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. ))

Yes? [She looks at him expectantly.]

Do your kind tell stories?

[hearnoplague]

Of course. I'm just thinking of one that can be told in two sentences.

[ Don't rush him. ]

[necrotiem]

[It's two sentences; how hard could it be?

She crosses her arms, albeit not hostilely, and waits ... more or less patiently.]

By all means.

[hearnoplague]

[ Listen, he's trying hard to not make himself look too bad while also summarizing something that could take hours to explain... ]

... Ah. How about this:

You should take care when traveling through the woods. The worm may be hungry again.

[necrotiem]

[She crosses her arms.]

It raises a lot of questions, which in turn makes it frightening. If something happened before, but we don't know exactly what, what can we do but fill in the blanks with our imaginations?

Of course, I'd want to see for myself just what makes this worm so dangerous, hehehe.

[hearnoplague]

[ Smirk. ]

My brother would be happy to hear such praise. I thought of him while I was coming up with that tale.

[necrotiem]

Is your brother the worm or the traveler?

[It's asked innocently enough...after all, she is talking to what appears to her to be a demi-human capable of speech.]

[hearnoplague]

The worm.
