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. ))

They're all so beautiful, but I am positively intrigued by the swan! It looks so delicate.

[ She'll gladly take a seat here. This is honestly more her speed than party games, though she can appreciate the novelty of those. ]

[passetemps]

A fine choice.

Whatever you choose to make, you always begin with a perfectly square paper, so these napkins are rather convenient in that regard.

[ orientating his napkin appropriately and lifting the corner to illustrate... ]

Now, you'll want the open points to be in the upper right to start off.

[ Lacus is very precise at following instructions. Her folds are incredibly orderly, she's got that good Genetically Enhanced Hand-Eye-Coordination going for her. ]

Like so...?

[ Haro is rolling over the table next to their work, but has the good sense to not get in the way. ]

Have you been doing this type of thing for a while?

[passetemps]

[ looks over and nods. ]

Yes, like that.

[ folding from the bottom right to top left to make a crease and then opening back up... i'm not going to write out all these steps but please assume he is showing her how to do all this ]

This is a relatively new pursuit for me. It is an art form unique to my colleague's homeland, which he introduced to me... though it is not one he actually has much interest in himself.

[ he shakes his head, though he looks a little bit fond. ]

He can never sit still for very long.

[idologue]

[ Lacus follows along with even the more complicated steps easily enough, so it's no problem for them to chat while she copies him bit by bit. ]

The art of paperfolding exists in my world as well, I've just never had much of a reason to lean it. I'm happy to rectify this..

[ And with a glance up at Zelkov: ] Even though he's the impatient type, he taught you. That's quite sweet.

[passetemps]

I see... it is most interesting to see how many things exist in more than one world.

[ wondering now as he folds if each world has their own special technique... and what new crafting methods might be out there that don't yet exist in his own. ]

He mentioned it offhand before, but he only agreed to give me instruction in the subject as a concession after he lost to me in a sparring match. That is often the only way to get him to do anything, as much as I personally dislike it.

[ kagetsu really is his opposite in a lot of ways. ]

...But yes, he is a kind and earnest person, excessive energy aside.
