Murder XIX: Trouble in Paradise

Upon being grabbed, Bowser Jr would immediate growl before biting Yato on the arm, causing him to drop the Koopa.

"I'm not doing anything until we play with toys!" Bowser Jr said as he defiantly placed his hands on his hips.

"Ack! Did you just...did you just bite me?!" Yato yelled as he grabbed his injured arm, before checking the damage.

tumblr_inline_ocfp4lOrtl1r3leyb_100.png


"Fine, we'll play with toys but if you bite me again you can sit in the corner and whine day and night for all I care!" Yato hissed. He wasn't even being paid for this, let alone getting any answers.

"At least wash your hands before we do that! You've been eating mac and cheese with those things!" he added.

"The soil here contains a special type of nutrient only found on Pinna Island: Pinnium. Large sunflowers don't need it, but both turtles and sunflowers do. As the turtles are stronger than the flowers, they can absorb the nutrient far better than the sunflowers can." The only resources available are flowerbeds around the gate to the park, the beach, and the crate the seeds are in.

"You can try talking to them...but careful not to anger them."

Rita Hanson

Rita paused and looked over at the women and listened. " Is there any topic that easily angers the turtle? I don't want to unintentionally insult the turtles."

"It's okay! I'll try my best to not bring up any topics they wouldn't want to talk about!"
Gon affirmed with a nod, his trademark innocent smile making it difficult (or depressingly easy) to tell if he actually meant that in a serious manner or not.

Braving to approach the turtles, moving toward them gingerly with a sense of care and restraint he didn't generally demonstrate when interacting with actual people, the wide-eyed boy gently waved his hand at the creatures. "Y-Yo! How are you today, misters turtles?" He inquired, though naturally didn't expect any sort of real answer, intending on his keen connection to animals pulling through again, and hoping that the creatures weren't so foreign because of this place that it'd be like speaking a foreign language.

Even though turtles generally didn't have a concept of language anyway.

"We're trying to do something really important right now, so just for a little bit, could you move over so we can plant some nice sunflowers? I'd really appreciate it!" He exclaimed to them with a friendly tone, gesturing to the side.

Two more teeth had been cleaned, meaning that there were only three left!

"Keep up-a the good work everyone!" Luigi called out with a grin.

@Klutzy Ninja Kitty @Archmage Jeremiah @Khan of the Mardu @Midnight Maidne @NokiBay

Lounging the the water with one hand behind her head and the other still pumping water, Risky Boots yawned. "This beginning to 'eel too easy," she joked while casually blasting another one of the eel's teeth with whitewater.

@thatguyinthestore @Klutzy Ninja Kitty @Midnight Maiden @Khan of the Mardu @Noki Bay
The ends of Yusuke's lips curled into a smile when Risky would reply with her own pun, and he looked rather pleased. He had been used to his friends groaning or telling him to cut it out when he made such comments back home. It was actually a breath of fresh air that he had actually garnered a positive response from Risky after saying silly things. "Yes, this has gone swimmingly indeed," he replied, continuing to do his work and spray the teeth.

@Archmage Jeremiah @Khan of the Mardu @thatguyinthestore @Midnight Maiden @Noki Bay
 
With Yusuke and Risky both spraying off the eel's teeth, Luigi would deliver the final blow by spraying off its final tooth with his own FLUDD.

With its final tooth clean, the eel would retreat back into the ground, revealing the same object that would usually appear buried in the sand. With the eel gone, the object flew up, making it available for anyone in the group to grab.

"I guess you could say that-a went... uh..." Luigi paused as he tried to come up with a water pun in an attempt to be like Yusuke and Risky, though his efforts proved futile as he was unable to do so. "I got nothing..." Luigi said, slumping his arms in defeat.

Yamashiro considered the options; the sandy beach seemed a logical place to relocate the turtles to, and it would solve the problem of competing interests between the sunflowers and the turtles. There was a way, or an idea, in the battleship's mind on how to lead them to the beach:

"I'm not the best singer but... there is a tune that always leads the ships back to their home port. I'll try to sing or hum it out, perhaps as fellow sea creatures the turtles might like it too, and it might draw them to a new home."

Yamashiro went on to sing the tune, which didn't have any words but an enchanting and soothing melody which she hoped would get them to follow her to the beach, and give the sunflowers enough nutrients to survive:


Yamashiro hoped the turtles liked it, as she slowly walked towards the beach while singing.

@Yun Lee @Jeremi @Crow @Mari @Minerva @Verite @Kaykay @LuckycoolHawk9 @pinna
 
"........I don't think turtles care."

Gon's friendly demeanor seemed to interest the turtles, as did Yamashiro's singing. They couldn't understand them, but their tone was enough to keep from angering the creatures.

"Perhaps the fact that they don't understand could pose a problem...how can we convince them to get off the island?"
@LuckycoolHawk9 @Verite @Kaykay @Mari
 
"Very well. If you all won't obey the student council..."
62971.jpg

"There may be hope for you after all."

