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

[killerwaves]

[ Postcards go here! They can be posted any day during the week.

IC'ly they're anon unless signed. Characters can feel free to comment on other postcards if they want. ]

[immortalpoet]

[A single scrawled phrase on the postcard posted.]

requiescat in pace

[But then, later in the week:]

don't be upset when i get back there late. i promise you something sweet to make up for it. don't worry.

[divector]

[ Some time during Monday night, the following four multi-colored postcards are added to the board. ]

01/04. Are the both of you having fun? I hope you are, but don't forget what I've asked you two to do. I'm trusting that we're sticking to my plan.

02/04. I look forward to hearing your answer. I'll bring the answers of other people regarding humanity for your reference when I can.

03/04. Get well soon. She's worried about you, though I don't need to say that. You're welcome to stay for as long as you want.

04/04. If you need more info, you know who to ask. Thanks for understanding.

[diabolizes]

[ On Tuesday morning, a new postcard appears on the bulletin board. On it is a drawing sketched in pen of a child half buried in some dirt on a hill, as if he's been planted like a little radish, with a figure that looks a lot like Wei Wuxian next to him watering the ground around him as they both laugh.

For the small space, the drawing is nice. The handwriting, however? Not so much... but it's legible, at least. ]

Be back soon.

[plunges]

[ Tuesday evening rolls around, and a new postcard has appeared. It has a small drawing that resembles a bird taking flight. Its species is unclear. ]

Requesting your guidance, wherever you are.

[chosenwang]

[ The first postcard shows a romantic sunset. ]

Xiaohai, I know you are probably lonely without me but don't worry. You should continue on the journey without me. I'll find my way back to you all as soon as I'm able. Who else will be there to take care of you but me?

[ The second postcard is one of those with ladies in bikinis on it ]

Master, if this manages to find it's way to you, then try to behave. I won't be around to bail you out in case you piss off another Sect or steal someone's wife. You should try to wait to cause more trouble so we can figure a way to make a profit from it.

Check up on him for me. He may look capable, but he has a very gentle soul. I'm leaving him in your hands.

[hearnoplague]

[ A postcard with a shark on it has been pinned to the board backwards! If anyone turns it over, they will find a whole letter taking up the entire length of the postcard. ]

Lamb, I do not know why or how you revived me, but I have reason to believe you sent me to the wrong realm. Return me to my home at once!

[ The postcard is signed by a small doodle of a tall black triangle with a blue circular eye on it. Much like the icon. ]

[dakicover]

[ in somewhat scrawled handwriting, two postcards are placed on the board. ]

1. Sorry to have left you behind like that, Sii-tan! I’m sure that you can finish the mission without me. Remember to eat well, and once I’m back, maybe I’ll try asking for some time off for the two of us. If you’d like, that is.

And if I don’t make it back, well, take care of yourself, ok?

2. Boss, if this is one of your plans, I hate it. It’s awful. Your plans are always awful, and this would be no different. I want two weeks off and hazard pay for everything, including this.

[passetemps]

[ by tuesday, there will be a very un-anonymous postcard with a surprisingly detailed little watercolor-and-pen art piece of three people on the back, along with the message: ]

Kagetsu — I entrust Princess Ivy's care to you. I intend to return as soon as possible, but if I am unable to do so, know that I have valued being your colleague and friend.

(PS: Please write to your family.)

[ and a second slightly-less-obvious one with a small painting of an island in the sky: ]

If I do not make it back to you in time for the final battle, I apologize... but know that you have my full support and confidence. Neither Corrin nor I have any doubt that you will see this through.

[idologue]

[ In nice cursive and on a postcard printed with a starry sky motive: ]

My dearest Kira...

I swear that I will return to your side again, as you have always done for me. My heart is with you day and night. You give me strength. There will be much to talk about on my return.

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ sometime on Thursday, a card shows up with oppressively pink block handwriting. ]

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

MARTMART
I HOPE YOU AND YOUR STUPID PET TAKE A LONG WALK OFF A SHORT CLIFF

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

[ its probably fine. ]

[gluttoning]

[Three cards are up. All have been signed.]

