WEEK THREE
WEEK THREE
26 Vacationers
The events of the past weekend, the past week, may linger on your mind as you awaken to the sun rising on your third week on Sungem's Peak. The rays of the sun are welcoming as always, and so are the amenities, and the new island— Kingfisher's Retreat.
The theme this week certainly seems to be relaxation and excitement, perhaps with a mind to distract all vacationers that your number has decreased by two. Or maybe you're the type to take a plunge in the name of your sacrificed vacationers? Either way, there's plenty of do, including more tasks for the objective minded.
!TASKS:
Dear:
How are you enjoying your vacation? Are you missing your friends or family back home? Write them a postcard and post it on the bulletin board!
(REWARD: RARE!)
Gifts:
Everyone loves gifts, so this week give one to someone else! It can be a physical gift, a gift from the heart, or any other kind of gift.
(REWARD: RARE!)
Take a Plunge
Take advantage of the waterfall, cold plunge, or even plain trust with one another. The point is to take a leap of faith together!

(( OOC: Murder proposals are due by Tuesday at 4 PM EST / 1 PM PST, for the current week's murder. Feel free to submit for later weeks too!How are you enjoying your vacation? Are you missing your friends or family back home? Write them a postcard and post it on the bulletin board!

[ Today Kallamar has set out a small bottle of Tide cleaner and a life-sized shish kabob thing on a dining table in the buffet. With them, he bent a postcard in half to write a makeshift sign:
FREE ITEMS
TAKE ONE
If anyone needs to speak with him about this, he'll be eating breakfast nearby. Yes, he put random seafood into a bowl and is eating it with a fork. ]

[ well, this is actually something interesting for crea. characters can find him at the top of the cliff in swim trunks and a shirt, waving happily at your character once he finds them nearby. ]
Heey! Come here! Let's jump together!
2. aviary
[ later in the day, crea can be found roaming the aviary. he's wearing a hoodie from the gift shop now, with a bit of seeds in his hand that the kittybot had so graciously given him. ]
I'm not actually sure what purpose this serves. It's kind of like a chicken coop, so are we supposed to ea—ow!
[ an angry couple of geese have teamed up. if crea won't give them the seed, then they're going to take it from him. ]
Uh. Help?

[ Did anyone think that Wang Lu wouldn't take the plunge with someone? He's dressed up in bright shorts and a white tee with blue bikini airbrushed over a fake figure. ]
Did you ever think you would take the leap with me? [ His tone is light as he gives a wink to the one beside him. ]
II. Spa Day (Open)
[ Later in the day, he can spotted at the spa wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt and black shorts to match. He's going to turn to anyone peeking in and gesture for them to come closer ]
Feeling like trying one of the facial masks. Care to join me?

[ This place is quite far from Lacus' usual habitat of luxurious gardens and long empty beaches. She's an outdoors kind of girl, in the same way a fairytale princess is an outdoors kind of girl. But all of Rapt0r's talk about video games had already made her curious, and then Chai's last action had been playing here... How could she not want to know what this is about?
If you catch her early into this endeavor, she'll kind of suck at games. There's going to be a lot of 'oh my' and 'oops' as she drives her racecar off the track or has her jump-and-run character fall into lava. But anyone watching her over her shoulder will quickly find out her learning curve is insane. It's not long before she plays at a decent level, eventually even placing herself #7 on the Top 10 scoreboard of a racing game. She hums to herself, mildly satisfied. ]
... so this is what it's about, hm?
2. Onsen
[ How could she ever resist the nostalgic draw of hot springs? The pool and the ocean are nice, but there is something unbeatable about relaxing in the hot water of an onsen - even when you've done it hundreds of times. Or maybe because of that.
Lacus is lost in thought sitting in the bath, a towel wrapped around her body and her hair tied up to not get wet, but when she hears someone approach, she'll wave in greeting. ]
Come in - the water is quite nice! I haven't been in an open air spring like this in a long time. Funnily enough, the one I frequented the most was a facsimile on a spaceship... while we were under the sea, no less!
3. Bulletin Board
[ You can find Lacus either reading other people's message or putting up her own. She's not shy about it being hers anyway, so if you want to snoop on it right after, she won't stop you. ]
What a bittersweet display this is... We have to make sure these sentiments reach their recipients.
4. Wildcard
[ Lacus can always be found walking the beach singing a soft little song or another. This is a given. Also she has two Haros with her as she does does - Mr. Pink and an orange one! ]

[Is it a surprise at all to find Kanon in the spa?
Probably not! A towel is draped around her shoulders as her hair dries, although the towel itself seems to be... mildly stained with red... Actually, there's some suspiciously red liquid in one of the sinks, too???
Kanon doesn't seem to pay it any mind, currently busy doing her nails with a nice bright red, perfectly matched to her hair - which, actually, is a little brighter than before as a matter of fact.
Come interrupt her? Ask her for assistance with your own hair and/or nails? It probably depends on who's asking, but she does seem to be in a good mood if nothing else.]
B. Onsen
[Later, she can found bathing at the onsen, humming a tune to herself. Fully in the nude of course - she has a great body and isn't at all ashamed of it, so if your character's decided to drop by the baths as well - enjoy the view??]
Now this is more like it ♪

