The cruise had been short. So short that honestly, Amaryllis wondered if she could have just jumped the distance after all. But no, that’d be dangerous in its own way. After all, what would she do if the wind pressure caused her to have a wardrobe malfunction?

Probably cry and then drown in the salty depths rather than face the humiliation of seeing everyone else’s reactions to her spontaneous exhibitionism.

Still, no Patrons allowed? That was certainly more pleasant than she had expected. After months of having to share her mind and body with something else, it was almost liberating to have silence ring out in her mind. She could just…not think of anything. Wow. How novel it was, turning off her brain. Maybe this wasn’t so bad aft-

No, that was complacency. Just because this beautifully luxurious private island resort may be some divine gift to Magical Girls, allowing them respite from the demands of their Patrons did not mean that Amaryllis could afford to just stay here and do nothing. Shannon was checking out the desk and Emily was accompanying her. She got the feeling too, that the nameless trio with the one guy in the group, was way more competent and deep-thinking than herself, but she definitely just felt…nervous, not doing anything. Too much energy to burn, too many nerves despite the beauty of the place.

She bit the inside of her mouth. Usually, her Patron would be the one chastising her for indecision, but now she’d have to do it herself.

Coiling her legs, Amaryllis jumped up, sailing high into the air before latching onto the top of a palm tree. With grace that was almost akin to an educated pole dancer, she scanned the horizons, amethyst eyes flickering from one point to the other. So vast, so open, so empty.

[color=778899]“Looks like no one else is here,”[/color] Amaryllis called down to the others, [color=778899]“Like, totally definitely don’t even see random custodians around, so it’s pretty empty. But, uh, there’s definitely a lotta other islands surrounding this one. Figure we’re not the only ones. So…”[/color]

What, was this going to be a battle royale?
