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. ))

It is called origami. The art of folding paper.

[immortalpoet]

One of your many endless hobbies?

Where did you even learn stuff like this?

[passetemps]

This particular one was introduced to me by Princess Ivy's other retainer. It comes from his homeland.

[immortalpoet]

I see.

[He tilts his head to look at the other's creations so far.]

How many have you made?

[passetemps]

Here, or in all?

[immortalpoet]

...Give me both. Why not.

[passetemps]

I have made eight so far tonight, though I gave one of them away.

In my own world, I imagine I have made more than one hundred — excluding the discarded experimental attempts, but including repeats made simply for practice.

[ everyone on the somniel probably has at least one origami creation in their room. ]

[immortalpoet]

...That's a lot.

[He seems to think about it for a moment.]

Why do you make them? Just for self pleasure?

[passetemps]

It is a way of killing time. I prefer those through which I can create something, so that at the end of a project I have something to show for it — though it is the process I value more than the result.
