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. ))

To see how useful they really are and if people wind up missing them.

[chrysaline]

Extortion? I really hadn't expected that from you, Wang Lu.

[chosenwang]

[ Psyche is too good and he's starting to feel a bit of regret. ]

It's all in good fun. Besides, it'll be all restocked anyways. [ But what if butter knife economy ]

[chrysaline]

[ Is she really good if she's bullying him... she stifles a giggle. ]

Then you won't be able to trade for them for very long, right? Have you gotten any offers?

[chosenwang]

[ A BULLY ]

None as of yet. Still waiting for people to miss them. Might need a little incentive... [ Maybe he should sell everyone on pancake or waffles for breakfast ]

[chrysaline]

[ hehe ]

You mean, get the little cats running the buffet to make sure everything needs butter? Or maybe, everyone's already found replacements.

[chosenwang]

You think they are so easily replaced? [ Grabbing a butter knife to demonstrate ] There's a reason we picked them. I'm sure you could use a spatula, but it doesn't cut into the butter or smooth it over just as well.

[chrysaline]

[ Oh! A little applause for this completely smooth sales pitch. ]

But you're in trouble if people don't like butter that much. Or what if they just use jam instead? A spoon would be fine for that...

[chosenwang]

Are you saying we should steal all of the jam as well? That might be a sticky situation.

[chrysaline]

[ That's... that's terrible. How is she supposed to be ladylike when she has to cover her mouth to stifle the laugh for that pun? ]

No! Don't use me as an excuse to steal anything else!

[chosenwang]

Too late to say no. I think that makes you now an accomplice.

[chrysaline]

[ Is this revenge for bullying...? ]

Then, should I tell everyone on the device who took all the knives?

[chosenwang]

[ Maybe ]

You could, but would you do that to poor Magolor?

[ Look at the orb having fun trading spears with a possible murderbot ]

[chrysaline]

[ Wang Lu you are so lucky Magolor is adorable ]

I can say it was all your idea. ...It probably was all your idea, wasn't it?

[chosenwang]

[ He'll try to use Magolor more often then ]

As much as I would love to take full credit, it was a joint venture.

[chrysaline]

[ SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE ASKED... now she'd have to lie if she posted that. ]

You two... [ honestly! ] I hope you get something good out of it.

[ Wait! A thought. ] Actually! I didn't have anything I wanted to trade, but maybe one of you recognizes some of the things I've been receiving? I don't know if any of them might be dangerous. Not that we can do much about it if it is, but...

[chosenwang]

[ It looks like the orb is getting something good at least ]

Oh? We have had people asking if we have seen certain objects of theirs. What did you?

[chrysaline]

I'll go get them! Just a minute.

[ And she pelts off to do that! She will return with: a flare gun, a box of 5 shotgun shells, and one slippery nut (no effects). ]

Do either of you know what they are? I can't imagine anyone is missing just one nut, though.

[ It could be a sentimental nut. She doesn't know! ]

[chosenwang]

[ Why does she have something called a slippery nut? Why is she asking if anyone is missing a nut?

Covering his mouth for a moment. ]

You can see if one of the others might want the nut for a joke. [ You know, like WWX might ]

The first is a flare gun. I received one like it as well and it might be useful for you to hold on to. The other ones are shotgun shells. Might be best not to give those to anyone, but they feel like something that old guy... [ Hmm ] Billy? He might be into it.

[microtransactions]

I don't think the gun's unique. And if it's like the harpoon, it might not belong to anyone if a bunch of us are getting it.

[ why one nut. ]

But yeah, I know some people are missing things of theirs ... even before this I know some folks were on the lookout for certain things. Maybe we should expand this? Get some more room for everyone to say what they might be looking for?

[chrysaline]

[ She glances between both of them, narrowing her eyes just briefly at Wang Lu's expression. She's missing something... it's fine. ]

Ho-oh... Overhaul did tell me that some things just appear like that. If no one's missing it, then I'll keep it. You just pull this part here?

[ She won't actually fire it, but she's giving it her best guess from crossbow parallels. ]

I think that would be useful! Are you going to trade other people their things back, too?

[microtransactions]

I do remember him saying that. Though I guess now we know they can come in parts, too, because those bullets sure are... something. I don't think anyone came here with the right kind of equipment to use them with, unless it's called something else on our profiles.

[ though that doesn't necessarily mean that no one's gotten a gun with no ammo in the last few weeks. ]

And... maybe, if enough people need it? [ beat. ] Probably going to need more than one table in that case!

[chosenwang]

[ He'll explain later. ]

Aim for the sky and pull the trigger if you need help. [ A beat ] If it happens to be on a certain night and everyone is asleep, aim for whomever else is awake. Aim for their leg or arm. It might break bones or give them a really bad burn.

[ Might keep her safe until the morning though ]

[microtransactions]

[ looks

extremely innocent? from over in the peanut gallery ]

[chrysaline]

[ that face........ the cat ears. You can't blame cats for anything! ]
