Things Are Shaping Up to Be Pretty Odd
As of May 10th, the mana pools on Ensō and its islets will now allow for travel to Io. Though you could always opt for sailing, if you wanted. As we mentioned on the island's introductory post, no exploration is necessary! The island is small enough and easily traversed, and with a minimum of dangers, you have plenty of time to visit each of Io's six draws.
The temple is the easiest place to get in touch with the local avatar, though you can contact them just as easily by striking up a conversation with just about any honeybee you see in the vicinity. The lazy drone of them can be heard all over the island, though they're quite complacent, and not at all prone to disturbing adventurers. The temple itself is twined with grapevines and smothered with inlays of rubies, proud and sparkling. Inside, it smells of honey and wine, and seems to exhibit a naturally contented glow. Just outside, numerous fruit trees sprout all about the temple's courtyard, to be sampled at your leisure.
The bathhouses are located just south of the temple, and are prime locations for some rest and relaxation. Bathe, swim, take a spa day! There are innumerable rooms to do exactly that, and more space than be reasonably filled by some sixty-or-seventy people.
For those less keen on mind-altering substances, the tea gardens are a far safer bet. They practically emanate tranquility, with their soft paper lanterns, thickets of tea trees, and a tea room with a seemingly endless supply of every supplement to your drink that you could ask for. And if none of the teabags or tea leaves in there suit your preference, you're free to wander about the gardens yourself and sample whatever you like.
The Honeycomb at the island's heart is much more akin to a play structure or jungle gym than anything else, but its interlocking passageways and erratic, hexagonal architecture aren't for nothing. It's an ideal spot for play or exercise, if you're into that kind of thing - or for getting positively sick on honey sticks.
The campsites ensure that you don't truly have to depart from Io, if you don't want to. Tents full of chairs and cushions and blankets make it a wonderful place to spend the night if you're so inclined, and the lockers full of food and drink are assurances that you won't go hungry. And with all these massive bonfires and firework cannons, why would you ever want to leave?
Welcome to the island of Io! Please, enjoy your stay and make full use of this island's many faculties! For further information in regards to the island, or plotting, the following links may prove handy:

no subject
[The last time he saw York, it was to set charges in his dead body. To pick up his A.I. fragment and tell him in clipped, impersonal tones, that his Freelancer was dead and that he was to come with the Recovery agent deployed to pick up York's equipment.]
[There's no sentiment to a corpse.]
no subject
...Acknowledged.
no subject
Sometimes that's a thing people do. Drink to remember their friends. It's like a salute, a send off - that sort of thing.
no subject
(Legion does not understand this ritual. At all.)
no subject
[It's called a "toast," Wash. A toast.]
no subject
(Poisoning yourself because your dead friend liked to poison themselves does not seem wise.)
no subject
[He doesn't say "dead," but he's pretty sure that's the case. He hasn't heard from Illinois since the Project's fall, but he was never sent to recover any of his gear. Maybe he just fell off the map entirely.]
[Lucky bastard, if that was the case.]
no subject
(After a moment of consideration, they opt not to question further.)
no subject
[There's the standard stuff. Eulogies. Parting words. Gravestones. Funerals. Maybe a somber remembrance on the anniversary of the death. But in a long and tumultuous history of ongoing war, is there ever time to commemorate that many corpses?]
no subject
We did not wtness crew death on the Normandy, though Shepard-Commander had a memorial installed on which she placed names of fallen crewmates.
(Legion has never seen a funeral.)
no subject
[If that Geth custom sounds cold or strange to him, he doesn't comment on it. He's not about to pretend he understands Geth, or how they do things, when Legion is the only platform he knows.]
no subject
(All Geth are a part of the collective. None are alone, even in death.
They know of organic death rituals, but have little experience with them.)
no subject
[And drink. Plenty of people drink.]
no subject
(They wonder if Shepard-Commander placed their name on the memorial, despite it being her actions that led to her death.)
no subject
[Wash, for his part, never went. Not to commemorate Carolina. Not to bid goodbye to C.T. He'd lost them before, and said his goodbyes already. Anything else delivered after the fact just made those moments of grief feel cheapened by comparison.]
no subject
(Curiosity? A desire to mourn their own lost allies? Whatever their reason, Legion clearly wishes to know.)
