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. ))

[ Rolling his eyes at Mr. No here. ]

Would anyone else care to explain this "electricity" to me?

[plunges]

[ A nod, then: ]

I have not seen anyone else from Teyvat here, for what it's worth. I doubt you are the only one who is the sole person from your world here.

[microtransactions]

Crossing dimensions isn't an unheard of thing, you know.

At this point, it's probably a likely bet, actually!

[conchy]

[A frightening story or two? Lobelia has a few hundred of those, but personally, he thinks they're all quite delightful!]

Before that, mademoiselle, why don't you give us an example?

[So he knows where the bar for "frightening" is set here. He's not entirely without social graces.]

[skyworp]

Can’t say it’s much of a custom where I’m from.

[finalforte]

xXxcutiekanonxXx: it sounds like someone's going to though ☆

[skyworp]

Not necessarily. Unless the shoe fits.

1/2

[finalforte]

[???! She looks dumbfounded.]

[dupiety]

Are you familiar with lightning magic, Kallamar? Electricity is similar, except it is harnessed through technology rather than magic.

[Really, Verg. How hard is it?]

Re: 2

[finalforte]

Kanon isn't a liar. Don't be mean!

[finalmix]

It's a little bit like crossing between Planes...

[finalforte]

Wooow, Rapt0r's a huge nerd. Sooooo surprising.

[She's going to be useless for talking to either of them.]

[plunges]

Is that so.

[ stares at his convo with Ho-oh

looks away ]

[dupiety]

So I have learned from several of you here. Such a thing is a foreign concept in my realm.

I could grasp it being a form of magic, but...

[Technology is so new back home.]

[townmusician]

I was in Tokyo, doing work. Is that good enough for you?

[He’s literally just Some Guy, and his backstory ain’t coming out outside of gagtags.]

[finalforte]

Kanon can do one!

[microtransactions]

... Man, cults causing trouble kind of has more representation than I thought they would in this crowd.

Which means mark me down as a me three for 'dealing with culty business.' No actual murder though, just some attempted sacrifice! Think everyone was all winding down afterwards and heading back to whatever our own business is and then ... you know.

[ waggles his fingers. zap zap, spark spark. ]

Same as everyone else.

[idologue]

He's a lot more talkative than I expected! It's nice.

[ So positive and peppy about this!!

Also, Haro commentary: ] Do your best!

[solutionary]

Interesting, this could mean whatever brought us here was not something we physically encountered then. Unlike you and your [person? there's definitely a slight pause here] compatriot, the Conqueror of Demons and I did have contact with each other.

[conchy]

[Talk about himself, you say? You know not what you ask, Temenos.]

Where do I begin? Many of you have heard of my genius, but for those who haven't, I am Lobelia. The pleasure is all yours, I'm sure!

[Ah, right. What was he up to before he came here...? He'll try to keep it PG.]

Before arriving here, I was having a lovely chat with the captain of a mighty vessel that spans the skies. You can imagine my surprendre when I woke up here on the sandy shore!

[necrotiem]

Yes, I think it'd be efficient while we're all gathered, and it's a good topic of conversation.

[immortalpoet]

[he's a petty old man and he doesn't want to be an encyclopedia thanks]

[necrotiem]

[She gives him a very slight, brief smile.]

What's wrong with that?

[dupiety]

I am utterly charmed as always, Lobelia.

[mhm.]

Pardon my curiosity, but did you say a skyfaring vessel? I suppose I shouldn't be all that surprised given the talk of starfaring, but this one actually sounds plausible in my own realm.

[townmusician]

then i guess it’s a good thing i’m not from where you are and all i need to worry about my career and the idiots here

and also lobelia-san

[He gets a -san which, yes, means he’s afraid of Lobelia, but not necessarily because of murder reasons.]
