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. ))

un: killingtime

[passetemps]

My *philosophy* toward life is that I would prefer to keep myself busy so that I am killing time rather than letting it kill me.

Unfortunately I selected this name *before* the announcement about what we would all be expected to do here, unaware of the *unseemly* irony that would eventually be attached to it.

I would ask that you please not get the wrong idea.

[dupiety]

Oh, dear.

Well, should you ever feel the need to speak about it or get something off of your chest, I am qualified to listen.

[passetemps]

I am *aware*.

[gluttoning]

Your heart's attached to your stomach?

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ hecking crying ]

No, no!

I mean, you know how when someone cooks for you, and then wins your affection? That sort of thing.

[gluttoning]

Oh.

It won't work if they're not a good cook.

Bad food is worse than no food.

[microtransactions]

About how everyone would forget who they were talking to otherwise, or?

Tell you what, I'll pretend I didn't say that. By all means, glib comment away, my dude.

[gluttoning]

U

[He has nothing better to do, why not.]

[dupiety]

Hahaha.

[That's all there is to this message, he just finds it funny.]

[mysticpowerbroker]

Well, yes. Bad food would definitely be a turn-off.

Speaking of food, though...even you have to have a favorite type, right? 🤔

[immortalpoet]

want to pull my skin back and see for yourself

[immortalpoet]

wish this was as simple as the forums

[dupiety]

Nothing quite so meaningful, no. Our usernames are easily traced back to the owner no matter what they are called.

Now that I have stated my intent, there's no point in making the comment. So I will simply say that mine is named after myself simply because I had never interacted with such a device in my life. It is now my understanding that these usernames are aliases of a sort?

un: mm

[mysticpowerbroker]

M stands for Merlin~

[immortalpoet]

really glad when life confirms everything i think it is

[immortalpoet]

its my title

un: bishopkallamar

[hearnoplague]

I was wondering why half of these "user names" did not match their actual name. What is the purpose of them, and why do people choose such strange names if everyone knows who they really are?

[chrysaline]

Sunscreen? You don't mean one of those hats? I've been careful, but I keep burning anyway.

[ crea please save a life ]

un: ironlotus

[felame]

[ everyone out here with a shitpost and— ]

A lotus is a symbol of rebirth and resilience. Iron is... a personal joke, perhaps. It's been used as a reference to myself in the past by others.

It's merely an unimportant display of the resolve I would like to show; the path I have chosen above all else.

[ chill ]

And Xiao was taken.

[ she's joking (?) ]

un: psyche

[chrysaline]

What does the second M stand for?

[idologue]

That's beautiful reasoning. I like the juxtaposition of the metal with the fragile flower - it makes it seem contradictory, yet strong and beautiful.

[microtransactions]

Ah! Let me explain to you with a question of my own, then! ◢(0◡˂̵ ✧)◣

So, what would you have picked if there was already someone else here who picked the name 'bishopkallamar'? And no, you can't both be bishopkallamar.

[microtransactions]

Simple, straight, to the point! I like it! A straight shooter as always, Mr. Vergy. ＼(￣▽￣)／

[gluttoning]

Forums?

What are forums?

[gluttoning]

Human world cheeseburgers. The larger, the better.

[It's an immediate answer.]
