summer vacation in the mgcu

[guestservices]

You wake to the sound of waves lapping gently against the shore, the wind gently rustling through palm trees, and the cries of seagulls overhead. The scent of sea salt and tropical flowers is in the air. Wander outside or look out the window of the room you have awoken in, and you'll see that you are on a beautiful tropical island.

Good morning, everyone.

The room you've woken up in is decorated exactly to your tastes - it is the sort of home someone might have happily designed for you if perhaps you had commissioned them to make the perfect vacation getaway for you. This is true inside and out - the yard of each house seems to be decorated to each occupant's tastes, too.

Inside your vacation home, easily found, is a brochure advertising a four-day, three night island getaway. Tucked inside the pages are boarding passes from Dodo Airlines with your names on them. One boarding pass, which indicates that you would have landed on the island on Friday morning, has already been marked off as if used; the other, indicating that you will board a plane to leave on Monday evening, is clear.

The brochure includes a map of the island, so don't worry about getting lost! There are beaches, hills, fields of wildflowers, lush fruit orchards, rushing waterfalls, lazily winding rivers, a general store, a tailor's shop, and even a museum with a coffee shop on its premises. The island itself seems to have areas that are created with wildly different aesthetics, too, that all somehow seem to work together as you move from place to place. Fairy forest? Sure! Giant treehouse? Why not? Froggy shrine? You bet. Each of the various themed areas have restaurants and shops that fit their aesthetic, so if you'd like to dine or take home a souvenir, you're more than welcome to.

The following events are listed in the brochure:

FRIDAY
🌸 Beachside Welcome Picnic
In the afternoon, come and join your fellow vacationers for a delicious meal on the beach! Get to know each other and make plans for your vacations! All dietary needs can be accommodated; simply look down at your plate and think of what you would like to eat. For those who cannot be in direct sunlight, check your drawers for a protective sunscreen.

SATURDAY
🌸 The Musical Talents of K.K. Slider
Come to the town plaza in the afternoon to listen to K.K. Slider give a performance! He will also take requests.
🌸 Karaoke Party
In the evening, after K.K. Slider has left, feel free to step up to the mic for a karaoke party!
🌸 Beachside Bonfire and Meteor Shower
After karaoke, gather around the fire for a delicious meal and enjoy the warmth of the bonfire. Make s'mores, tell stories, and relax as you listen to the sound of the waves and watch the shooting stars. Perhaps you'll even make a wish and find a star fragment to take home?

SUNDAY
🌸 Group Yoga
Join your fellow vacationers in the morning for a relaxing yoga session in the plaza!
🌸 Visiting Merchants
In the afternoon, visit the plaza to peruse the wares of Leif and Kicks, and compete in Label's Fashion Challenge! You can also come get your fortune told by Katrina and browse Saharah's selections of wallpapers and flooring.
🌸 Fireworks Display
In the evening, set up anywhere you would like - though the beach has a very nice view - for a fireworks display. Sparklers are also available if you prefer to use them.

MONDAY
🌸 Farewell Ceremony
We've been glad to have you here, but we're sad to see you go! Enjoy one last meal with your new friends and reminisce about the good times you've had together. At the end of the ceremony, you will each be presented with a photo album of the things you've been doing to take with you before you board your plane to go home.

ALL WEEKEND
🌸 Island Excursions
Interested in checking out the other islands? Say no more! Head to the docks on the eastern shore to meet up with Kapp'n, who will treat you to some sea shanties and row you to the nearby islands to explore.
🌸 The Big Bug-Off
Pick up a bug-catching net from the general store and catch bugs to your heart's content! Turn in your catches to Flick for a prize. Whoever has turned in the most bugs prior to departure will be given a grand prize before they leave.
🌸 Fishing Tournament
Pick up a fishing rod from the general store and experience the joys of fishing! Turn in your catches to C.J. for a prize. Whoever has turned in the most fish prior to departure will be given a grand prize before they leave.
🌸 Farmer's Market
In the daytime, check out our stands for our island-fresh produce and local specialties!
🌸 Night Market
In the nighttime, check out our stands for delicacies from all over the worlds. Yes, worlds, plural.

You're here for a vacation, no murder involved. Your way home will come in just a few days. Why not relax and enjoy yourselves, catch up with some old familiar faces, and make some new friends? Summer is nearing its end, after all.

[WHO THE FUCK IS THIS WEIRDO.

