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.

(( OOC: Welcome to endgame week everyone. We'll be running an endgame investigation Friday during our typical investigation timeslot, and Saturday will be endgame proper.

Impromptu Thursday Meeting

[microtransactions]

[ some time in the morning after everyone gets those fun chimes to brighten up their day, another message shows up on the network. ]

Hello hello, good morning everyone, I hope everyone's doing well! ✩

So I bet we all heard those dulcet tones earlier, right? Found something nifty as a result? What say you we all hold a little book club gathering about it? Let's meet at the cafe at [xx:xx]~!

There's coffee and everything available there, but if you want anything else then remember to bring your own!
[ meeting... 2! at the book cafe! the dulcet sounds of classical music will greet people on entry, but if they take exception then the stereos and cd collections are right there. magolor's already seated at the bar, sipping at a cuppa while seeming to be very engrossed in attempted tinkering with his U-PINION. ]

Discussion

[microtransactions]

[idologue]

[ Sometime after it is presumably brought up that the administrator's aren't responding to being contacted anymore, Lacus is going to speak up again. This is under the assumption that they conclude they aren't being listened to anymore either... ]

You may have overheard me talking to Merlin in the garden yesterday. I'm aware that both he and a good number of you believe that killing the administrators is the only way to truly end what is happening here. That may even be the truth.

However, I would be remiss not to point out that there may be a different way than fighting both of them at once. After all, we know how powerful they are, even on their own.

Tomura hates Overhaul more than he hates anyone in the world. In the past, Overhaul murdered someone who was precious to Tomura - I've seen it happen, when Merlin made our memories melt together. Tomura has not forgiven him - he won't rest until Overhaul is completely and utterly destroyed.

The only reason he is giving his cooperation to Overhaul here is Overhaul's technical genius. He needs him to complete a weapon that will allow Tomura to reach his goal of destroying the society of his world. A goal he shared with the person who died.

That weapon was almost complete last week. They might be completing it right now. After it is done? Tomura is not going to take Overhaul's side.

[plunges]

I see.

[ This is...interesting. Very interesting. Still, there's something more pressing that he needs to ask. ]

What does he intend on doing with us, then?

[ He thinks he might know, but Lacus would know better. ]

[chrysaline]

I know it's probably unreasonable to worry about this, considering the position we're in. But do we know anything about this weapon they're making? Or what Tomura would plan to do with it, if he took our side against Overhaul?

[necrotiem]

I can't say I care what happens to their society. [Honest, straightforward, unrepentant.]

If that's our best chance we may have no choice but to take it. Providing Overhaul does not betray him first.

[divector]

Anyone in the world, eh?

[ ibuki's around, but not particularly interested still. when he hears that though he sips at his coffee and looks around the room because hmm thoughts. ]

...While I agree that Tomura and Overhaul will never be on actual good terms, that does not mean he will take the group's side against him.

[ more coffee sips. ]

[chosenwang]

Speaking of our hosts... has anyone been able to contact them?

[idologue]

I haven't tried talking to them since Monday... Are they not replying?

[microtransactions]

Hm? I don't talk to them much ... and figured any weirdness would be because I'm messing with my device anyway?

U-PINION fiddling + Some Billy-sourced Info with chai's blessing

[microtransactions]

[ chai is napping and will be back later for follow up therefore ]

Oh, yeah. Walt asked the other day, so I got a little more curious about if we could do anything with these, but...

[ holds up his birdaphone. behold, flappy missingo. ]

I've managed to create an abomination to flutter its way gently through the nonexistent wind of that little game we've all got, but that's pretty much all I've managed so far on that front. If we want to mess with the computers or network or whatever we probably need to get right on in there rather than hope we can do anything from the outside!

Other than that, apparently! Our friend Bills here has gone and visited at least part of their secret lab before, through a secret entrance on the golf course.

