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?

!

In the stars:
Compare your astrology sign with someone else, and find out if you're a match!

Say Cheese:

Hmm, you and Shuda could probably stand to be less cool.

[ why are you two like this, he doesn't get it??? ]

[diabolizes]

[ That gets him to laugh, followed by a little coughing fit. ]

I can't help it! When you're the son of a servant, you learn to feel that way.

[ It's also in his nature, but... still. ]

[divector]

[ Ibuki's eyes widen a little at that coughing fit, but he did say he'll leave it that...so he simply waits for it to pass. He's not really sure what to do here. ]

Ah, I guess it is hard to unlearn old habits. I haven't managed it myself.

[diabolizes]

That it is. There are quite a few I'm attempting to unlearn, but... as you said, it's difficult.

[ Namely, he's trying to stop keeping things to himself, but that habit sure does die hard. ]

[divector]

At least there's a lot of persistent people around you to help with that. There's still time.

[ He smiles wryly. How much more time, that is the question... ]

[diabolizes]

[ It sure is, isn't it? ]

There is. One day at a time.

[ That's all anyone can manage here anyway. ]

[divector]

...Yeah, you have a point there. They could at least give us more breathers.

[ Not sure how to feel about all this new info. ]

[diabolizes]

Not much of a vacation, is it?

[ In fact, it's a pretty shitty vacation. ]

[divector]

Hmm, you could say it's a learning experience? So maybe more of...what do they call those? A field trip?

[diabolizes]

[ He laughs. ]

You could say that. A terrible, awful field trip.

[divector]

Sorry to hear that. Will you be applying for a refund?

[diabolizes]

Of course I will. I could use money back home.

[divector]

Oh, I got it. For a "staycation" instead?

[diabolizes]

Actually, to help fund my group’s garden attempts. We’re trying to grow crops, but seeds are expensive.

[divector]

Even though seeds are so important?

[diabolizes]

They’re expensive when you have no money at all.

[divector]

Ah, yeah, that would be a huge problem. I wonder how much money they have in store for refunds then.

[diabolizes]

I’m hoping for quite a lot. I at least plan to negotiate higher if I’m not satisfied.

[divector]

Good luck, but I hope you specialize in negotiations.

[diabolizes]

I don’t, but I think I’ve got more than enough charm to make up for it.

[ As much as a gremlin is charming. ]

[divector]

[ give him a moment to think about that ]

Huh, would charm really work on them?

[diabolizes]

[ Give him a moment to think about it... ]

...I doubt it. They seem immune to it.

[divector]

It never is quite that easy... Time to find another way then.

[ If WWX seems good enough to keep talking like this, then surely they must still have time. Hmm, but maybe he shouldn't be keeping him talking like this? What is handling things. ]

[diabolizes]

[ What is handling things, indeed. Wei Wuxian certainly doesn't know, because he's content to just keep chatting while he looks like he's dying. ]

Seems like it. Why don't you brainstorm in my stead?

[divector]

[ Hamster wheel noises incoming. ]

Hmm, sometimes I can find the answer myself, sometimes I can't... I guess I'll just have to figure out which one it is this time.
