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.

WEATHER ALERT:

Bulletin:
The current barometric pressure is 29.90 inHg, and is expected to steadily decline over the coming days. Rain and storms are likely in the latter half of the week.

Hi, I'm Magolor, and you're watching— (INTRODUCTIONS 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO)

[microtransactions]

All right, all right, I get it already! We're all just a regular bunch of definitely not way too paranoid social butterflies here, aren't we? Sure, the idea of taking the time to introduce ourselves again sounds good and all, enough to agree with it, but no one wants to be the one to step up first?

[ claps his hands. ]

Anyway, fine! Here we go! Introduce yourself, now with any extra frills you might not have mentioned before! Or keep it to yourself if you want, but know that we're free to boo and heckle and tease if we know you better than that now! And to get us going, I'll start us off!

[microtransactions]

Hello hello again, everyone! What you see is what you get with me, hee hee!

[ a brief hop into the air, a cheery spin and twirl while he's suspended aloft and a lackadaisical salute with a wink; ]

I'm Magolor, a traveler from afar who just wants eeeeveryone to be happy~!

... But I guess I do know my way around a decent bit of magic, sure. And I can't get enough of anything there is to know about the Ancients! ✩ I've told people I was a researcher before, and honestly I still am! But I also do all sorts of things ranging from engineering, to crafting, to ship piloting, and then some.

[idologue]

[ There they go. Lacus smiles at Magolor's whimsical introduction. It is really, really cute. ]

My name is Lacus Clyne. I'm the current Chairwoman of the PLANTs' Supreme Council - in easier terms, this makes me the current head of state of a large country in space.

[ She did say she was a 'former' idol, after all. ]

In my world, I am known for having commanded a renegade faction that took part in ending two large scale wars. I'd much rather continue being known for my song and fade into obscurity - but the world is not that simple. Once your name has come to mean something, you can't leave it behind or it will be abused.

[ Mr. Pink: ] I won't accept that!

[chosenwang]

[ That makes a lot of sense considering their talk about people's opinions ]

Does Mr. Pink have another identity? [ Hello ball ball ]

[diabolizes]

[ Wow, Magolor is so cute.

But he should participate and give his full introduction too. ]

My name is Wei Wuxian, and back home I’m known as the Yiling Patriarch, a name I did not give myself willingly. [ Just saying. ] I used to be a cultivator much like Wang Lu, but now I use resentful energy and the sound of my flute to raise and command the dead, ranging from corpses to spirits. I’m an inventor as well, but have yet to fully perfect any of the projects I’m working on just yet.

I also like spicy food, alcohol, and watching the sunset on the beach.

[idologue]

There really is something to be said for beaches. All these weeks here, and it's still hard to get tired of their beauty.

[ Raising the dead is out of her depth, she'll comment on this instead. ]

[dancing_flames]

Shuda of the Exploding Flames. Formerly the best bounty hunter on the continent, then a member of Demon Card's Oracion Seis-- their top six most powerful generals.

[His smirk is a wry one.]

We weren't exactly known for being nice. Our job was to do Demon Card's dirty work, whatever that took. And we were granted our Dark Brings in order to do just that.

[It isn't as though he tries to hide any of this back home, after all. Having a Six Star Dark Bring in the first place kind of gives his former position away.]

[plunges]

I am Xiao, the sole surviving yaksha, hailing from the world known as Teyvat. I protect the people of Liyue from evil demons and creatures. As a result of purging and slaughtering these creatures born from hatred, I've accumulated karmic debt...which is what manifested the other day.

[ Yeah. Anyway! ]

My profile states that I am disinterested in mortal customs. However, since being here, I have grown more fond of them. ... This may be one of the only times I will ever be able to try them.

[chosenwang]

[ Sliding over here since this is after family-gate ]

Speaking of mortal customs! [ He's going to lean in to whisper something to Xiao and hand him something if he'll take it ]

[chrysaline]

[ Introductions round probably makes it pretty obvious that someone snuck out for a breather. Whoops.

She'll be back later, feel free to bully her to do it properly when she tries to slip back in quietly. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Time to put up LOST GIRLFRIEND fliers around. ]

[microtransactions]

[ ?

you good, psyche? ]

[dakicover]

Well, I guess since we're going to try and do things via the power of friendship...