[ is that one of the ones that are on the map from this morning? oh well. magolor would be surprised if they didn't brick that up... or if they didn't, maybe they expect that to be an easy way to catch them all in one place? tunnel collapse sounds like such a fun way to go. ]

He's mentioned that he had to go through two security tunnels or something to even get into the lobby, and at least some of the doors down in it are locked via fingerprint scanner.

I guess it's worth mentioning that it doesn't seem like they're all that fussed by loose ends or the idea of Bills blabbing anything to us, considering they haven't done anything about him, and his visit was apparently nice and peaceful and not like, bag over someone's head levels of secret, so. They're probably more than a little confident in their setup down there, whatever it is.

[ or it's a trap. but they're long past the point of worrying about that now, aren't they? ]

[idologue]

And here he told me that he was not about to let any of us walk into their secret lair... Well, maybe the lobby doesn't count as the core yet?

[ Still, how rude of him to be so misleading! ]

A fingerprint scanner is an electronic lock... I don't know if Mr. Pink's hacking capabilities are powerful enough for that, but it could be worth a try in absence of other options...?

[butcherspice]

If they got multiple, that’d track with them not wringing their hands too bad over a hostage knowin’ where one is.

Gettin’ a feeling that the one I saw was mostly for the business table, and their goose eggs like the weapon and the way home are stuffed deeper down.

Mingle

[microtransactions]

[chrysaline]

[ They probably don't need snacks at these anymore, but she brought some fruit and pastries over anyway. Maybe people need more sugar to get through this. ]

I wonder if the book cafe isn't a little crowded for this...

[chosenwang]

[ His eyes widen and then covers his mouth quickly as he looks away ]

[diabolizes]

[ He picks up one of the pastries before she can set it down. ]

I don’t know, I think there’s plenty here.

[necrotiem]

[She's probably been neglecting eating almost entirely, but the fruit? We can probably stomach that.

Waltaquin flags her down.]

We may have need of her soon. Is there anything she needs to be told that you want to leave in our hands?

Swap Meet: The Final Meetening

[microtransactions]

[ since it's been brought up, it's time for one last swap meet.

magolor will be dimensional vanishing out of the meeting briefly when this is brought up before returning with some of his stuff in tow. if your character wants we can also handwave that he'll also port them back and forth as well in the interest of not having to walk all that way! mind your lunch. ]

[diabolizes]

[ Time to lay out his items! Wei Wuxian has:

-Tide Cleaning Spray Bottle
-Holy Staff of Anchordeep
-Electric Guitar
-Cigarettes
-Spice Girls Greatest Hits
-Holy Sword of Anchordeep
-Necronomicon ]

Show me what you've got too. Or tell me about it, and we can trade.

[microtransactions]

- round mask
- lots of spare kunai
- a flare gun for probably medea
- a paper charm that says MOVE
- nail bat

[dupiety]

[Temenos doesn't have much since he's kept a lot of his loot (and fed one to Beel), buuuut he has:

- our old friend the harpoon
- a red dog figurine
- some ominous crystal shards of varying colors]

Ah, this reminds me... Are any of you familiar with a unique tomato emblazoned with the letter 'M'?

[plunges]

[ I FINALLY REMEMBERED.

Anyway, Xiao will lay out the following items:
- Flare Gun
- Beige snake figurine
- Frilly parasol
- A tablet belonging to a "Ryan Butcher"

There is also a frozen longsword with an eerie vibe off to the side. If anyone asks, Xiao will say: ]

That is reserved for Shuda.

[chosenwang]

[idologue]

[ Lacus has... kind if just not been participating in these before, woops.

But this time, she's got some things to offer:

Fox Ears: A headband with orange furred fox ears on them.
Sunglasses: A pair of very expensive sunglasses. Black, glossy frame with square, semi-transparent orange lenses. "Majolish" printed on one side. Very flashy.
Book of Night: It is said that reading the teachings in this forbidden tome has caused many to succumb to a despair so crippling that they would no longer wish for another dawn. ]
