Gregorith had been somewhat spoiled by a universe that provided whatever its denizens required. He'd gone from living in a condo spacious enough to house a fully functional pottery studio, to a townhouse with space that could be converted, but a kiln was another matter.

He'd pondered that on his way to finally checking out the art supply store and discovered to his relief that they not only had a kiln, but workspace that he could schedule the use of.

He was probably going to buy his own set of tools however, just to be able to use his tools.

Oh and a new sketchbook! He had one but he suddenly liked the idea of having a brand new one for Fandom. He didn't need pencils, colored or otherwise but what difference did that make?

The sun was setting! Could you take your sunglasses of now?

Well, yes.

But if you did, another pair reappeared in their place immediately after.

And if a minor inconvenience turning into a slightly bigger inconvenience at nightfall wasn't enough to get you in some kind of a discombobulated mood... There was also the sudden appearance of an abandoned lighthouse that was now sitting at the far end of the island.

It was Halloween season, after all!

Not talking about that. Are this many of you meant to be here?

*chittering*

Bringing the news from Fandom? where are your notes then?

*chittering*

Nothing happened. This conversation could have been an email.

*chittering*

Yes, I don't.

Any way, over here on Break, yesterday Morning saw mostly hangovers and and overnight room changes if Henry and Belle were any indication. Jaina attempted to have breakfast, in the lounge Flint and his tiny unicorn...not touching that, explained the dangers of hangover spiders to Henry, Cal and Arden explored the beach, Steve did yoga, Sabine and Anakin rode "X-JetBladez", and Liliana was today's yacht thief.

Meanwhile, Rey and Adrian decided the solution to their clothing woes was nudity. I can't blame them for good ideas.

In the Evening, Steve watched the gummi bear rain from his villa. Which isn't even the strangest sentence I've read on one of these broadcasts. Henry and Jon attended the Glow In The Dark Beach Party, and Flint went snorkelling. I assume his tiny unicorn was still with him.

Well, the gummy bear rain had gone away again, as had the ugly Hawaiian shirts and swimwear - unless they had been someone's own genuine shirt/swimwear, in which case... Sorry about all the slander against their taste?

Anyway, yes, the ugliness was gone but apparently now the multiverse was concerned about proper eye protection, because Thursday morning saw people waking up with sunglasses they couldn't take off. Hope they were at least nice ones!

Also, unrelated, but the pool was full of Jello.

It was another lovely, balmy evening on Voavah, everyone! Go out, enjoy the beach, check o--

Wait.

Was it raining gummy bears?

Oh boy.

'Twas yet another beautiful and exactly-right sort of day on Voavah Island. The ocean was a perfect blue, the palm trees swayed, and every. single. person. on the island woke up wearing the ugliest Hawaiian shirt (or swimwear) they could imagine.

The rooms they woke up in were also a little... weird...

What do you mean? I’ve been here the whole time. I’m just enjoying some solitude.

*sceptical chittering*

Hush. Notes, please.

Nothing from the school, of course because we’re here on an entirely different island from the one we live on. And nothing from the dorms because we aren’t there.

I have a little from the town. Octavia and Duke had a date night at Lucifer’s with nachos. And Remy was working at Needful Things while his cats knocked things off shelves.

Now for the trip. During the day Jon went to the spa to treat himself. Liliana joined him for drinks and a conversation about…elves? All right. And Steve enjoyed the swim-up bar at the pool.

Some people went swimming with sharks, including Anakin and Arden who were both excited. Others went snorkeling with manta rays. Rey was joined by Henry who was very unfamiliar with the activity. Harley was also there talking with Rey and distracting Henry. Adrian was taking pictures of Rey in addition to the fish. And Lydia seemed uncomfortable about the whole idea.

And then Flint borrowed a yacht.

In the evening there was a party on the yacht which was attended by Harley, Steve, Henry, and myself.

Liliana set up a watch party to look at ridiculous costumes from…everywhere? Flint was surprised and confused by all of it and that seems reasonable. Ignis was there, of course, to listen to the reactions and Liliana’s descriptions. Jon preferred this to the sharks from the night before. Lydia was enjoying the commentary more than the outfits, it seems.

I believe that’s all. No room parties that I know of, tonight. But perhaps I’ll see some of you somewhere else.

The fun didn't stop at sunset on Tuesday evening, either. The beach was still there, the spa was still there...

Oh, and also there's a yacht party!

Remy did not pay nearly enough attention to the island news to know why the town was so quiet this week. He just knew that it was, and that it tended to happen a few times a year.

Just meant that there were less distractions for the cats as they trailed after him to the shop this week. He'd tried to keep them in -- but let's be real, he didn't try very hard. They seemed rather sturdy, and had always come home so far when they wandered off. And hey, it kept them entertained!

And kept Remy entertained, catching things they knocked off shelves.

A good time for everyone. If something broke . . . Remy could always steal Harley a new one for her stock. Assuming she knew enough about what she had in stock to notice.

The second day of vacation was upon all Fandomites currently in the Maldives, and what a glorious, sunny day it was!

Unless of course you preferred the great indoors, in which case what a glorious air-conditioned day in the shade it was.

What up, Fandom? It's me, ya girl, Arden Finch, coming at you live from the Maldives. It is beautiful here and I'm pretty sure the only reason they're not serving sweet tea is because they knew I'd never leave, otherwise. Also, a quick shout out to Captain Rogers for covering for me last week when I was busy.

*chittering*

Captain Rogers didn't say anything because he's polite, and I'm not saying anything because you're just being nosy.

