[today on the island, aerith seems to be walking through the rows of veggies at the ranch, mostly admiring the growth and thinking about maybe bringing some back to try and make up for the food at the refectory. she's probably ankle-deep in pumpkins when she looks up and sees someone familiar, immediately throwing her arm up in a wave.]
Good morning! [ari i do not know if she would have introduced herself to aerith as hawke please advise. regardless she looks pretty pleased.] Come look at how much has grown!
[ not to worry she is introducing herself to everyone as Hawke. sometimes you don't like your first name??
anyway. talk about being baffled at all of this being here while they've just been suffering the whole time? hateful. ]
You could have a feast with all of this and still have plenty left over. [ glances left. glances right ] And none of the residents are around to claim it either.
It's a little weird, right? I checked the neighborhood a little earlier, but it looks like nobody's home. And nobody's come by at all since I've been here. [so. animals doko??]
...it could be. [a few people have, in fact, suggested this is the case and she has hated it each time even though that seems likely.] A different ritual than ours, you think? Maybe that one didn't work.
Yeah, that's...kinda the weird part about it. Everything still looks pretty peaceful here. Like they all just decided to leave on their own and never came back. At least in the town everything looked completely abandoned.
Yeah...[she's not wrong is the thing. she nudges a pumpkin with the toe of her boot.] The other thing is the position of the sun doesn't seem to change. The sky's stayed like this for a while now. I thought maybe they'd come back when the sun officially set, but it doesn't look like that's gonna be anytime soon.
[ immediately looks up like she hasn't noticed at all. huh! ]
Is this whole island just locked in time then...? The magics involved in that is far beyond my understanding but I do know it isn't any person could do.
I'm not sure. [it's not like she's against the concept of a place being locked in time. sounds possible, sure. but...literally why?] If it is, then the question's why, right? What would they need to time lock an island for? Unless it's to make sure nobody else can return.
I guess that's true...[still...it's weird to think about.] Maybe they really were hoping nobody would think about it too hard so it wouldn't matter in the end.
Don't take this the wrong way, Hawke, but good. We need that around here probably more than ever now. [it's okay she respects it.] You'd think with over thirty of us thinking on the problem we'd have a better idea by now, but I think everyone's still lost.
[and she'll lead the way! ari we can handwave the rest if you want since we have a new thread and say they explored together for a while, but up to you!]

[because they are furries.]

At this point, anything is likely. I've not even seen a hint to suggest it but the possibility.....
[ maybe they all fled safely! (ha) ]
There's not even a sign of them quickly departing which truly makes it odd. It's more as if they all just simply.....vanished.

There's the sensation that if I turn a corner, you'll expect to see the villagers at some point, and yet...
