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.

I like to think she will be. She's the one who told me... a pawn that gets past enemy lines can become anything. [ Medea, who actually knows chess, may not have phrased it like this. But the essence remains. ] I feel like I'm finally deciding what I want to become. She's the last person who would tell me to stand in place and let someone else move me.

[ Somewhat literally, in this case. Psyche lets out a slow sigh and nods. ]

Doctor Baizhu said there wasn't anything wrong with my heart. So it should be alright for me to call her one more time.

[necrotiem]

"Tell her that I'd like a chance for us to meet again, in quieter circumstances." She did say that. In the event we can have not both nor either...

... No. there is naught elsewise to be added.

[She can think of nothing to add, unable even now to access a reckless outpouring of sentiment.

At the mention of Psyche's heart, she nods.] Now that we know for certain, we can always see if you can do to other machines what you managed with vehicles.

[chrysaline]

[ They're running out of time, aren't they? In so many ways. Psyche nods again. ]

If we have a chance, I'll try to give you both that.

[ Quieter circumstances... it's a shame that this is the best they can do, isn't it? Hoping for a later is reckless. ]

I've never seen it have that effect before. But Vasilios doesn't have machines like that. I'll see if I can test it a little, before everything starts.

[necrotiem]

Should we sojourn to the mini-golf course and try it on the vehicles there? It might do us some good to hit things into the water. [She is only joking, of course - though they should probably not forget they have things that can be driven off-road.]

[chrysaline]

Well, it might be good to know before we need it. ...And to hit things into the water a little.

[ She might be joking. Most likely. But if they both could use a little stress relief before the big confrontation, who could blame them? ]

[necrotiem]

Hehehehe, essential preparations for all endeavors.

[They went and did this, didn't they.]
