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.
Or maybe you're interested in getting absolutely sloshed instead. The vineyard is perfect for that, located to Io's northeast on one of its long, tapering peninsulas. Rows upon rows of grapevines lead up to the crown jewel of the region: a proud winery with enough goods to satisfy even the most parched.

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:

"So you don't want me to go get Ben." It's not phrased like a question, more like a statement of fact. "Do you want an apple?"

He keeps acquiring apples somehow and he absolutely doesn't want them so this seems like an excellent opportunity to get rid of the one on his person currently. This one he at least knows the origin of, because it nearly hit him in the head earlier and he picked it up because it's bad form to refuse gifts. Even if they nearly kill you.

"I also have water."

"Oh, for sure. Let him sleep. He's still trying to remember how."

The apple question confuses Klaus for a second. He was thinking very hard about Ben for a while there? And now apples. The water makes more sense. Kind of also puts the apple into context, too.

Obviously, this is because he's high. Water and food are supposed to be important or whatever. Klaus knows how to be careful when he's doing dangerous things, he just doesn't care enough to do it.

"Not a favorite, but who am I to turn down a free apple. Oh, shit, I can bake it. Baked apple. Holy shit. Where's that stupid urn thing."

Klaus then spends... way too much time feeling around the ground around him for his bag that he stuffs Urnest into when he doesn't feel like being followed around by an animated object. It's one thing when it's the ghost of your brother, it's another when it's a magic Easy Bake Oven.

Klaus no longer remembers why he's looking for Urnest, but it seems important. Where the hell is he. Where's the bag. He's definitely not literally sprawled out on top of his own knapsack right now.
