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. ))

Just this once? Don’t get ahead of yourself, Xiao-san.

[Maybe they’ll have more parties where he can bother Xiao into having fun!!]

[chrysaline]

Hmm... do you think it needs dancing? I'm not certain many people here would like that.

[ which is maybe entirely the problem ]

[townmusician]

I’m not difficult!!

[He’s incredibly difficult. Anyone with eyes can see that.

But, oof. What a question.]

I… I think with everything going on here, whether I kiss anyone or not will be the last thing anyone thinks about.

[diabolizes]

It did, actually.

[ And he’s proud of it! Even if it cost him all future social gatherings, at least for the most part. ]

Needless to say, this party is much better than that one.

[diabolizes]

[ Ah, so he got caught. ]

Did I say it because of the task? Yes. But it’s true anyway. I’m not going to lie for some task.

[ He knows Haruka is sensitive, so Wei Wuxian isn’t going to risk hurting his feelings by lying. ]

[townmusician]

Like how it smells.

[He’s not just out here guzzling lotion!!]

Why did you even do this?

[gluttoning]

[that's his secret, captain, he's always hungry]

Used to? [Imagining a world without parfaits... that's so sad.]

What kind? I always liked the Ultra Monster Parfaits, but there's a Devil Carrot Curry one that's pretty good, too.

[diabolizes]

I do! It has several different flavors combined that speak relaxation… with how thrilled you were about the vacation, I think it speaks to that side of your personality.

[ She has no chill, but still. ]

[townmusician]

[Um, he’s an idol? What’s the worst that could happen?

it’s not like he’s from enstars.]

Is that a question you even care about the answer to?

[chosenwang]

[ Look he's not going to judge?

Okay, that's a lie. He is going to judge your lotion tasting ways. ]

Trying to be on brand with this place. If that's not to your liking, then we can find something without the coconut.

[diabolizes]

[ He refuses!! ]

Ah, is it that obvious?

[ Yes, probably. To a fellow cultivator, what Wei Wuxian does certainly speaks to a few things. ]

They have. I appreciate your concern, Wang Lu.

[dakicover]

Oh, sure...

[ why the hell not, right? they're at a fancy resort and he's never tried a drink from the present (or his future? that doesn't matter as much anymore) fancier than cheap beer or rum. ]

What does it taste like to you?

[immortalpoet]

....No, not really. But I thought you didn't want me to scare you. Should I go back to that?

[😏]

[chosenwang]

Don't worry. [ Giving his shoulder a pat ] The grays aren't that noticeable unless you have a keen eye.

[ While it may not matter to the people here, he's not going to talk about what that particular path might say. ]

[townmusician]

Vergilius-san, I think you need a better hobby.

[chosenwang]

[ There's a black hole under that flesh ]

Never found anyone to share one when I could. [ No sadness here. It's fine ]

Ultra Monster Parfaits? [ Devil Carrot Curry??? ] A chocolate one is what you usually see in shops.

[microtransactions]

[ thinking about this .....

okay, sure. siiip. ]

[immortalpoet]

[leaning innnnnn]

Boo.

[immortalpoet]

You would wish that were the case.

[But no.]

That means nothing to me.

[townmusician]

Ehhh… He sounds like someone who’d be a lot of work to deal with. You’d probably be better off with some other guy.

[Or girl. Who knows?? Haruka doesn’t!]

Reserved people are pretty boring, anyways.

[dakicover]

He's basically like a god. And while I can counter some of his magic, I'm sure that he would eventually overpower me.

[ and considering sion's opinion, there's unfortunately little chance that he would get the support from his friend. if the thought of that stings, then he doesn't show it. ]

It's tough, but you're right, it's not impossible. [ he nods, a small smile appearing on his expression. ] The good thing about jumping through worlds is that you can see an infinite amount of possibilities. In other words, I think I was able to find people that I could ask for help and actually stand a chance at defeating the Boss. So... maybe things are looking up.

[ well, before he was forcibly transported to have a vacation. ]

[immortalpoet]

i could care less. keep out of our business from now on and we'll stay out of yours.

if you wish to be an obstacle, we do know we have to run those over.

[townmusician]

[He is giving up on half of this conversation.]

what the hell? how did you manage that out of candy and energy drinks??

[ho_ohs]

The birds might, too.

[This Is Fine.]

[immortalpoet]

Go for it.

[get those burds]

Whatever. Maybe you should go take yourself and your other self and be so unapologetically yourselves elsewhere.
