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. ))

[ the vibes in this chilis are off man

you get a handshake ]

[plunges]

Then that poses the question of why only some of us were chosen with some familiarity beforehand.

[plunges]

I have trouble believing otherwise. I get the impression that most of what they've done so far is very much intentional.

[plunges]

i did not ask

[plunges]

[ ... ]

I...made some missteps in my approach with them. I am still adjusting to the technology of this world.

[ Poor tall!Xiao, he is tarnishing her good name... ]

what

[plunges]

?

[plunges]

i am figuring it out

[microtransactions]

Honestly, neither am I. I'm better at collecting stories than telling them.

[microtransactions]

even if people were doing that—and i'm definitely not saying they aren't—i don't think most of them would be advertising it on here.

outside of the gang taking bets yesterday, maybe.

[microtransactions]

oh there's way too many different reasons this might be happening. maybe someone just really needs a distraction, who knows?

or maybe they're just fishing for compliments. who can say!

[microtransactions]

Wait, I think you might be getting the wrong idea? Σ◢(0o0;)◣

I might have helped a little this time around but really I'm not a hero or anything like that! There's a couple of people back home who're waaaay more used to dealing with this kind of stuff when it happens

[skyworp]

I’ll save you all the trouble. 11/10

[skyworp]

I was unappreciated all-round. My presence unwelcome. I daresay they weren't ready for me yet. But now - I've seen the future, and it's me. They'll learn to love me yet.

[townmusician]

i'm not sure how to feel about this

but thanks i guess??

[townmusician]

[]

i don't like this

[townmusician]

idk he might be pretty hot

it's kind of hard to tell

like is he probably a loser? sure

but i'd buy that he could still be kinda sexy

[townmusician]

idk if you just don't talk to him he'll probably give up????

it's worth trying at least

like you said, don't give him the time of day

[townmusician]

well if you say so

but if you need help then like

i probably know how it works better then you do

[ho_ohs]

[Did y'all want an answer sheet? You're getting an answer sheet and also no answers.]

A Ho-oh is both a bird and a type of chimera (frequently depicted with the beak of a rooster, the jaw of a swallow, the neck of a snake, and the tail of a peacock), often paralleled with the phoenix. Its tail feathers are colored according to the five elements, and it is associated with cosmic balance and unity. Unsurprisingly, they are sacred and associated with the imperial family as well as the sun and the element of fire. The appearance of a Ho-oh heralds new eras of prosperity, while its disappearance is associated with oncoming disaster.

[skyworp]

[Around the resort Skywarp makes his appearance in true Skywarp fashion, warping in front of or behind his fellow captives, accosting them with a singular demand:]

You there. Give me something nice to say about you!

[He really wants that reward.

Later on, after he’s gone his fair share of bothering, he can be found in the boutique, eyeing up a collection of eye-searing tropical shirts.]

Loud. Garish. I like them. How best to wear them, do you think?

[finalmix]

it was sooooooo hard

[ pls make him stop ]

[finalmix]
