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.

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.

[necrotiem]

[wei wuxian, we have got to stop meeting like this.

She's looking at that book of the dead like a dog that's noticed you left your food too close to the edge of the table.]

[diabolizes]

Want this, don't you?

[ He holds up the Prized Item(tm). Will her eyes follow it too...? ]

What have you got? I'm willing to trade.

[microtransactions]

[ peering ... at the necronomicon

but only out of curiosity. ]

[diabolizes]

[ He sees you, Mags, and he laughs. ]

It's quite the interesting read!

[chosenwang]

[ He's just going to lean in and whisper: ]

Have you played a game called Sea Of Thieves?

[ There's a certain look he's wearing like this is probably going to be another joke of a certain kind ]

[diabolizes]

[ He stares at Wang Lu like "do I look like I've ever played a video game". ]

Hurry it up with the punchline.

[finalmix]

[ holds out fou plushie!!! ]

Do you still want this or should I hold onto it for Merlin?

[diabolizes]

[ Don't mind as he just grabs that...!! ]

I'd like it!

[microtransactions]

[ as for what random useless junk magolor's got:

- tide bottle
- egg shaped orb
- round mask
- lots of spare kunai
- a flare gun for probably medea
- a paper charm that says MOVE
- nail bat
- chunk of jade
- whip.........
- free mustache rides t-shirt
- shark kigu ★ ]

[necrotiem]

I don't suppose that jade can be channeled for even an iota of its power, can it...?

[She leans the side of her head heavily on her hand. How much easier it would be if everything that came from those cats didn't seem as effective a paperweight.]

That orb looks like a skeletal dragon talisman. [Also useless if you CAN'T SUMMON ANYTHING WITH IT OR MAKE YOUR DRAGON STRONGER!!]

[microtransactions]

I honestly couldn't tell you. I don't really do much channeling through gemstones, but my bet is that it'll be just about as magical as everything else that's showed up here?

[ so, not very. ]

Hm. I guess it does look like a relic of some sort! Glad we figured out what it is now, but shame it's prrrobably not useful...?

[ what if it is, tho. what if the mods flip a switch and laugh at us all ]

[chosenwang]

[ Ah. He'll pick up the paper charm that says MOVE ]

That brings back memories. [ hmmm ] Did anyone find any fox ears?

[finalmix]

[ steals a kunai probably ]

[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'?

[microtransactions]

[ blandly: ]

That's a Maxim Tomato, it'll restore anyone to perfect health when eaten no matter how badly off they are.

[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]

Does the tablet work?

[finalmix]

[ walks....... up.......

and picks up the parasol. ]

Hm. Not the parka, but it'll do~

[butcherspice]

[Billy looks over at the stuff Xiao set out, and his eyes are drawn to one thing in particular: the tablet. Mainly, the name on it.]

The fuck is this doing here? Who pops into another universe and nabs a kid’s personal computer?

[He picks it up—and the tablet turns on without much issue. There are a few files on there, but Billy is mostly confused by the thing’s appearance at the moment.]

[dancing_flames]

[Hi, he's here to pick up the sword!

And he will indeed quite literally pick it up, testing its weight and balance. This certainly brings back memories...]

... it's been a while since I've used a blade like this.

[chosenwang]

[ Wang Lu has:

-a warm crystal
-cube
-nail bat
-remote bomb detonator ]

[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. ]

[dupiety]

[Temenos catches sight of that book and just stands there in an icy silence for a good long moment.

...

And then he smiles.]

I see you've found some good kindling material.