TUESDAY
swap meet / yard sard
[ good morning, everyone! it looks like a table has been hauled over here from somewhere, decorated all in the spirit of vacation with sarongs from the boutique being improvised as appropriately beach-y tablecloths, and a couple of pool floaties and tiki cups arranged around the corners for spice. someone's acquired or made a banner to drape across the front, spelling out SEAGEM SWAP MEET.
so accordingly, the center of the table is left clear though, in order to easily display some of the items on it! including but not limited to:
- a harpoon
- harpoon... 2! rip to skywarp but anyway
- a fancy hand mirror, gold in color and covered in purple roses
- some sort of artifact or relic that appears to be a large, egg-shaped orb
... as well as a little sign that says 'more items potentially available upon further inquiry! ★'behind the table sit Wang Lu and Magolor, both chilling under a beach umbrella arranged for maximum shade. can't go getting sunburn now, right?
(and on a corner of the table sit ... the missing butter knives. gasp! just what are these two up to.
this is a joint tl, so you can specify who you're talking to whether it's one, the other, or both! or just leave it in the hands of fate, who knows?) ]

[ Wei Wuxian is sitting on the edge of the pool, his feet dipped in the water and a notepad on his lap. He's got quite a few supplies he raided from the stationery section of the gift shop and he seems to be drawing something, though it's hard to tell what it is from a distance.
Should anyone come closer, he'll wave them down. ]
How would you like a portrait? Consider it a gift from me to you!
[ A real gift from the heart. ]
ii - onsen
[ Naturally, he's going to take some time to relax a bit in the onsen now that they've got access to it. There's one particular part of it that he's drawn to, however, and that's the cold plunge.
Anyone he comes across will be gently nudged in the side. ]
Say, what do you think about going into the cold plunge?
iii - waterfall
[ Around sunset, Wei Wuxian can be found at the small hut enjoying refreshments (in this case, a hard seltzer) and donning the "WORLD'S DEEPEST DIVE BAR" t-shirt. He isn't up to much, however, and simply enjoying the way the light reflects off of the waterfall to create a rainbow, and the setting sun causes various shadows to form along the cliffs.
It's a pretty sight, one that even has Wei Wuxian go quiet for a little while. ]
iv - wildcard;
[ Wei Wuxian is always out and about and can be found just about anywhere on the various islands, occasionally with 808 in tow. Feel free to DM me or just give me your own prompt here! ]

[ Psyche did a simple tour of the new island the first day it appeared. But she's back again to puzzle over the various components of the spa. She doesn't know what most of the products are, but she eventually discovers the wellness section. At last, something she can use!
The yoga mats aren't really ideal for practicing her basic martial arts exercises, but they're not really any worse than the fitness center, and the clothes from here are easier to move in. She'll be going through a variety of simple routines for a while, her sheathed sword set off to the side.
Or catch her curiously poking at the buttons on the sound system to find what they do. Louder... quieter... whale calls?? ]
—Uwah?! What... what is that?
ii. kitchen
[ After her spa adventures, Psyche can be found in the kitchen for... a while. She has a handwritten recipe and a pile of ingredients, as well as one of the little catbots all but corralled as she constantly tries to ask it questions. At least a robo-helper is theoretically infinitely patient?
It's probably apparent to anyone with more experience than she has — basically, anyone — that she doesn't much know what she's doing. But she's nothing if not persistent about it. ]
Excuse me. So I peel these first? Just the outer part?
[ Is she asking the catbot? The newest arrival? She'll give anyone greeting her a friendly smile. Or startle her, it's probably fine that she has a knife. ]
iii. wildcard
[ HMU with anything, or message for PCs/starters! Psyche can also be found meandering the beach on Tuesday night, lost in thought. ]

[ Today you will find the resident squid god at the waterfall. He seems to be loitering at the edge of the plunge, staring down into the deep, sparkling abyss. ]
Is there no other way down? [ He asks himself, contemplating the jump. How sharp are those pretty gems at the bottom? ]
Jewels of the deep
[ Later, after he finally works up the nerve to just dive in, he will spend much of the day in at the bottom... In a corner of the jewel colored pool close to the gem formations. He seems rather relaxed, as though this spot reminds him of home.
He does occasionally come out to try and order the kittybots around, but as a sea creature he can afford to hide underwater where he can not be distributed...
Or so he thinks. ]

THURSDAY
!, closed to Haruka & Zelkov
What's odder still is that it doesn't look like anyone else hears it? Following the source of it will lead you to the waterfall area. There you'll find one of your other vacationers, probably look as perplexed (and annoyed) as you are.
Continue to follow the noise? ]

Perhaps it's because you offered a bit more for the island to chew on last week?
Whatever the case, the first stars are out and the moon glows above the horizon by the time a familiar low noise and atmospheric lightening makes itself known -- something like a dull roar that vibrates through bone, too unsettling to be the murmur of waves. The aviary has been even quieter than usual, but there's sudden a burst of cacophony as all the birds seem to cry out at once before it falls silent again -- it's ever more noticeable here with them all in one place, but they've been surprisingly hard to find for anyone who's visited.
Anyone on Kingfisher's Retreat who remembers to look up will see the familiar shimmer spreading across the sky by the waterfall, two long tendrils like the spreading of wings. It's thick and substantial enough to interrupt the fall of the waterfall at this point, creating an incredibly strange sight where the water seems to be riding on the warping, and some of the noise appears to be the sound of parts of the cliffs coming down or actually being flung a fair ways into the sea. Hope you're really watching your head there.
Meanwhile, those back on Sungem's Peak will spot the shimmer there too; this one is quieter in comparison, almost a tiptoeing bump in the night compared to the spectacle going on at Kingfisher island. A little veil of distorted moonlight spreads out across the waves down by the beach. Maybe it's not a night for skinnydipping.]
[OOC: The usual! Feel free to respond for a quick answer if your character is doing anything with/at the distortion, or ask in mod questions if needed.]
Kingfisher Retreat... No, RetreatING.
