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. ))

[immortalpoet]

...Thanks.

[See, he can be polite. A little nod, and he takes it, gives a sip.]

Enjoying yourself?

[diabolizes]

[ He admires your politeness, Vergilius. ]

I am! It's been a while since I've attended a party, actually.

[immortalpoet]

How come? Not enough happening where you're from?

[diabolizes]

They stopped inviting me to gatherings and banquets.

[ For, like, good reason. ]

[immortalpoet]

Because of your winning personality?

[don't be mean, verg]

[diabolizes]

Hahahahahaha! That's a good one!

[ Don't mind him as he laughs a little bit more... ]

You aren't far off. Turns out people don't like it when you show up uninvited and make demands, even if it's for good reason.

[immortalpoet]

You sound like a nuisance. What good reason is there to do that?

[diabolizes]

Well...

[ He takes a long pull of his beer. ]

Someone I was indebted to was kidnapped and held as prisoner in the aftermath of a war. I demanded to know where they were, along with everyone else that was taken with them. What better way to make that demand than in public?

[immortalpoet]

[....]

[Hm.]

Did that work?

[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.

[immortalpoet]

[A light edge of a smirk.]

Not planning on making any announcements?

[diabolizes]

Not right now, no.

[ He grins. ]

But if you give me something to announce and I'll get up on a table and do it.

[immortalpoet]

[A little shake of the head.]

No, nothing comes to mind. Your services will have to be used another time.

[diabolizes]

Call on me for that anytime!

[ He's serious about that too. ]

Anyway, I do hope that this party isn't as terrible as you may have anticipated.

[immortalpoet]

Sure.

[A little shrug of his shoulders.]

It's....fine.

[diabolizes]

Fine is better than I expected from you. I thought you'd say the party was obnoxious.

[immortalpoet]

Oh, it is.

[LANDING ON THAT DESCRIPTION]

[diabolizes]

[ He laughs, tempted to pat Vergilius’ shoulder in his laughter, but he doesn’t because he doesn’t have a death wish. ]

Let yourself have some fun for once!

[immortalpoet]

[WWX is one of the smartest people on the island for this alone.]

What's the point?

[diabolizes]

To not be miserable all the time.

[ He means it. ]

[immortalpoet]

Eh.

[Sounds fake.]

[diabolizes]

Surely you could at least consider making an effort, Vergilius.

[ He... doubts it, though. ]

If you don't balance out all the negativity with something to take your mind off of it, it'll consume you. Or is that something you've long since accepted?

[immortalpoet]

[At the last part, he merely shrugs his shoulders back, closing his eyes.]

Go have fun with your party, Wei Wuxian.

[diabolizes]

[ He smiles, lifting his drink. ]

See you around, gramps.

[immortalpoet]

I'm not that old.

[PLEASE]