Whoever he is, he is apparently just. Content to be chilling in this tree, drinking fruit juice(?) through a straw as noisily as possible. Okay.

Maybe he lives on this island??? (He doesn't.)]

[liuli]

[ slaps you with my slappy hands

this guy's got the right of it. gu yun's down here underneath the tree, and with the noisy noise, he calls up, amused; ] Did you need a refill?

[whatlore]

[I was literally about to respond to this but then Power came out of nowhere and stole his drink so he's just going to flop down and hang over the branch like a rag doll.]

Of what?

[why]

[liuli]

[ help ]

Despair, looks like.

[ gu yun has one of those coconut shells filled with - its probably wine, honestly. he just offers it up where this fool is dangling. ] Drink.

[whatlore]

[Hmmmm. He sticks a finger in his ear and wiggles it a few times.]

Don't suppose you've got anything of the plant-based variety?

[This doesn't make any sense because wine is also plant-based but he means drugs

He is also slowly sliding further off of the branch as they speak. He's going to fall onto the ground.]

[liuli]

[ you ever just make eye contact with someone and think ah yes

a kindred spirit

that's where we are currently. he's going to let this dude fall right off this branch because of course he is, stepping back. ]

I'm not sure that plants of other varieties are the type they'd allow to grow here. Would've wanted the hotel or the station for that sort of indulgence. Alas, your fancy's suited to liquor alone. Unless you counted it as edible?

[whatlore]

[Slide. Sliiiiiiide. He does not appear to mind not being rescued.]

The where or the what?

[He is hanging on by his knees now. His robes, which are definitely wrinkled like they were carelessly thrown on the floor after they were washed, have flipped upside down. Thankfully, he is wearing pants.]

[liuli]

Falling out of the tree like that, shouldn't you be asking who?


[


bad ]

[whatlore]

Huh?

[Oh there he goes. Google flip-a-coin says there was a bush directly under this branch that he has now fallen into. This is his home now.]

[liuli]

Copycat. That's my trick.

[ gu yun sounds incredibly amused. he lets this man fall into the bush with zero help at all but he does come and lean over to peer into it, hands on his hips. ]

You must be terribly unlucky, bush brother, to be dragged along to this place without any prior experience. How ominous.

[whatlore]

Eh, I've woken up in worse places.

[So sayeth the bush. Wouldn't it be funny if I just never brought him to a murdergame and they just kept meeting on glocksuke memes

Anyway, this weirdo apparently seems unfazed by his harsh landing and rolls over out of the bush, scratching the back of his head. If a couple of twigs fall out of his hair without him touching them, well--it's probably just the breeze.]

Not quite sure what the party's for, though. It's too early for the Summer Festival, isn't it?

[liuli]

[ star crossed annoyances

anyway we know if we play them together ever we'll just predict the plot of our next mg and it will be terrible. maybe it will be an island.

once again, gu yun is just letting this happen? he seems deeply amused by this guy's everything, putting his hands on his hips. ]

Don't you know it's your birthday? That must be it.

[whatlore]

[HELP WHAT IF IT REALLY IS AN ISLANDJHKGHKH

He slaps his hands to his face, looking delighted]

Ah! You shouldn't have! [STOP]

[liuli]

Congratulations!

[ he claps his hands! ]

What are you, ten thousand?

[whatlore]

[He frowns, pulling some of his hair forward to squint at it]

I haven't gone gray that quickly, have I?

[his hair is white]

[liuli]

I'm afraid you've gone all the way to white.

[ amused ] It's not bad, not bad! No wrinkles, at least.

[powerplay]

[ Yeah who IS that?

Anyway, you will not know peace. There is this girl coming over and she is literally running up to him and then going to snatch that drink out of his hands. ]

[whatlore]

[just some guy

who now has no drink!]

Well that was rude.

[There is no liquid left in this bottle. He's just been making noise with a straw.]

[powerplay]

What is rude is you, because this drink is mine.

[ And just downing it like it's a goddamn shot glass right in front of his eyes. She dares look at him directly in said eyes as she does this. ]

[whatlore]

[I hope she enjoyed her delicious mouthful of air

He points rudely helpfully at her nose]

You've got some right there!

[powerplay]

[ She loves air.



She looks at him and pulls his finger. ]

[whatlore]

[farting noise]

[powerplay]

[ She bursts into overjoyed laughter that shows she is finding way too much amusement about this even though it's 2022. ]

You know how to read the room, white hair!
