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. ))

You really tell yourself that...?

[Almost saying it in a pitying way....]

Uh-huh. I can talk if I want to. Depends on the mood.

[skyworp]

[Hm. A frown of disappointment, but his interest is piqued.]

Aren’t you just setting yourself up to be hurt? There is no avoiding the inevitable.

[passetemps]

[ a slight bow as thanks for the compliment. ]

I am Princess Ivy's retainer, first and foremost. I would be unable to properly fulfill my duty to protect her if my physical condition were inadequate.

[ now for some dry towels... ]

[hearnoplague]

Hm... That does little to explain the sacrifices unless this island previously fed on those it could lure in with the promise of "vacation."

As for those machines... I do not think they have been around that long. Maybe fifty years at most? I cannot be sure.

[diabolizes]

Oh, a retainer? Do you test food for poison as well?

[ Sorry that’s where his thoughts immediately go.

At least he manages to hand Zelkov a dry towel. ]

[passetemps]

When I deem there to be reason for suspicion, yes.

[ taking the towel (assuming wwx already has one himself!!) ]

Thank you.

[necrotiem]

[Waltaquin crosses her arms in thought.]

I think it was for vacation, but at some point that more pleasant and mundane purpose was eventually usurped by an event...perhaps one that caused the anomaly and brought our captors here in the same swoop.

Which do you think is more likely: That those two came to this island when the machines already existed here, or that they built them themselves?

[She's trying to imagine either of those men having taste that encompasses catbots. It isn't working.]

[divector]

i read that as romance sidequest

good luck with that

[handsheld]

PASS

anything that sounds like that is preprogrammed in the bots

i cant be bothered to change it

[chrysaline]

"Previous life"? [ Is this him being eccentric again... she'll remember this. ] I'm still not taking the blame for the jam!

[chrysaline]

Hm... you're good at looking out for people like that. It's nice to meet up just to relax a little. If we only do group gatherings when things are difficult, I think it'll be harder for us to work together.

[chrysaline]

Still... it's strange that someone would put a — a rite, or a machine, or whatever brought us here at a resort, isn't it?

[ It's weird either way! But Psyche shakes her head to dismiss that. ]

Well, I guess you're right. It's nice to see you here.

[chrysaline]

You aren't? Um... I think this kind of party wouldn't work very well if everyone came without them, though. [ Would it not be distracting?? ] ...Do you have these where you're from?

[divector]

LMAO

i'm betting whoever programmed the bots has a really weird sense of humor and is probably glad you can't

[handsheld]

that almost makes me want to try

but its not like theres a reason for me to do them

[chosenwang]

[ It feels a little embarrassing when she puts it like that. Waving his hand as if he's brushing it off ]

It's just for my own selfish desires. Nothing more than that.

[conceivesfrenzy]

Of course! Why would I lie about something like that?

[ completely ignoring that tone......... she doesn't need that negativity rn ]

And what's the mood right now~?

[finalforte]

That's laaaaaaame!

[finalforte]

[SQUEE.]

It's perfect!

[diabolizes]

[ He gives Zelkov a nod before he starts toweling off his hair. ]

So, have you developed some sort of immunity? Or do you know what typical poisons will smell or taste like with a single lick?

[ He likes morbid topics, he can't help it. ]

[dancing_flames]

Not gourmet cuisine, I'll tell you that much straight up. The kind of thing you can make and eat on the road.

[Sometimes it's a long way between towns or cities and there's no one around but you. You either learn how to make passable food or you're stuck eating charcoal until you get to civilization.]

It's filling, if nothing else.

[chosenwang]

Maybe next time. [ Is it? ] Blame. Inspiration. [ Same difference ]

Let me know if you have a list of anything in particular you want.

[divector]

just leave it be and keep the popcorn ready

much less work and probably more fun

[diabolizes]

[ He grins. ]

Of course it is~

[ Wei Wuxian carefully tears it out of the notebook, making sure that the edge of the page is clean and presentable before handing it over. ]

Here you are.

[handsheld]

lol yeah

[ And it's not like he's a hacker, he has a guy for that who's name he can't remember. But he has a guy for that. ]
