WEEK ONE

29 Vacationers

As much as this vacation was unplanned, hopefully you've found some time to enjoy yourself this weekend as you've settled in. The idyllic beach, all inclusive food, drink, and shopping might be almost enough to distract you from that pesky talk of sacrifice. Vacations really are about letting your worries pass you by. Hopefully you've found the time to set up your U-PINION too, because if you haven't, it's been chirping incessantly since the date turned to Monday. And come Monday at noon, everyone's device will let out a pleasant jingle, heralding several announcements across the screen:

Happy Monday! We've hope you've been enjoying your time at Sungem's Peak. The Mermer (intranet) is now fully operational. Chat with your friends and get recommendations for how to best enjoy your vacation, by:

• Reading about your fellow vacationers via their profile
• Chatting on the network
• Asking honest questions via our anonymous poll system
• REQUIRED: Reading the RULES set by the administrators

We're also happy to announce our reward system is live! Complete tasks to receive special items to improve your stay!!! Contact your administrators for any questions or concerns. We hope you have a wonderful week!

The artificial peppiness of the announcement just oozes out from the U-PINION, and soon thereafter everyone will be accosted by a friendly robot that forces a physical copy of the rules into their hands anyway. Just in case. They'll also present a copy of the tasks this week as well, for any interested parties.

!

TASKS:

Be Nice
Now that you're acquainted, tell another person one thing you like about them, and why.
(REWARD: RARE!)

Let's Play!
Play a game with someone else. Any type of game: board games, card games, or even a party game! (Reward: Common )

Summer Spooks
Tell a two-sentence horror story in person, or on the network.
(Reward: Common)

((OOC: Welcome to Week 1! This is a peace week, so they'll be no case this weekend. However, we have something for you to chew on Saturday, time to be announced later in discord.

We'll also be playing around with the network and seeing what works as far as formatting goes, so thanks for bearing with us! Also please note, that the poll questions are anon, but any answers won't be. ))

[gluttoning]

...It goes to my stomach. [Said as his brows tighten a bit at the poking. Where else would it go, man?]

I exercise a lot. It's a hobby. I guess it helps a little.

...

Why would it be sad to eat by yourself? If it tastes good, does it matter?

[gluttoning]

Oh.

[Firmly shaking his head.]

No, that's not it. Father couldn't lie, anyway.

1/3

[chrysaline]

Oh...

2/3

[chrysaline]

Ah...?

3/3

[chrysaline]

Are you a demon, Beelzebub?

[gluttoning]

Any way, so long as it tastes good.

[Then, after a moment further to think:]

Strong and sweet, if you can manage it.

[stilllovesyou]

[She shakes her head and takes a sip, making a face at the awful taste.]

Don't want to cheat.

[gluttoning]

Yeah, I am.

[His head tilts slightly, free hand slipping into his jacket pocket as his other tilts his glass back for another drink.]

You're surprised?

[chosenwang]

Yeah, but look! It looks completely flat there. [ He'll stop the poking just to indicate his stomach. None sauce. Left All Beef. ] Exercise does help. Have you hit up the gym here?

[ Also wow. It must be nice not having a worry about appearances ]

How it must be to be that old and still in your youth.

[gluttoning]

[Stop poking his abs, wow.]

Mm. Every day, at least once or twice, I do muscle training and lift weights. I also run first thing in the morning and do sprints out on the beach in the afternoon. Just because I'm not at home doesn't mean I need to stop my routine.

...

What do you mean? You don't look very old for a human.

[chrysaline]

I'm sorry, that was rude...

[ She sits back, pressing one fist to her lap. Time to bury a slightly sheepish expression in her drink. ]

Demons are more like a fable where I'm from. I suppose it should be obvious not everyone here is human, but it's still a little surprising to me.

[gluttoning]

Ah.

I think that's okay. As far as I know, most humans go their whole lives without realizing we actually exist.

[He gives an easy shrug.] You weren't rude. Don't worry about it.

[chosenwang]

[ Look abs are meant to be touched. But okay he'll stop! ]

That's pretty impressive. [ No wonder he gets hangry ]

It's all about what's in here. [ Tapping his own chest ] I'm very old in here. Old enough to be the big brother here. [ No. No he's not ]

[diabolizes]

Not right now, no.

[ He grins. ]

But if you give me something to announce and I'll get up on a table and do it.

oh, panana-bana if you could fill out beel's permissions when u have a sec i'd appreciate it!

[gluttoning]

...Could have sworn you were just a kid.

[Big Doubt. But he shrugs regardless. If he thinks he's old, who is Beel to stop him from his delusions??]

Do you have brothers?

[diabolizes]

It tastes sweet with the cranberry juice, but there's a bit of a punch from the lime. The flavor of alcohol is a bit washed out with the intensity of the juices, but it's still good.

[diabolizes]

[ That at least earns a laugh from him, especially as he knows that, despite the topic of cultivation sitting heavily and silently between them, Wang Lu says nothing about it. ]

Thanks! I try to party my hair in just the right way that makes them undetectable.

[diabolizes]

Haha! A lot of us wouldn't, hmm?

[ He grins, having a sip of his beer. ]

At least a few of us did, even if it took a bit of prompting. I hope that it was at least worth that bit of trouble you had.

[diabolizes]

Ah, I see how it is. You must like annoying people.

[diabolizes]

[ That's exactly it. This may be a party, but they've still been asked to murder. ]

I like the sweetness of fruit juice myself, though I prefer spicy food. [ Actually&dmdash; ] Have you come across any drinks on the hotter side?

[diabolizes]

Birds with complex feathers, hm? Like a peacock?

[ The feathers in the back could even be painted too. ]

[diabolizes]

I had a feeling you would!

[ He can tell now just how much she likes compliments. In that way, she's easy to read. ]

[dakicover]

Probably just a bunch of used car parts!

[passetemps]

It is less a matter of the type of feathers on the bird than of the level of detail in the construction.

Though I agree that would be an interesting one.

[immortalpoet]

[A little shake of the head.]

No, nothing comes to mind. Your services will have to be used another time.
