WEEK ONE

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:

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. ))

[Hahahahaha yikes. Tough crowd.

She gestures delicately with her hands as she speaks, finally lacing all of her fingers together in front of her in polite poise.

I am Waltaquin, of House Redditch. After resigning my position with the Blue Foxes, I was en route across Central Field in search of new occupation.

Central Field is not completely landlocked, but I was nowhere near the sea.

What did you do before you resigned? You don't look of smell like a blue fox.
necrotiem: (you got tired of my scheming)

[personal profile] necrotiem 2023-05-16 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[What...? She takes a moment to comprehend.]

The Blue Foxes are an order of knights mercenary in service of the Kingdom. I was one of their heads.

MY TYPO IN THE LAST TAG im so sorry

Oh. You're a fighter.

[Okay, that makes way more sense.]

Is that what you'd like to keep doing? Using your strength for others?
necrotiem: (it must be exhausting)

DON'T APOLOGIZE i frequently write with half my brain misfiring

[personal profile] necrotiem 2023-05-17 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
No. [Her answer is immediate and almost dismissive, as if she'd never entertained the idea for even a moment.]

I'm not getting caught up in the fate of the world or anything of the sort.
gluttoning: (026)

we ride on one braincell

[personal profile] gluttoning 2023-05-17 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Damn.]

Huh. Well, I guess you did resign.

What would you want to do instead, then?
necrotiem: (they think i left them in the will)

[personal profile] necrotiem 2023-05-18 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. I couldn't be a part of their machinations any longer.

[She talks about the differences in beliefs that led to her leave with casual disgust, as if she knows she's in the right but can't muster any passion for it.]

I intend to pursue my research into ancient sorcery, of course. I'll look for something that can afford me the most resources. Maybe I can play a little with my former allies on the way.
