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. ))

potential spoilers for baizhu story quest

[plunges]

[ Well, after some time, he decides there's no use being cagey about this: ]

Prior to arriving here, I was departing from a conversation that I had with two others: a traveler, and Doctor Baizhu.

We are from the same world.

[ That might be useful information. ]

[solutionary]

We must have been brought fairly close to each other then, because I spoke to you just a few hours before. The traveler and I had returned to Bubu Pharmacy to finish the treatment.

[plunges]

...I see. I hope it went as well as you expected.

[ And he'll get a nod of acknowledgement. ]

[dupiety]

Oh? So some of us did know each other prior to this.

I was mildly concerned to discover that none of my traveling party awoke with me, given our close proximity at the time. We'd just set up camp for the night.

[plunges]

[ A nod, then: ]

I have not seen anyone else from Teyvat here, for what it's worth. I doubt you are the only one who is the sole person from your world here.

[dupiety]

Indeed. It seems you and Mr. Baizhu are in the minority as far as knowing one another prior to this goes. I would be interested in learning if that was intentional on our captors' part...

[plunges]

I have trouble believing otherwise. I get the impression that most of what they've done so far is very much intentional.

[dancing_flames]

He's not. There's no one else here from my world, either.

[plunges]

Then that poses the question of why only some of us were chosen with some familiarity beforehand.
