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. ))

i never got one of those, but i did get a helmet with leaf decorations

i'm not sure how much that'd help here

un: jadefield

[necrotiem]

Leaf decorations? Like a laurel? I don't suppose it's white.

[divector]

it is actually

one of the robots handed it over to me last week

i'm still not sure why

[necrotiem]

How bizarre. I do believe there's a chance that might be mine, though I've no idea how it might have gotten here.

[If Moravia had seen her at the beginning of their "vacation," it would be pretty easy to see that the helmet did indeed match the outfit Waltaquin was wearing on arrival, too.]

Perhaps they confused the two of us?

[divector]

[ In hindsight, that makes perfect sense. ]

could be the case. maybe they saw a girl with long hair and thought it was close enough?

well, i can hand it over anytime you want. it's just been sitting in the toucan cabana, so i'll have to head there first though

[necrotiem]

How very offensive if they think we all look alike. I'd be happy to have it back. You never know when you might need more armor for combat.

Does it count as a gift if I've already owned it? That'd be work for you done and dusted, then.

[divector]

oh, you have a point there. i was thinking i should do some of the tasks this week

sure, I acknowledge it as something the robots gave me, which i am now regifting

in return, i'll see if you like whatever comes out of this

[necrotiem]

Then we have an accord. Since it's in writing, I don't see how they can deny us.

...Is what I would say, if I trusted there to not be some bizarre catch. [She will continue to treat the tasks as conditionally profitable alone, so as not to be taken by nasty surprise.]

Would you like to meet?

[divector]

there probably is coming from them

[ but considering everything, might as well actually try again

not that she remembers trying before but hey ]

all right, just name the place. i'm not doing anything pressing at the moment

[necrotiem]

Why not one of the shops? I shall acquire something to give you in exchange for the meanwhile.

[Never mind that they've had access to the gift shop and the boutique all along and that nothing from there will really count as a gift anyway...

It'll make for a good placeholder, and also she doesn't care all THAT much about equivalent exchange.]

[divector]

then the gift shop should be fitting. see you there as soon as i collect it

[ Well, it's no skin off her back, so she doesn't mind either way! At least it shouldn't take her too long to make her way back to the cabanas and then the gift shop. ]

do you want them to have a little private connection time or should they just go to action?

[necrotiem]

Yes, yes, I'll see you there.

Now to just figure out what sort of present suits you...

[Has she actually met this person before, ever? Waltaquin has to pause on her way to the shop to even consider this.

Who the hell is this?]

i'm cool with whichever if you want to cut to somewhere!

[divector]

well, it's fun to see what people come with, but no need to think too hard about it. later

[ And off she goes, currently oblivious to the possible confusion that might ensue from this. ]

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!]

[divector]

[ How fun! Moravia giggles at that when she finally arrives, hiding the package behind her back like it's totally meant to be a surprise. ]

Right, I picked this out just before this. I hope you enjoy it.

[ And with that, she twirls and holds out the package with a flourish. Might as well be flashy about it if it's a gift, right? ]

[skyworp]

Hardly, I’d think. Can’t stand on a helmet.

Ah, but the thought is appreciated.

[divector]

yeah, that probably won't work as is

maybe there's something on the new island that'll work? i haven't explored all the places yet

[skyworp]

Have a look around for me, would you? I find myself rather


inconvenienced.

[divector]

i'll text you if i notice something

though my guess is that you'd have better luck with the go-kart and mini-golf areas for something more mechanical
