WEEK SIX

16 Vacationers

Throughout your time on the island, there's been a steady rhythm; the murders, the trials, the executions, the clean-up afterwards that leave just up remnants for you to remember what was lost. This Monday morning though, things are different. The debris and any biohazards are cleared, but no effort has been made to repair the games at the arcade, or to restock the chemicals and damaged equipment at the laboratory.

Odd.

If you cast your eyes to the sky, you'll also notice that the distortion is also lingering—there's certainly less of it at least, a haze still lingering over the go-karts, one whirlpool lingering out in the sea. It could be worse, surely.

Though there's no new locations for you to take your mind off of all these oddities either. In fact, looking at your device to access the resort map area and scrolling past Kakapo's Nest triggers an error.

There’s one more, slightly more eclectic change: the kittybots, instead of having cute kitty ears and faces, are now without exception round-headed. This would make them look like ordinary robots, but their heads actually now look like a bowl of fish swimming, which occasionally form up into expressions. A change of pace for everything, it seems.

…So, were they just giving these to you so you could go around injecting whoever you wanted? Did you ask for that stuff specifically?

[butcherspice]

Well, yes and no. They'd give the final product to me if I took the liberty of testin' it.

What I specifically asked for was a way to kill any Supe no matter how powerful.

[diabolizes]

[ He just… laughs. ]

That’s just great, isn’t it? So? What was the plan here? Kill all of us and take that back home with you?

[butcherspice]

Don't undersell yourself, I didn't have a stake in killing any of you. Only folks that were just as vile as the guy I'm after are already in the ground.

The plan was to ride it out and then head back home. Birds already have their ticket out of here.

[diabolizes]

Do they? Fucking cowards.

[ He shakes his head. ]

So, what are you gonna do now if you don’t die right here?

[butcherspice]

Same thing I've been plannin' to. Wait things out until it ends and head home with the serum. If it works on Psyche, ain't got any more need to test it.

[diabolizes]

Use it however you want back home. I don't care, honestly.

[ That doesn't concern him, honestly. Cold, perhaps, but it is what it is. ]

So long as you don't use it on anyone else... I'll refrain from harming you.

[ More conflict at this point just isn't worth it if they want to leave. ]

[butcherspice]

Oh, I plan to.

[He gives a light scoff.]

Fair deal then. Long as I get through the week without someone punchin' me number, that's all that'll matter.

[This is exactly what he expected to happen if it ever came out, after all. Any lowered opinion about him is just a hazard of the job. All he seems to do is lower the opinions of people who expected better from him anyway. How's this any different?]

[diabolizes]

I suppose you should sleep with one eye open the rest of the time we're here.

[ But Wei Wuxian isn't angry enough to expend the effort of killing someone who will absolutely fight back, so at least he's off the suspect list here. ]

I hope you find that the trouble was worth it when you get back home.

[butcherspice]

Anyone really thinkin' of doing differently? We still got two killers walkin' around as well as me.

But thanks. Gonna have a great time.

[His tone is pretty sarcastic. Frankly, this is better than he expected since he's only bleeding a little bit.]
