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.

Oh, well - I could show you how to use a toaster, if you want!

[Here he is, assuming that WWX thinks it takes too long because he doesn't know what toasters are.]

[givethemhell]

[Dick's entire life seems complicated, and honestly, Wei Wuxian is like || this close to just saying exactly that but eventually decides against it.]

—Haha, well now. That's a funny thing to hold over your head, considering what the "blablabla" probably was.

[Vigilante-ing, he assumes.]

I think if you have a big enough mess, people just look at it and give up on you right away. Very convenient!

[muragas]

It's beautiful! Especially when you're riding the trains in the morning - you go around the bend, and you can see the water shimmering in the sunlight.

But more importantly, it's also the home of the mystery takoyaki!

[ she's so proud ]

[givethemhell]

[They are taking a break yes, and Wei Wuxian is helpfully patting his arms.]

Don't make a spiky vest with your hair spikes! That sounds like it would be uncomfortable.

[haw]

[ he thinks very hard on the matter for a few seconds... ]

I give it a solid 7.5/10.

[haw]

[ just wait until u lose ur eye mr dab. smh. ]

Wait, like, literally? 'Cause of super strength or somethin'?

[givethemhell]

[JUST WAVING HIS HAND to wave off the subject of becoming Asch's teacher. He is done collecting juniors okay!! No more juniors, the juniors applications are closed!

As for poor Anya:]

Ah, yes, we had something similar on the boat, too. I heard Jin Ling was a peacock? [FITTING. He tsks and shakes his head.] But I'd love to get a look at the person who can put up with him!

[getdrekt]

Shrimp chips?

[that sounds. vile. he shakes his head.]

I can't imagine how they would be. As for these, I found them in the isolation cabin—there's snacks and drinks.

[givethemhell]

Much better!

[He seems very satisfied with this, thanks. Also he probably does have split ends let's be real, he woke up in Mo Xuanyu's body and immediately ran around for like 3 days without bathing. It's amazing with the complete lack of care he pays himself that he isn't just like falling apart in general.

His head tips a little to the side, though he rights it again semi-automatically, remembering how Jiang Yanli would scold him for moving around too much whenever she'd braid his hair.]

Hm? Do you think so? I was just using whatever shampoo they have here.

[givethemhell]

Hm! Do you not have any sort of- [WAVES A HAND his sandwich is just totally forgotten by now.] -afterlife to scoot them off to?

[They really do sound like pests in his world, wow... Like a bunch of gnats that refuse to leave.]

[givethemhell]

[You know what.

He'll give this one to Evan, sure.]

You know, that would be lovely, thank you! You're a kind one, hm?

[getdrekt]

yike]

So you had a different specialization? Before you were equipped as a weapon?

[givethemhell]

Hm... Room for improvement, but not a bad start at all! I'll gladly accept this generous rating.

[IT'S LIKE A C+ but you know, that's honestly pretty generous for any food he makes, period.]

I've been doing a lot more cooking and baking lately, so I wonder if you'd be a willing test subject for me in the future, then?

[fishingforcompliments]

I am hardly peering over your shoulder. I am merely looking in your direction from time to time while I remain exactly where I have been seated this whole time.

[...]

But yes, I must admit that I am.

[selfinserting]

[He glances down, a little uncomfortable but pleased by the compliment regardless.]

I mean - that's, um, that's you. You tried really hard to make me feel better when we, um, first got here, so it's the least I can do, right...?

[haw]

[ THIS BUN IS NOW DAUGHTER. WOW. LOVE HER. majima pauses for a moment as bun pokes him in the face...

then, very carefully, lifts her off of his shoulder to instead place her at the very top of his head. ]

sport court

[muragas]

[ sorry, she's going to completely cut off his sentence because: ]

Hey! That equipment is expensive, you know! You should be more respectful!

[recrypt]

Who can say. My memory was wiped before I was booted up in my current state. This isn't standard procedure, but the end point is that as far as I personally know, I have only ever been UMP45.

But for many dolls, yes- they did have different specializations before they were retrofitted and equipped as weapons. Performers, caretakers, bartenders, maids, fashion designers- you name it. They still remember those lives too.

[haw]

. . .

The fact that ya used "test subject" instead of "taste tester" makes me wanna say hell no.

[muragas]

Maybe not Black Shadows.

[ Akira was all dolled up, and now he's got nowhere he can go ]

Well, at least we've got stuff to clean up now! Come on, on your feet, that mustard won't wipe itself up.

[ if she hurries off to grab cleaning supplies, she'll be too busy to feel embarrassed or guilty about his clothes. ]

[muragas]

... You're on thin ice, buddy.

[ no funny business or you'll be in super debt

she takes a moment to crack open the top and take a few swigs of water ]

So? What's up?

[baori]

[ i'll flip a coin to decide which he is.

he'd judge him for what that means but at the same time, it's an entirely valid point. giyuu is an old man (frigid?) for years but sometimes that just happens when deal with demons eating [redacted]. either way, while he nyooms, giyuu will shuffle around to look for a rag and—bingo. ]

I found one.

[ though when he turns to examine the mess that lays before them.... hm. the task wasn't lying when they mentioned mess. ]

I might need to look for two.

[baori]

[ always. ]

You.

[ there's no hesitation in what he says but he does look away. what happened between them has left them on uncertain ground, but it doesn't mean he should run away from it. ]

...I was considering it for some others as well.

[ maybe that will jog her memory of what she told him? about sharing meals with people. just talking to them for the sake of talking (even though he's miserable at that). ]

[baori]

They were salty and didn't taste of shrimp at all.

[ he sounds disappointed, honestly. how dare they not taste as advertised!!!!

but also, there are a few things to unpack from that but what he's going to focus the most on is the fact that he just confessed to thieving?? asch, there are snacks in the mess hall. ]

You just took them from the cabin?

[givethemhell]

Oh, right.

[As if he's only just now remembering that that is not the word to use in this situation.....]

...Taste tester, that's the one! That's what I meant.
