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.

... Honestly, if it's only four so far, that's better than I expected.

[recrypt]

Essentially. They're actually not undead in the strictest form of the word, as they never died in the traditional manner before being revived, but the symptoms of Eurosky Low-Emission Infectious Disease manifest in such a similar manner to the popular fictional depictions of the undead that the address just sort of... stuck, colloquially.

More precisely, those who have contracted the condition are called ELID. They have no mind anymore outside of what seems like an impulse to attack being outside of themselves in their surroundings indiscriminately, and in particularly strong-willed sorts perhaps the echoes of the very last thing that drove them before they lost themselves entirely.

[ like, you know, the concept of revenge against whoever did this to them if it was sudden. ]

[selfinserting]

[He isn't expecting her to do that, and he's surprised enough that he doesn't move away in time even when he realizes what she's about to do. He goes a little red when she touches his hand, and that's before he notices it's stuck. As he does:]

—Oh, no. I'm, I'm sorry, I didn't think this would happen here...

[Hm?]

[getdrekt]

[Asch is finally walking back from the Prison Hut, and he still has his bag of... i don't know, crunchy curlz or whatever they are under his arm.

he pauses as Giyuu hails him, and looks down at the packet—then holds it out for inspection.

"When it's more than OK, it's O KE DOKE CRUNCHY CURLS".]

[applechemist]

I could just show you how I would make an apple pie if I had my alchemy. Then we can take care of two at once.

[ And conveniently, she is done with the dishes! ]

[getdrekt]

With what.

[HE DOES NOT!!!]

[daifukus]

My thoughts as well.

[ all the better to aggressively scrub his way without having to speak to anyone. clearly this is the best teamup for cleaning tasks ever because who needs words??

he, however, does absently start humming mid cleaning. ]

[getdrekt]

[. . .]

Well, it is.

[now what, thinmint]

[slobjection]

Not much faith in this group?

[getdrekt]

Shut up!

[CARD SHUFFLING INTENSIFIES]

I'd like to see you do better! Break a hip!

[unpredicktable]

[

teenage girls in love are a goddamn trip, sometimes, dick thinks, technically a teen himself ]

Wow. Sounds like the whole package. You're Water Tribe, so... is the Earth Tribe close by, that you know him that well?

[successives]

The only one here, actually.

[She walks inside, glancing at the mess, and:]

Floors or counters?

[slobjection]

[ he has cleaned like two counters ]

[ is that good enough ]

Two birds with one stone. I like it.

[unpredicktable]

Well, that just means they were afraid of any real competition. I promise, if we ever host a eating contest here, you'll be allowed to participate.

[coastal]

[she tilts her head]

Maybe you can name her after a spice?

[Pepper,,]

[getdrekt]

Explain.

[he's IMMEDIATELY intrigued.]

[recrypt]

Maybe?

[slobjection]

The Natalie.

[ he picks up a rag... ]

I'll take counters. Easier on the ol' back.

[applechemist]

It's definitely like nothing I've ever seen before. The ship was like that, too. All that water...

[ Escha is also just... Idly petting the bunny. Nailed it. ]

[applechemist]

Woah! That all sounds really impressive! And you must be, to have been sent to a castle...!

[unfriendliest]

[ he considers this for a moment ]

Sesame...? [ ah, but less warriorlike. ] ...Sesame-hime?

[recrypt]

Ah, yes, we made do with some of the things we had on hand...

It's fine, it was all completely sanitary.

[applechemist]

Okay.

[ Good idea.... Escha does that, moving slowly to be super careful about it. If they were holding both hands they would not get anything done at all! ]

[recrypt]

[ she just starts sweeping! with uno arm. because that's probably a good order of business to get to before mopping anything up.

it is all very precise and efficient. ]

[daifukus]

From what I've learned, peace has finally reached our lands far in the future.

[ his voice goes soft and fond like he always does when talking of his home ]

It's still not perfect but we have become a place much more dedicated to bettering lives than destroying the people.

[ SO HE THINKS but shhh, let him have this ]