Nothing from School, Dorms, or Town - the squirrels keep jabbering on about some kind of outage, but everything looks like it's working to me? Or do y'all mean outings, aka 'what everybody did yesterday'?

During the day, the only person in the hotel was Captain Flint who woke up in the Beach House lounge and pretty much stayed there all day, reading. That's because most people were on the beach, like Rey and Dean Skywalker, who told her about snorkeling and promised extra credit to anybody in swimming class who tried it. Henry was still a bit intimidated by the open ocean, but he and Rey talked about how a bunch of planets she's been on only had one kind of biome, but how Earth had a bunch of different ones he'd be able to see because of Fandom trips. And Ms. Solo-Fel was watching her kiddos catch turtles in the water. The squirrels are making jokes about eligible bachelors but I honestly don't get it.

Other folks went kite-surfing during the afternoon, like Captain Rogers, who kept trying to convince Ms. Pryde-Barton to try it with her eyes open. Other folks opted for more low-key activities; Eleanor - hi, Ellie! - went snorkeling, and Captain Isabela somehow stole a ship for a one-woman drinking cruise and, uh, that's some straight up queen [BLEEP] right there.

In the evening, some folks, like Ms. Wren were enjoying the lobster dinner, while a bunch of other folks watched a movie night out on the beach. Doc Harley talked to Rey about hoping the movie scared folks out of the water, and Professor Sims seemed to agree with the sentiment, though Duke Skywalker thought it was a great movie choice.

And that's it for today's broadcast, so forgive me if I don't hang around. I've got a cute bathing suit to try on and a tan to perfect ~~you know, assuming the internet works tomorrow~~. This is your reminder - Cal - to wear your sunscreen and drink plenty of water! So this is ya girl, Arden Finch, heading out and leaving you with Take Me To The Beach by Imagine Dragons. Have a good break, Fandom!

The nice thing about this time of year in the Maldives was the weather. The less great part was that the stunning sunset happened before 6pm.

But the party didn't stop just because it got dark ~~and ping notifications weren't going through~~! It's Lobster Night tonight!

Good morning, everyone. This is Jaina, from a much warmer place than usual, and you should all know that there's already sand in my room.

In town, Gregorith probably had a very easy first day at the museum since everyone was gone.

Because they're here in the Maldives. Grandfather, Jon, Henry, Steven Rogers, and Liliana checked out their rooms, though Flint and Lydia had an issue sharing, so he found other accommodations. Which might mean he's sleeping on the beach. Flint and Steve were spotted at the pool party, Liliana rejected the spa, and on the beach, Flint told Henry how far the ocean goes and how sharks shouldn't be too much of a problem. Which might be comforting?

*sound of door slamming*

Those are my notes. Enjoy the day, and a squirrel just walked out wearing tiny sunglasses.

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

Rise and shine, Fandom! It's the first real day of vacation, and there's plenty of time for adventures! There is also plenty of time for lazing around on the beach all day. We're not judging!

Seriously? Seriously? It's one note.

*chittering*

Fine. Ahem. Raiden had a lot of pineapple to use up at Over Easy. Which feels very island themed. But that's all there is. I'm going back to deciding which outfits to pack, thanks.

The portal has dropped us onto Voavah, our private island for the week. The weather is sunny with a slight breeze and photogenic fluffy clouds overhead. We're going to hover around 80 degrees F/27 degrees C for the entire week--the temperature doesn't drop as the sun goes down. We've just missed the afternoon rainstorm, so everything is a little wet and the flowers smell amazing. Welcome to the Maldives!

Blathers had been kind enough to not only give Gregorith a job, but to pick what day he wanted to work. So here he was, trying something new.

When he wasn't dealing with people, er, helping visitors, Gregorith made sure he was familiar with how the office and the front desk was organized (he didn't want to accidentally mess anything up like Asmodeus had when he reorganized Gregorith's weapons/tools), checking that the supply closets were supplied, and using the brochures on hand as a reference for a mock-up of what something similar for his universe could look like.

He was in a better mood than he had been in a bit. Maybe because of the tasks, maybe because he'd been here a while, maybe because of the K-Pop playlist he'd found.

"We're goin' up, up, up..."

(Le Museum is open. Gregorith is available for slowplay as this is a rare "things are happening" weekend for the mun)

Raiden was feeling tropically inspired today, which was fortunate because he had a lot of pineapple to work with. Made crafting the specials board kind of easy.

Specials
Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes
Pineapple Upside Down Baked Oatmeal
Pineapple Sriracha Breakfast Bowls

Over Easy is open! And very pineapple-y.

Good morning, everyone! I hope you are ready to hear all the news of yesterday, because I have been most cruelly dragged out of bed by rodents to provide it, and I've much packing to do before we leave! Let us begin, shall we?

At the school, Driver's Education used simulators to prepare for our beach adventures, whilst Weather & Storms learned what a 'dead man walking' is. No, thank you. I don't see any notes from the dormitory, but in the town Mr. Henry of Skalitz was learning how things worked at the forge, and at the Trooper Station Detective Watts dealt with some troublesome raccoons before having luncheon with Mr. Grant. At Needful Things, Dr. Quinn was doing some seasonally appropriate advertising, and was visited by Dr. Isley, who approved. Mr. Morningstar quite sensibly refused to allow Mr. Tiny a musical instrument at The Devil's Nest, and Miss Skywalker was still trying to adjust to the alterations at her warehouse. And that does seem to be all of my notes, so I shall be off now. I still don't have a swimming costume, and I really don't know what to do!
