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. ))

[necrotiem]

Thank you for volunteering. The floor is yours. [She gestures to set the stage for Kanon to take over.]

[dupiety]

That much is certain, yes. I am merely setting the record straight.

[immortalpoet]

Because I don't like playing into what people want. Simple as that.

[idologue]

Did you have a negative experience?

[ And here's Haro's mechanic squeaking: ] Are you feeling fine?

[hearnoplague]

Ah... That would explain the abundance of magical machines here. Thank you.

[ See, Verg. Not that hard. ]

[conchy]

As you should be, Monsieur Mistral!

[The feeling is clearly mutual.]

Oui, you heard correctly! Traveling throughout the Skydom would be nigh impossible without a ship at your disposal.

[hearnoplague]

Hm... [ Considering it... ]

[hearnoplague]

What makes you say that?

[ He doesn't sound particularly pleased about that assertion but maybe it needs more context? ]

[microtransactions]

I mean, I don't think it'd be all that common or anything, just that it's not completely unheard of? Whether magically or otherwise.

[ metaphorically glances at whatever's going on with the giant robot. ]

[necrotiem]

I can certainly try, but I just think things most others find frightening are fascinating instead.

Let's see... [She curls her fist beneath her chin in thought.]

My younger sibling wakes me in the night crying and screaming about his nightmares. I've gone to his grave to beg him to stop, but it hasn't worked.

[diabolizes]

I've got a ghost story, if you'd like that. I'll keep it to two sentences.

[ Gotta get that task, after all. ]

[dupiety]

It's on my to-do list, so I appreciate your insight, Miss Lacus.

[hearnoplague]

I beg your pardon?!

[ He looks so bewildered. SOUND DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY??? ]

[dupiety]

They're all quite something, aren't they? Communication on the level of our devices would be absolutely earthshattering if introduced to Solistia.

[They don't even have regular phones yet.]

[gluttoning]

[Where's Beel? Doing his best not to clear out the food table immediately, though he's at least stopped popping bite site sausages into his mouth long enough to engage in conversation.

His stony expression stiffens for a second, staying silent with a lot of the others, but as people start opening up, he follows suit.]

I was getting ready to head home and talk to my brother. There'd been some trouble. One of our transfer students was coming with me.

I didn't make it out of the building before I woke up here, though.

[immortalpoet]

doesn't change a thing. if you don't have a spine in general, one wonders how you're really doing in that career of yours.

which one is lobelia

[conchy]

Oh! How effrayant.

[The right person would certainly find that frightening, anyway, but Lobelia's reaction conveys amusement much more than fear.]

Let's see... Have you heard humble the story of the magician family?

[solutionary]

Powering anything with the life force of others often leads to needing more and more as time passes. Unless you mean the good intentions? [The question is accompanied by Baizhu inclining his head slightly, and Changsheng taking the chance to extend her head closer to look. Mercifully, she doesn't do anything more yet.]

[gluttoning]

Sounds like you're in the military.

[necrotiem]

Yes? [She looks at him expectantly.]

Do your kind tell stories?

[gluttoning]

Knocked out?

Were you in a fight?

[necrotiem]

Hahaha!

[She laughs pretty boisterously, given her otherwise noble body language.]

I'm afraid I'm used to getting what I want and don't intend to stop now.

[gluttoning]

[...giant robot... weird words...

This is some of Levi's anime hocus pocus, isn't it]

Were you dead or something?

[gluttoning]

You're from Purgatory?

[99% of that flew straight over his head.]

[gluttoning]

[Oh hey it's that girl that called him stupid and dumb and ugly.]

Do you like doing nails?
