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. ))

[Billy doesn't intend to do any public bathing around a bunch of people, but regardless, the possibility of people breaking out into a fight or spilling some sort of crucial weakness lures him into observing. Billy can be found in swim trunks and a tank top on the outskirts with a mug of tea.]

Never did know where bathin' in public came from. Warrior man's bond or some shite? Man's his most vulnerable in the buff.

Would hate to get drowned here, eh?

[killerwaves]

[ wow.

The paper does look like it was torn from the printer, what's still left of it reads: ]

EXPERIMENT # Z_03
WEIGHT: 29.4kg
PROPERTIES: Organic, alive, humanoid

REPORT:

Subject was placed into LELANTOS at approxmiately TT05:34:13.000Z. Tracing yielded a 22% synchronization, with retrieval initiated despite synchronization not at mandatory levels.

[ The computer slowly hums to life with an immediate alert box: ]


ALERT: CONNECTION TO MAINFRAME DAMAGED. CURRENTLY IN RECEIVE MODE ONLY.

CONTINUE?

[necrotiem]

Oh, then I shall let you struggle with it a little longer.

[Extremely mean girl of her to not help him sort out his text message conundrum, but he's the sort who would slap her hands away before she ever had the chance to touch his things, isn't he?]

I'm surprised they speak so readily to us, given their apparent disdain. I don't usually strike up casual conversation with people I want to see dead.

[killerwaves]

[ Obnoxious, I like it.

It's a black opaque cube about slightly larger than a rubix cube with no markings or anything else written on it from what Zelkov can see. On the table is a couple of empty vials, a few packages of cotton swabs (the sterilized sealed kind), and a pen. ]

[microtransactions]

a little morbid, but think we could convince the admins to keep them in the arcade after trial just so we'd be able to put their powers to a good cause?

[gluttoning]

Weird thought. But... I guess it's not wrong.

[He sighs, returning to his slushie.]

I do. I love them a lot. Even when we have our fights.

I'm going to try to get back home to them.

[townmusician]

[Synchronization…? Fascinating. He has absolutely no idea what all of this means together, beyond “there’s also a fucked up experiment happening”. Maybe something to pester Shigaraki-san about later.

In the mean time, yes, he absolutely wants to continue! Also, are there any knickknacks on the desk? Or anything to write with, even if there’s no desks to snoop through.]

un: starfarer

[microtransactions]

Every time there's some sort of ancient sealed god or whatever there's always gotta be someone who wants to try to unseal it, huh.

[passetemps]

[ so it's just black and smooth on all sides? he'll tentatively pick it up to check the underside too.

do the vials look like, never-filled empty, or like they've been used? any visible residue or anything? ]

[stilllovesyou]

I heal pretty quickly so I probably don't need them then.

[She's still in here. It's nice and soothing and it reminds her of Camilla's hands in her hair.]

It's really pretty though.

[dupiety]

[Wow, that really is a shift. Temenos has certainly learned something new about Beelzebub today. Quite a few things, honestly. It occurs to him that they haven't discussed what regular life is like for Beelzebub until now...]

That love shines through in the way you speak about him. If he wasn't sleeping soundly before, I'm sure he is now.

[microtransactions]

well, sure, there's always going to be a divide, no one agrees on everything

i just mean the kind where the cracks are wide enough to hide those kinds of networks in. because this isn't just random back alley stuff, right? undesirables doing what they want to in the shadows, independent of each other? it's organized and well established?

[killerwaves]

[ Writing utensils are a hot commodity in this space, but there is one pen! It is hot pink and has the ink to match. No other knickknacks though.

Clicking past the alerts gives you several options on the desktop: ]

REPORTS
NETWORK
?

[townmusician]

[He’s stealing that pen, in honor of Momo-san.

Let’s look at the reports first. Maybe that’ll make the paper make more sense with the power of context clues.]

[killerwaves]

[ As soon as Zelkov picks up the cube, the sides of it retreat kind of like the rock wall actually, just faster. Inside the cube is.... a round, purple, ball. It kind of looks like a grape actually? If a grape was more opaque and slime consistency.

It's wobbling. And it's immediately moving like it's possessed in Zelkov's direction. Think speed of a gunshot, or close thereabout.

Mentioning here because he probably saw before grapes happened, but all the vials look unused except one. ]

[divector]

i see

i guess it really depends on resource management and what they consider the social contract

[microtransactions]

[ magolor is also definitely not in the water, but he is just perched somewhere around the goings on just to vibe, still entirely clothed. therefore: ]

What, with everyone else here as witnesses? That'd be a pretty bold move if I've ever seen one!

[dupiety]

[With a laugh,]

Neither. I was curious to see what sort of reactions I would elicit with it on. It is surprisingly comfortable, though.

[killerwaves]

[ Clicking on the reports brings up on the screen: ]

REPORT 1/3

EXPERIMENT #Z_12
WEIGHT: 68kg
PROPERTIES: Organic, expired, humanoid

REPORT:

Object was placed into LELANTOS at approximately T06:12:13.000Z. Tracing yielded a 26% synchronization, with retrieval initiated despite synchronization not at mandatory levels.

RESULTS: An inorganic object weighing 850g was retrieved. Object suffered from heavy oxidization.

[ A low quality image follows the text , and a prompt appears: print report? ]

[chosenwang]

[ He'll cover his own mouth. ]

Don't worry about it! I was just keeping my word from before.

[ Time to scoot scoot away ]

[gluttoning]

[He chuckles as he sinks himself lower into the onsen water. To think that maybe the comforting heat would travel, to where he knows Belphie waits, and lull him to rest in his absence.]

I hope so. He's been through a lot lately. So he deserves some good dreams.

I miss him texting me to remind me to eat. He can feel his stomach ache when I get too hungry. So he looks out for me.

[chosenwang]

[ Oh, he's an actual Brit. ]

I think the only drowning that might occur will be Lobelia's. [ Since he did de-towel Temmom ]

whispers, now in the right place

[microtransactions]

[ on the wind, a stage whisper: ]

Ouch, writing Chai and Merlin off already, that's cold...

[townmusician]

[Of course he’s printing this report. He needs all the Evidence Of Wild Shit he can get so he can give it to someone who’ll actually theorycraft with all of this. If he can get the picture, too, that’s going to get printed despite the trash quality.

Then onto, presumably, report 2/3. I’m so sorry but he’s gotta get everything he can from this computer.]

[chosenwang]

I doubt you'd take butter knives as payment, but I'll keep it in mind.

[ Hmm ]

We can talk usefulness later.
