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. ))

[ god i made a choice starting with this cube

well since avoidance is his specialty and he's already kind of dressed like he's in the matrix he will do a SICK DODGE MOVE here, it's fine. also this is the moment where i realize i did not icon any fighting moves. ]

Watch out!

[ a shouted warning to haruka just in case it's headed in his direction after being dodged?? HOPEFULLY NOT? ]

[chosenwang]

It looks like the onsen was designed for a larger group than ours. There's plenty of room.

[killerwaves]

[ The potato quality picture does get printed out with the report! Yay. Onto report #2: ]


EXPERIMENT # Z_13
WEIGHT: 58.9.kg
PROPERTIES: Organic with synthetic part(s), expired, humanoid

REPORT:

Object was placed into LELANTOS at approximately TT05:33:07.000Z. Tracing yielded a 31% synchronization, with retrieval initiated despite synchronization not at mandatory levels.

RESULTS: An organic object weighing 808g was retrieved. Object functioned briefly and emitted heat before going inert after 482 seconds.

[ The picture with this one is also low quality but it might be better than nothing?? ]

[necrotiem]

We were a larger group.

[Quite pointedly, as she steps to the edge of the water and allows herself to sit.]

Though even with that many of us, we'd have been hard pressed to fill it all.

[chosenwang]

[ He probably came to remind them all he's still a grump ] Right? Maybe he'll warm up a little through proximity?

[gluttoning]

Eh?

Wang Lu? What are you talking ab--

[oh... bye.........]

Hey, where are you going?

[killerwaves]

[ There is Haruka doing his best as an office lady and some renegade mutated grape goes flying at him? In some universe at least, because the purple glob whizzes by Zelkov to stick securely on the poster (right on the guy's face naturally) behind him with a loud smack and then goes still. ]

[dupiety]

My, the connection is that strong, is it? How fascinating...

[Twins are on a whole different level than he could have imagined!]

Ah, I don't mean to intrude into personal matters too much if you'd rather not speak about it, but is everything all right at home?

[townmusician]

[…Oh. He does not like the pieces that are coming together with all of this.

Printing out report two, now on to report three to see what (who) got chucked into this LELANTOS.]

[passetemps]

[ phew.

okay, he'll go over and look at the glob for a second now that it's hopefully out of commission for the moment. did it like, go splat, or is it still round but just stuck on? anything to note about its appearance when it's sitting still? does it smell like anything? ]

[dancing_flames]

So how many people have pulled on the tail so far?

[Because look he has seen the sorts of things this group gets up to, there is no way that no one has tried that yet.]

[killerwaves]

EXPERIMENT #Z_14
WEIGHT: 61.5kg
PROPERTIES: Organic, expired, humanoid

REPORT:

Object was placed into LELANTOS at approximately TT05:34:13.000Z. Tracing yielded a 38% synchronization, with retrieval initiated despite synchronization not at mandatory levels.

RESULTS: A biomass weighing 5.4kg with a precipitation of ice crystals was retrieved.

[ Along with the lovingly rendered picture for this report. And Zelkov shouting but Haruka was out of line of sight for the grape of wrath, luckily. ]

[gluttoning]

...

Um.

[He just kind of looks to the side where there are at least fifteen other people, and just shakes his head, his voice going quiet.]

It's fine. But I'd rather not talk about it.

[killerwaves]

[ Still round, just stuck on the poster. And nothing else to note about its appearance, and it has no smell. ]

[townmusician]

[Printing that out and looking up at Zelkov as he waits… Is he okay…

He’s staring at some goop on the wall, which is probably fine?]

…Is everything okay?

[Now, time to go back to the computer and check out the network. Please don’t die, Zelkov.]

[diabolizes]

[ He laughs. ]

It would be fun, though. Do you think it would get the attention of our captors?

[diabolizes]

[ love when things work out ]

Something surprising... I'll look forward to that. I hope you put some creativity into it.

[diabolizes]

But the problem with telling me that is that I want to pull it now.

[ In contrast with his words, he carefully picks up the flare gun. ]

Could you defend yourself against it?

[passetemps]

[ hm. guess he will just... take a picture of this grape on his phone and move on with his life as i side eye the mods

back to the lab... and just to check on that used vial that he barely looked at before grape crimes, is there anything left in it/how does it look used?

he'll go up and get a better look at the equipment after checking that. what's up with this maybe-centrifuge, not that he knows what that is in the first place? does it look like there are any samples or anything in there? ]

[dupiety]

Ah, I see. A most unfortunate miscommunication.

[But since Kallamar brought it up...]

I agree with you that we are due for another meeting to discuss such business. Assuming the weekend does not go sideways again, I can begin drafting one up.

[killerwaves]

[ It's fine.

>NETWORK! There's a lot of grayed out boxes on screen here, with numerous other letter and outpost combinations along with a flashing alert. In the middle is a particularly large box titled KRATOS that has lines connecting it all the other outposts but K-4 ]

UNABLE TO TRANSMIT TO MAINFRAME. OUTPOST IS IN RECEIVE MODE ONLY.

SECURITY ALERT: DOOR TO OUTPUT K-4 UNSECURE FOR 7100 seconds

[ The seconds number on the security keeps ticking up along with the actual seconds. ]

[dupiety]

None, surprisingly!

[And without missing a beat,]

Would you like to be the first, Shuda?

[killerwaves]

[ There's a speck of blood in the vial.

Maybe!Centrifuge time. All of this looks a bit complicated but there is a plain screen with the simple prompt, blinking slowly: ]

INSERT SAMPLE:

[dupiety]

[Ah.....

Temenos' expression flickers with concern, and a bit of embarrassment. He has become far too accustomed to pressing for information just about anywhere and anytime.]

Of course. If you do feel you need to talk about it elsewhere, please reach out to me.

[townmusician]

[Time to use that hot pink pen to write down KRATOS in big letters, as well as the other outpost combinations and a note about K4 not being connected.

Also that security alert.

Hm.

How long has it been since the beeping started?]
