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. ))

That's a good idea, too. Since we have one right there...

[ Might as well at least get the vacation benefits of the murder vacation! ]

It would probably be good to get comfortable with the ocean anyway, wouldn't it? Although it doesn't seem like there's anything else in swimming distance.

[solutionary]

Yes, that’s a good idea. It’s always better to be over prepared than under prepared, and who knows? Those tasks this week might have been for getting to know each other, but next week might be another story.

[chrysaline]

I really can't guess what else they'd assign...

[ Oh! Getting to know each other. She tried to remember all the names from the meeting, but: ]

I'm Psyche. You were... Baizhu, wasn't it?

[solutionary]

Yes, that’s correct. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance Psyche. I wouldn’t be the most helpful in teaching swimming, but if you require any kind of medical aid I would be glad to assist you.

Oh dear me, where are my manners? This [a gesture to his snake companion] is Changsheng.

[chrysaline]

That's right, you were a healer too! Our powers probably don't have much in common, but... maybe I could learn something from you? It's nice to meet you--

[ She's excited, but not too excited for politeness entirely. Changsheng gets a smile and a little nod. ]

--and Changsheng too, of course.
