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. ))

[downs his glass of something fruity]

[chosenwang]

It's always the quiet ones.

[immortalpoet]

That's just how it is with plenty of people in the City.

[He's not special!!]

[chosenwang]

[ Isn't he? ]

Doesn't sound like a very welcoming place then.

[immortalpoet]

[a little scoff]

Most of you wouldn't last more than a few minutes there.

[chosenwang]

Cute that you think I'm most people. [ wink ] What makes is so terrible?

[immortalpoet]

You're most people.

[SO DEADPAN]

If someone from the Backstreets won't kill you and sell your body to be used for food or fuel, you'll probably be decapitated by a Fixer on a job. Or maybe one of The Carnival will eat your body to spin into thread. Among many other things.

[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 ]

[immortalpoet]

I can see your vapid face just fine.

[MEAN]

Oh? How are you so sure?

[chosenwang]

It's okay. You don't need to pretend. I know I look good.

[ He's just being shy it's okay ]

I have my ways. Besides, I survived my Master's training. Anything after that is easy.

[immortalpoet]

[He just stares at that, eyes dimly glowing.]

And what is your Master's training, exactly?

[chosenwang]

Surprising me around every corner with a beating. She'd break every bone in my body and make it so I couldn't walk! She took way too much joy in doing so. Can you believe that? [ Woe is him etc etc... ] It was every day without break. She even got her friend in on it.

[immortalpoet]

That's it?

[chosenwang]

What do you mean by that's it? You haven't met my Master. [ Just going to exaggerate shiver and make a brrr noise as he rubs his own arms. ] She's quite the sadistic monster.

[immortalpoet]

A lot of Fixers go through that on a regular basis. It's why many have elected to go for prosthetics and augmentation.

Honestly, she should have done it more, with an attitude like yours.

[chosenwang]

Prosthetics, huh? Do you have anything like that?

What are you talking about? I'm attitude is flawless. Nothing will beat that out of me.

[immortalpoet]

No.

[blunt.]

Sounds like delusion to me.

[chosenwang]

[ Can't wait for people to wonder if Vergie has a hidden prosthetic ]

You're welcome to try.

[immortalpoet]

I'm not going to try. The last thing I want is for someone to ask "what happened with dear Wang Lu? I'm sure he's behind this pile of body parts over here".

[chosenwang]

That confident, huh? [ He can respect that even if thinks you won't leave him in pieces ] Maybe another time then.

[immortalpoet]

I didn't become a Color by simply standing around.

[A sigh...]

What do you even do? For your ability to fight.

[chosenwang]

So standing around is just your past time then.

[ Since he keeps doing that. ]

I'm a cultivator for a Sect. Do you have something like that in your world?

[immortalpoet]

You would wish that were the case.

[But no.]

That means nothing to me.

[chosenwang]

You do do it with quite a bit of skill, but I have other wishes that are much more interesting.

[ Like him secretly being into ddr or something

Putting a hand on his chin. How to explain this... ]

I'm part of a group that cultivates their soul through training and tasks. We also help out those in need. [ He doubts Vergie will be impressed but be impressed ]

[immortalpoet]

So..............like an Office.

[Sounds like one. Whatever that means to Vergilius.]

How does one "cultivate the soul"?
