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.

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. ]

[handsheld]

Really, you're still gonna go on with that?

[ A beat. ]

If that's what you wanna say, then do what you gotta. That's what I'll be doing, that's what I've always been doing.

[idologue]

I know. That's why I had to say it now.

[ It may be too late any minute now. She doesn't know what the next days will bring, what the nature of their final confrontation will be. She wants to believe there's a play she can make that will turn it all on its head, but maybe not.

Maybe this is all they've got. ]

After all, I'll be doing the same.

[ Friendship won't surpass morals, even if those morals feel like interwoven lines. ]
