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.

I'm being good!

[so far]

[why are you pouting Akira]

[survivaltricks]

"Actual age?"

[a light snort]

What does that mean?

[unfriendliest]

[ tsurumaru kuninaga, ]

Does it matter now?

[survivaltricks]

Of course.

[head tilt!!]

Why wouldn't it?

[unfriendliest]

Because everyone was revived...?

[survivaltricks]

Well. Yeah.

[and that's a good thing. but!!]

The setup here so far-- the three "teams," the powers we've been given-- is similar to the setup of another game.

So I'm trying to learn as much about what happened in other places as I can.

[just in case MORE mechanics are reused here, in Camp Gatonina]

[unfriendliest]

[ a valid enough argument that kara can't argue, especially since he's been trying to do the same. lucky you, akira. ]

There could only be one, uncorrupted survivor for us to succeed. Butt we didn't have factions like this - just the abilities we were given.

[unpredicktable]

[ he is not, in fact, comforted by that, and he comes out with a wary look ]

Please wash your hands before we go.

[ ITS A PUBLIC BATHROOM ]

[unpredicktable]

You don't know a thing about deep-sea diving do you?

[bittybat]

I know.

[Time to give Batman a Dr. Stone arc.]

Grandfather was a fan of biological weaponry. Diseases, natural disasters. If it wouldn't raze the world that way, he mostly wouldn't condone it.

So what does that make you in the grand scheme of things?

[survivaltricks]

Not a damn thing.

[he admits so easily, so casually, and without any inflection in his tone]

[fishingforcompliments]

Song and dance? Are you also a musician, then?

[fishingforcompliments]

But if you could only go by one, which would you prefer?

[fishingforcompliments]

[is his "whisper" the same volume as his normal speaking voice...

she nods, though. both in agreement with what he's saying about the other people - it really is tough to believe it's merely a coincidence that their experiences have overlapped, and now here they all are - and because she wants to believe that the camp directors really will sort out the transportation issues quickly.]

They certainly did. Much friendlier than that disembodied voice, at any rate.

[survivaltricks]

[same hat!!!]

I heard about that. You guys voted on a trustworthy final survivor, right?

Shess?

[unfriendliest]

That's right. He's the one who guaranteed our success.

[preowned]

Hm...

[ he wanders over to the sinks to do that then

he is a good crane. ]

[axilium]

How scandalous!

[bittybat]

Not a bad idea.

[Hmmm. Poor Pennyworth. Damian is regarding the cat with a very overly scientist expression. What if they just got one of those little microfiber socks and put it on over the cat so they can slide him across the floor back and forth?

It's fine.]

I have experience in handling animals, yes.

[bittybat]

You won't.

[To show her, Damian reaches out to brush a hand down the back of Pennyworth's neck from the ears to the shoulder blades. Pennyworth doesn't really even pause in cleaning aside from a hiccuping thrup of noise.

He does stop when Flayn pets him, but not to be irritated. He turns his head and smells her wrist with a cold, wet nose, and then he butts the hand with his head.]

[recrypt]

[ a vague, vague smile ]

There's more than one reason why we don't exist.

[axilium]

Not at all. I'm sure you must love him dearly.

[axilium]

Well, there's a lot of different types of lawyers, so it depends.

[fishingforcompliments]

[busted!! flayn bites her lip.]

...what are you doing with those cards?

[axilium]

Thank you, I appreciate it.
