WEEK ZERO

▽ FULL NAVIGATION ▽ LOCATIONS ▽ STATUSES ▽ IC PROFILES ▽ IC RULEBOOK ▽ MURDER PROPOSALS ▽ PCS ▽ CURFEW ▽ AUDIENCES ▽ CAMP STORE ▽ REPORTING

Rise and shine, everyone! At 7:00 AM on the dot, those who are asleep will be roused from their slumber by the sound of a bugle call. It seems that breakfast is now served in the Mess Hall. How nice! It's up to you to decide if you want to continue sleeping or not... But maybe it's a good idea to grab a bite and explore your surroundings. After all, it looks like you'll be here for a little while. Regardless of what you do, be sure to check the weather before stepping outside. You never know when you might need an umbrella! Once you're up and at them, though, there are a few points of interest this week. If you swing by the Director's Office, you will find Black Shadows manning the receptionist's desk or flitting in and out of the rooms down the hallway. This week's tasks are now available, and you can check them out on the announcement board in the waiting room. Should you visit the Camp Shop, Purple Heart will be handling all transactions at the checkout counter. Even camp directors hold down normal jobs, you know. Strangely enough, Winter Wizard doesn't seem to be stationed at any set location. Maybe it's their week off? Oh, well. Seems like if you want to get ahold of them, you'll have to pay your respects to the bunnies. Finally, though all seems normal at first glance... You will quickly realize something is wrong the moment you start interacting with other people. Or, more specifically, once you come in physical contact with them. For the rest of the week, anyone who makes skin-to-skin (or whatever counts as skin, for the non-humans) contact with someone else will find themselves in a bit of a sticky situation. Whatever body parts touched will be stuck together for the next hour, with no way to separate them. Try not to create additional points of contact while trying to cheat your way out of this situation, yeah? That would be unpleasant, for each spot will last an entire hour. Good luck.

[ He does his best to look pleasant, but it comes off a little amused. Right, the dimensionally disastrous kitchen... ]

It does feel a little hopelessly messy, doesn't it? I'm happy to clean while you're using the kitchen, if that would be of any help.

[axilium]

Sure, I guess, since I think you're probably in desperate need of the help.

[concasse]

Nah -- [immediately waving his hand to dismiss the offer] Mo offense, but I'm so tired of sharing my kitchen right now.

[it is not "his kitchen" but he speaks like it is. Too many chefs in one game.]

[okitactless]

An island?

[GIVE HIM A SECOND but I'm pretty sure he hasn't spoken to anyone about murder islands yet?? So.]

What did you have to do there?

[shortforever]

[He may have been going in to see those bunnies for a reason, you never know. But when he sees Ash there, he stops in his tracks. And he has to bite his lip to keep a straight face.]

Having trouble?

[He says it quietly to not startle the bunny, but yeah. He's totally having a laugh at Ash's expense.]

[preowned]

[ he nods! excitedly! ]

Of course. I'll follow your lead.

[shortforever]

That sounds pretty neat. Why were you in the magic bubble?

[Teach him the ways of Tabletop Things.]

[axilium]

[smile!

yea he definitely is]

[recrypt]

[ please see title of prompt: sanji wept ]

Oh, no, it was like that for us too. We'd lose our senses for a week with no warning and then have them back the next once the monster that it was tied to was taken care of.

[ me trying to remember the mechanics of the game we were just in ]

But my, that's very generous of you, Herr Sanji! I'll be sure to remember that whenever I need your aid. ♪

[overruns]

[ WELL he definitely deserves that one. Sorry, dad. ]

Oh—sorry! [ Consider him scolded. He does look pretty genuinely guilty, eyebrows knit together. ] I mean, my apologies... Do you think she heard?

[slobjection]

[ silly beau. ]

... Good. I expect nothing else. I'm sure there'll be opportunities to get rowdy later.

[slobjection]

Ever done it before?

[ he's doomed ]

[axilium]

[belph's fork pauses midair.]

N... o...?

[slobjection]

It aches....

[ maybe both? ]

[recrypt]

... The bulletin board wants to play it coy, apparently.

[ someone's crystal pendant. ]

There's no way for any of us to tell.

[machinetranslation]

I assume you're referring to whatever frightful ordeal you went through prior to being transported here? It seems that everyone was rescued from some truly terrible situations.

[He perks up, his voice, which had been getting a bit doomy, chipper once again]

Not to worry, though, sir! It sounds like you'll be able to return to your citadel very soon.

[slobjection]

[ francy: he won't offer tsuru as a nickname ]
[ two tags later: call me tsuru ]

Tsuru..... I like it.

You can call me Nick, if you want.

[overruns]

Right, I'd heard of the house as well...

[ blissfully he doesn't know what vore is, so he can swiftly go back to: ]

You intend to circle around for another group? Is that even possible?

[slobjection]

Nailed it.

[ no phoenix facts only backstory grilling. ]

So what are those other two all about?

[wisterin]

[ Shinobu's nose looks a little broken. Wow, can't imagine how that happened? ]

I removed mine, and I didn't see a knife at all.

[ She sounds a little put out, but she's smiling. ]

Similarly, my reflexes couldn't save me from my injury.

[recrypt]

No. Just the ones like us.

[ you know, the disposable ones who don't get names so they're easier to not get attached to. ]

[slobjection]

Four that we know of. Probably more, with this lot.

[slobjection]

What injured you, if you don't mind me asking?

[ and why is she smiling about it... ]

[slobjection]

Damian's pretty cool.


[ but only damian. ]

[coastal]

Hm... I'm not sure yet - I have ideas, but we can't say for sure until magic's been restored to us and our belongings.

[that said - ]

It's just the right thing to do, isn't it? If someone's suffered because of these stupid rituals or whatever you want to call them, they deserve to be saved. Just leaving them behind now that I know they exist - it'd be unforgivable.

[she is just talking for herself but she also has a tendency to make bold declarations in such broad terms. still, she seems to be unflinching about it.]
