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)

(( 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!

BULLETIN BOARD

[killerwaves]

[ Postcards go here! They can be posted any day during the week.

IC'ly they're anon unless signed. Characters can feel free to comment on other postcards if they want. ]

[skyworp]

Many of you have harpoons to spare. Many would be in better hands. Or legs as it were. Anyone like to part with theirs? I need one.

[dakicover]

For?

Yard Sard
[ Today Kallamar has set out a small bottle of Tide cleaner and a life-sized shish kabob thing on a dining table in the buffet. With them, he bent a postcard in half to write a makeshift sign:

FREE ITEMS
TAKE ONE

If anyone needs to speak with him about this, he'll be eating breakfast nearby. Yes, he put random seafood into a bowl and is eating it with a fork. ]

[skyworp]

I require a new foot.

[passetemps]

[ oh hey. picking up the dango... ]

Where did you find this?

[dakicover]

1. waterfall
[ well, this is actually something interesting for crea. characters can find him at the top of the cliff in swim trunks and a shirt, waving happily at your character once he finds them nearby. ]

Heey! Come here! Let's jump together!

2. aviary
[ later in the day, crea can be found roaming the aviary. he's wearing a hoodie from the gift shop now, with a bit of seeds in his hand that the kittybot had so graciously given him. ]

I'm not actually sure what purpose this serves. It's kind of like a chicken coop, so are we supposed to ea—ow!

[ an angry couple of geese have teamed up. if crea won't give them the seed, then they're going to take it from him. ]

Uh. Help?

[dakicover]

[ crea is staring blankly at the tide cleaner bottle, turning it around to get a look at it. ]

Detergent? Where'd you get this?

[dakicover]

[ uhhhhhh ]

Won't it just sink into the sand?

[plunges]

AVIARY

[ The first thing Xiao does on Monday is explore the new island. He's surprised to see a collection of birds, one that's manmade, and he largely wants to set them free, because that's how wildlife should be.

When he steps foot inside, though, he goes towards the cranes. He watches them with a fond look on his face. That is immediately interrupted by a goose waddling over to him and flapping in his face. ]

You are-

[ The goose starts honking. It keeps honking. It does not stop, even as Xiao tries to walk away from it. It follows. Help... ]

MINI GOLF

[ Later in the day, Xiao can be found leaving two small bouquets near the golf course's entrance. One of them is orange, and the other is white. He places them down, puts space between them. He also sets down a very small plate of food in front of each bouquet. He closes his eyes and raises his head.

If anyone is looking his way, he will glance over at them, but he says nothing. He'll just look down at the flowers for a moment, instead. ]

WILDCARD

[ Hmu with anything, as always! Available via DM for PCs/custom starters/etc. ]

[immortalpoet]

Surprised you didn't try the kabob.

[Just saying.]

for haruka

[plunges]

[ Per a certain (not) bird's recommendation, Xiao has decided to try one of the easier games in the arcade. He's gotta learn what these things do in case something else happens in here again, much like what happened with Chai's case. He would like some assistance, of course, in case he blunders this entirely.

Thankfully, Haruka has agreed to accompany him, so here they are, standing at the entrance of the arcade. ]

Direct me to where either the "racing" or "fighting" games are.

[The bouquets are of interest, but given Xiao's glance over at him, he stays silent for a moment, his own red gaze fixed on the flowers.]

[He gives a good moment of silence before he speaks up, in his characteristic low tone:]

...Honoring the dead?

un: taugether

[divector]

wow there really are no ostriches in the aviary

though now that i think about it, they're in competition for looks for overhaul so

sure that makes sense

[immortalpoet]

[A single scrawled phrase on the postcard posted.]

requiescat in pace

[But then, later in the week:]

don't be upset when i get back there late. i promise you something sweet to make up for it. don't worry.

[plunges]

Yes, as best as I can.

[ His answer is immediate. His expression is even, not one that gives way to any emotions he may be experiencing. ]

Even so, nothing feels sufficient, given everything that's happened.

un: taugether

[divector]

i never got one of those, but i did get a helmet with leaf decorations

i'm not sure how much that'd help here

[immortalpoet]

...Of course. What words will give peace to the dead? What offerings will quiet their souls? In the end it is only us and our emotions, left to ponder.

[An unexpectedly poetic set of phrases flow from him, before he falls silent for a moment.]

We can only do what we can.
