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:

[ 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?

[plunges]

I don't know, but I assume this is Billy's. ... I should let him have a look, first.

[ HONESTLY. He should have also put this off to the side, but. ]

[chosenwang]

Probably for the best. [ Hopefully ]

[plunges]

[ Nods! ]

What is its purpose, anyway?

[chosenwang]

It's like a handheld computer.

[finalmix]

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

and picks up the parasol. ]

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

[plunges]

That's yours...?

[ Huh. Somehow he's surprised and not surprised that this is Josh's fashion sense. ]

[finalmix]

[ opens it with a flourish bc. why not. ]

Mm~ it's from a pretty popular brand back home, although it would have been a lot more useful when there was sun and not... whatever this weather is~

[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.]

[plunges]

This belonged to a child?

[ He doesn't like that!!!! ]

I did not look at it. I had no idea what it was.

[butcherspice]

Yeah, kids use ‘em to make films and paint now, tech marches on like a fuckin’ army.

[Billy taps on a random video file to check if it really belongs to who he thinks it does, and… he gets his answer in something he hasn’t seen yet.

Ryan must have still been working on it.

Billy quickly turns the tablet off and takes a moment before speaking, sounding a bit less harsh than he has the past few days.]

Hope you ain’t looking to keep this one, mate.

[idologue]

[ Lacus only catches the tail end of that video as she's making her rounds and... ah. That's... It doesn't take a genius to figure out who's voice that is.

She'll put a hand on Billy's arm. ]

... you'll get to give this back to him soon.

[ And then they can watch that video and think about Becca together, she hopes. ]

[butcherspice]

[Billy looks over at Lacus and nods. He’s doing his best not to get emotionally compromised by LEGOs.]

Right. Ain’t gonna take too long.

[Becca must have been right, Ryan is a good kid.]

[idologue]

[ The desire to give a middle aged man a comforting hug... She resists it valiantly, for his gruff dignity. So this remains as an encouraging smile. ]

[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.
