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)

JUST JUMP, YA COWARD
[ Today you will find the resident squid god at the waterfall. He seems to be loitering at the edge of the plunge, staring down into the deep, sparkling abyss. ]

Is there no other way down? [ He asks himself, contemplating the jump. How sharp are those pretty gems at the bottom? ]

Jewels of the deep
[ Later, after he finally works up the nerve to just dive in, he will spend much of the day in at the bottom... In a corner of the jewel colored pool close to the gem formations. He seems rather relaxed, as though this spot reminds him of home.

He does occasionally come out to try and order the kittybots around, but as a sea creature he can afford to hide underwater where he can not be distributed...

Or so he thinks. ]

Onsen Episode

[chosenwang]

[ He will let people know either on the network or in person to meet up at the Onsen. It's time to get to know each other better! Also towels are encouraged because think of Little Xiao the kids! If they want to go full swinging for all to see though...he won't stop them. ]

[dupiety]

[Temenos has always been under the impression that onsens are supposed to be quiet and relaxing, and cramming this many people into it for mingling purposes seems to be the exact opposite. However, given that it's Wang Lu gathering everyone, Temenos has little choice but to attend.

He's here, lower half covered by a towel, and trying to enjoy his little corner of the spring. He won't say no to visitors, of course.

Whenever he's out of the water, he can be found wearing...this? as a cover-up. He looks pretty cozy in it. Wonder where he got it from?]

[chosenwang]

[chosenwang]

I guess being a neko does suit you. Hold up you hand real quick. [ He'll show him what he means by holding up his own hand like it's a paw.

Also he's in a robe himself and just standing outside of the water. ]

[conchy]

[There's nothing soothing about piling into a crowded onsen, but that won't stop Lobelia from doing exactly that to harass his favorite people. Speaking of? Bonjour, Daddy.

Blessedly, Lobelia has also donned a towel for the occasion, settling in right beside Temenos because what is personal space? Who needs it?]

I see you've decided to return the favor!

[???]

[hearnoplague]

[ Squid friend is outside of the onsen as fully clothed as a squid can be. He wanders near the edge where Temenos is sitting. ]

Surprised to see you here, Temenos.

[dancing_flames]

[Don't mind Shuda (in a towel, thank you very much, he has some decency) just stopping and sort of staring at Temenos' choice of outfit here. That sure is a pair of cat ears on that hoodie.]

... didn't think you were the type. Or did you lose a bet?

[gluttoning]

[Someone at least has not brought food into the onsen, though he can be found stealing from the fruit in front of the showers before he even gets into the springs. Mm, delicious.

Enjoy the beef even with a towel around his waist, because he is tall and muscular and that constant exercise he is doing has definitely paid off. Not that he's doing much with it at the moment, outside of wading to one of the deepest parts of the onsen, taking a seat, and almost immediately dozing off.

zzz]

[dupiety]

[Beelzebub doesn't look in danger of slipping under the water, but Temenos comes over to check on him anyway.

He gives him a gentle nudge with his shoulder.]

Enjoying yourself, sleepyhead?

[chosenwang]

[ Someone sure is cooking beef in the onsen.

Anyways, since he's sleeping, Wang Lu is going to just wade over there to draw on his face. Doo de doo. How far will he get before the other wakes up? ]

[dakicover]

Beel~

[ is an onsen supposed to be relaxing? this is a well known fact, isn't it?

well that's too bad because crea is still going to lean to splash water up to the snoozing beelzebub. ]

[finalforte]

[For someone harping on the rules when it comes to towels she certainly doesn't seem to care when it comes to splashing water in a sleeping person's face. Just a little, more of a flick than a wave.]

[passetemps]

[ i will provide no commentary on zelkov's beef opinions, but he will at some point become mildly concerned and get out of the bath to bring over a cool bottle of water. ]

Take care not to let yourself become dehydrated. The high temperatures and the mineral content of the water can make this a risk.

[ especially since your metabolism seems to be a whole Thing ]

[necrotiem]

[holy shit it is a sausage fest]

Perhaps I shouldn't?

[And here is Quin... who has a towel with her but appears to have thrown on a beach coverup after rinsing off first. She is certainly so demure and shy, being a lady of a noble house.]

I wouldn't want the other ladies to get the wrong idea about me.

[idologue]

[ DO NOT FEAR, shy flower that is Waltaquin! Here's Lacus, stepping inside dressed in nothing but a large towel wrapped very tightly around her. ]

Oh my. Shall we risk our reputations together, then? I'm afraid I can't resist the call of a group outing after all.

[immortalpoet]

[If you all thought Vergilius was going to have some hot onsen fun...he is not. Instead he is fully dressed, glancing in with the most Disapproving Dad Face a man can muster.]

Are you really doing this. We have three dead people.

[RUINING THE PARTY TIME!!!]

[hearnoplague]

[ Kallamar is kind of overdressed for this. Granted, he is only wearing an oversized hoodie like always, but it's a lot more than everyone else...

He regards everyone gathered with a bewildered look, only stopping a moment to check his phone. ]

... I was under the impression this was meant to be a meeting?

[ You know, an actually important meeting?! ]

[chrysaline]

[ Well... Psyche is in favor of gatherings. And she can adapt to the local standards. She's very securely wrapped in a towel and looking fairly amused at all of this, even if she's mostly trying to drift closer to any other girls out of solidarity. ]

I'm a little surprised so many people turned up.

[passetemps]

[ well, this is just zelkov's official onsen wear now by virtue of it being the one thing he can wear in canon that involves a towel around the waist (and because i think it's funny) — though there are absolutely swim trunks underneath it, he is not taking chances with this group.

much like the party the first week, he had no desire to attend, but finally reluctantly came along thanks to another's persuasion. (lacus had a much easier time of it than merlin did, rip.) unfortunately, since there's water involved this time, it's seriously limited his options for things he can bring to distract himself with, so he can't just lose himself in the arts and crafts abyss for 75% of the event like before.

he will just be sitting stiffly in the darkest corner of the onsen for most of this gathering... though for anyone he's on decent terms with, he'll at least make an effort to be amiable. ]

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ Honestly, just being here to people watch and watch everyone be an absolute idiot is worth about 90% of the price of admission for Alice, who's here with a very large towel on. She's more than happy to find her own spot along the rocks and just sit with anybody. Maybe a little too close? It's probably fine. ]

Think we can get them in here? Talk about a wet blanket.

[ She's absolutely nodding completely non-subtly in any of the people who are not partaking's direction.

But if she sees anybody even coming remotely close to the cold plunge, she's absolutely going to try and coerce them in. Forcefully or otherwise. ]

[plunges]

[ TOO BAD, little Xiao is here after being relentlessly dragged into the springs by Wei Wuxian. He's covered from the waist down, at least, but he looks a little out of his element.

He's made an attempt to try and stay away from the more crowded areas of the spring, but he's sitting next to Wei Wuxian, arms folded across his chest, eyes closed.

If he's not in the springs, he ca can be found chilling on some of the nearby rocks with his beachwear attire on, brooding as usual. ]

[butcherspice]

[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?

[finalforte]

[She does not wear a towel because it's literally an onsen!! You aren't supposed to put your towel in the water, obviously!!!

And also, of course, to show off.

But she's otherwise being a good girl, keeping her hair tied up and out of the water and enjoying herself.]

Geeze, no one here follows the rules.
