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.

. . .

That would explain the beeping that only some of us could hear, such as when we were summoned to the waterfall.

[chosenwang]

They may have picked a few us randomly to bring over there to clean up their mess.

[dupiety]

Zelkov's mess, you mean.

[He really shouldn't be speaking ill of the dead, and yet he couldn't hold back a quip.]

[chosenwang]

I still can't look at grapes the same.

[finalmix]

I didn't even see a picture of the thing but I'll take your word for it.

...Hey, if we have to fight another one again what's our plan of action?

[chosenwang]

I have a feeling that it won't just be one if they are part of the finale. If you're able and willing, want to disintegrate them with your beam? I could keep them occupied if you need a moment to power up and I'm sure Shuda would be willing to help.

[finalmix]

Hmmmmmmmm, since you asked nicely~ How could I say no~

[ that's a little bit teasing but he'll swap back to semi-serious mode pretty quickly. ]

They're weak to non-physical powers, right, so that shouldn't be a problem~ we might need to herd them together though, I don't think I can use them as many times as I could if I was at full strength so best to take out as many as we can in one go?

[microtransactions]

[ blandly: ] I can cast a black hole.

[finalmix]

[ hee hee ]

... You know what, that works!

[dupiety]

Oh, that is exactly what those abominations deserve. Very efficient, too.

[microtransactions]

To be clear, it'll only be good for gathering them up and keeping them somewhere for a short amount of time— I haven't been able to disappear anything here when I tried testing it the way I would be able to at home.

But if it works, it works, right?

[dupiety]

Ah. Alas, if only they could be obliterated outright.

Even so, immobilizing them would be extremely helpful. It was something of a challenge for us to accomplish at the waterfall.

[microtransactions]

Then I can proooobably help with that this time around. Maybe. Not like I saw one myself to know.

Though, if someone else wanted to take over herding or whatever like Wang Lu was suggesting, I could also switch over to helping out Joshua with whatever light show we apparently want to put these things through.

[dancing_flames]

Immobilizing them would make it easier for me to target them as well. Normally I can do that myself, but that's one of the things this place decided I'm not allowed to do.

[dancing_flames]

If they really have the power to nullify abilities, then I may end up being our best bet if they decide to use whatever that sound was on us again.

Like I mentioned yesterday, I have no powers of my own-- they all come from my Dark Bring. They shouldn't be able to nullify that unless the sound or the serum affects items as well as people.

[chosenwang]

I doubt they will nullify us for any fights that may occur. They seem to enjoy a good show.

[microtransactions]

Whatever happened yesterday... that was targeted too, wasn't it?

We all heard it. But only Xiao had anything happen to him.

[chosenwang]

It was. It's interesting because why would they nullify him in that moment? Why not let him rampage? Did they have to call attention to it like some kind of emergency test?

[finalmix]

They probably think it's too early for him to die from out-of-control powers and take the rest of us with him...?

[ because my dude that black karma thing sure did not look like it was a fun time ]

[chosenwang]

It wouldn't really be a finale if we were taken out like that. Unless they still need us for something more.

[dancing_flames]

If he had rampaged, would he only have killed Billy, or would he have gone for all of us after that? That may have been why they decided to put a stop to that.

[dancing_flames]

We can only hope.

[dupiety]

I almost couldn't stomach wine for a bit. It was absolutely tragic.

[chosenwang]

The biggest tragedy- my ex-wife without his wine. What ever would you have done? [ Maybe there are not-white claws he could have turned to ]

[dupiety]

Oh, I'm sure I would have survived somehow.
