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. ))

Is that what you'd say you're trusting around here? Your gut?

[Not that there's anything wrong with that. He is pro- gut trust.]

[conchy]

Excuse-moi! I'll be sure not to repeat the mistake, but how impressive! That surely means you're quite busy as well, non?

[townmusician]

[Quiet boys… He can’t imagine ever dating someone quiet, not that he’s put a lot of thought into dating with his career path.

Still, it seems wild. Aren’t quiet people just doormats? Or annoying nerds like Iori Izumi… Well. It’s not about his type, anyways.]

I guess I can see that. You give off the vibe of someone who wants to take care of others.

[chrysaline]

A bit. I don't have official duties, so it's really only public appearances and formal occasions...

[ You know, boring stuff. ]

What about you? Does your work give you plenty of time to see the beach?

[hearnoplague]

The worm.

[conchy]

Still, I would imagine such important work comes with no shortage of perks! You must never have any trouble securing reservations at your favorite restaurants, for example.

[Ah... as for his work... Lobelia smiles broadly.]

Oui! My schedule is flexible, you might say. I can visit the beach whenever I like!

[townmusician]

Well, you could have decided the right thing was to not give me the time of day and take care of yourself alone.

[So he’d say that’s pretty kind!]

Probably. I don’t think I’m cut out for the world you’re from.

[immortalpoet]

[WWX is one of the smartest people on the island for this alone.]

What's the point?

[townmusician]

[No, it sounds like borderline yandere behavior.]

…Are you? You just seem kind of like a total weirdo.

[Like, sure, he’s buff and all that, but… is he actually some sort of powerful wizard guy??]

[finalforte]

[Don't insult your brother like that.]

Of course Kanon can make more!

[Though there aren't really any bigger cups... eh, she'll just mix multiple, it's fine.]

[finalforte]

[Immediately smiles at the compliment.]

Kanon's favorite is a sunset malibu.

[finalforte]

There's usually more music and dancing!

[diabolizes]

[ Ugh don't be so sappy, Haruka!!! ]

I wouldn't say that necessarily. You could make a good cultivator. You have the tenacity for it... it just depends on your natural aptitude for developing a golden core.

[diabolizes]

To not be miserable all the time.

[ He means it. ]

[conchy]

Heh-hahaha!

[You should watch who you doubt, Haruka! The look in Lobelia's eyes is borderline nasty, but really, he has no intention of harming a single hair on Haruka's pretty little head... probably.]

That's quite rude, Haruka! Did your parents not teach you proper manners? If you insister, I can show you the power of audiomancy firsthand.

[diabolizes]

[ He looks around at everyone just standing and talking. ]

Really? This is relatively close to what parties are like where I'm from.

[gluttoning]

[Hey Kanon have you ever watched a man down several glasses of hard alcohol one immediately after the other after the other and still be totally sober at the end?

Tada!

Is he even breathing between some of these? Sure doesn't look like it.]

[immortalpoet]

Eh.

[Sounds fake.]

[diabolizes]

Surely you could at least consider making an effort, Vergilius.

[ He... doubts it, though. ]

If you don't balance out all the negativity with something to take your mind off of it, it'll consume you. Or is that something you've long since accepted?

[immortalpoet]

[At the last part, he merely shrugs his shoulders back, closing his eyes.]

Go have fun with your party, Wei Wuxian.

[diabolizes]

[ He smiles, lifting his drink. ]

See you around, gramps.

[townmusician]

[No, his parents did not teach him anything, but he's not about to tell Lobelia he's an orphan.

He flusters for a moment, cheeks going red in a mix of embarrassment and shame, because unfortunately he's a sensitive boy.]

Sorry... I didn't mean to insult you, Lobelia-san. If... if you want to show off, I won't stop you.

[immortalpoet]

I'm not that old.

[PLEASE]

[chrysaline]

Well, that's true...

[ Oh look! A man who loves his work. ]

That sounds wonderful! What is it that you do?

[diabolizes]

How's "old man"? It might have old in it, but it's not grandfather level.
