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!

There do seem to be quite a few recurring themes among us.

[dancing_flames]

Maybe you can call it team spirit. Surprised they didn't give us themed t-shirts, honestly.

[... Shuda no, don't give them ideas.]

[passetemps]

I believe the gift shop might have had that covered if it was something we had wanted for ourselves.

[dancing_flames]

Hmm.

[Says the man who absolutely did not appropriate a couple of Hawaiian shirts for himself. Shh, you saw nothing in the closet.

Too bad that this week's funky weather is intent on shaming him in a very different fashion right about now.]

... heh. It would pick now to do that.

[But if he's especially upset by the memory it chose to display, it doesn't really show on his face. It's not one of his finer moments, though.]

[passetemps]

[ hm. ]

So was this grudge simply a matter of pride?

[dancing_flames]

In a sense.

[The look on his face now is a wry one.]

I wanted strength, and I thought that was the way to achieve it. Haru taught me otherwise.

Like you, it was a path I chose for myself. I'm not proud of it, but I can't say I regret all of it, either.

[passetemps]

...That is not a mindset to which I have ever been able to relate.

[ he doesn't like fighting and really doesn't care at all about strength, so long as he has enough to carry out his duties effectively. that way of thinking is much more kagetsu's thing than his. ]

But if you have been able to use it as a stepping stone toward becoming the person you want to be, then I'm glad that has been the case.

[dancing_flames]

You're giving me too much credit-- I'm not there yet.

[Not until he surpasses Gale. Until he carries out the promise he made, he can't truly say he's done that.]

But maybe it's for the best that you can't relate. It takes all kinds, after all. Someone needs to be the voice of reason for the rest of us.

[passetemps]

Is that really what you consider me to be?

[ in spite of accidental maxeta crimes ]

[dancing_flames]

In most cases.

[MAXETA CRIMES ASIDE. We still don't talk about your son, Zelkov.]

Surprised?

[passetemps]

[ considers this cast.



... ]

...I suppose not.

JUST CRYING LAUGHING AT HOW PROPHETIC THIS WAS

[dancing_flames]

Good, because I'm terrible at giving pep talks. That's Haru's job.

[He's smiling just a little bit, though.]
