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. ))

...

Not a hard place. Just a different one.

We're not with Him any longer, though.

[mysticpowerbroker]

Well, a lot of beings are created in...creative ways, so I suppose it isn't too out there.

[ So Beel has a fair point, and Merlin can eavesdrop a little because nothing is sacred in games. ]

Mm, that's true, a lot of us have eventful lives...or had.

Though, since we're back here it's probably roped back around to definitely eventful again.

[passetemps]

[ look he is just very socially awkward ]

[idologue]

Mr. Pink! He's my friend.

[ And as an afterthought: ] He's a mini-robot.

[dupiety]

Oh, is that a copout? I figured taking a drink simply for being a human being was a bit unfair.

[townmusician]

[He’s not drinking either, but he doesn’t see the problem.]

Well, you were an idol. That makes sense.

[Smooching while an idol? That’s too scandalous!!!!]

[immortalpoet]

Ah.

Does he do anything besides talk?

[gluttoning]

Heheh.

[As if on cue, his stomach growls, so he trots backwards on his heels with a wave.]

You too, Vergilius. As best you can.

[hearnoplague]

[ He leans in to better inspect the orb. Gently touching it with his hand. ]

[passetemps]

It is called origami. The art of folding paper.

[solutionary]

I think it would have been exceptionally unfortunate if we hadn’t come together. This is my dear Changsheng.

[Changsheng visibly puffs up, clearly pleased with such a warm welcome.]

Finally, a properly respectful persson. It is nice to meet you too.

[hearnoplague]

Somehow, yes? At least that's what the "Raptor" fellow posted in one of them.

[hearnoplague]

Created you? From what?

[immortalpoet]

One of your many endless hobbies?

Where did you even learn stuff like this?

[idologue]

Quite possibly? But to be fair, he thinks a lot of things are problems. He's a little on the easily riled up side.

[ You too, huh... Well, she's kind of glad there's others in her predicament. ]

[microtransactions]

Huh! Hey, how much can he think for himself, then?

[ is this a 'pull string, get canned quote' type thing or ... ]

[immortalpoet]

"Raptor" can do that but not a block function, huh. Useless.

Re: Never have I ever referred to myself in the third person.

[divector]

Well, down it goes.

[ Drinks as well! ]

[idologue]

Ah, my situation was a little exceptional on that front. I also had a very public engagement as part of a political gambit my father made...

[ But the engagement did not result in smooches anyway. Help her. ]

[townmusician]

Are you just looking for gossip?

[Because he could be interested in gossip, even if this feels like a shady way to get it.]

[gluttoning]

[Nothing is sacred in the public comms RIP in Pieces.]

Mn. I'd like to go without this kind of eventful-ness, if it's all the same to you.

I guess it's not wrong to be curious, though. There's a few people around here I'd like to learn a little more about.

[idologue]

He's adorable! And he can play fun games like catch or hide and seek.

[ These are important qualities! ]

[gluttoning]

From nothing.

Father could do that.

[divector]

No blood relatives here.

[ saaaaaafe ]

[immortalpoet]

[sounds stupid.]

So you use him just for fun.
