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?

!

[necrotiem]

[Oh, we don't like to hear that.}

Drinking with anyone in particular?

[diabolizes]

Wang Lu. Are you thinking he poisoned me? I can assure you he would never.

[necrotiem]

[She looks over at him.]

Hah. No, my understanding is that he's not the jealous sort.

[But maybe we'd better check and see how he's feeling? Wang Lu, wanna pull out your sword real quick?]

So perhaps not literally poisoned, but that your metaphorical leash tightened at the collar?

[chosenwang]

[ Asking a guy to pull his weapon out in front of everyone? Wow.

Wang Lu doesn't seem to have any ill effects. If they want to see his sword, it's small and at his side as usual. ]

While my zodiac may imply I'm possessive, I'm not the kind to go yandere on anyone or poison my lovers.

[necrotiem]

[what the fuck is a yandere

She does come a little closer to him and lean in (and up...seeing as he is a foot taller than she is) to make sure he is neither wheezing or withering.]

Don't mistake me. It's better that it was just one of us, but I don't love the thought of this becoming a mind-numbing puzzle.

[Satisfied, Waltaquin leans back, hands on her hips.]

Ah, does it really? We shall have to see if we're compatible, at risk of bringing out your vengeful side.

[THIS IS??? NOT THE TIME TO ASK THIS???]

[chosenwang]

[ He'll even open his mouth so she can see his tongue isn't black. ]

That is a fair point. I do worry about what might be in store of us later.

[ And he'll snicker a bit at that ]

We can if you're that curious. It would be interesting to see. [ Considering... ] I wouldn't get my hopes up for anything more than that though.

[necrotiem]

And it'll be a much bigger problem the next time you all go scouting under a waterfall without a suitable regiment.

[The mouth-checking has come full circle. It's nice to see that he is hale, hearty, and not committing any cannibalistic acts. She smiles.]

Oh, no, I think we've come to a mutual understand about that. More's the pity for you, hahaha!

[chosenwang]

Feeling left out were you? I'll be sure to contact you next time I hear mysterious beeping in my head.

[ It's all about heart stealing and not heart eating here. ]

I will try not to regret missing my chance. [ There is a joking tone to his voice as he puts his hand over his heart ] It would have been funny just to complete whatever shape we formed before. [ But that is in the past ]

[diabolizes]

[ Cheerfully: ]

He isn't!

[ Anyway, let him think of a suitable answer to that question. ]

Mm... perhaps poisoned in the sense of a hangover, though I've never had a nasty cough like this after drinking.

[necrotiem]

Nor I. [She doubts he's just the victim of a sickly constitution.]

You felt worse, but your skills performed better. [She taps her finger below her nose, pondering.] For some the consequences might outweigh the boon. You might also be a lab rat.

[diabolizes]

[ That gets him to chuckle, but he stops just short of a real laugh so he doesn’t start coughing again. ]

I wish they would share their results with me. [ He sighs. ] At least we’ve got some skeletons to examine.

[necrotiem]

You might be waiting a while. A good researcher never goes forward with results until they have conclusive evidence.

[She sighs. It's only a theory, and one she isn't ready to pursue out of paranoia, but if one were to test the limits of something, obviously they would start small.

But yes! The skeletons! He must not have gotten a chance to examine them too closely on account of the lung damage.]

I'm quite looking forward to getting an up close and personal experience with them. One of them has a tail!

[diabolizes]

[ He makes a face at the first thing she says. Boo. He wants to know now, but as someone who spends months cooped up inventing things, he knows how it is. ]

That it does. I hope you get good results from examining them. Please share, whether or not you do. I don’t know how soon I’ll get a chance to look at them.
