[There is an eerie cry - the call of one leucrota to its kin - seconds before the black clouds begin to peel away. The creatures recede with the darkness as the sky returns to daylight in a turbulent, reverse fashion of how it clouded.
However, the sun is not high.
On the western horizon of a sky painted pink, orange and purple, the sun rests with its belly half in the water, its glory reflecting off the waves.
Speakers squeal as the General Manager invades all audio and video channels. His eyes are glazed in awe as he looks off camera with the golden glow of the sunset reflecting off his face from an unseen window.]
Oh… my!
Well, that was a little rough, but I must say we are very lucky.
We have a rare sunset cycle. Isn't it spectacular?
[His gaze shifts back to the camera and he grins, showing perfect white teeth.]
I think this calls for a celebration! It will take a couple of days to prepare properly - which hopefully will pass before the cycle does - but I'm sure you could all use the time to rest and recover. Lick your wounds and all that, well, not literally. Well, unless you want to…
[His eyes shift to one side and his expression becomes temporarily blank.]
Where was I?
Oh yes. Do get your strength back and be ready to have lots of fun! Even more than usual. We'll be throwing a luau in celebration of the beautiful sunset, and to help prepare for this, all shops will only be selling appropriate clothing for the occasion!
[With a giddy, nearly childish smile he holds up a coconut bra.]
Dress in the spirit of things! Until then, aloha.
[The transmission ends, but comes back quickly.]
One more thing. We recovered some items that Agabail "borrowed". These items can be claimed at the front desk.
[The General Manager smiles again and places a pink flower lei over his head. The transmission is cut again.]
