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. ))

I suppose that there's a limit to what sort of knowledge can be obtained or put into them?

It might as well be forbidden information~

[gluttoning]

[???]

Why would someone's age be forbidden?

Do you not have one?

[mysticpowerbroker]

Those are good questions.

[lmao]

Maybe it's more like my age can't be put into conventional numbers? Think of it as a fun little mystery! That doesn't necessarily need any solving.

[gluttoning]

[Sir you are reminding him way too much of Solomon.]

...

Thinking about this is just making me hungry.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Surely a good thing. ]

I'm not surprised! Trying to figure things out can make someone work up an appetite.

[ Especially Beel in particular, who seems to be all about food. But, it is nice to see people coming together. It'll help interject hope into the situation. ]

I don't think anyone's going to be bothered if you take a snack break or something, though.

[gluttoning]

[He considers it a moment.]

I can wait. But thanks. Temenos had that table set up, so that should last me another fifteen minutes.

[...

He squints slightly at Merlin for a moment, as though thinking. But it's gone as fast as it comes.]

It doesn't sound like a lot of people are wanting to open up. I guess you can't blame them.

[mysticpowerbroker]

We've a lot to thank Temenos for, it seems.

[ Taking initiative is always good.

As for the squint, he notices, but doesn't comment on it. He's used to people squinting in his general direction, intentional or not! ]

Oh yes, it's only natural people wouldn't want to reveal too much. I can't blame them either. Still...most also decided to come to the meeting and try to join in the discussion.

People are still committed to trying to work together, for various motivations and reasons. That's a good a sign as any.

[dupiety]

[Speak of the devil, Temenos has been eavesdropping...]

Indeed. There is hope for our flock yet.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Good of you to join in on the conversation, Temenos! Merlin will welcome him with a little wave, hi-ho~ ]

Were you having some doubts for a little while~?

[ Not that he'll be entirely surprised. He's heard the initial responses weren't exactly promising... ]
