WEEK FIVE

21 Vacationers

The weekend sure was something, wasn't it? Tempers flared, explosions burst, and some were treated to an immersive sand bath experience. Come Monday at least, things seem quieter though not in the unnatural still way—the distortions on the islands have receded sometime in the night (with some impressive firework-like booms that may have stirred your sleep, at that; and the waves seem a little higher this morning) and the various amenities on the island have been made orderly again. Though, as always, some traces remain in the landscape; the waterfall looks like it has seen better days, though it's no longer in danger of coughing up debris on your head if looked at wrong.

This week like the rest brings new locations for you to explore, on Kakapo's Nest though it seems like only one of them really fits the vacation vibe. Hope you like snow!

wei wuxian-san, what the hell

[gluttoning]

Haruka.

Come on. You're not a joke.

[diabolizes]

i blindfolded myself as part of a contest in the mountains

[ this is the simplest explanation he can give sorry it sucks ]

a maiden pushed me against a tree and kissed me, but disappeared before i could take off the blindfold

[townmusician]

okay but why?

that's creepy as fuck

[microtransactions]

oooooh, spooky and mysterious. invites someone to test their bravery and try their luck at being the first person to be able to come back alive! and thus keeps the story going when they don't...

right, what kind of thing do you want to hear in return?

[townmusician]

who said i was worried about!!!

[gluttoning]

You cried the last time I frowned at you.

[townmusician]

i did NOT

[...Did he????]

[diabolizes]

really? i thought she was shy more than anything

closes my eyes (still nsfw i guess)

[townmusician]

i'm not venting any frustrations and i'm definitely not nearly as repressed as some people here

[gluttoning]

Sort of.

[He shrugs easily.]

I won't pretend to know the workings of it. We're not part of the House of Lords, or the royal family. They do the actual ruling.

But we owe a lot to the prince. Helping him with his vision for the future... I don't mind it. And it's important to Lucifer.

[townmusician]

dude no kissing someone while they have no idea who you are and what's going on is super creepy??

[townmusician]

but it's fun to tease me?

[chosenwang]

Sometimes it just becomes muscle memory. [ He believes you might retain some of it ] Who do you normally main? [ A beat ] Do you both main someone different? [ Does she also play? ]

[gluttoning]

You looked like you wanted to.

[townmusician]

that's just how i always look

[diabolizes]

you make a good point. i can't disagree with that

i did personally like it though

[diabolizes]

that's right! i happened to be the first person to come back alive of course ;)

i'd like a legend as well. something that has lasted over the years

[townmusician]

maybe you were just repressed

[gluttoning]

Sometimes.

If it's hurting you, though, that's a different story.

[diabolizes]

[ hm................ ]

that's possible

[gluttoning]

No it's not.

double nsfw across the sky whoa

[chosenwang]

you seem very interested in what we are or aren't doing in the bedroom
oh
is it that?

for Wang Lu

[dupiety]

[While taking a stroll through Flamechurch, you come upon quite the commotion down near village entrance. A group of insurgents have gathered and are shouting to passersby.]

Listen to me, you fools! The church uses the Sacred Flame to deceive us! But the truth shall be exposed! The purge begins here and now! Open your eyes! The truth lies within all of us!

You are the ones who must open your eyes.

[A man appears on the scene to break up this nonsense, immediately startling several of the insurgents with his presence.]

A Sanctum Knight, are you?!

[The knight gets in between the insurgents and the townspeople, drawing his blade.]

Newly anointed, but yes. [He continues:] Why do you rage against the Sacred Flame? I beg you, look inside yourself and repent!

You didn't say they'd set the knights upon us!

[Several of the insurgents flee, leaving just one behind.]

Y-You cowards! [The remaining insurgent yells, desperately looking around for a way out of the situation. His eyes meet with yours, and before you can react, he has grabbed you and now holds you at knifepoint.] I'll start the purge with this cleric! That ought to open your eyes! You'll see that the Sacred Flame protects no one!

How dare you! [The knight shouts, but is unsure how to proceed with this hostage situation.]

Oh, dear... It seems I've been captured. [There isn't an ounce of fear in your voice. After all, you're hardly in as much danger as it seems. This fool has bitten off far more than he can chew.] But while we're here, allow me to ask... You're a heretic, are you not?

...What?

[The insurgent is so taken aback by your nonchalance, he doesn't even manage to say anything else before you raise your hands in prayer.]

"O Sacred Flame, shine your light upon us!"

[The insurgent is immediately struck by a ray of light. With a startled scream, he falls to the ground, incapacitated.

With a laugh, you brandish your staff and say to the villagers:]

Behold the protection afforded by the Sacred Flame.

Ah, you saved us, Temenos!

Thank him, not me.

[You smile toward the Sanctum Knight. As the villagers give their thanks to the knight and take their leave, he comes over to you and notices something.]

Is that the Staff of Judgment? Are...are you the inquisitor?!

That I am.

My word...it is an honor to meet you! Only the best among us are chosen to assume the honorable role of inquisitor. I...I hope to one day join your ranks!

[He speaks with such passion... He's definitely newly anointed, that's for sure. As the memory fades, you can't help but find his greenness to be charming.]

[plunges]

Yes. It was...the Geo Archon, Rex Lapis. He's saved me too many times, by now.

[ Once is more than enough. ]

He's given me too many chances.
