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. ))

[ Honestly? This is a nice little morale boost. While the song isn't something Wei Wuxian isn't at all familiar with, the performance is cute enough that he enjoys it.

When it's done, Wei Wuxian claps. ]

Good work, you two.

[immortalpoet]

You sound like a nuisance. What good reason is there to do that?

[plunges]

Letters.

[ tech in genshin

closes my eyes ]

Is that not something you do where you're from?

[finalforte]

[Drinking and sulking about it.]

[finalforte]

[Shockingly, she doesn't drink!]

[passetemps]

[ sigh... yeah okay he sees what you're getting at. ]

...I would not argue that these events cannot be valuable for other people. I have seen the way they've lifted the spirits of some of my allies over the course of the war, and I appreciate that.

They simply do not serve that function for me.

[ and so he ends up here with this pile of napkins, distracting himself from the distraction. ]

[finalforte]

Hyaha, seriously?

[Drinking!]

[townmusician]

N-no! There's nothing wrong with it at all!

[XIAO!!!]

Just... I don't know, it seems a bit obvious... N-not that that makes it a bad choice!!

[idologue]

It's unfortunate but true... and it caught a lot of people~

[plunges]

[ He's speechless. This sort of rhythm and dancing isn't something he's seen before. It's different. And yet, he thinks of how Barbatos' songs had healed him, comforted him...

...It's not the same, but their performances are enough to lift his spirits at least a little. He nods towards them, and even if it's not very visible, it is a silent way for him to say "thank you". ]

[gluttoning]

...?

Is something wrong?

[plunges]

I thought the objective was to get as many people as possible.

[townmusician]

[Well. He did say that.]

That's true... Well, I guess you did do better then some other people...

[Nobody's going to talk about their dead moms over phones, right?]

[finalforte]

[She's not taking a drink??? Is this right?????????]

[diabolizes]

Well...

[ He takes a long pull of his beer. ]

Someone I was indebted to was kidnapped and held as prisoner in the aftermath of a war. I demanded to know where they were, along with everyone else that was taken with them. What better way to make that demand than in public?

[finalforte]

Huh? Were you even playing?

[plunges]

I am now.

[ SURPRISE ]

[chosenwang]

[ Wow. ]

Does this face look like most people? You should move that fringe of yours and look again.

[ Just going to smooth his hair as he says that.

Also hello? Vergie Verguson? What kind of world are you from? ]

While I don't doubt I'd be worth quite a bit, I'm not really someone who would go down easily.

[ He's like a cockroach tbh ]

[dakicover]

Well… I thought that’d be obvious. Of course you’re still people.

[ even if she’s genetically modified and enhanced, it doesn’t mean that she’s any less human. ]

But I guess… siblings don’t have to be blood related. Maybe you could find someone like that, too.

[solutionary]

[Oh, a good one! Or at least one Baizhu doesn’t need to drink for]

[immortalpoet]

I can see your vapid face just fine.

[MEAN]

Oh? How are you so sure?

[dakicover]

Yep! Other towns/villages have other names, of course.

[finalforte]

They probably did deserve it.

[dakicover]

And it worked out! See? You don’t need complicated reasons to do things; just do ‘em.

[finalforte]
