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. ))

[He catches that, enough to give Beelzebub a knowing look in return.]

Yes. My faith may have waned somewhat in recent years, but I still remain committed for their sake.

[gluttoning]

Your loyalty is stronger than your piety.

[Oh. Wait, is that an insult? Oh well, it's out of his mouth now.]

I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

[dupiety]

[Temenos certainly isn't offended. It's the truth.]

Thank you for seeing it my way.

[gluttoning]

?

Why thank me for that?

[dupiety]

I've grown far too accustomed to being chastised and reprimanded for such views. This is a breath of fresh air in comparison.

[gluttoning]

And you're fine with where that view is coming from?

[dupiety]

Hm? From a demon, you mean?

[gluttoning]

[He nods.]

Not used to someone from any form of the church thinking like that.

[dupiety]

I suppose I should be concerned that a demon agrees with my thinking, but...

[He shrugs.]

I believe prioritizing faith over logic can be quite dangerous. It may be blasphemy to some, but I've never paid it much mind.

[gluttoning]

...

I don't know about logic, but... Sometimes things are more important than devotion to a god.

I'm glad you feel firm about your choices.

[dupiety]

[With a nod,]

That's a much more eloquent way of putting it.

[gluttoning]

Really?

[He just shrugs, taking another sip of his drink.

Oh wait, this is supposed to be for the game.

Oh well. At least he still looks as sober as a tack.]

I've never been good with words. I just wanted to speak what came to mind.

Thanks for talking about it.

[dupiety]

[Temenos is very close to taking a drink as well, even though he copped out of it.]

And thoughts like those can have just as much, if not more value than carefully delivered ones.

[That's just his two leaves!]

Think nothing of it.
