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.

[Evan is DOING HIS BEST... And Wei Wuxian is just here, being his usual unfortunate self.]

Haha, now that was the least I could do! Can't leave someone in the midst of a panic, yes?

[He's already nyooming around to look for the toaster in the dark, anyway.]

[muragas]

[ and yet, he's the one who mentioned the four limit thing... ]

That's right! No friend caps allowed! Which means I can't be one of your four friends, because I'm just going to be one of your many friends!

[muragas]

[ well

alright then

she's going to latch on to Tsuru, soaking his clothing

clasping her hands behind his neck

haha, dish water's going down his back at this rate ]

[muragas]

[ can't relate to that "rich teen" nonsense. what's a yen ]

... What kind of eggs?

[ maybe he can make them sunny side up or soft boiled or something ]

[muragas]

[ well at least he's not trying to use that 3-in-1 body wash Akihiko had...

well, no snags, thankfully. and no scolding either - Minako's still just separating all his hair into sections. there's so much of it! and he doesn't do anything to take care of it!!! she's not sure if she's jealous or dismayed. ]

... Is that it?

[getdrekt]

Debatable. We mostly just classified them as a variety of monster. [he gives a blasé shrug.] They weren't ghosts of humans, in any case. [.........prrrrrobably.]

This "cultivation"—can it be used offensively?

[givethemhell]

[wouldn't that be funny if he was one thing for almost every alcohol but the other thing for like, tequila or something

Giyuu is far too... dutiful... He really is an old man just out here doing his best, trying to get his tasks done.]

We can worry about that when we get to it! [Which is his response to like just about every hurdle. CROSS THAT BRIDGE LATER, IT'S FINE. He tosses the broom handle from one hand to another, doing a little spin with it.]

Can you clean and dance at the same time, or shall I do the leading?

[getdrekt]

Fine. Get over here.

[he waves his hand brusquely, gesturing her closer.]

It's a single-player game played with a deck of cards. Do you have these, in your world?

[the cards.]

[givethemhell]

[3-in-1 body wash......

He hums out a few little aimless notes while she works, in any case. It reminds him a lot of more pleasant days! He has no idea she's back there having a crisis over his Rapunzel locks and his complete lack of hair care knowledge.

He pauses for a second at the question, which is probably enough of an answer.]

...Should that not be it? Is there more?

[givethemhell]

[UNO CONCERN.]

Mm, makes sense that they would have such a strong tie to your world in that case, then. But in some ways, yes! [Especially the demonic brand but we don't talk about that.] We do still need to eradicate the creatures causing irreparable damage or too much trouble for their own good, after all. Some styles of cultivation are more defensive than offensive or vice versa, but every type has elements of both.

[getdrekt]

Yeah. The hosts called it their "time-out cabin". I assume it works the same as the kitchen.

Since we haven't pointed the finger at a murderer yet, there's no one there—it's quiet. [and therefor, relaxing.]

[getdrekt]

These "dolls"—do they outnumber the living inhabitants of your planet, now?

[getdrekt]

And what about yours? I assume you use it.

[voidbreaker]

[ thinks about the divine knights

sweats slightly ]

Most of the time they don’t. But... I dunno. Actual magic’s kinda out there, and seems to work on a whole other level.

[fishingforcompliments]

[NIJI DON'T MAKE ME THINK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT FE3H HAS PLAYING CARDS AT 2:30 AM

anyway flayn comes over and kneels down next to him to get a closer look at the cards. i'm going to go with "yes, probably, since they have dice and board games, but maybe not the same suits"]

I have seen something similar before, but the designs on the cards are a little different.

[voidbreaker]

[ here he is. a disease. ]

Wonder why rabbits though? You’d think, I dunno. Squirrels? They seem like something you’d find in a forest.

[voidbreaker]

You’d think that might be on the application form, huh?

[getdrekt]

[hehEHEHEHEHEHHEE

he gathers up all the cards in his setup, and starts laying them out in the designated start pattern.]

It's called solitaire. Essentially, your goal is to "sort" the cards into their suits—hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades.

[and i don't really feel like typing out all of the solitaire rules because i spent all of yesterday typing out FONON SHIT, so let's just say he teaches flayn the hell out of solitaire from there.]

[voidbreaker]

[ shame because i’m biased as all heck and mini lops are the cutest rabbits ever ]

...

[ can he sit down without moving either of his feet and disturbing the buns? ]

[fishingforcompliments]

I see... so it requires both skill and luck.

[Because there are probably some sorts of ways the deck could initially get shuffled that would make it unsolvable...]

It seems like a good game for keeping your mind sharp!

[machinetranslation]

[Still on the ground, Threepio slowly turns his head to see the dog just sitting there.]

I don't believe I'm damaged in any way, sir, but I'm not sure if it's safe to approach whatever creature this is. We are quite near the wilderness. Perhaps you should alert the administrators.

[voidbreaker]

You’ll have to keep checking the camp store to see if they start selling them.

[getdrekt]

[he nods at the summary.] The possible combinations of cards is innumerable.

It's good for passing time. [a mindless pursuit, engaging, but repetitive enough to think about other things. but it wasn't exactly a two-person game.]

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes, it seems so! Would you mind terribly if I continued to watch you play? We do not have to converse if you do not wish to.

[It's not a two-person game, but she sort of wants to challenge herself to try and identify potential combinations before he does... not that she'll tell him that part.]

[getdrekt]

[...]

Do whatever you want.

[which, i guess, is "sure".]
