WEEK ZERO: MINGLE

[gatonina]

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.

Hmph. [ This punk. Just eat your marshmallows??

All things considered, Dimitri takes this in good humor. Better irreverent than taking his position too seriously. ] I suppose it's a good thing the royal hierarchy has no bearing here. [ because everyone's manners are appalling, but also, ] I'm grateful for the opportunity to share a meal with you all.

[ if s'mores qualifies as a meal. ]

[bittybat]

[britt]

Former items then. It's why Pennyworth and Felix are here. Everyone likely received two things. The others in our cabin did as well.

[Sora helped Akane try to find that doll really hard!!]

[machinetranslation]

That's a relief, sir.

I'm afraid we didn't have time for proper introductions before. I am C-3PO, Human-Cyborg Relations. At your service.

Do let me know if there's anything I can do to assist you during our time in transit here.

[hmmm, hand is still there but this is a friendly conversation so it's fine he's sure]

[recrypt]

[ no my be het do crimes gag has been ruined by broken html ]

Hmmm.

[ that was an interesting turn of phrase a lot more relevant when they were actually on the hunt for the heart, but ]

How does that work, anyway? I'm pretty sure you don't actually mean it literally.

[overruns]

[ how is his word choice any more embarrassing than what majima went with. majima.

anyway, aww. that's really sweet. it's nice to see someone so sincere with their feelings—how many people are willing to admit that someone is so dear to them? ]

I see. [ he sounds faintly amused, but not derisively so. he's just charmed, don't mind him. ] I can see why you would be good with animals... you sound like a very loving man.

[fishingforcompliments]

[I SAID IT IN MY TOPLEVEL SO I FORGOT TO SAY IT HERE let me live]

If we are to believe what they say, then I suppose these items were also caught up in the... portal accident.

[okitactless]

[Tsuru is fucking useless, correct. Actually so is Yasusada for the opposite reason--but hey, at least he tries to help.

ANYWAY. Talking about Okita is approximately 50 billion times better than talking about sword lore, and Yasusada's face lights up as he nods eagerly.]

That's my first master! Okita Souji, captain of the first unit of the Shinsengumi! [You'd never know they lost by how proud Yasusada is to talk about it...] He was in the castle with me. It's a good thing he's not here, though, he had important places to go.

[read: he got his lungs magically healed from TB and went on a universe-hopping road trip but Yasusada doesn't want to get squashed by the History Police so he's not going to mention that.]

[concasse]

[And the moment he sits--]

Alright, let's start with the basics--

[He decides he might as well just run the show to keep this as smooth as possible. The less scripted it is, the better, but they gotta start somewhere]

Name's Sanji. Pirate chef. Used to be a prince. Lasted too damn long in the last murder shitshow I was apart of. If someone's gotta die early, volunteer me so I can take a goddamn nap.

[...]

Also, one of the things I just said might've been a lie, so.

[swordflash]

[Nobody is holding Asch at gunpoint to dance with Zenitsu. Nobody.

Positive reinforcement goes a long way with Zenitsu. Barking criticisms, however, only reduces him to a whining mess as he's dragged into the next step.]

I am! I am!

[Flustered, he continues to struggle, though he begins to lift his feet little by little, sometimes taking steps that are too large in compensation. He's trying his best.]

[getdrekt]

[he flashes her a sour look, but doesn't rise to it beyond that.]

Why would I want more people irritating me?

[concasse]

[-- OH SHE WANTS TO COOK. Well then. Looking immediately relieved and not like she almost sent him to an early grave]

I mean, I'm a fan of savory shit myself, but I'm sure whatever Minako-chan chooses will be delicious~!

[concasse]

[- Honestly he looks surprised that she looks surprised]

I mean... why not?

[swordflash]

[ Hopefully neither of them trips or dips into the bonfire. ]

L-like this?

[ He takes a small step toward Dimitri with one foot. The other foot dangles a few inches off the ground as he puzzles over where it's supposed to go. ]

[disreguarded]

I'm learning a whole bunch of shit today, apparently. I've never had peanut butter and chocolate together before but now I gotta try it.

So - wait, those two and a marshmallow on the graham cracker is what you're saying, right? Why are we not doing that like right fucking now?

[givethemhell]

[look i just thought it was a holdover from the bang boat and now i have regrets]

That's not the point of a roulette game, though! You have to be willing to test your luck, so of course you have to be aware of the fact that you can lose!

[He would absolutely 100% just give people wasabi mochi for funsies without saying anything though, but only close friends... There are no benefits at all to befriending Wei Wuxian.]

[givethemhell]

Ah, nonsense - there's always room for anyone to learn and change! Especially if they're young.

[WAVING A HAND... Boy that sounds hilarious though?! Except for the part where this PUNK is trying to startle him with his nephew's apparent girlfriend, but Zenitsu already broke the news and he had his yelling fit under the bar with him earlier.]

Hah, wouldn't happen to be Jin Ling, would it? [HE'LL STILL ROAST HIM THOUGH.] Ah, whoever that girl is, I hope she's ready. As you all surely know, dealing with him is no easy or simple matter, sometimes!

[overruns]

[ being from ye olden days means that dimitri only understands about 50% of what anyone is saying here at any time, but this seems especially confusing. ]

You... think you quit? Shouldn't you know?

[givethemhell]

You do have a point! Very well, then - you can be one of the accusing attorneys.

[Just assigns Belph attorneykin.]

[givethemhell]

[IT'S STILL VERY STUPID but yeah slightly less... stupid than it could be... which is a consolation prize for anyone forced to watch Wei Wuxian pull himself up onto Tsuru's back.]

—Alright, alright! All settled back here. Let's head to the kitchen, shall we?

[givethemhell]

Hah, a good thing, that! After all, we'll probably be here for some time.

[At least she didn't get stuck with the ghost of Christmas past ie her spring fling but as a 15 year old, and said 15 year old's boyfriend. Terrible.]

The accommodations aren't too bad either, compared to some of the places I've heard about.

[givethemhell]

Ah, I would, but- [He makes a motion with his hands, like he's plucking something off of an invisible item.] -I don't know what it is that they're taking off of the things they hand out, and they don't seem very keen on clarifying.

[givethemhell]

[Why does everyone else get to deal with so many neat immortals, god!! He leans forward, propping his cheek up against the flat of his palm.]

A cultivator! So you actually managed to cultivate to immortality, then? Or you're on your way, at the very least, hah! That's quite a thing - I've never met anyone who's managed that, myself.

[Their only immortal cultivator wised up and fucked right outta the normal human realm and he can't blame her. Just look at what happened to all of her proteges that left, damn.]

[givethemhell]

Haha, oh dear! So many worlds sound like such dangerous places to be.

[True enough gotta watch out for those..... wild lions roaming the streets...

Also that's fair he'd do the same if Jin Ling stole his leg. He would do the same even if Jin Ling didn't steal his leg, like he is right now.]

Ah, that happened to all of you, too? [ANIMORPHS WEEK.] Goodness, though - a peacock! It's almost too fitting.

[givethemhell]

That's the part where we just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best. Maybe we should ask if one of our dear hosts has any purifying salts to throw, hah.

[He would never ask because he does not trust what they have to give.]

[givethemhell]

[PLEASE, HIS SHIRT BREAD!! So many people have turned hm down, it's tragic.]

...To get a glass of water, maybe? Well! If you aren't hungry, we can go somewhere else, if you want.
