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. ))

01. TASKS.

[ Yeah, okay, he's suspicious of "rewards" but curious enough to see what happens if he completes shit. Mostly because none of it looks that bad, beyond being nice. So, you can find Chuuya with his hard copy of the tasks, and he'll flag you down. ]

Oi. Pick one of the tasks. I want to see what these "rewards" are. [ He doesn't care which they do...so here's your chance to choose before he chooses for you. ]

02. BOUTIQUE.

[ He's...trying to find the least offensive shirt here. It's not going great, so Chuuya looks Annoyed about it. ]

03. BUFFET.

[ Chuuya seems to be eating at scheduled times. Breakfast, lunch, dinner...he did it all weekend, too. Usually grabs Japanese cuisine because he doesn't feel like branching out. He's started drinking a little more in the evenings too. He'll occasionally browse the profiles during meals on Monday, you can ask about his if you really want to. ]

Ooh, ooh, say something nice about Kanon!

[gravitys]

[ WHY THAT ONE - still, he asked for the task assist and he does want to test it out, so he eyes her, racking his brain. They've only had one conversation, but that's true of most people here. ]

You've got a good sense of style and you seem pretty strong mentally. [ After all...if you can complain and joke around when kidnapped, you're no wilting flower. ]

[finalforte]

[Basking in the praise.]

Hyaha ♪

[This girl is so easy.]

[gravitys]

You aren't interested in the reward yourself?

[ Like, if she just wants praise, that's fair though. ]

[finalforte]

Maybe if it was like, good. But the tasks aren't too hard...

[gravitys]

Maybe they get harder each week?

[finalforte]

Ugh, Kanon doesn't want to be here for weeks.

[gravitys]

Yeah, it ain't my idea of a vacation either.

[necrotiem]

What seems to be the trouble?

[Waltaquin's most certainly not dressed for this kind of weather, thick skirts and long-sleeved jacket at all. She seems to be here looking for her own change of clothes - or at least something that will save her from heat stroke.]

Nothing strike your fancy?

[gravitys]

It's all pretty brightly colored.

[ He prefers neutrals or like...SOLIDS... ]

[necrotiem]

[She nods.] The better to fit in with our surroundings. It'd be hard to produce these dyes naturally, so I thought it was all finely made...

[As she pulls a t-shirt by its sleeve and rubs her fingers to the fabric, however, it tells a different story.] It feels quite cheap, actually.

[gravitys]

That's pretty usual for gift shop level stuff. [ Unfortunately... ] I usually get my shit from tailors and whatever, so it's a huge step down.

Tasks

[hearnoplague]

[ Thank you for saving him from the pesky robots, Chuuya. He had papers shoved at him as well. ]

Very well. I've been wondering about the distinction between "common" and "rare" rewards anyway.

[gravitys]

Same. There one you're particularly feelin', or?

[hearnoplague]

... The rare one might be more useful...

[ He looks at Chuuya... ] Though I can see why that one may be rare. I barely just met you all.

[gravitys]

The bein' nice one?
