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!

[Temenos has always been under the impression that onsens are supposed to be quiet and relaxing, and cramming this many people into it for mingling purposes seems to be the exact opposite. However, given that it's Wang Lu gathering everyone, Temenos has little choice but to attend.

He's here, lower half covered by a towel, and trying to enjoy his little corner of the spring. He won't say no to visitors, of course.

Whenever he's out of the water, he can be found wearing...this? as a cover-up. He looks pretty cozy in it. Wonder where he got it from?]

[chosenwang]

[chosenwang]

I guess being a neko does suit you. Hold up you hand real quick. [ He'll show him what he means by holding up his own hand like it's a paw.

Also he's in a robe himself and just standing outside of the water. ]

[dupiety]

[He's definitely laughing.]

Oh, I'll remember that look for a long time. If only I hadn't left my device back at the cabana...

[He would've loved a picture of it.

Anyway, he tips his head...]

I am not acting like a cat for your amusement.

[chosenwang]

[ Wao. ]

You can always take pictures when we're alone.

[ Or as along as they can be in their cabana. ]

You already are partially there. What made you dress up anyways?

[dupiety]

Again with your mixed messages...

[Teasing right back.]

Anyway, I received this from our dear captors as a task completion reward. [Lobelia kissed him and all he got was this stupid kigu.] It makes for a decent cover-up while I'm here at the onsen.

[chosenwang]

Just for you.

[ Giving a wink ]

It does look good. I especially enjoy the little bell on it. [ Was it worth it? ]

[dupiety]

[Absolutely not. 0/10 would not recommend.]

Mm, it's quite comfortable. Not what I would typically wear, but... [Shrug.] It is certain to get a few additional amusing reactions.

[conchy]

[There's nothing soothing about piling into a crowded onsen, but that won't stop Lobelia from doing exactly that to harass his favorite people. Speaking of? Bonjour, Daddy.

Blessedly, Lobelia has also donned a towel for the occasion, settling in right beside Temenos because what is personal space? Who needs it?]

I see you've decided to return the favor!

[???]

[dupiety]

[Gods, please listen to him just this once and strike Lobelia down for him.

He lets out a sigh and doesn't bother to move because he knows that's going to be futile. Instead, he tips his head and very noticeably looks Lobelia up and down with a flat, judgmental expression.]

Dare I ask what "favor" you're speaking of?

[conchy]

[Wow? Are you checking him out, Daddy?? There's plenty of twunk to go around, as it happens. Help yourself.]

You've cast aside your robes and bared yourself before the whole île! How merveilleux! It's a wonder no one who has gazed upon your bare skin has been struck blind.

[Is that an insult or a compliment? You decide.]

[dupiety]

[Ugh. Not when you put it like that.

And since Lobelia's calling that a favor, he's...going to (regrettably) assume it's a compliment. Lobelia made no secret of the fact that he finds Temenos attractive in the past.]

Is that not the point of an onsen? I was hardly going to enter the water fully clothed.

[...]

How is this a favor, exactly? Were you too afraid to ask?

[conchy]

[Is there no accounting for taste, or does Lobelia have immaculate taste in men? There truly is no telling.]

Certainement, but it still surprises me to see you donning a towel to join the common rabble. Is such a scandalous scene permitted back home?

[LOBELIA, HE'S NOT A NUN???]

[dupiety]

[He's going to take that lack of an answer to his question as a "yes"--]

It isn't scandalous in the first place. The social etiquette of a cleric like myself is not nearly so strict. I assure you I am not committing sacrilege by exposing my chest to the public.

[hearnoplague]

[ Squid friend is outside of the onsen as fully clothed as a squid can be. He wanders near the edge where Temenos is sitting. ]

Surprised to see you here, Temenos.

[dupiety]

Why hello, Kallamar. Why the surprise? Are you not coming in for a soak?

[He hasn't started questioning Kallamar's physiology until now. Would the squid have issues in hot water? He's not having issues OUT of the water...]

[hearnoplague]

[ The creatures in Cult of the Lamb work in such mysterious ways... Even the mun has no idea how some stuff works. ]

Hm. I was hoping this would be like the meeting you held when we first found ourselves here. It has been weeks since, so surely we would have discovered some information that may help us escape by now...

[ He crosses his arms. ] But no. It seems we are merely having a communal bath for no particular reason.

[dupiety]

Ah, I see. A most unfortunate miscommunication.

[But since Kallamar brought it up...]

I agree with you that we are due for another meeting to discuss such business. Assuming the weekend does not go sideways again, I can begin drafting one up.

[hearnoplague]

...

[ He frowns. ]

Abandon all hope of a peaceful weekend. I sense a pattern in the disturbances and deaths thus far.

[dupiety]

[With a sigh,]

As have I. I thought I'd allow the illusion of wishful thinking, though.

[dancing_flames]

[Don't mind Shuda (in a towel, thank you very much, he has some decency) just stopping and sort of staring at Temenos' choice of outfit here. That sure is a pair of cat ears on that hoodie.]

... didn't think you were the type. Or did you lose a bet?

[dupiety]

[With a laugh,]

Neither. I was curious to see what sort of reactions I would elicit with it on. It is surprisingly comfortable, though.

[dancing_flames]

So how many people have pulled on the tail so far?

[Because look he has seen the sorts of things this group gets up to, there is no way that no one has tried that yet.]

[dupiety]

None, surprisingly!

[And without missing a beat,]

Would you like to be the first, Shuda?

[dancing_flames]

[... you know, in retrospect, he REALLY should have seen that one coming. He has no one to blame but himself.

Very flatly:]

I'll pass.
