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)

There's no need to look so downtrodden! Surely they designed it with both form and safety in mind.

[On the other hand, it's a thought she seems quite intrigued by entertaining! The crystals look like they could be a real hazard, should someone end up descending at the wrong angle.

Isn't this fun, Crea? Aren't you having a lot of fun?]

We should try it. Do you vow to not relinquish my hand the entire time?

[dakicover]

[ HE WAS HAVING SO MUCH FUN UNTIL HE WAS REMINDED OF HIS MORTALITY.

sighs. it’s fine. he’ll heal if he gets skewered. with a smirk, he holds his hand out for her to hold. ]

Worst comes to worst and I’ll put my life before yours. I’ll make sure that I never let go of your hand in our descent.

[ it’s been a forever since he’s played at being a hero. ]

I promise to keep my word— so? What do you say?

[necrotiem]

[Never fear - She will do the thinking about your mortality for you, Crea!]

Hehe... How forward. I was surprised to hear you sound like a leader just then.

All this just to take my hand? [Or to psych himself back up after you reminded him of the perils of falling, genius. Ladylike and delicate, Quin removes her gloves and extends her hand to his palm down, taking hold.]

[dakicover]

Hey, I still remember some stuff from my hero days. Some habits die harder than others.

[ even though those are days that are long long past him and this sort of thing never happened to him in the first place, but that's hardly the point. as soon as she offers his hand, he takes it in a firm, but gentle grip. ]

Maybe I just want you to experience something new. There's hardly anything thrilling about a little bit of hand holding, is there?

[ he'll take a step closer to the edge, gauging her reaction. ]

Let's see. You can still pull back, if you'd like. One last chance~

[necrotiem]

Hahaha, you haven't met many nobles, have you?

[There's a certain amount of propriety expected with courtship, though from the way Waltaquin talks so dismissively about it, it's likely she doesn't ascribe to the same notions.

Quin looks over the edge and back to him.]

If you keep hesitating hoping I'll back out and save you the trouble, you'll never learn anything about me.

[Hopefully, he's ready to jump, because she's going forward with the express intention of sending them both over the edge immediately. Crea, you're not even getting a countdown.

Yeet.]

[dakicover]

Aah-?!

[ for a moment, crea can't believe it. he follows along with the pull of her arm, barely catching himself with enough time to impulse himself off the cliff. though aside from that moment of surprise, a momentary thrill grows in his heart as he continues holding waltaquin's hand during the descent. she may have proven herself to be the bolder one, but that doesn't mean that he's going to let himself be far behind.

the plunge into the water is sudden, before crea even has a chance to scream from either excitement or fear, and cold water rushes as he temporarily sinks into the blue.

holding his breath and slowly floating upwards, he makes sure that he's still holding his sudden companion's hand in his, making sure that they're still together and that he doesn't have to go diving for her. ]

[necrotiem]

[Luckily(?) for Crea, she's right there beside him, emerging from the water with a lung-filling gasp and throwing her head back with a splash.]

Hehehe... haha... HAHAHA!

[She pulls both of her hands (yes, even the one holding his) close to her mouth as she laughs.]

Oh, how exhilarating! I simply must go again! Let's see what was waiting for us down here...

[dakicover]

Oh-!

[ well, he sure is getting pulled around. crea is happy to see her happy, however, albeit feeling just the slightest bit of concern. did he somehow awaken a sleeping monster without knowing? ]

Well, sure! We can try to make it a competition, of sorts. Let's see which one of us gets the farthest.
