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. ))

I know Old Maid. We could go with that, unless you wanna learn poker.

[mysticpowerbroker]

Don't worry about it!

[rapt0r]

gross

i want to know how ugly u think he is

[dupiety]

And yet you didn't make a production of tearing down my character as you did with Merlin. Interesting. That said, I will take your opinion to heart and deeply reflect upon it.

[Read: He will not change and that is a promise.]

Now you have me curious, though. Would you actually put forth the effort to teach me?

[He assumes that was a jest, but like. He's not opposed. It could end up being useful.]

[mysticpowerbroker]

Unfortunately, I have eyes! And a wonderful, splendid personality, thank you very much!

[conchy]

It's too late to take it back, bouffon! Now spare what shame you have left and run along now!

[rapt0r]

thx

the first one was me

this one obviously wasnt

[divector]

so that means ho-oh wanted to be roasted?

how masochistic

[conchy]

You've yet to earn the full extent of my ire! Haha!

[Maybe Temenos is just too pretty to hate? That won't spare him from anything else Lobelia might like to do to him, but that's not what they're here to discuss.]

Oui! If you make a good student, I wouldn't mind offering you some lessons. I don't like repeating myself, so can you promise to take my lessons to heart and study diligently?

[mysticpowerbroker]

Hmm, I guess you did answer it. Kind of? I think it might actually be just fine you did reply, since I got a chance to rate you!

[ He almost double-takes at the second part of the response, but it's fine. ]

What japery? I really do think you're a 9/10. Is it that surprising?

[conchy]

If you find it so unfortunate, might I lend you my aid?

[Who needs eyes anyhow?]

[necrotiem]

[She nods.] The better to fit in with our surroundings. It'd be hard to produce these dyes naturally, so I thought it was all finely made...

[As she pulls a t-shirt by its sleeve and rubs her fingers to the fabric, however, it tells a different story.] It feels quite cheap, actually.

[divector]

We could. But out of curiosity, how do you play poker? I know it's related to the term "poker face", but not much else.

un:defaultuser3625

[butcherspice]

how do you mute the fucking polls

[felame]

[ GRIPS YOU

just like xiao grips sonya with the side glance that says many things but also no things ]

It would be distasteful of me to refer to you prior to speaking with you personally, Sonya of the Yurodiviye.

[ sussy baka ]

It seems our captors are unexpectedly fond of the City.

[divector]

agreed! and yours is rather cute. are you interested in space?

[diabolizes]

That's right! Sometimes, not even a talisman can protect you from the evil deeds of someone just passing by.

[ Is there a lesson in there somewhere? Who knows. ]

[gravitys]

I'm comporting myself in a way that makes me happy, so quit bitching about how I talk. It's not debasement if it's what I want to do, isn't that your thing?

And when I find some shit that I don't mind wearing I'll switch it up. Probably would just go shirtless over any of these loud-ass Hawaiian shirts though.

[gravitys]

You get a 4/10.

[ Dazai Vibes will get anyone an automatic -5. ]

[gravitys]

[ He will give a brief outline! Nothing too tl;dr, just basics. Because poker confuses me but not him, we will just go ~rp magic~. ]

Honestly, a poker face is good for any game though.

[dupiety]

Aren't I lucky?

[Anyway, after one long, suffering sigh later:]

Very well. You have my word. Fortunately for you, I am a quick study.

[gravitys]

That's pretty usual for gift shop level stuff. [ Unfortunately... ] I usually get my shit from tailors and whatever, so it's a huge step down.

[microtransactions]

Oh! Existential dread writ large, a classic.

[gravitys]

I'm not usually a storyteller, I gotta say.

[divector]

[ same tbh! rp magic goooo ]

Makes sense. They do always say to keep your cards close. Funny to think how much that applies to life in general.
