The Vangs have decided to embark on their seasonal vacation. Back to Selvadorada. This time they’re going for longer (since it’s not just me trying to fix a game glitch). Evan and Niks will likely explore the jungle again while Kenzie and Isla do whatever they want to do. Everybody’s way stressed out and tired of the grind, so this should help. Hopefully.
- The twins have decided to use this vacation to reconnect. They haven’t been very active in one another’s lives since before Evan was born. They’re hanging out and chatting a lot, reading books, and dancing together.
Everybody bonding.
- Niks is exploring the jungle and making some bad decisions. She has: tried to watch a Jaguar and fallen into a cave of bats, accidentally disturbed fireflies which bother some sloths, tried to distract the fireflies but made them angry – which then made the sloths angry enough to make tree branches fall onto her head, and gotten herself exhausted because she wanted to avoid some totems that looked nasty.
- Finally, having some luck, Niks makes friends with some sloths and finds a relic. She and Evan make it all the way to the temple. Evan is not having such a great time. He forgot food, and can’t find a bush to fertilize.
- Inside the temple, Niks gets to work exploring, while Evan passes out in a pee bush outside. When he wakes up, he discovers a bar inside, and makes them both energy drinks. He tries to go sit by the pool to enjoy his, but gets attacked by fire flies, and set on fire.
- While Evan tries to figure his life out, Niks is busy exploring the place and solving puzzles. She has, unfortunately, contracted something, and been almost hit by a dart, and then actually hit by a dart, but she’s also gotten them further into the temple.
- Niks has gained something called Ancient Joy, and apparently it’s contagious.
- It’s night in the temple, and strange things have awakened. Niks has made friends with a skeleton named Boneita Esqueleto. And also she’s been set on fire by fire flies.
- Niks has given Boneita a gift of a sugar skull. Boneita seems to really like this gift. She has taught Niks a skeleton joke in return.
- The trio have decided to go for a swim.
- Evan has been electrocuted a little by lightning bugs.
- The power has been shut off back home because nobody remembered to pay the bills before they left. Thankfully cellphones exist.
- The sickness has gotten to Niks. The lightning bugs have gotten to Evan. They’re both dazed in the middle of nowhere. This is probably bad. They’re wandering around in bathing suits, also.
- Evan is not as into exploring as Niks is, he keeps hanging out at the random bar in the temple and dancing. He’s found a new dance partner by the name of Tibia Maximus. She is, like Boneita, a skeleton.
- Niks has triggered something wrong, and it scared her so much she peed herself.
- Isla and Kenzie are NOT enjoying their time here anymore, and it’s annoying Niks. She’s sent Isla home, ending her aunt’s vacation early. If Kenzie ever comes out of the jungle, I imagine she’ll be sent home too, since she’s moping around and crying. Oh, nope. Evan did it first. Harsh, Evan, sending your mom home from vacation like that.
- Niks has found her way to the heart of the temple! She has explored as far as she can, and has gained some pretty great rewards. She’ll study some things before she leaves, but she’s anxious to get back to a warm shower and a soft bed.
- Aaaaand she’s been poisoned again. This time worse. She needs an antidote now, she can’t explore any further. Off to the library. At least it’s easy to order, but she really wanted to explore more. Can’t do that when you’re so dazed you keep dancing by yourself in the middle of an ancient temple.
- Evan and Niks are spreading the Blessing of the Ancients like some kind of godly herp. Everyone they come into contact with is getting it.
- Niks is going to need an archeology table when she gets home, she seems to be having a great time authenticating artifacts. Maybe she and Evan can share that office, and expand it some.
- Back at their rented spot, cleaned, fed, rested, Evan and Niks are quite happy. They’ve taken some time to relax and woohoo before their vacation ends.
