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.

[ He can get an ego boost as a tweat ]

You're always asking how we're doing or information about us. Why don't we start with you? How are you doing? I do hope you aren't missing me too much.

[diabolizes]

[ Just… smacking him on the shoulder. ]

Wang Lu can’t answer a question directly so I’ll do it for him. He’s doing alright, Merlin.

[chosenwang]

[ Hey Honey ]

First Psyche and now you. [ This is partner abuse! ]

[diabolizes]

I told you I would squeeze every bit of honesty out of you, didn’t I?

[chosenwang]

What part of it wasn't honest? I was going to answer. [ Maybe. ]

[diabolizes]

[ He clicks his tongue. ]

Were you really? You completely avoided the question.

[ And with that, Wei Wuxian reaches out to pinch his side. Punishment. ]

[chosenwang]

[ ABUSE! He'll reach up to tug lightly on his "rabbit ears" ]

It isn't like it would be new information for him. He has seen what we all have been up to, and I'm sure it's been hard to keep his eyes off of someone so good looking.

[ He will put an arm around Wei Wuxian though. ]

You are right. I am doing fine and even much better than fine because I have a couple of devious people at my side.

[finalmix]

[ not here, but clearly wang lu has a Type ]

[chosenwang]

[ Shhh ]

[chrysaline]

[ Imagine Wei Wuxian being the responsible one here? She's giggling a little. ]

[diabolizes]

[ can you believe Wang Lu has forced him to be responsible? smh my head ]

[chosenwang]

[ Psyche! He's being abused! :< :< :< ]

[chrysaline]

[ She happens to know he kind of likes that?? ]

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Okay, he's going to let out a laugh here. ]

I think I'll take your answer just fine, then!

[ Some things never change, but...honestly? That's good. That the events haven't darkened people's hearts so that they will find themselves so at a loss to forget to be themselves. ]

[diabolizes]

I’ll elaborate on it when we fully reunite. We can do it over drinks.

[ He’ll gladly spill all of Wang Lu’s secrets. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Don't betray him! ]

You seem to always enjoy talking about me with my exes. [ Once more, his tone is full of false drama. He can't take Wei Wuxian any where, huh? ]

[diabolizes]

[ He sure can’t! But he just grins. ]

Ah! I knew it.

[chosenwang]

[ Shhhh ]

You could always ask if you want to know. [ Though he isn't sure if it's a good idea to talk about it in front of salad and everyone ]

[mysticpowerbroker]

I won't say no to a round of drinks in the future!

If you're going to give details, I can probably trade you some gossip too.

[ He doesn't know what but ehh maybe WWX can just ask... ]

[diabolizes]

I'd like that.

[ He grins. ]

I'll tell you all about how sappy this one is [ gestures at wang lu ] if you tell me what all you've seen from your position.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Tweet tweet mofos ]

Do I?

[ Does he........is he more of a worrywart than he realizes? Then again a lot of stuff blows up so it's a natural thing to ask. So nahh, couldn't be. Absolutely positively could not.

Okay, yeah he might be just a tad, even with everything. Not like he's gonna admit to that, tho. ]

With other people watching over you and you watching over those other people, I don't think I have to worry too much. It is strange not being able to chat as much for fun, I'll admit that.

But a true reunion's around the corner, so now I don't have to be too bothered by it all that much. Only good things to look forward to now, you know?

[chosenwang]

[ They are similar in that regard. ]

You do. If don't blame you for wanting to hear all about me, my dear, but I would like to hear quite a bit about you. You never shared your hobbies or favorite people.

[ Merlin got all the deets from everyone but gave none in return. That's unfair! ]

I do look forward to you being back among us and safe. I'm sure many people are also looking forward to it.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Merlin laughs lightly. Fair's fair, he supposes. ]

Hmmm...

I'll start with hobbies, then. As a mage, I have liked to spend my time crafting various things from time to time. Potions, items, and the like.

Though I have thought about expanding more into being an idol just for fun. Who knows?

[ It sounds like he's joking...is he actually serious. ]

Yeah, honestly I was...kind of a little moved, actually. That you and some of the others would be glad about it, but it's definitely not a bad thing. Not at all.

[chosenwang]

There's someone else with similar interests. Have you ever thought about doing a collab? [ Someone as in Wei Wuxian ] I could see you pulling off being an idol. Not sure if it would be fair to the competition if they are against you.

[ Whether or not he's joking, he'll roll with it. ]

The great Merlin being moved. Sounds like quite the accomplishment on our part. [ He gives a wink, even if there's no one to wink at. ] You're part of the bonds here. Even if it's been a while, your presence on the network alone has made this place a bit brighter. [ Not to mention the hope that he has given them... but he isn't going to be sappy and touch on that ]

[mysticpowerbroker]

I've thought about those from time to time! They're rather popular, after all.

As for any competition...naturally I won't say anyone out there can compare to me.

[ He's like, .25% serious. He is not exactly the greatest singer. ]

It doesn't happen very often, so you all can bask in the accomplishment if you want. [ ... ] Well, I'm glad! I'll consider that the fact my presence brought a radiant light to it all as a bonus. Especially if it helped, just a little bit.
