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. ))

[.]

Oh. Yes, I suppose it is. I just thought you'd see their deaths as divine retribution instead.

[Maybe it has something to do with the car...]

[gluttoning]

I wouldn't know. [He continues to pat the orb. Good boy.]

It's just surprising. I always thought a human engagement is a pretty big commitment for love.

But... is that how you both wanted it, while you had it? To stay simple like that?

[townmusician]

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAA?]

V-Vergilius-san! How long have you been there?!

[chosenwang]

We do have quite the collection brought here.

It's Wang Lu of the Spirit Blade Sect. [ ... ] Which might not matter so much here. What's yours?

[idologue]

You started with the emoji, to be fair.

[ And you're kind of easy to tease, but that is neither here nor there and certainly doesn't need to be verbalized. ]

But I shall stop distracting you now.

[dupiety]

[Wow!!]

I'll allow you to decide then, dear Beelzebub. If you want me to drink, then I shall.

[felame]

[ this is just a convenient sip of water, and nothing more. ]

[dupiety]

[He fakes a put-upon sigh.]

I suppose you're right.

[idologue]

Haro! Too bad!

[ This time his owner is here to translate... or at least give her best guess as to what he means. ]

His vocabulary is pretty limited, but... let's see... Never has he ever sat still through a whole movie!

[dupiety]

I prefer to call it "gathering information."

[Let's get that hot goss, Haruka.]

[felame]

[ mmm. there's a bit of silence, a kind of agreement in it. were she a lesser person, she'd question her own reaction to such things. ]

Indeed. I would say this might age poorly, but with this group... I cannot be sure.

[ help ]

[idologue]

Indeed. There are household robots made for other purposes, but Mr. Pink is only intended as a companion.

[dupiety]

[Temenos certainly isn't offended. It's the truth.]

Thank you for seeing it my way.

[gluttoning]

[He nods.]

I'll allow it. It sounds like there's quite a few of you in the same spot.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to bring up anything unpleasant, but I can see how it would.

[divector]

easy gift idea. give him one for his birthday then

[divector]

sure i'll be ready with popcorn

[microtransactions]

[ when they find psyche and magolor in the swimming pool, they'll know what did them in, huh...

regarding the heat, though: ]

Me? Oh, I'm used to a volcanic climate! So I'm fine, this is positively breezy in comparison!

[necrotiem]

[She was dying a bit in the heat, and therefore she had to improvise. It's a struggle look, and yet a look nonetheless.]

Hahaha! Surely we can't be the worst you've ever had, Father? I know for a fact young nuns can be rather headstrong.

[gluttoning]

?

Why thank me for that?

[chrysaline]

[ Do Haros have lips; how terrifying would Haros be with lips???

Psyche stares a little at Mr. Pink, thankfully only contemplating the first half of this. ]

Hee hee... I suppose he can keep it a secret.

[ ara ara~ ]

[gluttoning]

Mn. At this point, I've got a bunch of you taking that out for similar reasons.

Stick with your answer. I don't plan to fight it.

[dupiety]

I've grown far too accustomed to being chastised and reprimanded for such views. This is a breath of fresh air in comparison.

[necrotiem]

Did you just say you were engaged?

[There is a problem, if Waltaquin heard her correctly. She also drinks discreetly.]

[gluttoning]

Beelzebub. [He nods firmly.]

Nice to meet you, Wang Lu of the Spirit Blade Sect. [Whatever that means!]

[dakicover]

Eh? How come?
