[ Hopefully everyone had fun on the Arco Lunar! The morning after the boat departs from the docks, a letter arrives to your mailbox: ]

Hello, intrepid adventurer!

I am excited to have you along for a group excursion to the mysterious new island! In two days' time, let us gather in the town square and set off from there! Please be prepared to stay the night. It will be so fulfilling and memorable for everyone to spend a night on an adventure together!

If you have any questions or concerns, please come find me at my flower shop in town or at the forest farm where I live!

Sincerely,
Oriphi

[ If she accidentally delivered it to a few wrong mailboxes, then... Oops!

On the promised day, once everyone (and likely a few surprise tag-alongs) has gathered or been gathered, Ori distributes little paper bags of snacks to everyone. Inside are cookies, oat snacks, and a freshly-picked apple from her and M-21's orchard. Do with them as you please... Just don't let her catch you throwing it into the sea or something. 🥺 ]

Alright. I think we should head out, then! Thanks for coming along, everyone! I hope it'll be a great time. Oh, and please don't forget to drink plenty of water and use this incredible ointment I discovered on this island! It's called "sunscreen!" Tieflings don't really get sunburnt, but you should use it!

[ And with that our intrepid adventurers set off to the mysterious, dangerous, unknowable... resort island! ]

( This is the ill-fated mass extinction memshare event. Please refer to the event for details on the resort and the plotting post for any specific details for characters' memshares! There are toplevels for each area of the resort (and for the memshare). Enjoy! )

1/2 surprise

[They've tread similar ground before, with Owen insisting that he'll just disappoint him. That he'll be happy to watch it happen, but he can't find that same assurance or that same glee in this moment.

Nothing makes sense. It's all out of sorts inside of him, tangled up like a ball of yarn, catching on the thorns choking the life out of him. If Otegine doesn't hate him, what does that mean for him? For them, for as much as there could possibly be a them? He doesn't think he loves Otegine. He's not sure he ever could.

But he...

He doesn't hate him. It's something else entirely, caught on all of his sharp edges and softening them. He wants to burn it all down. He wants things to stay as they are. He wants things he cannot explain and it frustrates him. Is this because of the Goddess? Has her influence changed him from who he is supposed to be?

All of this just because of some stupid party at the resort, but he supposes the past two months have been leading up to this. Everything keeps leading him back to Otegine and every time they meet things are different again and again and again. He remembers their date and how things had been, and he wants that again. He wants it but he doesn't deserve it. He doesn't need it. He's not someone who wants to be given things on a silver platter and to be treated like he's made of glass - he's too strong, too proud - but it wasn't terrible.

Owen stands there, past Otegine, and he cannot find the words he should say.]