The vice president revealed to the group a Shine Sprite, which gave them all a faint glow.
170px-FI_Shine.png

"From the way things have gone lately, I was concerned for your ability to fight back. There are times where things seem hopeless, and that you have no power, but there will come a time where you can find a way out."


"Oh, please! You guys aren't going to fall for this, are you?" Mary crossed her arms, glaring at the vice president. "How convenient is this?! The vice president turns out to be on our side, against Kirari...sure, give us a free immunity! We'll still get in trouble for not doing as ordered!"

The vice president turned her head to face Mary. "Kirari told me to have the group grow sunflowers. How I choose to do that is my own business. Either way, why complain, since everyone now has a glow? If I am lying or telling the truth...you'll all have to gamble with what you choose to believe."
tumblr_oshzls8yyD1v6lhveo1_400.png

"......."

"Now then. You all expressed a desire to try alternatives. Anyone who can come up with an alternative will get a special prize, one I guarantee will come in handy in the future."

@Yun Lee @Jeremi @Kaykay @Verite @Mari@Crow @Minerva @LuckycoolHawk9 @Pinna​

"That is not possible. These large sunflowers are already deeply rooted here. Your best bet is an alternative regarding the turtles."
@LuckycoolHawk9

"Oh! Maybe I can go talk to the turtles and get them to go somewhere else? Or lure them somewhere else? That doesn't count as disturbing them or anything, right?" Gon asked with enthusiasm, raising his hand.

It was really neat to get another glow again, side note. The boy could only hope he'd remember this time and make use of it, but he still had to wonder what the so-called special prize was that the Vice President referred to. He didn't share Mary's worries of the enigmatic figure's true agenda if there were any ulterior motive, 80% because he didn't have the capacity to doubt someone he just met, and 20% because he figured he should take what he could get. After all, he could only wonder what the so-called special prize was. Perhaps some immunity for the round? Seemed like the easiest answer.

And Gon settled on the easiest logical choice, because that was still hard for him to connect.

"I have two possibilities. The first would be to just accept that this is their natural habitat and natural way of life and that we have no right to interfere," Ernesti then continues, "or we could figure something else out what other islands they go to."

Ernesti ponders a bit more as he looks at Yamashiro's idea.

"If we're going with Yamashiro's idea, we're going to need a torchlight. Do you have one we could borrow, Vice President?"

Rita Hanson

Rita paused and thought for a second. It was possible that the turtles wanted to mate- but maybe they didn't know the way back. Rita curiously squirted some water a few feet away (out of firing range of hitting said turtle) from a turtle to see if it would react to water suddenly being where it was not. It was all she could think to do.

tumblr_of3xbi_RMFy1uti1rro5_250.png


"Aah, well... Usually, I'm really good at communicating with turtles and other animals! But I suppose these little guys just need something else that might get 'em to move," Gon said with a light laugh, sheepishly scratching the back of his head as he briefly turned toward Hina, before directing his attention back to the animals again.​
"No. All we have are this crate of seeds and the FLUDD machines on your backs."

@Yun Lee @Jeremi @Crow @Mari @Minerva@Kaykay @LuckycoolHawk9 @Verite @Pinna
"Oh, I have an idea! Can I borrow some seeds?"

Without waiting for an answer, as though it were a rhetorical question (despite not doing much to indicate such), the boy went ahead and grabbed a handful of seeds from the nearby crate, before jogging back over to the turtles and holding his hand out to them, shaking it lightly as if to see if they'd be interested in the seeds, taking a few steps back even and dropping a few on the ground, creating a small trail.

"A teacher of mine said that sometimes, you gotta lose money to make money! ... The same thing can apply with flower seeds, right?"

Hopefully, it wasn't a waste.

...

But it probably was.

"Mecha-Bowser's Revenge!"

The turtles seemed to respond positively to the trail, munching on some of the seeds and following Gon's trail. "It's working!" Yumeko watched in amazement as the turtles snacked, taking some seeds herself to aid the hunter.

"Lead them to the boat," the vice president said. "We can move them to another section of the island." The turtles were more than happy to board, and soon set sail, away from the beach.

"Now we can plant those flowers!"
---------------
1219603-pinna_park.jpg

It was a much easier task now that the turtles were gone. The flowers grew almost instantly when watered, and soon the grassy area of Pinna Island was covered in large, cheerful flowers. "It's beautiful...and to think we could do it without killing!"

"I still think it's a trick..."

Ignoring Mary, the vice president handed Rita, Ernesti, and Yamashiro one blue coin each. "As you all made a valiant effort, consider this payment." Gon, however, would receive an envelope. "Open this during the sixth game," she told him. "If you make it to that point, of course."

A ship could be heard in the distance-it was the boat carrying those from Noki Bay. Once they were ashore, the vice president bowed. "Thank you for your work today. Continue to work hard-but let me leave you with one last warning: there is more to this place than you might think."

"As if that wasn't already obvious," Mary grumbled. "Can we go now?"

"Of course." The vice president would step to the side, gesturing towards the amusement park. "You will find your next host inside. I wish you all the best of luck."

As they walked through the gate, Mary turned to her friend. "Yumeko...how can any of this sit right with you?! You know how they've been manipulating all of us!"

