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. ))

[ Merlin is truly the world's greatest trooper. ]

"Emoticons"? Does that mean the little faces? I found them after seeing the cute one you made! You know all sorts of things, Sir Merlin. Are these devices from your world?

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ He will take a bow and an applause if someone said as much to him. ]

I'll let you in on a little secret:

These devices aren't from my 'world'. Though, I'll admit that they are kind of convenient! I mean, imagine being able to communicate when you're in a pinch. It might turn out to be rather useful~

[chrysaline]

They seem amazing to me. Much more reliable than birds. It's so fast, and the messages never seem to get lost in the middle!

[ Which is what she will assume the first time someone leaves her on read, RIP. But since she has a captive audience who seems to enjoy talking... ]

Do they have other little tricks, like the faces?

[mysticpowerbroker]

Yes, they certainly are convenient like that!

[ Merlin can talk people's ears off so he truly doesn't mind listening and chatting back, especially to someone who seems to enjoy what he's saying. ]

I think these are more somewhat limited compared to other devices, but sometimes you can change the text color too.

[chrysaline]

So some of them can do even more? I see... Thank you for explaining, Merlin!

[ If they have font options she's going pink for the rest of the game, no apologies to anyone else's eyes. ]
