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. ))

[Wait, hold on a second, what the hell is this? He’s take aback by Wei Wuxian’s words for a moment, because…

It’s not something he’s heard, a lot. Any praise he gets is usually over his voice and ability to perform, not… who he is as a person. His only value has ever been his voice.

But… it’s too strange that even though he finds himself touched, he still can’t… buy it completely.]

Is… this just because of that task for this week?

[diabolizes]

[ Ah, so he got caught. ]

Did I say it because of the task? Yes. But it’s true anyway. I’m not going to lie for some task.

[ He knows Haruka is sensitive, so Wei Wuxian isn’t going to risk hurting his feelings by lying. ]

[townmusician]

[Haruka is observant!! He can pick up on some things!!

Still, he's not sure if the confirmation makes him feel better or worse. He doesn't want to doubt Wei Wuxian's sincerity, not after the conversations he's had...

But it's difficult not to, with the experiences he's had.]

...I see.

[...]

Thank you, Wei Wuxian-san. I...

[What does he say in response!! He's no good at these kinds of things!!]

[diabolizes]

Ah, Haruka... stop right there. There is no need to thank me for saying that I consider you a friend.

[ It honestly makes him feel kind of bad for Haruka. Has he heard compliments to few times that he becomes stunned by them? ]

[townmusician]

[looks into the middle distance…]

I-I didn’t mean it like that…

[Though… that is basically what he did.]

[diabolizes]

Oh? Then in that case... no need to thank me for a compliment either. What would make me happiest is you accepting it.

[ He's put real effort into those words!! ]

[townmusician]

[Huff puff...]

Okay, okay. I'll accept it, then.

[A pause.]

I'm not saying this for the task, either, and I basically already told you this but... You're kinder then you think, aren't you? I think we'd even be friends if we met somewhere else.

[diabolizes]

[ Ah… kind words. It takes Wei Wuxian a moment to recover, but he smiles nevertheless. ]

I simply do what I think is right.

[ And that isn’t always necessarily the kind thing. ]

I’d like to think so as well, though we would more likely be friends if we met back in your world.

[townmusician]

Well, you could have decided the right thing was to not give me the time of day and take care of yourself alone.

[So he’d say that’s pretty kind!]

Probably. I don’t think I’m cut out for the world you’re from.

[diabolizes]

[ Ugh don't be so sappy, Haruka!!! ]

I wouldn't say that necessarily. You could make a good cultivator. You have the tenacity for it... it just depends on your natural aptitude for developing a golden core.
