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. ))

I am utterly charmed as always, Lobelia.

[mhm.]

Pardon my curiosity, but did you say a skyfaring vessel? I suppose I shouldn't be all that surprised given the talk of starfaring, but this one actually sounds plausible in my own realm.

As you should be, Monsieur Mistral!

[The feeling is clearly mutual.]

Oui, you heard correctly! Traveling throughout the Skydom would be nigh impossible without a ship at your disposal.

[I love the energy of ":) (derogatory)" going on between them.]

Am I to assume your oceans are the skies themselves...?

[It's beautiful, bless whatever they have going on here.]

To assume that would make you quite borné! Non, mine is a world with oceans as vast and as broad as the sky itself. We don't confine ourselves to a single method of travel.

[Temenos later: bitch, but also fair]

It sounds like quite a realm. Air travel has yet to reach Solistia, but ships are necessary to travel between the east and west continents by sea. I imagine there would be less obstacles to deal with in the skies...monsters in particular.

Your estimation is fair, but it is also incorrect! The sky is no less rife with difficulté than the earth and sea. One has to be strong if they wish to survive in a world like mine.

[Lobelia chuckles, his glee almost childlike.]

You must be prepared to defend yourself at all costs. Tell me, are you useful in a fight?
