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.

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

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

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Good thing indeedy!

Fou is probably pawing at WWX's feet or something too. ]

It's always nice to be appreciated~

But yes, it is, naturally. I can't just leave you all hanging, with only our voices, you know?

[diabolizes]

Of course not.

[ And he’s crouching down to pet Fou. ]

I think you deserve a good punch for not letting me help you, and I’ll need you to be corporeal for that.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ As Fou is getting pet, he makes an agreeable noise to WWX's words.

What a little feral beast as always. ]

Ahaha, maybe when I'm corporeal I'll cloak myself in an invisibility spell to make it difficult for you to punch me.

How does that sound?

[ He knows it's a jest so naturally he'll play around too. ]

[diabolizes]

[ Fou is always right. ]

Then I’ll invent something to nullify invisibility.

[ He laughs. ]

I hope you’re well.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Merlin has some objections to that!! Anyway, at those first words, Merlin snorts inelegantly. He's missed talking to Wei Wuxian and some of the others for sure. ]

I don't know how I'm going to get out of that one...

[ But at the other comment, he's about to nod before realizing Wei Wuxian can't see that, RIP. ]

Yeah, I am. It's relatively peaceful back in the afterlife, of course. I've been busy watching you guys, or reminding the others of my amazing prowess. [ lmao ] I'm glad you've also been clearly chasing your happiness~

[diabolizes]

Ah, so you’ve certainly been busy! There’s quite a lot to watch around here, isn’t there?

[ And of course Merlin has to do a lot of reminding about his amazing powers. ]

I don’t know that I’ve chased it as much as I’ve stumbled into it, really.

[mysticpowerbroker]

Oh yes, certainly. Running a mass revival spell isn't so easy, and of course...there's so much that goes on the island. Even if I had my limits, I had to stay on top of things.

[ Of course...some things just don't change with him, though.

But on the other subject... ]

Hmm, that's definitely how it can go.

I think I can understand that well. There's value in stumbling into that sort of happiness as well~

[diabolizes]

[ He’s curious about gossip Merlin has managed to gather, but that can be saved for later. ]

I think so as well. I’ve even had a change of plans for what I’ll do when all of us get out of here. Perhaps I can tell you about that too.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ He'll grant him that for when they sit down and talk for sure! ]

...We can both talk about what we're going to do when we get out of here. After all, what if we wanted to send one another something for when we leave?

But, ah, I really do wish we could do at least a little toast to victory, but we'll have to do a toast to having been victorious when this has all ended in our favor~

[diabolizes]

Don't suggest that. I might feel bad if I don't have a gift ready for you.

[ Well. He does have that Fou plush now, but it's his... ]

I think a toast to a victory we've achieved is just as worthwhile.

[mysticpowerbroker]

Ah, well, it doesn't have to be something so big like that. Maybe like letters that can be opened later or something.

[ Easy does it...also, he has no idea just yet about the Fou plush. ]

Glad you think so. It'll be well-deserved...ah, it'll be nice to let loose after everything.

[ He's in the afterlife and all but you know. He figures the sentiment would be relatable! ]

[diabolizes]

Here I was, thinking you let loose by default.

[ Just... knowing Merlin's personality. ]

A letter sounds nice, though. I think I'll write one for you.

[ Enjoy his shitty handwriting, Merlin. ]

[mysticpowerbroker]

I can be a little subtle when I want to be~

[ Then after the other's done reading it, Merlin's letter transforms into a gift box because what is not doing something redonkulus...GOTCHA WWX- ]

I'll enjoy it, of course. Especially if you start it off with something like, 'Dear Magnificent, Majestic, Marvelous Merlin'...

[ Merlin will marvel at the shittiest handwriting he has ever seen since modern doctors. Romani's probably was pretty bad too, after all. ]

[diabolizes]

[ HOW DARE HE— ]

Hmmm, I could start off that way, but how about "My dear and very powerful friend, Merlin"?

[ Wei Wuxian's terrible handwriting is the real gift here. ]

[mysticpowerbroker]

That is also acceptable. It's acknowledging the fact that I am a being of unparalled great prowess, after all~

[ Nothing about that screams unparalled, but it's fine. Powerful is definitely suitable for him. That part isn't a joke. ]

[diabolizes]

Hahaha! This is why I like talking to you so much, Merlin.

[ Arrogance loves arrogance, what can he say. ]

I'll see you soon, letter in hand.
