summer vacation in the mgcu
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.

[Hey, hey, hey. Here's.......a clown? Dressed in a a flowing yukata, hair shorter than usual. They're poring the wares of the farmers market, smiling lightly as they pick out a few fruits. Look over at them, and...whoah! Suddenly flowers bloom over their shoulders, staring with visible eyes.]
Ahaha! [They laugh, grinning with sharp teeth.] Do not pay them any mind. They mean no harm...as long as you keep up your guard. They may simply bloom where you stand, and we can't have that, mm?
[Suspicious...]
summer douman...2!!
[And here's Douman in yet...another look? They're lounging on the beach, stretching out lazily, almost like a cat would. A giant 7'2" musclebound cat.]
Ahh...what a pleasant feeling. Truly, there's nothing like it.
[Later, they can be seen going right into the ocean and. Bringing back a fish between their teeth. Huh. Clown behavior!]
summer douman..........3!!!
[How many damn outfits can one (two?) clowns have. This Douman seems to be simply watching everyone else, though, but their eyes are a little starry as they catch the sight of the fireworks, smiling a little to themself.]
Like flowers in the sky. Truly a time to remember. [...] I do hope that it...doesn't portend anything bad. What a pleasant place this is...
[ooc: 1 and 2 are limbo, 3 is douman HAVE FUN]
3!!
[shi qingxuan just takes a seat next to them with absolutely no warning, sipping at a tropical drink.
whassup!]
no subject
[A bow of the head, and a small smile, obviously warm.]
That's a good question, mm. Things that are beautiful can belie something far more insidious. Like a plant with pretty colors that entrap insects to devour them...and I-I admit, I am still a little concerned that this may only be the start of...well. Something similar to what we went through.
no subject
[she returns the smile before taking another sip of the drink.]
...I would certainly hope that's not the case. At any rate, we have a ticket home already, so... time will tell, won't it? And in the meantime, at least we aren't facing this alone.
no subject
[A slight flush of the cheeks, but its luckily dark enough to hide, they think.]
This is true. What good fortune it is, to have allies abound, but...I wouldn't ever wish for bad things to happen to the ones I care for. I'd rather those like you to be home, away from such things...
no subject
[she pouts, deliberately overdramatic.]
no subject
[Mmmm.]
I suppose not...
no subject
[somewhere else on the island, limbo sneezes, probably.]
Have you been having a good time?
no subject
[Fret fret worry worry :( (limbo sneezing)]
Ah, yes. Despite my concerns...it is a rather nice place. There's so much to do. And you, Qingxuan?
no subject
[she is all smiles!]
I've been having a great time. Did you see that merchant in the plaza earlier, with the clothes? She gives out different themes and you have to dress up to match. It was a fun challenge!
no subject
[They huff at that, but they smile, lightly.]
Is that so? Do tell, what the great Qingxuan dressed as. Did you win that challenge?
no subject
[if nothing is lurking in the shadows, and no dead bodies turn up on this island, they're fine.]
Hmm, how did she phrase it...? "Show me your very best goth outfit! Think... dark and moody!" Well, that's not how I normally dress, but ahaha... I managed it well enough. So she gave me these as a prize!
[qingxuan pulls a pair of designer sunglasses from her sleeve.]
no subject
[They clap, impressed.]
Put them on, put them on!
no subject
😎 ]
Well? What do you think?
no subject
Oh! Most elegant, Qingxuan!
[More clapping!!]
no subject
...puts them right on douman!]
They suit you nicely, too!
no subject
Ah-
[That surprises them, and flustered, they raise a hand to adjust them, cheeks a little pink.]
You really think so?
no subject
[(animal crossing flowers)]
no subject
[LOOKING AWAY THEY'RE TOO FLATTERED]
no subject
[she links arms with them. overhead, another firework goes off, lighting up the night sky.]
...ahaha, but I suppose they're not the best for seeing the sights this time of night...
