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. ))

asshole

[gravitys]

Yeah, it ain't my idea of a vacation either.

[gravitys]

...Sure. [ Well, why not. This reminds him a bit of tea with one of his coworkers so he'll just go with it. ]

Yeah, don't think we've talked at all.

[gravitys]

Yeah, some people are big into bein' remembered.

[gravitys]

The bein' nice one?

[mysticpowerbroker]

Well, good! Because you're not my type either!!!! 😡!!

[ This is about to get real dumb (spoilers: it already has) ]

[gravitys]

ok?

[divector]

[ She definitely looks happier after that. ] Much obliged, even if it is much easier to find out in this situation.

[conchy]

[Ah, but Mr. Pink's protests are just delightful to listen to! Lobelia wouldn't harm the poor, obnoxious thing knowing that it might complicate his living situation, buuuut he'll be dreaming of the day he can take the thing apart and see what makes it tick.]

Oui, as we all should! Live your best, most authentic life, Monsieur Pink.

[immortalpoet]

...

[Something deeply, deeply crosses his face with vivid irritation as he sees the other teleporting, biting back a scowl.]

Mm. So people can do this? Like you? How generous of you.

[skyworp]

[The irritation doesn’t faze him - probably because he’s quite used to it - but he does find it interesting. A note for later, perhaps.]

Like me? No, I can’t be replicated. Not all the way. But they will like me, in time.

[Or like him enough.]

If I wasn’t suited to be leader, why else would Shockwave choose me?

[It’s a rhetorical question, mostly. He’s aware Vergilius has no idea who that is.]

[immortalpoet]

....


Why would he choose you? Your shining personality? Does anyone actually like you?

[skyworp]

Shockwave does.

[There’s a slight hiss to his words, now.]

We’re dear, old friends. We were to rule Cybertron together.

[But he remains playful, jovial. He gives Vergilius a shrug.]

You might not understand, if you’ve never known such a bond.

[immortalpoet]

"Were"?

[Tell him the hot gay gossip, man. Except he's not THAT interested. Maybe.]

[skyworp]

[He flicks his wrist.]

Wars were fought. Sides were changed. Plans failed. I did what I had to save myself. But he understands that.

[immortalpoet]

Do you know so? Or do you think so?

[skyworp]

It’s been a long time, but I have no doubts. We shared a vision together. He’ll understand.

[So, the latter.]

[immortalpoet]

Mm.

[vergilius code for "this is going to end sooooo badly but i really don't care so get fucked i guess".]

Best of luck with that Vaporwave guy.

[skyworp]

Oh, I won’t need it. But the thought is appreciated all the same.

[Not even gonna correct Vaporwave.]

[gravitys]

[ Look, he's just assuming this is an ability and there may or may not be two of them...and he doesn't care. ] All our abilities are written down, admittedly.

[divector]

It is.

Yours had gravity, right? That sounds like a lot of fun. I'd try to fly around.
