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. ))

[Nods very seriously.]

I like when they go to coffee shops. The pastries always look good on TV.

[gluttoning]

[Not interrupting, but he is squinting at Kanon from over his drink.]

[finalforte]

[This is more than she deserves tbh.]

Did someone lie to you growing up?

[hearnoplague]

[ Listen, he's trying hard to not make himself look too bad while also summarizing something that could take hours to explain... ]

... Ah. How about this:

You should take care when traveling through the woods. The worm may be hungry again.

[finalforte]

[Apparently blatantly lying is the way to go with this girl, because she settles down with a satisfied look.]

That's much better!

[gluttoning]

No. I know I don't. Same goes for my brothers.

[finalforte]

[She's clearly too busy being an asshole to notice.]

[stilllovesyou]

[Okay!!! She's been given a task!!! She decides that this is important so she puts her whole focus into finding something that matches her new friend.]

I'll do my best! [Fashion... really isn't a priority where she comes from. She has her free moustache rides shirt (that has been cruelly taken from her) but beyond that she's not sure she's ever even heard Palamedes and Camilla talk about it. Crown loves it, but she's frustrated by the lack of options available for her in the war-torn city they live in, so she's had to make do.

It doesn't stop her from being the most beautiful girl she's ever seen (except for herself) but she does complain about the lack of hair conditioning.

But okay. An outfit for Lacus. Lacus seems to like pink, so something girly... hmmmm... this, maybe? She picks it out and then picks out some pink stockings. Is that too much pink? She can't tell. She's thinking really hard about this.]

[hearnoplague]

... The rare one might be more useful...

[ He looks at Chuuya... ] Though I can see why that one may be rare. I barely just met you all.

[stilllovesyou]

Great!

[She got a good grade in being polite (after failing MANY times).]

Um, does me saying you're really beautiful count as a compliment still or do I need to give another one?

[stilllovesyou]

I won't either!

[stilllovesyou]

[She looks... blatantly guilty, but she clearly doesn't want to drink the awful water (beer).]

...What if... I think I do?

[gluttoning]

[]

[chosenwang]

[ Taking a drink. ]

[dakicover]

Gotta keep the gag running for as long as I can!

[chosenwang]

[ He'll grab out his own shellphone to open up the flap flap bird app. He'll move to stand beside the other so he can see his screen. ]

It's all about timing.

[ Time to play flappy bird. Wang Lu will show him the start of it before the bird hits a pipe ]

See?

[dakicover]

[ he grins. ]

Really? Even I was kinda surprised to see that thing walking around. It's like if a car got legs and started moving. I wonder if he's scared of a screwdriver?

[chosenwang]

[ Also why is Wei Wuxian like an inch taller hello? Shrink you twink ]

I'm assuming you've been through quite the number of difficult times then.

[ Combo of that and he's seen your profile ]

I hope things have gotten better since.

[chosenwang]

[ Are you going to get hungry if they talk cakes? ]

They did look pretty good. I used to think about sharing a parfait with someone.

[stilllovesyou]

I don't like eating food. Pyrrha tried many ingredients but I didn't like any of them.

I like salt, but that's a rock. Camilla says I can't live off sand and I need real food because my body needs fuel.

[It's hard being Nona.]

[chrysaline]

Then I'm glad we still have a view like this here. I wouldn't want you to wilt again.

[ Psyche leans in a little manages to just barely not recoil from the smell of beer. That explains the face... ]

Ahaha, is it? Most things are bad for you if you have too much.

[townmusician]

I don’t think there’s just watching when superpowers gets involved, is there?

[chrysaline]

Do you think so? I suppose I like pretty things. I didn't know you did too, Your Excellency.

[ Kallamar was prepared for a title when he labelled himself "bishop" on the profiles, right? Psyche reaches out to take the necklace carefully, holding it up to the light. ]

[dakicover]

Well, we do have a church detective! Get him on the case!

[gluttoning]

Yeah. Not having food will make your body stop working. But if the food tastes bad, that can make it hard.

[He is the absolute worst person to ask about actually eating healthy, given his caloric intake, but he still thinks this Camilla person has a point.]

Are there smells that you like?
