WEEK ZERO: MINGLE

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.

Ja, I ran into a spot of trouble, you see, so I'm having a little more trouble reaching up to things than I should...

[ it's said very apologetically, sorry to impose on someone for this task :( ]

In exchange, I can handle mopping and cleaning the countertops- how does that sound?

[getdrekt]

[A PAINFUL MINUTE OF SETTING UP SOLITAIRE AND TRYING NOT TO PUNCH A GIRL DIRECTLY IN HER STUPID STUPID FACE]

I'm not looking for one, and I don't need practice.

[he practiced. recently. holy hell. dancing with anya was only like three weeks ago for him. he suddenly wants to evaporate on the spot.]

Leave.

[shortforever]

Like who? That Magnus guy? He's pretty tall.

[successives]

[Once he's closer:]

If you actually do have a bad back, nobody's forcing you to do this, you know.

[That might be a nice offer if she didn't sound vaguely exasperated.]

[slobjection]

I'd never abandon such a considerate young woman to clean alone.

[ he'd just walk slowly ]

[bittybat]

[what is it ara

This time, he shifts his weight to the other side. He brings his left foot in toward her, and then moves it back behind him.]

[recrypt]

[ oh, that sentiment is a mood. she giggles a little, softly. ]

We can't choose the way we're made, can we? Hehe.

But you seem to have done decently enough for yourself in managing it?

[ the way she cleans the places Shinobu reorganizes is very strictly efficient, like it's calculated out to cover the most area and be the most effective in the fewest possible passes. ]

[overruns]

[ the worst part of this exchange is that not only does he accept this wet napkin, but because it is a gift, he will keep it forever. it's going up on their cabin wall.

it's definitely gross though, and he holds it by a corner. A little flatly, ]

Thank you. [ Dab.... he just sighs a little. ] So, what is it that you do that gives you... fans?

[ since dimitri is apparently his Biggest Fan, he should at least know what he's supposed to appreciate about this man. ]

[wisterin]

[ She holds a finger to her lips. ]

[coastal]

I'm not going to wait for if a path is going to open up - I'm going to make a path that opens up. We know it was possible for plenty of us, so why not them? Even if it's complicated, we have to do better than just wait.

[she is so purposeful and also dramatic for someone who is 5'3" and is probably looking up at dimitri to have this conversation]

I know that solving our dilemma comes first - but we can't forget them either. I won't allow it.

[successives]

[She wrinkles her nose.]

...My name is Natalie.

[successives]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that trend is going to continue.

[She turns the sink on to wet the sponge, putting a little bit of soap on it and squeezing.]

[slobjection]

It's no act.... and that's quite exaggerated. I don't think a youngster like you could understand.

[slobjection]

Phoenix. Or Nick, if you want.

[haw]

[ excuse you isabelle is a SHIH TZU... anyway. majima just rolls his eye at getting lowkey swear-shamed. he's an adult, he can do whatever the fuck he wants!! ]

Look, any animal will be all over you if ya give 'em food an' don't be a dick to 'em. [ he nods to the jar of treats on the receptionist's desk. ] She's Black Shadows's rabbit, for the record. The other two are color-coded, too.

[getdrekt]

[SILICATES? PUTREFYING BRAIN? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK]

What about the undead. Is that a part of the silication and putrefaction?

[unpredicktable]

And yet you rescued a cow from a slaughterhouse and adopted it. [ he says it with a raised eyebrow and a lilt to his tone. ] So I'd say the was part of that sentence is important.

[ but there's a pause as dick rakes a hand through his hair. there's something exhausted in his body language, but that's nothing to do with damian. it's been there for weeks. ]

If you think that's all there is to you, we can leave it at that-- for today. [ in case damian thinks that means dick agrees with it. ] But you were trying to fulfill a task, right? I'm pretty sure that requires both of us to share. So, go on. Ask me anything.

[recrypt]

As least a few different people were expecting them, or comparing to their previous ones, so... perhaps?

[successives]

Yeah, I know. I mean, I read the boarding passes. I was just reminding you of mine so you wouldn't call me - that.

[What, a considerate young woman??]

[selfinserting]

A-Are you sure? I didn't see any bandages or anything laying, um, laying around...

[slobjection]

A considerate young Natalie?

[ how's that ]

[successives]

[Immediately:]

Natalie.

[psychedelica]

You don't know what they are?!

[ this is some looney tunes shit!! ]

[coastal]

[she rolls her eyes, and she's not going to put down her armful of chicken, but she's going to just wander closer]

Proceed.

[why does she still sound like she's giving orders]

[slobjection]

A Natalie, then.

[ they're at the kitchen so natalie can bully him to clean now ]
