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. ))

Ah, I see! The layers add the fluff that the feathers of a swan has in the back. You have a good eye for this sort of thing.

[ And he follows along closely, his meticulousness shining though as he very carefully and very deliberately follows Zelkov's movements. As a result, it means his swan is pretty decent... though it doesn't hold a candle to Zelkov's. ]

[passetemps]

Thank you. Though some of it is simply experience.

[ this is a relatively new pursuit by his standards, but he's still spent many hours at it.

he'll carefully look over the other swan when it's done like a judge evaluating a contest entry... and then give an approving nod. ]

A perfectly respectable first effort. With a bit of practice, I am sure your results would be quite impressive.

[diabolizes]

Thank you.

[ He smiles, glad that Zelkov confirmed his own thoughts. ]

Perhaps I'll give it a few more tries later, when I'm bored in my cabana. What other creatures do you like making?

[passetemps]

Then take all the napkins you need.

[ not like he really owns these napkins anyway, but ]

I've enjoyed making other types of birds, and dragons. There are some much more complex designs I have in mind with highly detailed wings, if all the folds actually work the way I picture them.

[diabolizes]

Birds with complex feathers, hm? Like a peacock?

[ The feathers in the back could even be painted too. ]

[passetemps]

It is less a matter of the type of feathers on the bird than of the level of detail in the construction.

Though I agree that would be an interesting one.

[diabolizes]

Ah, I see. It might be fun to attempt layers on birds with certain feather patterns... more detail, right?

[ That's immediately where his brain goes. ]

What specific birds do you have in mind in terms of complexity?
