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:

You created that forest. For that I should have wrung your arm off.

[BINCH]

[chosenwang]

Sounds like things have been pretty interesting over there.

[immortalpoet]

I wouldn't call it interesting. Infuriating, more likely. And then boring for everything else.

[necrotiem]

Ah, hahaha, so you really were bored and not just trying to avoid seeing me.

[immortalpoet]

I think it was both, Waltaquin. I already have my hands full with Lobelia here.

[conchy]

Of course, of course! I'm doing my due diligence and keeping you well-occupied.

[Because Vergilius needs to be pestered and harassed or he'll shrivel up like a grape in the sun and expire. These are facts.]

[idologue]

[ ... cute. She's far gotten past the whole heart-carving thing and decided this is cute. Don't mind her smiling to herself as she is eavesdropping. ]

[immortalpoet]

He's treating it like his job or something.

[HE SOUNDS EXHAUSTED]

[conchy]

Oh? Is it not?

[heheheheheHEHEHE,]

I seem to recall a certain someone being particularly inept at tending to his own needs. Quel tragique! If I don't keep an eye out on you, no one will.

[necrotiem]

[She breathes heavily, which was probably the prefix to a laugh at one point in time.]

So I gathered. And not just him, surely. I imagine you've had copious amounts of looking out to do.

[immortalpoet]

What? No. I'm not your babysitter. Though maybe you need one, with how you all have been handling things...though I'm surprised you all haven't imploded on each other yet.

[necrotiem]

That makes two of us, hee hee. [she is on so many benzos rn dude and they can only do so much and this is only half a shitpost]

... I've something of yours. A photo. Would you like it, or do you prefer to forget?

[mysticpowerbroker]

Waaaah, it was for the good of everyone, you know! Don't be like that!

[ As if he's in any real danger... ]

[immortalpoet]

[LOUD GRUMBLING NOISE >8I]

[conchy]

You've work yet to do, Monsieur Merlin! I wouldn't be so quick to rest on your laurels.

[But with the constant threat of getting ripped limb from limb, Lobelia is sure Merlin will free them eventually. He's gotta.]

[mysticpowerbroker]

A great wizard's work is never done!

[ Y'all can't see this on the living side but he is definitely puffing himself up with pride. ]

Naturally, I'll ensure that the rest of what I promised will be fulfilled with certainty!

[conchy]

Oui, oui! If you wish to remain in one piece, you'll fulfill your every promise.

[Because Vergilius threatening Merlin with bodily harm just wasn't enough. Between them, Merlin might actually have a threat on his hands.]

But rest assured, I intend to give you every opportunity to prove yourself, sorcier clown! Don't let us — or the living — down!

1/2

[mysticpowerbroker]

With both of you coming at me, I think I'd die immediately if I broke the promise...

[ Merlin says this, because gosh. YOU TWO ARE MENACES??? ]

And I...

2/2

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ wait ]

Take that back about me being a clown!! Aah, my poor delicate feelings...how will I ever survive?

[conchy]

[Don't lie, Merlin. You can absolutely take two men at once.]

Heheh! You poor fleur délicate! Shall we pluck you to pieces petal by petal and see how much quicker your genius can work?

[microtransactions]

[ stage whispering part the who knowst ]

Did this actually become a three way relationship when we weren't looking...

[hearnoplague]

And how, exactly, was all of that supposed to help us?

[ He is bitter! How dare you subject him to memory nonsense! ]

[mysticpowerbroker]

Oh you know how~

[ Merlin just says, teasingly because he has not messed around enough yet. Surprise, time to be a gremlin again! ]

[hearnoplague]

Ugh... No, I do not. That was a painful experience for the most part. What did getting into each other's heads have to do with reconnecting with the realm of the living?!

[ GIVE HIM ANSWERS DAMNIT. ]

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ He laughs, he doesn't mind explaining this again, at least. ]

It helped strengthen your bonds, which helped me, of course~

Which you know what means for you guys, right?
