WEEK THREE

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!

[ 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.

[conchy]

Oh dear... Could you be homesick?

[gluttoning]

[In the same handwriting as the postcards:]

I'd rather be there than here.

[conchy]

Understandably. It sounds as if you're the pillar of support for those waiting for you back home.

[gluttoning]

I want them to stay safe.

Stop writing notes. This is getting annoying. Just come find me.

[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.

Re: BULLETIN BOARD

[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.

[butcherspice]

[Two anonymous postcards go up in the middle of the night to be found Wednesday morning.

The first has a woodpecker on it.]

Not dead yet. Tell you-know-who I'm on business and I'll bring him a souvenir. I didn't forget about him.

[The second has a canary on it.]

Tell the rest of the boys I ain't taking off to go off the grid again. Karaoke machine here's got Billy Joel on it, thought of you and your old codger music. Don't turn into a total bootlicker while I'm gone and I'll try not to turn into a complete dickhead without you around.

[skyworp]

[There's a nice postcard featuring some gulls at sunset on the sea, though on the other side the handwriting is atrocious, as if one were struggling to hold a pen.]

Dearest Shockwave,

It'll be a while. But it already has been, hasn't it? Don't have too much fun in my absence - but leave me something exciting for when I get back.

Which I will.

Then we can give it another shot.

- Your partner in crime

[microtransactions]

[ it's unsigned, but the sender is probably obvious. the first is a cute shot of some scenic view of the islands at night. ]

Wishing you weren't here!

No, but seriously, 0/10, wouldn't recommend. But hey, if nothing else, I can come back with all sorts of new ideas for even more fun things to look into and build ... oh, but of course I'll avoid anything too dangerous.

Don't miss me too much, okay? ★

[ the second is a bit more to the point, and on some cute stationary with saccharinely sweet pink accents and highlights? ]

Hey, do you take suggestions for where to take your company next? Because I think I've got a decent contender!

[dancing_flames]

[Two postcards go up on Thursday morning, both penned in a slightly messy hand.]

You don't need to worry about Haru. He doesn't need my protection anymore.

We'll be back soon enough-- both of us.

[And the second:]

I'm trusting you not to be too stupid, so don't go disappointing me. Make Gale proud.
