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.

If you have a plan to actually take down Overhaul in a fight, then sure, maybe of use.

[ he doesn't laugh back. ]

I don't think any of us but Tomura knows his full capabilities. And he's not about to coach us on that.

[idologue]

Of course he won't.

[ It feels weird to talk about him so openly, now. ]

No shortcuts. No easy mode.

[divector]

[ no one ever really asked him! ]

No easy mode, indeed. A sidequest is acceptable though.

[idologue]

[ Lacus nods. ]

If it comes down to a fight, the last thing he'd want is to be shown self-righteous mercy. But an outcome that benefits us both... I find it worth the consideration.

[ And after a beat: ]

I still don't know what to make of you. But I've been quite rude before, and I'd like to apologize.

[divector]

I'd look up funerary rites for anyone who think that mercy will work.

[ he simply smiles. ]

It doesn't matter to me, so I don't need your apologies.

[idologue]

... I should have figured.

[ She feels like she's finally at least beginning to see what made that one specific relationship click. ]

[divector]

Is that so? No worries, I was never mad.

[ there's a reason they get along like a house on fire ]

[necrotiem]

That tracks. He did tell me that we have yet to see Overhaul lose his cool in the slightest. In short, we would know if he was bothered because the damage would be quite pronounced.

[divector]

Makes sense to me as well. We haven't managed anything that has significantly derailed his expectations of the outcome.

[microtransactions]

All I've noticed so far is that he seems to have to have direct hands-on contact with whatever he's remaking, even if it's at a distance.

But that's just from watching what he did at those two executions. And ... Beelzebub, that one time.

[divector]

It's a good start. If we knew how wide the area of effect is...my hunch would be that the sandbar is there for a reason.

[microtransactions]

Keeping all of us in an easily accessible area, conveniently within range, huh?

[ huffs a small sigh. ]

I really should have tested out what hanging out in the air would have made him do, that last execution ...

[divector]

[ sigh that was a time ]

Hmm, same. I wasn't able to jump when he pulled that move on all of us.

[microtransactions]

Whhhyyyy saaaaaaand.

[ annoyed cat (?) sounds ]

[divector]

Probably because it gets in everything.

[microtransactions]

It really, really does, doesn't it...

With the way he dresses, I wonder how much he'd enjoy having the same thing be done to him?

[ sand. glitter. whatever gets stuck in there and is impossible to get out. ]

[divector]

From what I can tell, probably not a lot. It might even make him angry.

[ hence the confetti card idea ]
