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.

[ kara shrugs one shoulder, careful not to disturb the buns. he was fine with it, actually? he's not brokeen anymore, after all. ]

Sometimes sacrifices must be made in battle in order to win the war. That's nothing new.

[shortforever]

It can be both, but playing against other people is better. The computer players are too easy to beat, the real challenge is from others.

[overruns]

[ Oh? That's an unexpected request, but he nods. ]

That I can oblige. [ He'll hand Chuuya the broom as he goes off to rummage for another. ] What sort of story would you like to hear?

[shortforever]

I'll fight off any monsters that try to attack you while you cook.

[Because that is absolutely a thing that's going to happen right now.]

[shortforever]

[He is absolutely here to pet bunnies.]

I heard rabbit fur makes for soft scarves, maybe you can comb some of it off and start on making one of those.

[bittybat]

What makes it not a dance? We're dancing.

[He does a one-eighty in place until he's back to facing her again. This time, he puts his right arm forward toward her, and then he pulls it back behind him.

And then he shakes it.]

[haw]

[ taking the tactical l... respectable. like, lmao fuckin loser, but a respectable loser. ]

Nah, I got too much goin' on to be able to have one. 'Sides, my apartment was already barely big enough for me before I found myself with a +1, I got no clue how to add an animal to the mix.

[ as he pets the bun, he looks... surprisingly soft? clearly, the bunny's softness must be rubbing off on him as she nudges his hand with her lil nose. ]

[shortfornow]

[ that's an interesting reaction. ]

Then you should share a fact or a story about them if you want to complete the task.

[overruns]

[ one day, he will have absorbed all information about modern settings so he can stop asking what every mundane concept is. this one is actually quite innocent, though... he watches dick play with rabbitkun, not quite reaching out to administer pets himself. ]

Ah, like a menagerie. I know some palaces choose to keep them, though people certainly do not 'pet' any of the animals. [ Also not open to the public, because being a peasant is miserable. ] I've never considered such a thing... Do people enjoy these petting zoos? Perhaps I should look into enacting one, if they are good for morale.

[ he's looking at this as like, urban planning. ]

[voidbreaker]

[ pfft. ]

What kind of a name is that?

[bittybat]

[His eyes narrow just a little at the names, but he doesn't call her a liar. Different universes and all. He's learning.]

And? What is it like?

[bittybat]

[YOU'RE SO VALID, IKI. I can only read because I am a Bat.]

Do you know how to sweep floors?

[haw]

[ d r y l y , ]

Would ya look at that. Teamwork makes the dream work.

[overruns]

[ these ducking bracket potshots, unbelievable

anyway, this man seems quite gentle, actually. dimitri pulls up a faint smile, more at the sight of this grown man playing with a bunny than the bunny itself. it's quite sweet, actually. ]

A plus one...? [ okay time to stretch his modern slang muscles here... what could that mean? ] Ah, did you adopt a child recently?

[ disclaimer: i don't know anything about yakuza ]

[bittybat]

...Yes, the rooster.

[He looks like he's ready to close his eyes, even if he doesn't. The top of Mrs. O'Leary's head gets some pats.]

The one Maxwell had. I'm not sure why it's here. There are more important things to worry about.

[haw]

Okay, but ya gotta admit, that just escalated way too fast. No one coulda stopped that runaway train once it got off the tracks.

[recrypt]

Hehe. ♪ Here I thought the "criminal activities" part explained that.

Did you know it's illegal for a doll to be without a registered owner or master? It's tied to our login IDs and everything.

[survivaltricks]

[








]

What?

[wow that is a surprisingly sharp and angry reply]

[voidbreaker]

I have never made a scarf in my life, I'm not gonna start now.

[ how? does that even work? ]

I could charge for the therapeutic benefts of petting a rabbit though.

[overruns]

[ this is so gross. he gazes down at their conjoined hands, defeated and exasperated. this is definitely giyuu's fault, but they both get to share equally in the suffering. ]

I rarely have much of an appetite...

[ it's not sweets specifically, probably. he sighs, pulling giyuu along as he reaches for more paper towels. ]

Please do not put the blame on my tastes. You should take responsibility for your crimes, Giyuu.

[ his s'mores crimes. ]

[shortforever]

We had some rooms in the house we had to break into too, but there was other stuff to do there. But like, I think the girls were the ones who made the games, while the house did the locked rooms, so maybe that's why it's different.

[successives]

W...hy.

[That's about all she's got.]

[shortforever]

Probably not something sad, since we gotta clean this place up. So a happy one, I guess?

[He'll tackle cleaning the counters while Dimitri gets the floor.]

[shortforever]

You'd have to pay the counselors a cut.

[He'll sit down near Ash and reach out to pet one of the non-sleeping bunnies.]

How crazy would it be if the purple one ended up being Plum?

[haw]

[ it is my secret skill... but anyway. majima lets out a strangled sort of noise and sputters when dimitri throws out that suggestion. ]

What? Oh, god, no, what the shit. If I can't take care of a pet, how the hell do ya expect me to raise a wholeass tiny human?!
