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. ))

......Fine.

[oyaji...]

[diabolizes]

[ Oh perfect. A win for Wei Wuxian. ]

Haha! See you around, old man! Maybe at the next party.

[conchy]

[Ah, very good! She's giving him the chance to brag!! He loves you already, future queen.]

I'm working on an archive of sounds collected from all over the Skydom! I invented Audiomancy, you see, and it allows me to collect all manner of sounds within conques.

[With a snap of his fingers, Lobelia summons a conch shell and offers it to Psyche.]

Go on! Hold it to your ear.

[conchy]

[Oh... He's hurt the baby........... Lobelia knows when he's been a no good stinky conch man and he hadn't meant Haruka any harm, so he settles, slowly shaking his head.]

Did I upset you? Je suis désolé, Cher. I meant you no harm.

[you can bet your ass he's recording this]

I can assure you I'm no slouch in a fight, but if I demonstrated my skills on you, you might not be free to belt out such belle musique anymore. That's why you should allow me to aid you in your times of need.

[You know. So Haruka doesn't McFucking die, because if he does, how's Lobelia supposed to enjoy his voice??]

[rhythmaction]

No. Maybe if you get really close? I don't know, actually--nobody's tried. I don't know if you have ears, even.

[rhythmaction]

do i look like i know?????????

[dysnowpian]

Knowing what I know, I don't think I'm the one who has to be concerned with wishes, Red Gaze. But your warning is noted and shall be remembered when you find the wheels of your bus ground down to nothing.

[idologue]

My... I'm afraid I'm guilty as charged.

[ It's not what she expected of herself when she was younger, but the last few years have been nothing but an endless parade of caretaking. And it's good that way, it makes her feel like there's meaning to her every day. She likes seeing people feel better. ]

[idologue]

[ She'll be a creature, it's fine... A creature who's just breezing past the assessment of herself to respond only to the last part. ]

Mr. Pink is not bound by the rules of politeness, no. I've tried scolding him about it, but he's quite insistent!

[ Mr. Pink: ] I won't accept that!

[skyworp]

[A pause.]

Ha.

Haha.

Hahaha!

[Skywarp breaks into laughter, and wipes a not-tear from his optics.]

Funny. I think I'd like to see that.

[skyworp]

I can hear you, can't I?

[immortalpoet]

[His stern expression doesn't change.]

You say that now. You'd be surprised.

[immortalpoet]

big words for a loser. are you going to scurry back to the arms of your group of rats when all is said and done, sonya?

[immortalpoet]

[muttering:]

Why do we need another party....

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Merlin rolls right along to the other question with ease, then.

Shifting topics (somewhat) is easy for someone like him. ]

Haha, no!

Once upon a time I was a cute little baby, just like mostly everyone else. It's a shame I can't show you and everyone else pictures~

[ He says like he's joking around, though this is a serious answer... ]

Though, clearly I grew up into quite a catch, hm?

[gluttoning]

A catch?

[Like a fish? He's visibly confused, but at least it clicks eventually.]

Oh. You mean attractive.

[Have the world's most okay-est shrug.]

Yeah, I guess you're okay.

[skyworp]

Good. I like surprises.

[Where Vergilius is looking stern, Skywarp is clearly enjoying himself.]

I’ve decided to move The City to the top of my destination list. I’m eager to see what fun we can get up to.

[immortalpoet]

Suit yourself.

[in the tone of voice of HOO BOY SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE A HOTSHOT HUH]

[skyworp]

Oh, I will. Don’t you worry.

[Verg is so right to judge him.]

[immortalpoet]

Where do you even come from in the first place?

[skyworp]

A dear planet called Cybertron. We didn’t part on the best terms, but I find myself missing it all the same.

[immortalpoet]

What is with people and planets here...

Call me curious. Why was it not the best terms?

[skyworp]

[He makes a grand sweep of his arm.]

Decisions were made. I was wholly unappreciated. Public opinion wanted me gone, so I left.

[conchy]

[No answer is an answer in itself, isn't it? What a curious woman... As for Mr. Pink, he's a fair bit less intriguing, but it might be fun to pick him apart and get a good look at how that speaker system of his works. Keep a sharp eye on your friend, Lacus!]

Oh my! What an unruly fellow. Surely he could be persuaded to mind his manners with a bit of force... Heh!

[chrysaline]

We will. Thank you for your help with the task.

[ He gets a little curtsy that's in no way made ridiculous by the tropical shirt and capris, shh, before she takes her leave. ]
