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. ))

[GLANCING AT HIM]

[:|]

[>:|]

Why should I do that.

[mysticpowerbroker]

A good question!

[ Sticking a single finger out as he says this, though he does bring it back to himself as he does at least begin to look thoughtful. ]

I think it'll be nice to have a reliable minder around or two, you know? You seem like a responsible kind of man. Am I wrong?

[ Beaming at him. As if that is actually his true intention (they do apparently already have one but if he can rope in Vergilius, maybe he will get roped into shenanigary too!) ]

[immortalpoet]

Do you just want a cat herder? My services don't come free even for that.

[He folds his arm, looking at Merlin expectantly.]

[mysticpowerbroker]

Are you someone who likes entertainment? I can provide payment with that.

Though, I'm thinking it wouldn't be too bad if you also joined in on the festivities just a little~?

[ Merlin is fully prepared to launch into convince mode for party shenanigans. Join them!! ]

[immortalpoet]

I don't.

[NO!! FUN!!! ALLOWED!!! except when he's a bully, apparently.]

It seems frivolous. I don't see the point.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Wow, this guy really needs to relax.

Merlin wonders if he ever has gone on a real vacay in a day in his life... ]

But isn't it good to know your fellow folks for...informational purposes, or something like that?

[immortalpoet]

[........................A shrug. And no, no vacation for him.]

I suppose, yes.

[mysticpowerbroker]

Excellent~! I knew you'd come around!

[ Merlin never changes but he will also count that as a win. He's gotten 2/2! ]

Incidentally, what do you like to do for fun, anyway?

[immortalpoet]

[LOOKING AT HIM AS IF HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT FUN MEANS]

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Does this mean that Merlin has to teach him Fun. ]

Why are you looking at me like that?

Don't tell me...you can't come up with anything?

[immortalpoet]

Maybe bullying you? I think I can add that as a possibility.

[mysticpowerbroker]

Wahhh! Don't be so cruel to me!

I'm a gentle flower, you know?

[ Merlin makes big eyes, looking a bit more sparkly than usual (if he does it's just magical effects, though.)

Anyway, he would be fine. ]

[immortalpoet]

[A LONG STARE...]

I'm definitely adding it to my schedule.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ THIS IS HIS LIFE NOW?? ]

Eh?! How could you do this to me?? Poor little me!

[immortalpoet]

The more you say "poor little me", the more it happens, you know.

[mysticpowerbroker]

Says who?!

[ lmao ]

[immortalpoet]

Me.
