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. ))

[Beelzebub stays pretty much glued to the food table until everything's nearly run out. It doesn't take long, and he looks a little disappointed. But at least he's still here, and with a question for the group to boot.]

Hey. Did anyone else have parts of your network profile filled in automatically?

[conchy]

Oui, and it was accurate to boot. How do you suppose our captors happened upon this information?

[gluttoning]

Raptor said the other day they were the ones that "checked" us when we got here.

Maybe they specifically have something to do with it.

[conchy]

Ah, but they are even well aware of what we're capable of. It's a simple matter to measure one's height and weight, but our capacités are a different story. They must be quite capable themselves!

[idologue]

Accurate, huh...? I'd been wondering, since mine...

[ She trails off for a moment. ]

It's a bit of a surprise, is all.

[gluttoning]

Are parts of yours not right?

[solutionary]

Yes, mine was as well. It isn't especially privileged knowledge on my side-- many people who come to me for help would know most of it, and could potentially guess the rest. Is that not the case with yourself?

[gluttoning]

No, mine's all correct.

I don't know what could be guessed or not. But none of them are things I would claim to be wrong, or would try to hide.

[solutionary]

If none of it is particularly secret, perhaps we have been under surveillance?

[dancing_flames]

Mine certainly isn't any secret to anyone from Demon Card, and I've used my Dark Bring in front of enough people that it's not impossible to believe that someone could have witnessed it in action.

Except for the part where most people don't come out of it alive.

[solutionary]

So yours is unlikely to have been witnessed directly, but not impossible?

[dupiety]

Bravo, Beelzebub, for bringing this up. You're asking very good questions today.

[He means this sincerely.]

Needless to say, my physical statistics and abilities were filled in much like the others. I have to wonder if Raptor did a bit of research into our worlds in addition to taking our measurements. Some of the terminology used in the abilities is rather specific.

On a less important note, I find it amusing that Raptor took the liberty to mention your lack of skill with sewing.

[gluttoning]

Thanks. But you don't need to praise me, Temenos. It's a meeting, not a classroom.

[He just shrugs at the side commentary.]

I don't get why they would. But it's not like it's wrong. I'm not great with delicate work.

[diabolizes]

[ Ah, Temenos brings up a good point, and it's precisely what bothered Wei Wuxian about his own profile. ]

It certainly is specific. I created and thus named all of my abilities, yet I don't remember being asked about them.

[microtransactions]

Most of the terminology is... kind of consistent? At least, when it comes to defining the abilities listed, anyway.

There are a couple of outliers, though.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ A considering hum escapes him at this. ]

Oh yes, absolutely. It's a little strange, but I suppose nothing is impossible...

[gluttoning]

I'm wondering why your age was blocked out. Only a couple profiles had that happen.

[divector]

Yes. Rather funny considering I was asked what a Vector was.

[gluttoning]

By someone here? Or do you mean you were asked back home?

[microtransactions]

Sure did, and I definitely don't remember those sections even being there.

[finalforte]

[Oops! She's just sulking again.]

[gravitys]

Yeah. I didn't put down shit for powers or physical stats.

[ He likes to pretend his height doesn't exist, on occasion. ]

[finalmix]

They only got some of it.

[ frowny face. he doesn't elaborate. ]

[stilllovesyou]

Um, everything on my profile below what I said about being Nona and loving Noodle and my friends and all of you, none of that's true so you can't believe it. I'm a normal girl.

[She's blatantly lying.]

[chosenwang]

[ He's staring at Beel for a moment longer because WHERE DOES THAT FOOD GO.

Oh yeah, profiles... ]

Seems like we all have admirers then. Not very surprising for me, but it's still pretty creepy. [ Just going to shake himself like he has the chills. ] Eeew. People really need to learn to get hobbies.
