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. ))

[If he wasn’t so used to people calling him cute, this would probably be way more annoying, but by looks alone he’s definitely The Cute One in ZOOL.

However.]

cute personality? really?

[dakicover]

That's a good way to look at it. I think it'll make the next experience even better, too. Things will hopefully look up from here.

[dakicover]

Yeah, I was.

[ a quick nod. ]

Things went south pretty quickly and then I woke up here.

[townmusician]

do you just want to know which one of you i think would be hotter then the other?

[dancing_flames]

[You. He likes you.

YOU FEEL HIM.]

[necrotiem]

[It's two sentences; how hard could it be?

She crosses her arms, albeit not hostilely, and waits ... more or less patiently.]

By all means.

[dupiety]

My, we seem to be getting bored rather quickly.

[mysticpowerbroker]

Oh yes, definitely.

We only spoke once, but I thought from our conversation you were endearing. You must be popular back home!

[ His words are clear with honesty. Merlin literally has no fear when it comes to expressing his opinion, yep. ]

un: taugether

[divector]

you're funner to talk to than most people here at least lol

who thought of these poll questions anyway

[conchy]

Take heart, mademoiselle! You can rest assured that secrets won't travel far on this isle.

[Screams can only travel so far, etc. etc.......]

But I share in your lament. There are some secrets better kept to oneself, and I'm certain we all have a few pot aux roses we'd rather not share.

un: mm

[mysticpowerbroker]

Hmm...kind of average-looking, but still in a decent way. 7/10, I think!

[dancing_flames]

... I was on the way to find another one of our allies to share some information with him.

[Which means, unfortunately, that he doesn't know precisely where he was when he got yoinked here, just a general idea of the area. He was kind of in a hurry at the time...]

Name's Shuda.

un: mm

[mysticpowerbroker]

With boredom comes great power.

Your appearance is rather decent, but your courageousness in wrangling people together is a selling point by far! At least a 9/10.

[dancing_flames]

He's not. There's no one else here from my world, either.

[dupiety]

Oh. I suppose I made myself fair game, didn't I?

You flatter me, Merlin. I would rather be rated on that than my appearance.

[dancing_flames]

Mine certainly isn't any secret to anyone from Demon Card, and I've used my Dark Bring in front of enough people that it's not impossible to believe that someone could have witnessed it in action.

Except for the part where most people don't come out of it alive.

[mysticpowerbroker]

You certainly did~

I give compliments where they're due, so I'm always happy to flatter!

[dakicover]

Should I be happy or insulted?!

[divector]

well as long as the pokemon have fun, sure why not

let them fight humans as a treat

[divector]

[ fushigi mystery ]

Sure, a card game sounds good. I can't say I know anything other than Old Maid though. But considering how different we all are, maybe that isn't an option.

un: ironlotus

[felame]

I do wonder if this is a form of coping for some of you, but that doesn't seem accurate.

[ if only there were sweepers for the network ]

DON'T APOLOGIZE i frequently write with half my brain misfiring

[necrotiem]

No. [Her answer is immediate and almost dismissive, as if she'd never entertained the idea for even a moment.]

I'm not getting caught up in the fate of the world or anything of the sort.

[conchy]

A fair assessment, mademoiselle Quin! Had Maman and Papa recognized the true power of their lesson, they might have thought twice about imparting it to their son... but there's no sense crying over spilt milk. One way or another, he would have learned to seek happiness on his own.

[Ah, but that's right: there's a task attached to these stories, isn't there? Lobelia was simply enjoying a little trip down memory lane, but he'll make an effort to conform to the demands of the task for the sake of gaining something new and potentially interesting.]

"Maman and Papa, your lesson was not for naught, as happiness I did seek without aforethought. Your cri de mort will live on within the conque, the seeds planted by your lesson quite féconde."

[conchy]

Come now, am I not a homme with eyes? Your beauty is plain to see from the moment you open your mouth to let loose those cris glorieux!
