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?

!

[ Oh, that's not how it's supposed to work... Psyche jerks her hands back, digging her nails into her palms as she curls them into fists. ]

Temenos, what's happening?!

[ Wei Wuxian may still be on talking ban, she hasn't decided yet. ]

[dupiety]

[Oh, this is really bad.]

I don't-- [Temenos catches the concern in his voice and pushes it down.] I don't know.

Whatever this cultivation of his is, it's interfering with our healing.

[plunges]

[ And after Josh's text: ]

Going off of the profiles, it seems to be reacting badly to powers based on divinity.

[ Hopefully Crea will have more successful attempts...? ]

[dupiety]

Then that would imply...

[Ah. Temenos lets out a sigh and shakes his head.]

The other healers will need to make an attempt, then. Let us pray something takes hold.

[But maybe prayer is the last thing needed in this situation.]

[chosenwang]

[ Bingo ]

His cultivation relies on resentful energy. [ In vidya game logic, using light or holy on undead is bad for the undead ]

We might need him to un-shut up for a moment to see if he knows what we can do about that tongue of his.

[dupiety]

That...is a dangerous fire to play with.

[But he's sure Wei Wuxian knows that much. Hopefully the double divine healing didn't make things worse...

He looks over at Crea now making a healing attempt.]

Let us see what Crea can accomplish, and we shall go from there.

[chrysaline]

But why would that...

[ She doesn't know vidya logic, her world doesn't have necromancers! Her nails are digging into her palms hard enough to draw blood by now. But she'll give Crea a hopeful sidelong look. ]

[chosenwang]

[ He's going to take her hands and give them a squeeze. ]

[dupiety]

[Yeah...he understands the concern here.

He wishes things were improving, but...]

[chrysaline]

[ If he does that, she's going to start crying right here, and that would be pretty terrible! But she eases up for just a moment to squeeze his hand back. ]

[chosenwang]

[ He will let go of one of her hands to use his sleeves to shield her from the others. Giving her a tug to get closer. She can cry if she wants, he'll be there. ]

[chrysaline]

[ Well, now it's definitely too late to stop it. She leans against him and hides her face, catching a fistful of his robes in one hand to hang on while she cries quietly for just a little bit. ]

[chosenwang]

[ He'll stand still to let her cry however long she needs. He will stay quiet for a bit before he talks in a low whisper. ]

Maybe we should keep him on a leash, hmm?

[chrysaline]

[ He gets a watery little chuckle from the vicinity of his chest where she's hiding. Good man. ]

We really should. I hope you have some ideas, Wang Lu.

[chosenwang]

[ That's what she keeps him around for. ]

Maybe we can make a rope from some of the brightly patterned shirts?

[chrysaline]

I'm not as good as Zelkov, but I could sew something... [ Scrubbing her eyes, she lifts her head again just a tiny bit. ] ...Thank you.

[gluttoning]

[Jogging over here, he is not a healer and there are way too many of you that use the church but there's quite a crowd gathering.]

How is he? What happened?

[finalmix]

[ josh isn't like, right in the middle of the circle and is some distance away, so, semi-helpfully: ]

Glitch in the simulation, probably. He used his powers and they backfired and none of the healing powers work on him.

[dupiety]

[Temenos shakes his head.]

Not good. He says he was finally able to use his ability, and then this happened. No amount or type of healing is having any effect.

[gluttoning]

[...]

One he wasn't able to use before??

Has anyone reached out to our administrators to see what they had to say?

[dupiety]

Yes, he said it "finally decided to work."

[...]

I haven't had the opportunity, but that is a good idea. Could you, Beelzebub?

[gluttoning]

Yeah. Hold on.

[Uno momento as the player is busy but I'll get back to this with a /2 possibly]

/2

[gluttoning]

[He's shaking his head after a few minutes, sighing.]

No luck. Overhaul is claiming he can only take guesses at the problem without doing an examination himself. He supports asking Baizhu.

[dupiety]

Hmm. So this is something of a mystery even to them...

[Interesting, indeed.]

Let's see what Baizhu can determine, then. Thank you, Beelzebub.

[gluttoning]

[He's frowning at his phone as he keeps texting. But he'll nod to acknowledge he heard Temenos's comment.]
