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. ))

Oh? Do you do super important stuff?

[gluttoning]

I'm not a person. If fish don't count, neither do I.

[dakicover]

There's nothing wrong with that. Lounging around for too long is boring too. It's good to stay moving.

[dakicover]

That sounds way too dangerous to say so casually!

[dakicover]

I think that's most places?

[dakicover]

[ of course he would order food. ]

I wonder how long an order like that would last you. 6 hours?

Also what's a toxic chameleon bun...? Or a quetzcoatl?

[dakicover]

It sounds like you and Kanon should trade notes.

[dakicover]

That's the spirit! It's been a long time since I could just go hunting or foraging...I think it would be nice to have a few weeks of peace like that.

[diabolizes]

that it is, but it's more than just that too! i'd be delighted to tell you the story over another drink

[ But he's not about to put all that where everyone can see, so! ]

for getaways, i prefer somewhere on the waterfront. you can swim, fish, or simply enjoy the water. but if that isn't peaceful enough for you, then there are plenty of spots high up in the mountains that provide all the lovely scenery and crisp air one could ever want

[felame]

No need to apologize. It would be unrealistic to expect full proficiency when you're new to this technology.
Though I do suggest slowing down to ensure you are understood correctly in the future. It'll save you future headaches from repeating yourself, or from... whatever the above is.

[ translation: there are shitposters in the dark, xiao. don't let autocorrect make you a victim.



because you have the xiao name ]

[microtransactions]

It's fine, it doesn't happen that often??? We dealt with it!

[dakicover]

You can find them in the boutique! They're like little bottles of what appear to be something like lotion. I think that if you apply that and wear the hats, it should help with the burning.

[diabolizes]

it seems like we understand one another on that level

the beach is nice, but it isn't the same. i'd much rather sit up in a tree and listen to the sounds of the forest than the waves

[ And the whole sacrifice thing, but that's neither here nor there in this little vacation discussion. ]

[gluttoning]

Probably closer to three. But if the chameleon was really bottomless, I might last longer. It's always juicy and plump and easy to just pop in your mouth, and you can get it fried or in steamed buns.

Quetzalcoatl. Sorry for the typo. I was excited.

It's a mythical serpent. The brains are pretty popular with our local restaurants.

un: Tenkuuzakura

[dancing_flames]

It's the name of my sword. Which is currently missing, by the way.

If anyone finds a katana with a red wave pattern on the scabbard, it's mine. I'd appreciate it if you'd return it to me.

... and don't mess with it.

[felame]

You have my thanks.

[ the artistry of her username isn't something she feels particular pride in, but manners are manners. ]

Perhaps that is another thing it communicates.
I had mistaken such fragility as weakness, once.
But something that allows itself to be both weak and strong, however strange it might be, is indeed beautiful.

un: makuracover

[dakicover]

It's my codename!

[dupiety]

The fact that you have to ask me why is evidence enough that I'd be wasting my time in elaborating.

[passetemps]

As her retainer, I am *responsible* for the safety and well-being of the crown princess of Elusia. And we, along with our other allies, are all fighting alongside the Divine Dragon to protect our world.

2.

[dakicover]

[ well, if kanon is trying to show off to crea, it's unfortunately not really working. he's looking at her face, not the rest of her. ]

Huh, well I guess it's pretty generous of you to be helping everyone like that. [ he's pretty sure that it's because she's trying to fish for compliments, but what the hell. ]

I like that.

[dupiety]

I see. Something personal to the user, but not so plain as their own name. Yours is a reference to your occupation, in that case?

[felame]

I hadn't expected a username would stir appreciation, but I thank you for it all the same.
Are you an artist of sorts? Or simply someone who enjoys such things?

[finalforte]

wow, and ur super dumb too

[microtransactions]

Don't think of yourself as much of a leader then? At least not the wizened and venerable sort?

[microtransactions]

But it obviously stuck with you, no?
