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. ))

[Now it's Nona's turn to be confused.]

I'm not... You said to say nice things, so I said nice things.

[butcherspice]

Same shite I do every day until I start smellin' the fucking ocean. Don't think I gotta describe my whole flat.

[He's only half cooperating.]

[felame]

[ come over here so she can make the ms stand for mutilated man ]

I fail to see how attaching numbers to something as shallow as appearance is entertaining.

[ fun? can you eat it? ]

Though I suppose a compliment, as unneeded or unwanted as it is, is a compliment.
I thank you for it.

[solutionary]

[..........little boomer

oh how the mighty have fallen]

I wasn't thinking of anything specific, necessarily, so much as anything you two might have both come into contact with even if you haven't met each other. The Conqueror of Demons and I had run into each other in the same area where there was a toxic poison. It's been dealt with now, but it was one such thing that both of us interacted with.

[solutionary]

So yours is unlikely to have been witnessed directly, but not impossible?

[felame]

[ nona........ ]

That message was not meant to be me opting into this.
Your enthusiasm is, however, noted.

[ xiaospeak for "thank you"? ]

[immortalpoet]

i should have expected this

[immortalpoet]

🤝

BLOCK

[immortalpoet]

preparing for a bloodbath i would think but i guess everyone forgot that

i don't care

[immortalpoet]

[A long-suffering sigh.]

Sure. Why not. Knock yourself out. Knock him out.

[immortalpoet]

[hey bro what if we were two men and we stood angsty animely against the wall]

[immortalpoet]

[SHAKES HIS HAND but not in real life just emotionally]

[immortalpoet]

[looking over and raising an eyebrow but...sure squid guy. join the club]

[immortalpoet]

i didn't YELL at him

but great

just what i needed. as if the color fans weren't obnoxious enough

[dancing_flames]

[There is room enough for two along this wall

with five feet of space between because this is how we do]

[dancing_flames]

Essentially.

[It could always have been Deep Snow, but... after the way their battle ended, he very much doubts that.]

I don't exactly bring it out as a party trick.

un: Tenkuuzakura

[dancing_flames]

No. I'm not on the market.

[immortalpoet]

[just doing a little nod here]


[that's it]


[he got nothing to add u go girl (ignores sonya's existence)]

[stilllovesyou]

It's hard to tell over the network.

[butcherspice]

[Billy can't help letting out an amused snort at how aggressive Mr. Pink is towards him.]

What, lookin' to pick a fight, you cheeky blighter? I'll send you sailin' like a football if you push it!

[He doesn't sound serious about it. At learning the blend, Billy considers for a moment before nodding to himself.]

Well, ain't about to turn down fresh tea if you're offerin', lass.

[This is not an indication of any trust though--he just isn't clocking her as a threat at the moment, obviously.]

[mysticpowerbroker]

Wow, rude!!

I'm a pretty man and you know it!!!

[ As if that's the only thing that factored into it... ]

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Glad to be of (dubious) assistance, Zelkov. ]

I suppose that's a little fair!

But, your welcome~

[felame]

[ sometimes you're short and bad with technology and your entire x thousand years of reputation gets stepped on ]

I see. I wasn't aiming for specifics, so that is sufficient. I'm simply getting a feel for the kinds of things people have encountered, and what may be possible, given our... [ weird! weird! ] different backgrounds.

[ who knows what other Horrors are out there ]

But, as for that possibility... It would be presumptuous of me to disregard anything from only personal stories. However, our circumstances may have made mutually encountering something like that difficult.

[rapt0r]

no i wanted to prove him how stupid his name was
