]

Hahaha. Would you be so kind as to lighten my load for a bit? I have grown tired of my duties as of late.

[And his time spent here certainly hasn't helped matters.

That said, he shakes his head and flips through the cookbook.]

That won't be necessary. I will simply take him somewhere on the island.

[Make a date of it, perhaps.]

[chosenwang]

No one would trust me to do any of the body checks as they would. [ sighing dramatically ] It isn't like I flirt with everyone and I certainly wouldn't while they were stripping.

[ You keep booty check ]

A romantic picnic perhaps?

[dupiety]

I believe I may have begun to lose credibility on that front myself...

[He wouldn't even be mad if no one wanted him doing anything after the last trial. He can't blame them.]

But, yes, a picnic does sound fitting...provided I am able to pack a large enough meal to satisfy him.

[Impossible challenge accepted.]

[chosenwang]

Maybe we should have Little Xiao take that over then. Imagine him asking people to remove their clothing.

[ It would be so funny. ]

You should borrow the go-kart. Let it be used for something good for once.

[dupiety]

I am shocked that you would suggest such a thing. Wouldn't that be indecent for his young eyes?

[...unfortunately, the go-karts idea is getting shot down immediately.]

Pass. Lobelia has forever ruined go-karts for me.

[chosenwang]

I have to let him grow at some point. He can't be our little Xiao forever.

[ Putting a hand over his heart. ]

Ah, that is true. What about a golf cart?

[dupiety]

[Best of luck, little Xiao...]

Hmm. A golf cart would be acceptable. It would make transport easier.
