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. ))

un: starfarer

[microtransactions]

Hey, while we're all doing this getting to know each other thing, why don't we have people explain why they picked the username they did?

Folks who used their own name as their handle need not apply. ~★

un: temenos

[dupiety]

Drat. And here I had wanted to make a tongue-in-cheek comment.

[microtransactions]

About how everyone would forget who they were talking to otherwise, or?

Tell you what, I'll pretend I didn't say that. By all means, glib comment away, my dude.

un: songofpeace

[idologue]

It's something my concerts used to be branded with back when I was still active as an idol.

[ This isn't anywhere close to the full truth of what it means to her, but this is what you're getting. ]

[microtransactions]

Hopefully not because anyone was actually at war, and just because your singing voice was just that clear and soothing, right?

un: killingtime

[passetemps]

My *philosophy* toward life is that I would prefer to keep myself busy so that I am killing time rather than letting it kill me.

Unfortunately I selected this name *before* the announcement about what we would all be expected to do here, unaware of the *unseemly* irony that would eventually be attached to it.

I would ask that you please not get the wrong idea.

[microtransactions]

Ouch, bad luck. Wouldn't dream of it, though! And hey, at least you have this explanation out in the open now?

un: mm

[mysticpowerbroker]

M stands for Merlin~

un: psyche

[chrysaline]

What does the second M stand for?

[microtransactions]

Huh, I guess it's a good thing I didn't have the same idea. Else now I'd be saying that one of us has to change.

[ M is for ... ]

[immortalpoet]

its my title

[microtransactions]

Simple, straight, to the point! I like it! A straight shooter as always, Mr. Vergy. ＼(￣▽￣)／

un: bishopkallamar

[hearnoplague]

I was wondering why half of these "user names" did not match their actual name. What is the purpose of them, and why do people choose such strange names if everyone knows who they really are?

[microtransactions]

Ah! Let me explain to you with a question of my own, then! ◢(0◡˂̵ ✧)◣

So, what would you have picked if there was already someone else here who picked the name 'bishopkallamar'? And no, you can't both be bishopkallamar.

un: ironlotus

[felame]

[ everyone out here with a shitpost and— ]

A lotus is a symbol of rebirth and resilience. Iron is... a personal joke, perhaps. It's been used as a reference to myself in the past by others.

It's merely an unimportant display of the resolve I would like to show; the path I have chosen above all else.

[ chill ]

And Xiao was taken.

[ she's joking (?) ]

[idologue]

That's beautiful reasoning. I like the juxtaposition of the metal with the fragile flower - it makes it seem contradictory, yet strong and beautiful.

[passetemps]

I also appreciate both the striking visual the name conjures up and the *thought* behind it.

un: Beelzeburger

[gluttoning]

I like burgers.

This is the username I use on my other devices, too. I don't want to remember more than one.

un: lapetitprince

[finalmix]

dunno, heard it from somewhere

[ aka overheard it from a reaper and thought it was Funny ]

un: patriarch

[diabolizes]

part of my title: yiling patriarch

i don't think the title fits me, but it's a fun username

un: Tenkuuzakura

[dancing_flames]

It's the name of my sword. Which is currently missing, by the way.

If anyone finds a katana with a red wave pattern on the scabbard, it's mine. I'd appreciate it if you'd return it to me.

... and don't mess with it.

un: makuracover

[dakicover]

It's my codename!

un: taugether

[divector]

puns based off my home because why not

un: WORMWITHPROBLEMS

[stilllovesyou]

It's what my friend Camilla said I look like when I am putting a shirt on. Being the worm with problems doesn't bother me.

un: themaincharacter

[chosenwang]

Something of an inside joke.
What about yours? Are you a traveler of sorts?
