WEEK 3

[pleasureislanders]

[When you wake up the following morning, the doors to the Adventurers Club are open. It only took you a horrible murder to get into the outside of the club, but finally you get some fresh air! Now that you’re outside, the gentle seaside feeling of the island seems to almost instantly soothe any anxieties you had about the previous days. And when night arrives, the island comes alive with music and lights and the island parties until dawn.

One odd thing everyone will notice, however, is that instead of humans or animals inhabiting the island, it seems to be entirely populated by sentient mannequins. They seem friendly enough, but they’re definitely creepy to look at for longer than a few minutes.

However it seems only a portion of the island is available right now. As you make your way deeper into the island, are large, impassable construction walls blocking your way. With cute little “pardon our pixie dust” signs! If you peer from the windows of the Adventurers Club, you might be able to spot the ocean....

Enjoy the sunshine and warm breeze if you can. Despite the new scenery, you're still not any closer to getting home than you were last week.]

Sea

[tadaishi]

[X-23 might find that when she wades out, there's already someone else hanging out in the water. He's missed the ocean and while he feels like he should be trying to scavenge boat materials, that can happen later.]

Nice, isn't it?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ oh hey what up, closest relative to her canon? ]

Yeah. I've never been to a beach before.

[tadaishi]

[Things the player hasn't considered until now: that.]

Really? Well, this is a good introduction to one...no crowds and...that's the only upside, now that I think about it.

[He glances towards the horizon.]

It's better when you're not stuck in one place.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ in fairness it is also something this player just realized

She nods. ]

A lot of things are. But this one is still nice.

[tadaishi]

Mhm. It'll be even better for me if I can find a surfboard.

[There has to be one around here somewhere, right?]

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

A surfboard?

[ what the heck is that, man ]

[tadaishi]

A board...for surfing...?

[And that's a circular definition. Let's try again.]

It's a foam board about this long [he holds his hand a few inches above his own head] that you stand on and ride on the waves.

[He gets an idea and moves to a patch of the beach near enough the water to be wet but not quite lapped by the tide and draws the shape of a surfboard to stand on and demonstrate how one surfs. It doesn't have quite the same effect and mostly he just looks kinda silly.]

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

Oh.

[ bless her she is trying very hard to picture it ]

And that works? You don't fall over?

[tadaishi]

You do. A lot. Especially when you're learning. Depends on how good your balance is.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

Huh.

[ She looks out towards the waves. ]

If I see one, I'll let you know. That sounds fun.

[tadaishi]

Please! I can teach you what I know, at least.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ She nods. ]

Sure. Thanks.

[ A beat. ]

Do a lot of people surf where you come from?

[tadaishi]

Enough people that they made it an Olympic sport about 16 years ago.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ Okay she doesn't know what the Olympics are but she can assume. ]

Wow. That must be a lot.

[tadaishi]

Several millions? Or a few influential people.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

I guess that's what it takes.

[ She thinks. ]

Is there... a game? If it's a sport.
