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!

Yeah, it never hurts to work on how you move your feet. It hones your sense of balance. Or so I heard.

[ He'll take a drink from his own water here too, because why not? He's feeling parched too. ]

Did a friend tell you that?

[divector]

tricks of the trade huh? maybe i'll try to figure it out on my own one day
i'm not wearing a bird mask though

[divector]

[ He closes his eyes for a moment, laughing as he continues the setup. ]

A lot of practice, huh? It's fine, having fun's the most important part.

[ Not like he's won his gaming challenges so far anyway. No matter the match, you might as well enjoy it. ]

[diabolizes]

[ He squeezes her hand gently.

At this point… he’ll tell her anything she wants to know, which is why he doesn’t change the topic. ]

The Burial Mounds. I was thrown in there and spent three months before I got out. I remember the smell and the anger and resentment I felt from within myself and all around me… but I only remember bits and pieces.

[diabolizes]

fascinating story

naturally he would grow vengeful. i imagine nothing good would come out of him being let out, however

his plight is one i sympathize with. what about you?

[microtransactions]

hee hee, you'd never catch me in one of those either

[diabolizes]

[ And honestly, that’s one of the things he appreciates most about her. In this sense, they seem to understand what the other needs, don’t they? ]

That it would. I do what I must in order to be at peace with myself, and above everything else… I’ll do what I can to live.

[microtransactions]

probably. if anyone ever wanted to apologize, it's probably too late for anything like that now.

it's a shame though, that even with that much power and i assume good intention at first, you still can't defend yourself if people aren't willing to like you. if you give them any reason for them to fear you, it's kind of sad, isn't it?

cw: general mindfuckery cont, vague body horror

[microtransactions]

[ you open your mouth to speak—

and your perspective opens up. it's not all so hazy, now. (wait) all of a sudden the world rushes in with a terrifying clarity. that's right. that's better. you have two eyes, unnecessary things that they are, and a mouth to see with. the world becomes clear. (this isn't right)

you open your mouth your mouth opens, but nothing comes out. no words, no pleads, no warnings, and certainly no threats. you are not armed. you have no weapons. you don't need them. you possess a power greater than what they could offer. as you gaze down at the creatures, your understanding of the situation slowly slots back into place, one facet at a time.

these four are in your way. they sought to stop you here, at the culmination of your ambitions. they are enemies (wait), and they will surely move to attack you if you do not strike them down first.

you call for your servants to come hasten to your aid. none will answer. they don't exist here.

a clap of your hands sends out a wave that leaves them reeling, scrambling to prepare a defense. another short gesture, and a void tears open, drawing them towards it and keeping them from fleeing or attacking you... for now.

> what will you do? ]

cw: panic attack

[hearnoplague]

[ What the?! Has he gone completely deaf? Why isn't he hearing anything he says?

Why is nothing working like it should?!?

Panic rises again. If he has enough power here, shouldn't he be able to cast offensive spells of some sort? Like a torrent of fireballs cast upon them?

Why is he getting conflicting feelings about these threats? He knows they will surely kill him, he knows full well he must strike them down.

Why does a part of him feel terrible for this?

More importantly, why would he ever need his mouth to see? He has two functional eyes, and if he ever lost those too for some damnable reason the crown should make up for his sight as it has been making up for his hearing--

But what is this power he weilds? He should be casting a violent plague upon these fools, not voids! What is going on?! ]

[prettywishes]

Technical difficulties!!

Back home, because y not? And since I can only respond one more time due to more limits, tell WWX maybe there can be an entire surprise party 4 everyone! Idk how yet, but... 🥳

[chrysaline]

[ It would be the Burial Mounds, wouldn't it? For that she'll tug him closer and wrap him in a proper hug. ]

It must have been... truly horrible. That's what he intended, wasn't it? I wonder if there would be any good in remembering all of it.

1/???

[chosenwang]

Saving the best for last I see. ღゝ◡╹ )ノ♡
I'll pass the message on to him.

2/??

[chosenwang]

It might sound a bit sappy, but my favorite food is the dumplings my mother prepared for me the last time I saw her. She told me dumplings were for farewells and stuffed me full of them.

3/???

[chosenwang]

I can't think of a favorite book. I've haven't been reading any for pleasure for quite some time, so if you have any recommendations let me know (ゝ◡╹)b

4/????

[chosenwang]

As for flowers. Hm.
There are these spirit flowers back in Lingjian Mountain.
They are white and pink and glow in the night. They are quite beautiful.
I think you would enjoy them.

[chosenwang]

Of course my favorite gift is just the adoration of my fans.♡
I don't need much else.

6/???

[chosenwang]

My favorite activity might sound a bit lame.
You have to promise not think of me any differently, my dear mage.

[chosenwang]

Do I really to say it? It's pretty embarrassing.

[chosenwang]

I suppose I could just this once.

this goes on and on and on

[chosenwang]

It's spending time with the people I care about.

[chosenwang]

Oh no. I think I got the shivers just writing that.
When did I become such a sap?

finale

[chosenwang]

That leads us to the last one. Favorite people.
Still going to be a bit cringe but they won't be here to see it.
My best friend Xiaohai is definitely number one.
Then It's Wen Bao and Liu Lixian.
Next is Gouwa who was like a little brother to me growing up.
I suppose I should add my Master to the list, even if she is greedy and likes to beat me up.
She does have a good heart in the end. And I wouldn't be where I am today without her.

[chosenwang]

if that's the case they missed childhood pet names

[chosenwang]

[ Xiao the grass muncher huh ]

Don't share his secrets on the network
He might pout where we can't see it.