"I do. But even so..."

The first word that comes to mind when you enter Pinna Park is "Fun!" The smell of cotton candy and popcorn fills the air, pleasant music plays on speakers, and you can see happy little Noki children running around, laughing and cheering. The rides look fun, too. There's a carousel, spinning shells, swinging pirate ships, a gigantic ferris wheel that you can see all the way from the main island...but grandest of all is the roller coaster. The coaster is large, taking up a good chunk of the park, and has many loops and corkscrews that anyone could enjoy.

"Ooh, what fun! We should try going on a ride, Mary!"

"...you do realize someone is about to die, right...?"

The carousel in front of them would come to a halt, and a little girl would hop off one of the dinosaurs. She bounced over to the group, looking at them all for a second, before smiling.

"Hee hee, sure do! You're lookin' at her!"

"What?! But you're so little-"

"Psh, I just gotta get my growth spurt, is all." She waved Yumeko away, looking over the group. "The name's Runa Yomozuki! I'm in charge of this here game!

Ignoring Mary, the vice president handed Rita, Ernesti, and Yamashiro one blue coin each. "As you all made a valiant effort, consider this payment." Gon, however, would receive an envelope. "Open this during the sixth game," she told him. "If you make it to that point, of course."

A ship could be heard in the distance-it was the boat carrying those from Noki Bay. Once they were ashore, the vice president bowed. "Thank you for your work today. Continue to work hard-but let me leave you with one last warning: there is more to this place than you might think."

"As if that wasn't already obvious," Mary grumbled. "Can we go now?"

"Of course." The vice president would step to the side, gesturing towards the amusement park. "You will find your next host inside. I wish you all the best of luck."

As they walked through the gate, Mary turned to her friend. "Yumeko...how can any of this sit right with you?! You know how they've been manipulating all of us!"

"I do. But even so..."

"That was the first time I've really gotten to enjoy a gamble since I got here."

"That shouldn't...never mind. Let's just get this next game over with."

The first word that comes to mind when you enter Pinna Park is "Fun!" The smell of cotton candy and popcorn fills the air, pleasant music plays on speakers, and you can see happy little Noki children running around, laughing and cheering. The rides look fun, too. There's a carousel, spinning shells, swinging pirate ships, a gigantic ferris wheel that you can see all the way from the main island...but grandest of all is the roller coaster. The coaster is large, taking up a good chunk of the park, and has many loops and corkscrews that anyone could enjoy.

"Ooh, what fun! We should try going on a ride, Mary!"

"...you do realize someone is about to die, right...?"

The carousel in front of them would come to a halt, and a little girl would hop off one of the dinosaurs. She bounced over to the group, looking at them all for a second, before smiling.

"Hiya! You guys look pretty lost. Can I help you?"


"Why yes, thank you! We're looking for a member of the student council that's hosting our game. Do you know where they are?"

"Hee hee, sure do! You're lookin' at her!"

"What?! But you're so little-"

"Psh, I just gotta get my growth spurt, is all." She waved Yumeko away, looking over the group. "The name's Runa Yomozuki! I'm in charge of this here game! I'll get into the details soon, but first, you gotta pay up, and vote for two people. Woulda been three, but no one bothered to go to Pianta Village. So you better choose those two wisely..."

"My first blue coin," Ernesti says, "now then, where will we be headed?"

Oh jolly, a theme park and the venue of their next death game.

"I'd like to vote for Yamashiro and Ritsuka-senpai, please," Ernesti declared. He briefly looked at his coin, then pocketed it, choosing not to spend it.

"I'd like to see what you have in store, Miss," Ernesti grins towards Runa. "Make sure it won't dissapoint."

Midround Update
"Mecha-Bowser's Revenge!"

The turtles seemed to respond positively to the trail, munching on some of the seeds and following Gon's trail. "It's working!" Yumeko watched in amazement as the turtles snacked, taking some seeds herself to aid the hunter.

"Lead them to the boat," the vice president said. "We can move them to another section of the island." The turtles were more than happy to board, and soon set sail, away from the beach.

"Now we can plant those flowers!"

"Well, you see, the simulation room is a way to send everyone safely to the base without killing them. I had an issue with it before, but it's under control now! ...I think." As Bowser Jr. kept wreaking havoc, he sighed. "I'm going to have to get my tranquilizer. If you'll excuse me."

He left, followed by Jack. "Yeah, and I need a change of clothes, like, yesterday." Both of them failed to notice that they left you totally unattended. Meaning if you wanted to explore...you probably could get away with it.

Risky Boots blinked, left in disbelief at the sight of the girl. Her eyes bounced between the girl and everyone else gathered, but remained upon Alesha, who was quick to follow along. The pirate's eyes glazed over and wandered into the sky as she breathed a wistful sigh. Turning to Yusuke, Risky Boots forcefully thrust her #5 ticket into his hands. "Take this, and my vote. Don't ask questions," was all she said to him, quite gruffly and quickly, before turning around and walking back down the same path she had entered the park through, with an aimless gait free of any urgency.
