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. ))

[gluttoning]

Mmmsghhfphhr!

[Give him a second.

At least he looks happy.]

/2

[gluttoning]

[Okay, hands free, mouth empty, let's try that again.]

I wasn't going to bother, but she has plenty of food. Maybe it'll be nice to get to know each other a little more.

[dupiety]

So I am continuously learning.

[Huff.]

[chrysaline]

I think so, too. They must have some other way of determining our powers, if yours weren't even known.

[ Hm... ]

I'm sorry. That must have been something of a shock.

[rapt0r]

did anyone even know it was a bird???

[gluttoning]

[He's practically inhaling hot dogs to the side, but he does take a breather to squint at the bar.]

There's no Demonus, is there?

[per mods, there is not. :(]

[solutionary]

[Baizhu is also in attendance, and probably less reluctantly than some others. He has taken up residence in a chair that's half in the sun and half out, shielded partially by the umbrella stuck in the accompanying table. He keeps an even eye on the people milling about, but isn't making any moves just yet to leave his chair.

If you look closely he also looks ....off, despite wearing his usual outfit. It isn't until someone walks a little too close or watches for a while that they might see Changsheng dip her head down over the side of the umbrella above Baizhu to hiss something at him.]

[diabolizes]

Ah... who knew I'd be taking a drink so soon?

[ He has a sip! ]

We aren't blood related, but it still counts.

[diabolizes]

[ Well, it's at least an excuse to have another sip. ]

Never have I ever gone swimming in the ocean

[chrysaline]

[ At last a game made for Psyche... she is watching eagerly, holding a drink. Surely something she's done will come up eventually! She's done things! ]

[townmusician]

Lowered inhibitions might just encourage more violence, don’t you think?

[chrysaline]

It was nice of you to arrange this, Kanon.

[ She headed over here to say hello, but maybe she should pick up a drink while she's here... ]

[gluttoning]

[Down another drink goes.]

Do you want to? We've got a lot of ocean around here.

[idologue]

[ Ah, here's Lacus' first sip of the evening. ]

We should rectify this, while we're here! The water's so nice.

[chrysaline]

I'd like to! But I was worried the current around here might be too strong for someone who hadn't tried it before?

[diabolizes]

[ A sip! ]

If you had asked only a few days ago, I wouldn't have had to take a drink. Good one.

[gluttoning]

Mn, that's true.

Stay close to the shore, and see if you can swim with someone else by your side if you're not confident.

[chrysaline]

[ Aha! This feels like a win. ]

It looks lovely. Does this mean you'll go with me, um... [ she really hasn't figured out modes of address for everyone yet... ] ...Miss Lacus?

[ho_ohs]

They agreed it was bird-shaped, usually like an eagle.

[passetemps]

[ zelkov is only here because merlin managed to annoy him until he caved. he's seated at a small out-of-the-way table, and rather than a drink from the bar, he has a thermos (a very convenient invention he found in the gift shop) full of hot tea he brewed himself.

he seems thoroughly out of place in this kind of setting and is quietly keeping himself busy with a stack of paper napkins, each of which is being meticulously folded into a swan, flower, or some other shape. ]

[chrysaline]

[ Hehe. ]

Thank you! I was thinking that most people would have tried by now. So it's your first time at the ocean?

[diabolizes]

It is, but I did grow up around plenty of water. I'd swim whenever I had the chance to! So naturally, I couldn't resist the ocean.

[rapt0r]

u should hear it

kinda sounds like a bird stuffed into a speaker

[microtransactions]

[ oh here we go, sip number one of whatever colorful, tropical concoction he's got in front of him. ]

You've really never been, even though we're here?

[chrysaline]

That's a good idea. I think it would be more fun with company, anyway. Do you do a lot of swimming...

[ The trailing off is definitely not because she hasn't learned everyone's names yet. ]