It's hard not knowing when you're tired.

I'm sorry. I'll be home soon. I'll come for you. I won't let them do anything to you. We'll be together.

--

Can I trust you to take care of them?

I don't want to doubt you, Lucifer. Talk to them. Talk to His Majesty. I'll be home. We're going to talk.

Please listen.

--

I can't feel our connection anymore.

If you're out there somewhere, call for me. And if you can't, please go to the HOL. I trust you.

[dupiety]

[The postcard that Temenos attaches to the board features a forest scene in autumn.]

My apologies for the sudden disappearance. I know it must seem worrisome after everything that just happened, but I assure you I did not wander off alone. You all supported me through every step of my journey and I intend to do the same for each of you.

In the event that you must press on without me, I hope to hear good tidings when I return.

[finalforte]

Katsumata-san!!

Kanon didn't leave on purpose, okay? So go on without her! She'll be back A ♥ S ♥ A ♥ P ♥

Ken-chan, Hiro-chan, it's okay to miss Kanon too ♥

[chrysaline]

[ Three postcards are added early Tuesday! The first is a picture of a school of brilliantly-colored fish. ]

Marquess Niccolo, as long as you're there I won't worry about a thing. Try not to push yourself too hard.

[ The second shows a very noble-looking seagull and some shells. ]

Your Eminence, I'm sorry to have missed your ordination. I hope my being absent doesn't cause another delay. I'm looking forward to seeing everything you've done when I return.

[ And the last is yet another romantic sunset postcard. This one is neither signed nor addressed, but presumably the intended recipient would know it. ]

Not this one... but I want to see the beach with you someday. Let's make plans when I return. I know you'll think of something.

[necrotiem]

[A "wish you were here" postcard is pinned up sometime on Tuesday. It isn't signed, but it's crafted in neat, formal script. In lieu of an actual signature, there's a small flourish drawn on the bottom.]

My dear Rias,

I had hoped our paths would cross again. Regrettably, I may have found the one destination where you cannot chase me.

If anyone could track me down, though, it would be you. When I see you again, I think it will be for the last time.

The nights on the beach are beautiful. Don't forget me in the meantime, won't you?

- You Know Who ♡

[stilllovesyou]

To Camilla, Pyrrha and Palamedes:

I'm sorry that I disappeared. I hope that you're okay. I promise I didn't leave on purpose, I was taken away to a beach not on our planet. It's very warm and sunny and there's lots of sand and nice people here who are taking care of me.

I'm okay and safe but I don't know how to get back.

I miss you all lots. Do you know who I am yet?

I love you. Please don't blame yourselves. I'm really sorry I can't spend my birthday with you. I wanted to really badly. But at least you can save money by not buying the rubber bands. I hope they're not giving you a hard time and I hope Hot Sauce and the gang are okay. Can you tell Crown I love her too? Say "I love you, Crown, from Nona."

Love Nona

P.S: I love you all. I promise I'm okay.

Yard Sard
[ Today Kallamar has set out a small bottle of Tide cleaner and a life-sized shish kabob thing on a dining table in the buffet. With them, he bent a postcard in half to write a makeshift sign:

FREE ITEMS
TAKE ONE

If anyone needs to speak with him about this, he'll be eating breakfast nearby. Yes, he put random seafood into a bowl and is eating it with a fork. ]

[dakicover]

1. waterfall
[ well, this is actually something interesting for crea. characters can find him at the top of the cliff in swim trunks and a shirt, waving happily at your character once he finds them nearby. ]

Heey! Come here! Let's jump together!

2. aviary
[ later in the day, crea can be found roaming the aviary. he's wearing a hoodie from the gift shop now, with a bit of seeds in his hand that the kittybot had so graciously given him. ]

I'm not actually sure what purpose this serves. It's kind of like a chicken coop, so are we supposed to ea—ow!

[ an angry couple of geese have teamed up. if crea won't give them the seed, then they're going to take it from him. ]

Uh. Help?

[plunges]

AVIARY

[ The first thing Xiao does on Monday is explore the new island. He's surprised to see a collection of birds, one that's manmade, and he largely wants to set them free, because that's how wildlife should be.

