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!
(Reward: Common)

(( REMINDER: Task submissions are due Friday by 9 PM EST/6 PM PST. ))

(( 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!

Also, as always, your admins can be contacted for a chat. ))

MONDAY • TUESDAY • WEDNESDAY • THURSDAY

what's the worst part about it

[townmusician]

[Just pretend there’s a breakdown of the controls and an explanation of combos and blocking, throws, all of that here because I am not a fighting game person.]

…But it’s probably easier to learn by playing it yourself. You can try against a bot first until you get the hang of it.

[necrotiem]

Hahaha, you haven't met many nobles, have you?

[There's a certain amount of propriety expected with courtship, though from the way Waltaquin talks so dismissively about it, it's likely she doesn't ascribe to the same notions.

Quin looks over the edge and back to him.]

If you keep hesitating hoping I'll back out and save you the trouble, you'll never learn anything about me.

[Hopefully, he's ready to jump, because she's going forward with the express intention of sending them both over the edge immediately. Crea, you're not even getting a countdown.

Yeet.]

[passetemps]

[ f...fish cupcakes......... he vaguely wonders if chloé would enjoy something like that, or if it would be crossing a line even for her. ]

I do. And I have often enjoyed experimenting with creating my own recipes when I've had the chance. I would happily offer my assistance in your efforts if you wish for it.

[ let this be his penance for scaring her ]

[conchy]

Mm, I understand that well.

[He does miss his parents even if he doesn't regret what happened to them.]

Non, I am an only child. I do wonder what life might have been like had I a younger sibling or two to care for, though. Still, there may be some merit to the idée that only children are quite spoiled. What do you think?

[microtransactions]

[ looks

extremely innocent? from over in the peanut gallery ]

[plunges]

[ The goose does, in fact, make it out just on time before it's blown up. It honks wildly and flaps away, and Xiao looks at Kanon with disbelief. ]

Was that really necessary?

[plunges]

You were from the same place?

[ Xiao folds his arms over his chest. He also knows someone from home here; he's not sure how he'd feel if Baizhu were in Sonya's place instead. ]

...That would explain a lot of what he said the other day, then. I'm sorry for your loss.

[plunges]

[ At that, he shakes his head. ]

No. I came here to play with you.

[ Simple as that. ]

[immortalpoet]

[He makes a face at that, like he's met with a bowl of rotten vegetables in the fridge.]

Don't be. He caused problems. I won't be missing him.

[plunges]

[ He'll...do just that. Awkwardly, but he'll do it. ]

Like this?

[idologue]

Well... Not really, but I do believe in the basic principle of modesty.

[ Barely, anyway. She's still in the bath to begin with. ]

[chrysaline]

[ Well... it's good to know he's feeling well enough to still be himself. She gives that a little smile, actually. ]

Most of us here probably aren't good enough at building things to make you a replacement... I wonder if Lobelia or Magolor could help?

[ Lost limbs wouldn't have been her specialty even if he were fully human, unfortunately. ]

Worth it? What for?

[idologue]

Let's see....

[ Looking over his shoulder at the selection. ]

Mud's probably effective, but it'd make me want to also take a bath... Maybe papaya? That feels tropical and thus topical.

And if you do go for gold, you'll have to tell me how it feels.

[idologue]

Mhm. That's true. He would never blame me.

[ This is a difficult topic to talk about, but... maybe here, where none of it will get back to Kira, there is space for it. ]

But if someone has given up so much due to your interference and then acts completely selfless about it... Doesn't that just make you worry more?

[diabolizes]

[ ...Ah, the way she frames the situation is oddly familiar to Wei Wuxian, but from Kira's side. It's why he gives her question some serious thought instead of answering immediately like he would otherwise. ]

It could, yes. However... consider it from the other perspective. If he's as forthright as you make him out to be, then he likely sees no issue with it whatsoever. Sometimes our choices force our own or someone else's hand, but that's the way life is.

Onsen Episode

[chosenwang]

[ He will let people know either on the network or in person to meet up at the Onsen. It's time to get to know each other better! Also towels are encouraged because think of Little Xiao the kids! If they want to go full swinging for all to see though...he won't stop them. ]

[skyworp]

[He makes mental note of her suggestions. Lobelia, in particular, seems like a good option. If only because he may be the only person willing to help him out.]

Didn't you see?

[Perhaps she was distracted with the whole murder thing. What a loss.]

Such power. Such devastation. Wasn't it magnificent?

[gluttoning]

I wouldn't know. My family has always been big.

[The youngest were always plenty spoiled, sure, but that's not much of a point to make.]

I could see you being spoiled, though.

[dupiety]

[Temenos has always been under the impression that onsens are supposed to be quiet and relaxing, and cramming this many people into it for mingling purposes seems to be the exact opposite. However, given that it's Wang Lu gathering everyone, Temenos has little choice but to attend.

He's here, lower half covered by a towel, and trying to enjoy his little corner of the spring. He won't say no to visitors, of course.

Whenever he's out of the water, he can be found wearing...this? as a cover-up. He looks pretty cozy in it. Wonder where he got it from?]

[chosenwang]

[chosenwang]

I guess being a neko does suit you. Hold up you hand real quick. [ He'll show him what he means by holding up his own hand like it's a paw.

Also he's in a robe himself and just standing outside of the water. ]

[conchy]

I see... So that must mean you have siblings after all. Many of them, perhaps! I can hardly imagine what growing up must have been like.

[dupiety]

[He's definitely laughing.]

Oh, I'll remember that look for a long time. If only I hadn't left my device back at the cabana...

[He would've loved a picture of it.

Anyway, he tips his head...]

I am not acting like a cat for your amusement.

[chrysaline]

[ Her whole expression is just alight with excitement now. All ominous crimes are clearly forgiven. ]

Thank you! That would be such a help. There's going to be too much food for any of us, so... how about we make something you like, too?

[ She'll still owe him, but it's something. ]
