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?

[ He's no expert at these things, but -- ]

You will be fine with or without one.

[ He gives her a nod, the equivalent of him patting her on the head or something. ]

Make your choice, Nona.

[stilllovesyou]

[Her smile wavers a little before she moves on to considering the intense gravity of this question.]

Mm. Truth. [She's usually quite honest, so it feels a bit cheap.]

[plunges]

...What is the best way to preserve your happiness?

[ Which is probably impossible, given everything that this place is. If there's something he can do, though, he'd like to hear it. ]

[stilllovesyou]

...

[It takes a moment to answer. On many levels it's a question she doesn't know how to respond to, and doesn't even know what the truth is.]

Just be my friend, like you have been.

[She smiles, and it's a bit sad.]

You don't have to worry about me, Xiao, I promise.

[plunges]

[ He notices the hint of sadness in her smile. He may not know much about Nona, what she's been through or who she is entirely. But...after everything they've all been through, there is something he's more certain of. ]

I suppose it's something I cannot help. I have grown to care about you more than I expected I would have, and the same can be said for several of the others whom I've met here.

[ ... ]

We are friends. Regardless of what happens here, I promise that will not change.

[stilllovesyou]

I love you too, Xiao.

I'm sure we all do. You're very nice.

[She brightens at the confirmation, it's not like she doubted but it's basically instant dopamine to her brain.]

Now it's your turn. What choice do you follow?

[plunges]

[ He makes a startled noise when she praises him. "You're very nice". He doesn't get that often, and he doesn't know what to say to that.

He'll answer her question hurriedly, because of it. ]

Dare.

[stilllovesyou]

I dare you... to sing me a song!