When he steps foot inside, though, he goes towards the cranes. He watches them with a fond look on his face. That is immediately interrupted by a goose waddling over to him and flapping in his face. ]

You are-

[ The goose starts honking. It keeps honking. It does not stop, even as Xiao tries to walk away from it. It follows. Help... ]

MINI GOLF

[ Later in the day, Xiao can be found leaving two small bouquets near the golf course's entrance. One of them is orange, and the other is white. He places them down, puts space between them. He also sets down a very small plate of food in front of each bouquet. He closes his eyes and raises his head.

If anyone is looking his way, he will glance over at them, but he says nothing. He'll just look down at the flowers for a moment, instead. ]

WILDCARD

[ Hmu with anything, as always! Available via DM for PCs/custom starters/etc. ]

[chosenwang]

I. Leap of Faith (Locked to WWX but others can react)

[ Did anyone think that Wang Lu wouldn't take the plunge with someone? He's dressed up in bright shorts and a white tee with blue bikini airbrushed over a fake figure. ]

Did you ever think you would take the leap with me? [ His tone is light as he gives a wink to the one beside him. ]

II. Spa Day (Open)

[ Later in the day, he can spotted at the spa wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt and black shorts to match. He's going to turn to anyone peeking in and gesture for them to come closer ]

Feeling like trying one of the facial masks. Care to join me?

notice

[killerwaves]

[ As of Monday night there are no more butterknives at the buffet. Time to get creative if you want to eat civilized. ]

[idologue]

1. Arcade
[ This place is quite far from Lacus' usual habitat of luxurious gardens and long empty beaches. She's an outdoors kind of girl, in the same way a fairytale princess is an outdoors kind of girl. But all of Rapt0r's talk about video games had already made her curious, and then Chai's last action had been playing here... How could she not want to know what this is about?

If you catch her early into this endeavor, she'll kind of suck at games. There's going to be a lot of 'oh my' and 'oops' as she drives her racecar off the track or has her jump-and-run character fall into lava. But anyone watching her over her shoulder will quickly find out her learning curve is insane. It's not long before she plays at a decent level, eventually even placing herself #7 on the Top 10 scoreboard of a racing game. She hums to herself, mildly satisfied. ]

... so this is what it's about, hm?

2. Onsen
[ How could she ever resist the nostalgic draw of hot springs? The pool and the ocean are nice, but there is something unbeatable about relaxing in the hot water of an onsen - even when you've done it hundreds of times. Or maybe because of that.

Lacus is lost in thought sitting in the bath, a towel wrapped around her body and her hair tied up to not get wet, but when she hears someone approach, she'll wave in greeting. ]

Come in - the water is quite nice! I haven't been in an open air spring like this in a long time. Funnily enough, the one I frequented the most was a facsimile on a spaceship... while we were under the sea, no less!

3. Bulletin Board
[ You can find Lacus either reading other people's message or putting up her own. She's not shy about it being hers anyway, so if you want to snoop on it right after, she won't stop you. ]

What a bittersweet display this is... We have to make sure these sentiments reach their recipients.

4. Wildcard
[ Lacus can always be found walking the beach singing a soft little song or another. This is a given. Also she has two Haros with her as she does does - Mr. Pink and an orange one! ]

[finalforte]

A. Spa

[Is it a surprise at all to find Kanon in the spa?

Probably not! A towel is draped around her shoulders as her hair dries, although the towel itself seems to be... mildly stained with red... Actually, there's some suspiciously red liquid in one of the sinks, too???

Kanon doesn't seem to pay it any mind, currently busy doing her nails with a nice bright red, perfectly matched to her hair - which, actually, is a little brighter than before as a matter of fact.

Come interrupt her? Ask her for assistance with your own hair and/or nails? It probably depends on who's asking, but she does seem to be in a good mood if nothing else.]

B. Onsen

[Later, she can found bathing at the onsen, humming a tune to herself. Fully in the nude of course - she has a great body and isn't at all ashamed of it, so if your character's decided to drop by the baths as well - enjoy the view??]

Now this is more like it ♪