[ crea sighs, crossing his arms. ]

My name's Crea, codename 'Dakimakura Cover'. I'm a former hero turned spy after saving the world didn't end too well for my friend and I and we found ourselves needing a new job. [ he shrugs ] I'm a member of the Sleepiez, an organization that's centered around bringing equality to different worlds.

[ and you'll never guess how they do that. ]

Anyways, my interests are in craftsmanship! I really enjoy making fireworks when I have free time and also gardening, though world hopping doesn't give me much chance to do either.

[microtransactions]

[ yeah here's a vague callout/heckling, ]

Once again, it's time to find a new job!

[chosenwang]

Ah... as in the pillow?

[townmusician]

[He is just Standing Here, watching all of these reintroductions happen.]

...I'm Haruka Isumi, one of the centers of the idol group ZOOL, based in Tokyo, Japan. I have no powers because the supernatural doesn't exist where I'm from.

[Unless you count that time Riku talked to a ghost, but Haruka didn't see that happen.]

No need for extra frills, because I'm still exactly what I've been saying I am from the start of this stupid thing!

[microtransactions]

That you know of, anyway! ✩

[plunges]

... No, you aren't.

[ He's saying this like he's stating a simple fact: ]

You've come a long way since then.

[finalmix]

[ oh, so they're really doing this, huh. ]

Yoshiya Kiryu, but Mother and Father call me Joshua. [ hee hee. ]

I'm Shibuya's Composer. It's a little... complicated to get into the specifics but I suppose you could say that my day job is to judge whether souls who died in my city deserve a second chance at life via something called the Reaper's Game.

[ that explains nothing and I hate this canon. ]

[dupiety]

Hmm. What can I say now that I hadn't already...?

[It feels like so long ago since he broke the ice to get people talking during their very first meeting.

Eh, he'll just start from the top.]

My name is Temenos Mistral. When this all first began, I was a cleric and inquisitor for the Order of the Sacred Flame, which is the primary religion of my homeland, Solistia. I have since decided to resign from that position, but I would still be happy to answer any questions that you may have about the Order and its gods.

While I was inquisitor, I was tasked with investigating any cases of heresy against the church. I had recently closed a case involving a series of murders committed by a cult known as the Moonshade Order, and I intend to look further into them once I return home.

I am a lover of mysteries first and foremost, even when not on the job. I do have a few creative pursuits though, I suppose.

The only other notable thing I can think to mention is that before all of this, I was with a group of seven other travelers like myself, and I had been assisting them on their own journeys.

[necrotiem]

[She's gone too by the way, though she was quiet for a while before introductions started.

Will she return? Find out next time on the Disney Channel.]

[divector]

[ Unfortunately for him, currently too bored with the meeting to really humor most people here. Something about that makes him feel closer with Yukinami. But since Magolor asked, he'll throw out something instead of simply leaving to get snacks. ]

Sometimes Ibuki, sometimes Moravia. I live with Vectors in a colony named Tau. While I don't dislike the people here, that doesn't equal like. [ Despite how the words can be taken, there's no hostility emanating from him at all. ] Based on who asks, I'll think about answering a question or two.

[ Based being the keyword here! ]

[chosenwang]

[ Hi twins! ]

I did want to ask something! Do you want to be referred to as separately or the same person?

[microtransactions]

Aww, and here I thought we were friends, currently-Ibuki. ★

[ he's kidding (?). no, definitely kidding ]

[butcherspice]

[Ugh, fine. He's on thin ice as is and he's supposed to dispel hostility for the power of friendship to bring people back to life or whatever, so might as well.]

Billy Butcher, normal human bloke who beats the piss out of bastards with superpowers that get too big for their britches.

Been workin' as part of a task force to tear down the company that makes and markets superheroes where I'm from for around a decade now. That's had us tradin' favors with a few groups in the past, right now with the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs.

Also cut a deal with our bird pals to speed up the process on that 'take out superheroes that are massive twats' mission and been chattin' with them for about a month now. Not married to that job so shoot me any queries on 'em that pops into your noggins.
