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.

[ an earflick, with no immediately recognizable emotion behind it. ]

Merlin's convinced it's technology, and he's not the only one. We don't know if it was a one and done thing that just lets them flip a switch whenever they want to turn our powers even more off, or if it's something they have to like... maintain and control.

If it's the latter, then maybe if we can get access to that, we can disable it...? That's a pretty big if though, is the thing. What were we thinking the other day? That they did it to all of us when we got here? So maybe in one of the places on the map...

[ intake lab, open-plan research lab, SP. one of those sounds like they're probably the best bet? magolor would hazard the intake lab and whatever SP is over the research one. ]

I dabble in a couple of different things, but my specialty as a mage is in dimensions. You all have seen me vanishing from place to place already, but with the way things are I still need a clear path to do it. If we could do something about those limitations I might be able to get people in and out of harder to access places a little more easily because normally I can sort of... sidestep certain doors, and such.

[ noclipping your way through obstacles for fun and profit. ]

[dancing_flames]

If you can get me there, I can destroy it. I can target explosions in any space I'm familiar with, which unfortunately rules out any of those new places on the map until I've been there to see them for myself.

[microtransactions]

... Even if you're further away?

[ huh! ]

What would you say your range limitation is? I don't know if destroying it is the best idea straight off the bat, just on the off chance that doing that like, locks in whatever state it was last which means we all stay limited, but if we did a quick tour of the place and then sent you back to— I don't know, be at the front handling Nomu or whatever.

Would you be still able to blow it up if it turns out we really should just blow it up, and we gave you a signal from afar?

[dancing_flames]

I wouldn't be surprised if this place also placed some sort of limitations on the distance, but under normal circumstances the range is any spatial coordinates that I know, regardless of how close or how far away I am from those coordinates.

[Like, he's targeted someone on the ground from his airship before.]

Theoretically, I should be able to do exactly what you're asking. Whether that's the actual case in practice remains to be seen.

[microtransactions]

Right, right, so if we yell for you to give us an explosion and it doesn't happen, improvise. ✩

[ they will be doing so much improvising because as we know oocly, endgame will probably be a mad scramble. icly they can attempt to kind of sort of plan all they want. ]

Got it!

[dancing_flames]

Good thing that's what I do best.

[He's still proud of the tricks he managed to pull on Deep Snow!]

[chrysaline]

[ It's still wishful thinking, but if Magolor is on the problem, then maybe? She nods. ]

I wouldn't want to count on it. But it would help a lot if we could. And then we'd have a way in that wouldn't break anything until we mean to.

[ Look at her not looking at Shuda as she says this........ ]

If we can get our powers back properly, I can heal through most things. [ Like a tiny, bubbly Wolverine! ] I can heal anyone standing close enough to me, too. I'll run out of energy eventually, but... the bigger problem is that if I'm about to die, Medea will take my place. For Medea, well... our world doesn't have technology like this, but she does know about a lot of things. If we need a second specialist on herbs and chemicals, she can do that. She's a strong fighter and a good shot. But we won't have my divinity until I return.

[ She's not really going into her smiting, it seems like they have enough people who blow things up. ]

[microtransactions]

[ a tiny, cute, bubbly wolverine... he just nods cheerfully at her. ]

That sounds pretty useful, basically just having a healing aura... Oh yeah.

[ that reminds him! ]

I know everyone here knows I can heal folks, but I do want to let people know not to rely on it too much. Treat it as a limited resource, because that's what it will be! I know I can get around pretty quickly, but I still can't heal at a range if you get pinned down or something, so just take that into account!

[ that means you, general meat tanks in the audience, though they don't. really seem to have many left. ]

As far as other limits go ... Well, it'd be nice if we could get them removed, but outside of being able to take half a step outside of reality for a bit it really would just mean I'd be able to do more damage than I already can. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I like to think I'm no slouch in the offensive magic department. It might be that I'd have to be careful not to do too much damage, ehe...

[ fire and lightning, wind and tears in reality, black holes, giant lasers, even bigger swords, oh my; ]
