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)

[diabolizes]

[ He laughs, tempted to nudge Wang Lu in the side, but that's not a great idea right where they are. ]

Ah, Wang Lu... if you desperately want to hold my hand, just grab it. Or are you all talk and no bite?

[ Because Wei Wuxian absolutely is. ]

[chosenwang]

On the contrary, I am worried about my dear senior beside me. It might be a bit much for your age.

[ He goes hold out his hand for him. Want to hold hands? ]

[diabolizes]

Afraid you'll give me a heart attack, are you?

[ He grins, hesitating for a moment as he looks at Wang Lu's hand before taking it. ]

Ready to jump whenever you are.

[chosenwang]

I'm already too much for many hearts to handle. [ Just look at this airbrushed beach body. ] Adding on to our height...

[ They are now holding hands. ]

On go, okay? One. Two. Three... go! [ Time to jump! ]

[diabolizes]

[ That just makes him laugh, which is a nice little mood boost right before they jump.

...And jump they do, Wei Wuxian letting go of Wang Lu's hand at some point while they're in midair so that they don't crash into one another. The plunge itself is cathartic, and he resurfaces after a couple of seconds, his hair and t-shirt a sopping wet mess. He takes a few seconds to get some of said hair out of his face as he looks over at Wang Lu, a grin on his lips. ]

So, how was it for you?

[chosenwang]

[ Is it as magical as the little mermaid hair flip?

Once he breaks the water, he runs his hand over his hair to make sure it's out of his face and looking decent still. He'll try not to laugh at that. ]

Do you normally ask your that of your partners? [ That's how it sounds.

Pulling on his own shirt. ] I could go again, but maybe next time we shouldn't be in white. [ Unless Wei Wuxian managed to sneak some extra layers under that shirt. ]

[diabolizes]

Ah, Wang Lu. Don't ask such personal questions out in the open!

[ But he'll give Wang Lu that point, because he's not wrong about the way it sounded.

Wei Wuxian decides to forego his shirt completely, wringing it out in his hands above the water. He's better built than the layers he normally wears would ever suggest, but what's more notable (or maybe not) is the sun-shaped brand on the left side of his chest. ]

It's probably best to forego our modesty entirely and skip the shirts.

[chosenwang]

It's only you, me, and the crystals below.

[ Well, there's also the catbots.

Time to strip! He'll give a whistle at Wei Wuxian taking his shirt off first because might as well keep it up. Then he'll take his own shirt off to ball it up. He's about to toss it when he spots that brand mark. ]

That looks like it must have hurt.

[diabolizes]

It hurt less than the woman’s life that would have been ruined by having this burned into her face.

[ Wei Wuxian shrugs, wringing his shirt out once more. ]

I don’t know if your world is the same in this respect, but a woman would face derision for a scar like this while a man would be celebrated. It isn’t fair, but I’d rather bear this than whatever pain she might have gone through.

[chosenwang]

I had a feeling you were quite the gentlemen.

[ Wei Wuxian keeps proving himself to be a good. He'll toss his shirt ball over towards the shore.]

It's true for my world and I'm assuming a number of them out there. It's quite the shame, because scars can be quite attractive. Even more of a shame that someone was put in that position in the first place. [ Is there more to the story? ]

[diabolizes]

[ Wei Wuxian follows suit, throwing his shirt off to the side to join Wang Lu's. ]

That it is.

[ He has a feeling that Wang Lu wants the #deets, though. ]

It's a long story, but I could tell you the basic details.

[chosenwang]

I could listen to you tell a long story, but we might wind up looking like prunes if it does take up that long.

[ How attractive they would be...a couple of raisins ]

I'll settle for the basic details.

[diabolizes]

[ The hottest raisins around!

But give him a moment to think of the best way to condense everything that happened. ]

That Sect I told you about a few days ago requested all head disciples from other Sects visit and take part in their rigorous education program. A skirmish broke out thanks us growing tired of their horrible treatment, and the girl I protected was being targeted specifically by one of the Sect members.

[chosenwang]

[ Time is fake ]

How many rules did they have? [ He can guess it was probably wasn't just a rigorous education program. ] Does it still hurt?

[diabolizes]

As many as they wanted at any given time.

[ So, naturally, it was a blast! ]

It doesn’t hurt anymore, no. It’s long since stopped hurting.

[chosenwang]

Ah, one of those. I don't think I'd last under that kind of rule. Would be very tempting to see how many rules I can bend without breaking or if they would need to add more just for me.

[ He'll resist the urge to touch it because that's in quite the location ]

[diabolizes]

[ It sure is, isn’t it!! ]

Oh, it was tempting, trust me. I had to be on my best behavior for the sake of my Sect, though, even if I wanted to stir trouble.

[ He only did it in smaller ways instead until he had a good opportunity to really cause some drama. ]

[chosenwang]

You're a better man than I would be. [ He would have caused so much shit ]

What started the whole thing, anyways? Something was probably already brewing for some time with groups like that, but what made them take action?

[diabolizes]

Power. I think it was some way to assert their dominance over the other Sects by requesting us to come learn underneath them.

[ As all things... it comes back to power. ]
