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. ))

I've never used a phone before arriving here.

[plunges]

[ This is coming from the back of the group, all of a sudden. Also the verbiage is different but you get the idea... ]

[townmusician]

Xiao-san…

[Taking a drink, obviously.]

You join and this is what you pick?

[Was he quietly hoping they could find some common ground? Maybe. Maybe!! He likes Xiao… A little bit…]

[plunges]

What? Am I doing something wrong?

[ SORRY HARUKA ]

[townmusician]

N-no! There's nothing wrong with it at all!

[XIAO!!!]

Just... I don't know, it seems a bit obvious... N-not that that makes it a bad choice!!

[plunges]

I thought the objective was to get as many people as possible.

[townmusician]

[Well. He did say that.]

That's true... Well, I guess you did do better then some other people...

[Nobody's going to talk about their dead moms over phones, right?]

[plunges]

[ Let's hope not!! ]

...I did?

[townmusician]

Well, yeah. You're not like those who decided to just target one person specifically? You're actually playing along and not just being petty.

[immortalpoet]

[A sip.]

Never owned one?

[plunges]

I had never heard of one, period.

[immortalpoet]

How do you contact others from far away, where you come from?

[plunges]

Letters.

[ tech in genshin

closes my eyes ]

Is that not something you do where you're from?

[immortalpoet]

No, we do letters. Phones send messages faster, that's all.

[plunges]

Hm. So they do.

[ the more you know!! ]

Teyvat does not have this sort of technology, though there are other devices that I haven't tampered with, such as the Kamera.

[ ...the camera. ]

[immortalpoet]

...It's a useful thing. You can make pictures. Saves you from painting them.

[Yes, he's saying that dryly.]

[finalforte]

Huh? Were you even playing?

[plunges]

I am now.

[ SURPRISE ]

[finalforte]

Not fair!

[plunges]

Am I not allowed to join in?

[ IS HE TOO LATE, KANON ]

[finalforte]

[JIIIII.]

...Were you drinking?

[solutionary]

[Oh, a good one! Or at least one Baizhu doesn’t need to drink for]

[passetemps]

[ not drinking, but that may not be a surprise. ]

[chosenwang]

[ Taking a drink. ]

[gluttoning]

[well, that explains "E".

Time to chug his own drink.]

It'll get easier with practice. Don't worry about it too much.
