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. ))

you could have had fake skin over the metal! that’s a thing.

[immortalpoet]

want to pull my skin back and see for yourself

[necrotiem]

You were quite quick to volunteer that.

[Here's where her :eyes: emoji would go, if she knew how to use one.]

[mysticpowerbroker]

What is going on in this conversation??

[necrotiem]

Degloving, from the sounds of it. Possibly?

[microtransactions]

Is that what they call it around here ..

[necrotiem]

Well, there's more than one way to skin a cat, as it were.

[immortalpoet]

can't you all take a hint a sarcasm or can you not fit it in the empty spaces you call heads

none of you would survive 0.10 seconds of backstreets black humor

[necrotiem]

Don't be cross with me! I just chose the reading of your comment I found the most entertaining.

[This might also imply that for it to actually be humorous she would have needed to also find it funny, but...]

[immortalpoet]

and how was that entertaining exactly

[necrotiem]

[SHE WANTED TO SEE THE GRAPE PEELING OBVIOUSLY?]

Proposing violent bloodshed is just that much more interesting than tepid denial.

It was also very effective. People will focus on that instead of further personal questions.

[immortalpoet]

[WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU]

if you liked it that much you should take a leisurely visit back where i come from. you'd have yourself a blast

i'm used to cutting down conversations. call me an expert

[necrotiem]

[Absolutely nothing; she is working completely as intended.]

Hahaha. That's really your style of humor.

Just out of curiosity, we WOULD just find flesh and bone wouldn't we?

[immortalpoet]

[SQUINTING]

not necessarily. close to it.

[necrotiem]

Oh, don't be a tease!

[immortalpoet]

i'll be a tease all i want, thank you

[townmusician]

vergilius-san why are you like this

[immortalpoet]

i was messing with you. but i guess i now know you'll have a fit over anything and everything apparently

[townmusician]

vergilius-san, i don’t mean to offend you… but the first thing i saw you do was attack a robot just for existing

i don’t know that you wouldn’t be serious about gruesome gore just to prove a point because it seems like you have violent inclinations and a temper

[immortalpoet]

i'm a fixer. "gruesome gore" is every other fixer's middle name

if you're THAT worried.................i'm not going to kill you simply for being extremely annoying

[townmusician]

not many people here will know what that means, vergilius-san

to me it just kind of makes you sound like a handyman

and i’ll try not to be too relieved over that because it still means you’ll kill me over something else

[immortalpoet]

technically fixers are handymen. just not for machines. for problems.

how bad of a person do you think you are where you assume you'll get killed for it

[townmusician]

problems is so vague!! there’d be less confusion if you weren’t so vague all the time!!!

i don’t know what your limits are either!!

remember the robot? because i remember the robot

[immortalpoet]

i have no obligation to explain things to anyone.

and? are you a robot? or are you a human being who keeps shaking in his own skin? stop feeling scared and grow a spine. with an attitude like that, lesser people where i come from would rip you apart in a heartbeat

[townmusician]

then i guess it’s a good thing i’m not from where you are and all i need to worry about my career and the idiots here

and also lobelia-san

[He gets a -san which, yes, means he’s afraid of Lobelia, but not necessarily because of murder reasons.]
