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. ))

So roses can be associated with secrets... I didn't know that.

[ But this girl, who has roses as her profile banner, sounds very pleased to have learned it. ]

There's a lot of interesting meanings ascribed to flowers all over the world. Maybe I should use those polls to ask everyone for examples from their worlds.

[ Crea throws the ball, and Xiao catches it with ease. He's put distance between him and the other, and he looks down at the ball, and then back up at Crea. He's also wearing his island gear, matchies... ]

...

[ Tentatively, he throws the ball back. ]

I believe you would have to be more specific.

Changsheng says “why are YOU”

[skyworp]

Very well. That'll do nicely.

[He points at her, as if making it official.]

I like your outfit, Psyche. It arrests attention. Clashes with just about everything. Wonderfully chaotic.

[This.....is a compliment, right?]

un: temenos

[dupiety]

This was bound to happen when ~30 strangers are trapped on an island and threatened to commit murder.

[conchy]

Oui! Roses have an entire language of their own, and as you said, all flowers do. Still, there is none more magnifique than the rose!

[And he'll gladly explain more if she does happen to put up a poll, but in the meantime...]

I'll tell you another phrase: Envoyer quelqu'un sur les roses. Sending someone roses is a euphémisme for getting rid of them. Roses may be beautiful, but they hide their sharp thorns quite well.

[And he wonders if the same might be said of Lacus.]

Why are *you* like this?

un: ironlotus

[felame]

There is no other way I can be.
I would be glad to meet you head on so you can see the truth behind this statement yourself.

[idologue]

[ Oh... The way he has to try out the word 'friends' as though it is completely novel to him... Lacus can't help but be a little touched. ]

This is a very unfortunate set of circumstances to experience it, but... I am glad for you, that you have met people who make you feel it.

We're going to have to do our best to find an alternate solution so we can return to those who are waiting.

Great 🎶








Did you meet a "Ho-Oh" yet?

[ho_ohs]

Was there much else to get from this?

[ho_ohs]

Could have fooled me.

[necrotiem]

Yes. I couldn't be a part of their machinations any longer.

[She talks about the differences in beliefs that led to her leave with casual disgust, as if she knows she's in the right but can't muster any passion for it.]

I intend to pursue my research into ancient sorcery, of course. I'll look for something that can afford me the most resources. Maybe I can play a little with my former allies on the way.

[mysticpowerbroker]

You're a funny guy! But, hm...

At least generally attractive based upon appearance and confident to boot. I think I'd leverage you a 8.5/10.

un: mm

[mysticpowerbroker]

Sorry that you can't handle me~♡

un: killingtime

[passetemps]

This is not a question I can easily answer without getting into some rather unpleasant subject matter, and I would prefer to *avoid* that.

garden;

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ And in the garden, here is Merlin as well. ]

Our situation is detestable but it is pretty nice to have some unique flora to look at, hm?

[necrotiem]

I suppose I missed the mark.

[Everyone keeps saying that...but she really can't see it.

Waltaquin cocks her head to the side.]

I like your take on it. Being destined for obscurity in oblivion is rather heart-gripping, isn't it? Especially if you're someone who'd like his name remembered.

[rapt0r]

the pic i posted is from my run so yeah

[rapt0r]

that no one thinks of your "fancy" bird when they read ho-oh

do u even know whats it supposed to look like?

[chrysaline]

[ Amazing compliment. Perfect, no notes. Psyche beams with very visible delight. ]

Thank you. And I like your honesty, Lord Skywarp. It's always refreshing to talk to someone who speaks their mind.

[necrotiem]

In your estimation, wouldn't the ending be happy instead of horrific?

[Or is the scary part that the "hottie" was also caught in the explosion...?]

[ho_ohs]

Most of them hardly know what a 'Ho-oh' is. Hence the information.

No one knows exactly what it's supposed to look like. That's what makes it a mythical bird.

[necrotiem]

[Hehehehe.]

Well, I can't wear out my welcome that quickly. I have to maintain some level of decorum. You'll simply have to keep watching me to see if I remain unattached.
