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. ))

Not yet. The gown I arrived in wasn't very good for swimming, I think...

[ Even assuming one was good at swimming. If Magolor is still in the robe ensemble, that's definitely getting a slow blink. ]

Have you been already?

[microtransactions]

Yes, of course?

[ he is absolutely in the full robe ensemble still, looking completely unbothered. he does tilt his head at her statement and slow blink for a moment before realization appears to dawn on him. ]

Oh, but not here, no! Just back where I come from.

[chrysaline]

[ Oh thank goodness. He really looks like he would sink in that. Unless all the robes buoyed him up like a balloon... She's trying very hard not to let her thoughts drift too far on this tangent. ]

Oh! That explains it. I thought that didn't look much easier to swim in than my clothes did. It isn't too warm for you like that?

[microtransactions]

[ when they find psyche and magolor in the swimming pool, they'll know what did them in, huh...

regarding the heat, though: ]

Me? Oh, I'm used to a volcanic climate! So I'm fine, this is positively breezy in comparison!

[chrysaline]

[ world's easiest double murder potential

blissfully safe from this revelation, Psyche's eyes widen for a much more benign reason. ]

I see... I didn't realize it would be so hot near volcanoes. It makes sense, doesn't it?

[microtransactions]

Active ones? It sure does. Not just the heat either - there's a whole bunch of things that you have to watch out for when you hang around volcanoes for too long.

[ poisonous gases! vents of hot steam! not tripping and falling into lava! all those fun things. ]

[chrysaline]

[ The lava is what she's picturing. Or the constant knowledge that a volcano could explode if it's active. Hm. ]

But you like living there?

[microtransactions]

[ what if the volcano is just in a state of constant exploding. always active lava flows! ]

Oh, I think there's been a bit of a misunderstanding? I don't live there anymore. I mean, there was a lot to discover there! And I did spend a pretty long time there.

But like it says on the profiles, I'm a traveler these days!
