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.

[Temenos gives Lacus his full attention for this. He's smiling by the time she finishes, eyes full of a familiar melancholy.]

Apology accepted, Lacus. However...

[He offers her a small bow.]

I too need to apologize. Given my closeness to Beelzebub, I did not treat you with nearly enough courtesy and respect as I should have. Regardless of the circumstances, you lost a loved one to him, and you had every right to be upset.

...I know I certainly had some choice words when I finally tracked down the killer of my loved ones.

[idologue]

[ That... went over better than she thought it would, and that makes her smile as well. There were a lot of factors going into this apology, but she was still fully expecting that it might be rejected wholesale. ]

Zelkov forgave him first - how could I not follow suit, in that case?

[ She figures it won't surprise people terribly that Zelkov texted her. ]

He was trying to help Beel, you know? They were at the lab because Zelkov was trying to subdue his rage mode and keep him and others from harm.

[dupiety]

[Temenos's eyes widen considerably, and his voice goes quiet.]

I didn't, no. That...changes so much.

[Ultimately for the better. But it doesn't stop it from being any less tragic.]

[idologue]

Doesn't it?

[ She certainly feels a lot more goodwill for Beel knowing that Zelkov had voluntarily and selflessly risked himself, rather than that Beel simply attacked him. ]

[dupiety]

[He nods.]

Thank you for telling me. That is one weight of mystery lifted off our shoulders.

[dancing_flames]

[... ah. He's honestly not surprised to hear this at all.]

You know, I told him on Thursday night that he was one of our voices of reason here. And then he just had to go and prove me right, didn't he.

[idologue]

On Thursday.... That was some poor timing, oh my.

[ It's funny in a sad way. ]

It's time for us to do him proud even in his absence - however difficult that may prove.

[dancing_flames]

[He nods.]

Believe me, the irony wasn't lost on me at all. But like you said, we owe him - and the other dead - at least that much.
