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.

[muragas]

Do you want to talk about something else?

[ like, home seems fairly inoffensive. it's not like she wants to go to anyone else's, after all. ]

[voidbreaker]

[ never ]

None of the stories I’ve heard have been exactly “neat”. [ like. a lot of people died? ]

But yeah. Assuming anyone who ain’t here made it back to wherever they planned on going, sure.

[voidbreaker]

[ squints. ]

...

I’m afraid to ask, but what kind of names?

[voidbreaker]

[ yeah he knows. ]

And now we’ve just found out we’ve all been kidnapped, again, potentially to all try to kill each other, again. [ DO YOU SEE WHY HE EXPECTS TEARS, ZENITSU? and anya’s not even here for him to cry on. ]

[muragas]

If it shows up later, I'll say you jinxed us.

[ she takes a seat on a bench and scoots back, leaving space for Wei Wuxian to sit in front of her. time to see what state his hair is in - hopelessly knotted? hopefully not.

... did he even apply conditioner... ]

Yeah, it should be fine. I took care of my own hair for years, you know - you're in good hands!

[voidbreaker]

[ yeah ash is just going to default assume chuuya was here to pet bunnies. ]

Trying to figure if I need to charge rent.

[ >( ]

[getdrekt]

And I'll keep stepping on it if you don't pick up the steps!

[asch is not being a nice lead, and he ignores the grousing entirely. waltzing with a dude—worse, anya's #1 whiteknight. this sucks!!!!!

anyway, he does move slightly slower to compensate, but if zenitsu shuffles too much, he just tightens his grip and drags him into the next step. he's still counting under his breath.]

One-two-three, ONE-two-three, step-to-the-left-damn-you!

[getdrekt]

Yes.

I've endured enough shared messhalls for a lifetime.

[voidbreaker]

...

Is that even a thing?

[getdrekt]

...And how do you fit into all of this.

[getdrekt]

[AAAAAAAAAAA

he stands up, fists in balls, jaw set

and bears down on her, all 5'6" of him trying to intimidate little miss 5'3--




--or at least that's what it looks like is going to happen, right up until he just very gently shoves her out the door instead. gitalong.]

[getdrekt]

There are no "moves".

[LEAVE HIM BE!!!!!]

[voidbreaker]

[ ash loves explaining his tech to everyone 😔 ]

... It’s like a device, and you put quartz in it and [ he makes a motion with his hand ] boom. Arts linked to that quartz, at your disposal.

[machinetranslation]

Oh, I assure you the pleasure is mine, Master Wuxian!

And there's no need for apologies. I've found that many of those I'm encountering recently have little-to-no experience with droids, so I'm happy to answer any queries. It's quite a novel experience, actually. I don't spend much time in such remote systems.

[If Wei has made any attempt to like, continue getting ready, Threepio is following along happily, still carrying his armful of toiletries. Otherwise, I hope other folks weren't hoping for a chatter free showering experience.]

[voidbreaker]

For now.

[ said with an air of agreement. ]

We’ll figure out whether we can trust them sooner or later, either way.

AND EVAN

[machinetranslation]

[Threepio perceives all negative behavior as anger directed at him specifically that's probably his fault. Still, he understands the content of what Majima is saying to be rather wholesome]

[At Majima's...colorful descriptions, Threepio takes a moment to recall the boarding passes and room assignments he knows of.]

Would that be Masters Asch, Huaisang, and Hansen, sir?

[hydrogenetic]

Percy Jackson. Good to meet you. [Giyuu is trying and I support him, as does Percy. With that said, he tilts his head as a way to gesture to the camp itself.] What do you think so far?

[machinetranslation]

[Threepio shuffles up to where she's standing on the table because it's Rude to yell]

Hello, Miss Beau. I believe I came from "The Abandoned Island." I certainly haven't been a part of any of those other outlandish scenarios.

Also, might I say the new hat suits you quite well.

[hydrogenetic]

Uh...what've you got for someone who's not that great at dancing?

[hydrogenetic]

[Lmao.]

Open fires because someone screwed up somewhere? [A nod of solidarity.] Can't believe there's a whole world out there marshmallows don't exist. They're, like, a staple of summer. Glad to see you've been enlightened.

[wowcool]

[Lightly:]

I died the first week on the island I was on before I came here, so...it isn't much of a stretch.

[muragas]

[ distantly, she could swear she hears something...

maybe it's time to rethink her words a bit. ]

Yep! Do you think something sweet or savory would go over better?

[ yes this is definitely what she intended all along, haha Akira who ]

[wowcool]

[He stares at her laughing...and then breaks out into a peal of laughter himself as she tries to save his poor marshmallow.] Hahaha! I guess I need to pay more attention, huh?

[hydrogenetic]

[The most unfortunate part is that he's not going to correct him because he thinks it's hilarious.

Likewise, he also thinks this is hilarious but he'll play along and nod instead.]

I think I may have heard something like that. You're not from another place without marshmallows, are you? [Luckily he's a real pro at this which means he's taking the marshmallows and grabbing one to prepare to skewer for the fire.]

[machinetranslation]

[First thing in the morning, Threepio will make his way into the Directors' Office. In an extremely bright voice, he greets Black Shadows.]

Good morning, sir! I am C-3PO, Human-Cyborg Relations. At your service. [he gives a small, polite bow] My apologies for not introducing myself earlier.

I was hoping to enquire after a power cable. Prior to arriving at your wonderful facilities here, I was marooned on a remote island for two weeks with no access to a charging point and I'm afraid my batteries are running quite low. My port can accept any standard powerbus linkage cables, although the manufacturer recommendation is for first-party Cybot Galactica 3PO Unit Coupler Cables. But one can't afford to be choosy in such situations.

[While chattering away at poor Black Shadows, he indicates the circular port on his stomach, which has some sort of multi-pin connection point in the center.]
