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.

1/?????

[killerwaves]

[ Today...the garden seems different.

Almost radiant.

The creature is revealed to be Fou, who makes a small noise, and then...

There is some other strange feeling.

You realize that there is something else with you. ]

[immortalpoet]

[There is silence.]


[There's nothing here.]



[And then, there's just the very loud heaving of a very characteristic raspy sigh.]

Huh.

[gluttoning]

[Alongside it is... not quite a voice at first and more the sound of something crisp being eaten. But it does eventually hum in curiosity.]

Is it working?

[conchy]

[Something is happening in the garden...? Say it ain't so! Lobelia is here for, well, whatever this is— in the form of his voice, at least.]

How curieux! Perhaps we've made some progress in the right direction?

5/5!

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ And followed by this one's voice to join along this chorus of joy and happiness! ]

Hello, hello!

It looks like it is working. It's only natural with myself here that we made progress!

[ Oh, right. Other people are hearing them, so... ]

Guess who made something incredible happen again~?

[ ...Some things don't change.

Though, it seems for now the voices of those who have departed are now with you. Now, is a time for a reunion.

Of sorts. But, better than nothing for now, right? ]

[finalmix]

[ claps, because it is kind of impressive, especially with like ehhhhh half their powers on lockdown. ]

Bravo, bravo. Well done, Mage of Flowers.

I hope you all didn't miss us too much?

[immortalpoet]

You couldn't even get our bodies over?

[Says the very tired, exhausted voice.]

Whatever. At least we're not stuck in that forest like last time.

[gluttoning]

It really is like a telephone.

[munch munch munch what the hell is he eating its a mystery when all you have is ASMR]

Can they hear us?

[diabolizes]

[ Good thing he followed the little group towards the garden! ]

Hahaha! Good work, Merlin. I suppose a full revival is next on the list?

[plunges]

[ He perks up at the sound of Beel's voice, but he will address whoever's around from the other side at large, including Lobelia... ]

It's good to hear from you.

[microtransactions]

[ also slow clapping, but also. ]

... do you all need, like, something to possess, or are you just kind of astral projecting your voices for now?

[dupiety]

Well, this is certainly an improvement over text.

[It must mean Merlin's power is getting stronger...at least that's what Temenos hopes.]

[chrysaline]

[ Of course she's here. And give her credit, she's not crying yet. ]

I knew you could do it. You really are amazing, Merlin! And majestic, and magnanimous, and magnificent.

[chosenwang]

[ He is going to be looking around to see if he can find the origin of the sound. ]

Looks like you did something amazing, my dear flower. How long are you able to chat for?

[dakicover]

It looks like you did~. Not bad, not bad, maybe the power of friendship is as good as they say.

[ crea’s pretty happy to hear folks again, but he’s trying his best to play cool. ]

[stilllovesyou]

[Nona's voice, without any of it's usual cheer, comes through, though it doesn't seem like she was talking to the people on the other side.]

They can hear us? All of them?

[finalforte]

Kanon threw the very first party and it's important to be friendly with each other! So! Kanon thinks she should get some thanks!

[Nobody wanted this.]

[microtransactions]

[ that extremely awkward first party where everyone just vibed and bonded over making fun of kanon. that party?

hm, did someone hear something... ]

[gluttoning]

[from somewhere else in the voice realm:]

You did make really good drinks.

[finalforte]

Uh-huh! Because Kanon's good at what she does~♪

[diabolizes]

Thanks, Kanon!

[ He’s got mixed feelings for her after that whole trial and execution, but he’s just going to shove those aside. ]

[finalforte]

Much better!

[chrysaline]

[ Oh, guess who actually did, a little? ]

Thank you, Kanon. You worked really hard.

[finalforte]

-!

Yeah! Kanon worked super duper hard!

[chrysaline]

I hope you're getting along with everyone there?
