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. ))

[This is definitely the time for happier conversations. He really does feel for Beelzebub, though. Being apart from a sibling is tough, especially one you're very close to.]

Heh. You two must make quite the pair. What is he like, if you don't mind me asking?

[gluttoning]

[Ah, his truly favorite topic. The demon's entire demeanor grows soft, deeply happy, even moreso than he's ever looked around food.]

He's lazy and loves to take naps, but he's really smart. He's always has some of the highest grades when we take tests, even though he doesn't enjoy going to school. I have to get him dressed in his sleep and even carry him sometimes.

He likes the stars. And pulling pranks. Since he's the youngest, he's gotten pretty good at being able to get his way by being cute. But he's also got a nasty temper, and can get a little out of hand when he sulks.

...I love him a lot.

[dupiety]

[Wow, that really is a shift. Temenos has certainly learned something new about Beelzebub today. Quite a few things, honestly. It occurs to him that they haven't discussed what regular life is like for Beelzebub until now...]

That love shines through in the way you speak about him. If he wasn't sleeping soundly before, I'm sure he is now.

[gluttoning]

[He chuckles as he sinks himself lower into the onsen water. To think that maybe the comforting heat would travel, to where he knows Belphie waits, and lull him to rest in his absence.]

I hope so. He's been through a lot lately. So he deserves some good dreams.

I miss him texting me to remind me to eat. He can feel his stomach ache when I get too hungry. So he looks out for me.

[dupiety]

My, the connection is that strong, is it? How fascinating...

[Twins are on a whole different level than he could have imagined!]

Ah, I don't mean to intrude into personal matters too much if you'd rather not speak about it, but is everything all right at home?

[gluttoning]

...

Um.

[He just kind of looks to the side where there are at least fifteen other people, and just shakes his head, his voice going quiet.]

It's fine. But I'd rather not talk about it.

[dupiety]

[Ah.....

Temenos' expression flickers with concern, and a bit of embarrassment. He has become far too accustomed to pressing for information just about anywhere and anytime.]

Of course. If you do feel you need to talk about it elsewhere, please reach out to me.

[gluttoning]

...

[His eyes drift closed again, before shaking his head silently.

Sorry, Temenos. Denied.]

I'll be home to them soon enough. So long as we work hard to get out of here.

[dupiety]

[...

Very well, then.]

Yes, you will. I apologize for turning this discussion sour.

[gluttoning]

[...

He just scoots over a little, to bump him with his shoulder the same way Temenos had done to wake him up.]

Apology accepted. No harm done.

[dupiety]

[It's a reassuring gesture. Temenos looks over with a smile.]

I'm glad.

[gluttoning]

Mn. [He looks like he's about ready to doze off. But if he's next to Temenos, maybe he doesn't mind.]

Thanks for letting me talk about Belphie.

[dupiety]

[He is welcome to doze. Temenos will watch over him for a bit...until he steps away and Wang Lu happens, rip.]

Heh. It was a pleasure to listen. I pray that the two of you are reunited sooner rather than later.
