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.

[ Shortly after Xiao is reigned in, a black blur streaks into the go-kart area, and hops up on the building. ]

This is one hell of a party, huh. Havin' fun? I'd say I'm sorry 'bout your ears, but you started it with that pop crap.

Anyway, just figured I'd say hey before you all really went wild. And since it was thrown around, I keep my word to my allies. [ That's directed at Billy with a casual wave.

That's all Shigaraki has to say apparently, though he's not leaving his perch if you want to say anything to him.]

[idologue]

'Ally'? Oh my.

[ There is a lot to say to Shigaraki. There is also nothing much to say to Shigaraki.

But neither the nothing nor the lot belong in public, so something stupid it is. ]

[handsheld]

Shocking ain't it? [ For once that's clearly sarcastic. ] Almost as shocking as you sayin' you're keepin' something from us right in public. But hey, use whatever you got left.

[idologue]

[ Though there's something teasing in her smile, it's still genuine. ]

You're keeping things from me as well, Tomura. That's the nature of the game we're playing, is it not?

[ And the finale is very very close. ]

[handsheld]

That's exactly my point, you know. But like I said, I don't lose anymore.

[idologue]

'My funeral', was it?

[ Just going to take that totally out of it's original context because it felt pretty foreboding even then. ]

[handsheld]

[ That's fine he doesn't seem to mind, and his tone is his usual one for better or worse. ]

Yeah, that's what I said.

[idologue]

[ Lacus decides that she's glad for it. She never expected him to be sad, not like she is. But it's nice that he isn't spiteful either.

This is just where they were always heading. And because it is, everything that happened on the way here is just as real. ]

Thank you for everything.

[ Maybe she shouldn't be saying this here, standing in the middle of everyone as they are picking up their broken pieces. But maybe this is the right place to say it.

They're all taking off their masks, after all. ]

[chosenwang]

Have any more art to share or just here to enjoy the fallout?

[ Hello you dog and bone shipper ]

[handsheld]

How am I supposed to show you ASCII IRL?

[ It's the latter, probably. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Lifting his u-pinion up ]

Feel free to send it to me.

[handsheld]

[ He considers that. ]

And what's that get me?

[chosenwang]

[ Isn't his attention worth it alone? Wao ]

Some entertainment before the end of our time here.

[handsheld]

I'm havin' plenty of fun already.

[ You gotta sweeten the pot with some ostrich inspiration, cmon Wang Lu. ]

2/2 oops!

[handsheld]

Oh yeah, you followed through on your end of deal, didn't you? The schmoozy tasks are preprogrammed in the bots' database. This place did used to be a fancy resort, you know.

[butcherspice]

[Oh, hey there, Shigaraki. He gets a lazy two-finger salute in return on that one.]

It's ally now, eh? My work ethic meant somethin' to you after all, how about that?

[handsheld]

Somethin' like that. And hey, they're not even gonna try to hang you for it. That's a W for both of us.

[butcherspice]

Not too bad a day's work. Got your winnin' formula, too.

[There's something different about the tone he talks to Shigaraki in compared to most people.]

Good thing we got it in three, don't think I'm gettin near anyone's rum in the future now.

[handsheld]

And that's all that matters, ain't it? [ A grin. ]

Here, anyway. Killing Homelander will make you real popular with some groupies, I'm sure.

[ He's just rolling along with this implication since he's in a good enough mood to do so. ]

[divector]

[ After observing from a distance with a bag of potato chips, Ibuki finally floats in, like a moth to a flame. His free hand rubs against his ear, an exaggeration of pain. ]

What's all this? Hearing some interesting things here. But for a moment, I thought I was being called for another fight.

[handsheld]

[ He laughs, easy. ]

I'll make it up to you. But no loot drops when there's no monsters to kill.

[divector]

Right, right. That would defeat the purpose of loot drops.

[ He laughs as well, a more mischievous grin spreading across his face. ]

Tomura, eh?

[handsheld]

[ A grin for a grin, as it tends to be. ]

That's my name too, along with the other one.

[ The one he's really only heard. ]

[divector]

[ And maybe should stay that way. ]

I forget a lot of people actually have surnames. [ Why did he call him by surname anyway? Strange in hindsight. ] Hehe, maybe I should call you that instead.

[handsheld]

Whichever you want. They're all me.
