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. ))

Good. I'll hold you to it.

[Another smirk, this time less cynical and more genuinely amused.]

Now I just need to find something to do with my time here.

[immortalpoet]

Now I'm regretting not asking for pay.

[Heh.]

What, doing Go-Karts is too high-brow for you?

[dancing_flames]

I'll pass on the Go-Karts, but I could get used to that dance game. That one is more fun than I was expecting it to be.

It's not the same as the real thing, but it'll do for now.

[skyworp]

Do I? Or is it you that resembles me?

[hearnoplague]

Allegedly most of them are, and I quote, "default quests the robots have."

So we are not the first group to be staying here...?

[hearnoplague]

... What kinds of stuff have you seen?

[passetemps]

Elusia is home to a number of hot spring resorts... some of which are, from what I have been told, of truly superior quality.

I just personally do not like them.

[hearnoplague]

Strange... But where do these things all come from? That seems like a lot to be salvaged or crafted...

Especially the stranger things such as soap in cans.

[diabolizes]

[ The hottest raisins around!

But give him a moment to think of the best way to condense everything that happened. ]

That Sect I told you about a few days ago requested all head disciples from other Sects visit and take part in their rigorous education program. A skirmish broke out thanks us growing tired of their horrible treatment, and the girl I protected was being targeted specifically by one of the Sect members.

[diabolizes]

I agree. I’d like items that would improve this vacation.

[ But given it’s a murder vacation… there was never any hope. ]

A bunch of weapons I don’t like using is just a waste of space for me.

[diabolizes]

[ Radiance that’s reflected in his art! Sort of. Her smile is a little bit brighter than he anticipated, so he makes sure to get that preserved in a sketch.

It doesn’t take him too terribly long to finish, and soon enough, he’s turning the notebook around to show her.

His skills are pretty good, and it’s a nice reflection of her. ]

What are your thoughts?

[diabolizes]

[ When he resurfaces, Wei Wuxian shivers. ]

Ah, they weren’t lying about it being cold.

mods about to ban me for turning a network chatter thread into action?

[necrotiem]

[They can meet shortly in the gift shop as promised, with Quin still absently scanning some of the knickknacks on the shelves as she waits. What does one get a stranger...?

She's also dressed noticeable in line with her usual style, which does make it quite obvious that she matches the helmet. Almost as if...someone designed her to have particular look...wild.]

Oh, hello. I hear you have a present for me?

[She's really playing up the conceit here. They'll have a plausible set up for this if it's the last thing they do!]

[passetemps]

They were not.

[ there's maybe a little bit of a smile; he supposes some exhilaration from something that isn't a matter of life and death isn't bad once in a while.

but anyway, this little pool was only intended for one kind of chilling, so he gestures to the ladder. ]

After you.

[hearnoplague]

[ Huh, guess there are plenty more gods beyond his home realm... ]

I wonder if that is truly a coincidence. Those who lead cults tend to hold great power that they may choose to bestow upon their followers. It would not surprise me if they targeted those who deat with them.

[ Now he wonders why they didn't take the Lamb instead of him if that were the case. They were RIGHT THERE. ]

[hearnoplague]

Why do you ask so many questions? Do you not have better things to do?

[immortalpoet]

wow. surprising. thought gods would like attention from a mortal

[idologue]

Plausible!

But in the name of the exercise, that still means your normal form shouldn't count, right?

[idologue]

[ Oh no, she's so scandalized...! Lacus giggles. ]

To see what kind of face you'd make! It's cute!

[ One could even almost feel bad. ]

[idologue]

[ Mr. Pink is just a little orb! He can't say much!

But he rolls to the side as if tilting his head. ]

No Problem! Wanna make me mad?

[diabolizes]

[ Well, don't mind him as he climbs out! His clothes are completely soaked now and it feels like the fabric is getting colder with each second, but he stays to make sure Zelkov can get out just fine, even extending a hand if he needs it. ]

Exhilarating, wasn't it? I saw that smile.

[idologue]

That depends on your personal comfort levels, no...? Most onsens are also gender segregated though...

[idologue]

I certainly think so.

I won't argue that life can be very cruel and many people suffer fates that are unjust and to be lamented... but even so, there is nothing to do but move forward. Make a decision and take a step, again and again. Otherwise you'll simply be buried in your pain.

[passetemps]

That is... an acceptable word for it, I suppose.

[ he'll politely decline the hand in this instance; perhaps unexpectedly for an art nerd, he's very strong and nimble, something the cold has only seemed to enhance... and he pulls himself up out of that pool in a flash. ]
