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.

The "end" is in sight, Vergilius. Je promets.

[immortalpoet]

...

If it doesn't end, I'm going after that wizard.

[conchy]

Heh-ahaha! But of course! Those who make promises they can't keep should be punished accordingly. You'll allow my involvement, won't you?

[please wife, give him permission]

[immortalpoet]

[A little sigh like one would expect of a relenting teacher allowing a student ten extra minutes at recess.]

Sure. Should be fun for Merlin. I'm sure he'd like that.

[conchy]

[Yay! A little murder as a treat! You spoil him, Vergilius.]

Oui! It would be an exercise in bonding, non? It would certainly further his goals and provide us some much needed entertainment at the same time.

[Maybe they don't need to wait to start tearing Merlin limb from limb?]

[immortalpoet]

I guess if you put it like that.

[MURDER!!! GOOD FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!!!]

It would be better than the arts and crafts table he set up, anyways.

[conchy]

True enough! Maybe you should return to the table and craft a poème to lift the spirits of the living? They need our support as well!

[...Lobelia says, knowing full well any poetry Vergilius might write would only depress those who remain on the island. Sounds like a grand idea if you ask him.]

[immortalpoet]

Oh, please. Though it would be better than the utter drivel you write, Lobelia.

[conchy]

Si cruel! I worked quite hard on that poème, you know, but if you're so lacking in appreciation, then I will write one for the living instead.

[immortalpoet]

Do it. I'm sure they'd enjoy it.

[in the tone of "they will think its horrible"]

[conchy]

Very well! I'll do so right now!

[Horrible. Look what you've enabled, Vergilius.]

[microtransactions]

[ stage whispering to the crowd ]

Should we be concerned, or do you think this also counts as bonds for Merlin's whole deal...

[conchy]

[Guess who heard you, Mags!]

Oh...? Would you like to participate as well, Monsieur Magolor? There are plenty of limbs to go around, but you'll have to perish to get to them!

[microtransactions]

I'll pass, thanks~! I'm not all that good at staying dead when I'm supposed to be, anyway, and I'd hate for this to be the time that sticks.

[finalmix]

[ also stage whispering back ]

Maaaaaaybe, if this has been left unchecked for A While~

[microtransactions]

[ continued stage whispering ]

Maybe whatever happened that week really was like a romantic date to them...?

[finalmix]

[ more stage whispering in the house ]

I worry about their definition of romance but if it works for them it works for them!

[microtransactions]

[ stage whispering: the direct to movie sequel ]

Maybe they'll both keep each other out of trouble? That's what relationships are all about, right?

[ no, not really magolor ]

[immortalpoet]

[😑]

We're literally right here, you know.

[conchy]

Monsieur Magolor isn't wrong, is he? You would get up to so much trouble were it not for me!

[THE LITERAL OPPOSITE IS TRUE, LOBELIA IS AN UNRELIABLE NARRATOR]

[immortalpoet]

What trouble would I cause. Tell me, Lobelia.

[microtransactions]

I see, I see.

[ sage nodding ]

I understand completely.

[ DOES ANYONE ]

[microtransactions]

Only in spirit! ✩

[chrysaline]

I think it sounds like it's going well...?

[ Merlin better have suddenly re-learned running away from his problems smh. ]

[microtransactions]

I guess it's one way of bonding over things...
