week one, monday.

[halved]

[asa is looking through the window into one of the little houses on the island, frowning.]

There's no one home?

[killies]

[ what up, she'll peek in too. ]

I haven't seen anyone around since we got here.

[halved]

Huh... Maybe it's more set dressing, after all?

[killies]

Maybe...?

I like it more than the village, at least.

[halved]

Yeah, definitely. It's way better than the village, hands down.

I wonder if we could start sleeping here...

[killies]

An overseer said this place might disappear eventually. I'd be worried about what happens if you're here when it does.

[halved]

Seriously? [THIS IS THE WORST NEWS...] Crap. We have to take advantage of everything before it disappears.

[killies]

Yeah. Apparently everything is in flux or something, so.

Stock up on clothes while you can.

[halved]

I will. We're never going to get anything this nice again.

[killies]

If the next place is better, I'll be shocked...

[halved]

It really feels like we can only go down from here.

[killies]

What's the middle-ground between as bad as an abandoned village and as "good" as a creepy tropical island?

[halved]

An apartment with faulty utilities and appliances?

[killies]

Eh. I'd take it.

[halved]

... Yeah. Me too, actually.

We could probably actually fix it, unlike some of the buildings in the town.

[killies]

Unless it was magicked to never get repaired.

[halved]

Don't give them ideas.

[killies]

No, it's their idea. I'm just predicting it.

[halved]

Ugh... Knowing them, it's going to be even worse than that.

[killies]

I'm not getting my hopes up just because the beach is nice. Could be a one-off.

[halved]

... It's better to set our expectations low, anyway.

[killies]

[ a lil nod... ]

And take showers while we have the chance.

[halved]

We'll squeeze every last drop of hot water out of them while we can.

[killies]

And then go back to smelling bad...

[halved]

It almost makes me wish they'd just put us out of our misery already... Almost.
