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. ))

They have, haven't they? I'd never had a mixed drink until I came here, but I've had a chance to try a few.

[ He looks over their options. ]

What kind of flavors do you like?

[ While he hasn't tried everything, he should be able to pick through the ones he knows now to find something suitable. ]

[ for a second, crea has to ponder the question. what kind of flavors does he like? but then a recent memory pops up, and he lights up like a sunny day. ]

Actually, I tried something really fascinating a couple days ago! It was a drink in the gift shop that was both sweet and tangy! The flavor was so intense, it almost made my heart stop!

[ local guy from 1000 years ago tried a fuckin dollar store sports drink. ]

Something like that!

[diabolizes]

If you ever have the chance, I'd like for you to show me one of those drinks.

[ He has to know what that heart-stopping flavor is...

But for now, he'll point out one particular drink. ]

Try the Cosmopolitan.

[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?

[diabolizes]

It tastes sweet with the cranberry juice, but there's a bit of a punch from the lime. The flavor of alcohol is a bit washed out with the intensity of the juices, but it's still good.

[dakicover]

Well, I'd say it's worth trying out.

[ he'll take the drink, pouring some in a cup and taking a sip of it... ]

No way... it's tastes really good! It's... it's like fruity but you can still sense the alcohol... this is awesome!!!

[diabolizes]

Isn't it? I have a great sense for alcohol.

[ While he barely drinks now, he's always had a good grasp on what flavors are the best... well, in his opinion, at least. ]

It's really too bad my favorite isn't here.
