Week 4

[pleasureislanders]

[Well that was a fun trial, wasn't it? An innocent man got brutally killed by everyone, and while you found out more about the person responsible of all this all it really amounts to is "The Genie is insistent that you don't want to meet him".

And yet you took this warning from a powerful being to go "yeah we can take them!". Y'all oughta be ashamed of yourselves.

On the bright side though, when you wake up you will find out that more of the island has opened up! It's not much but at least you can wash your clothes.

... There is a nonzero chance that the Genie quickly built that as an apology for all that blood. Whoops.]

[Hmmmmm....]

The best place to start would be the trophy room, that has plenty of places to hide mechanisms that could open doors. But That might be too easy... maybe we should try searching some of our rooms, first?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

Maybe. It's weird that they had so many bedrooms just laying around in general, right?

[prodigalhairess]

Yeah... I guess if this was supposed to be some kind of hunting lodge, it would make sense. But it doesn't really feel like one...

[Not that she's ever been to many hunting lodges. But she thinks of the Snuggly Duckling; a tavern, yes, but it still had the feel of an off-the-dirt-road little setup where guys would come after a long day out in the woods to share their stories. This... doesn't feel like that at all.]

And there were conveniently enough of us brought here to fill up the rooms. Feels really suspicious....

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ X-23 frowns. ]

Do you think it was built for all this? The Genie's master would have to use a wish to make it that way, right?

[prodigalhairess]

I'm not sure... I guess it all depends on how much can be done with one wish. A lot of the stories about genies I've read have people asking for simple things, like "I want to be rich" or "I want this person to fall in love with me". Having this whole island and all the buildings be made and have us brought here might be pushing the boundaries of one request.

[Magic weird. She's been magic all her life and went on a crazy magic quest and still she doesn't understand it all that much.]

But if the master didn't ask for all of this... what was the point of bringing us here? Why not just bring us to a prison or something?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

Yeah... it seems like this place must have already been here. Maybe they grabbed enough people to fill the rooms, not the other way around?

[ a beat. ]

Do you think there used to be people here?

[prodigalhairess]

If there were shops, there might've been...

[............... Wait.]

Do you think we're meant to be... replacements?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ Oh that's a bad thought. ]

I mean... if we are, it doesn't do them a lot of good to kill us. But... what if what's happening to us happened to whoever was here before?

[prodigalhairess]

[Oh... oh no. She didn't even think about that...]

... Do you think it's worth a shot to ask the genie if anything like this happened before?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

I mean, it's not like his master could have spent a wish to make him not say, right? And if the Genie can't tell us anything about this place, then... that means it's important.
