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.

[They're on opposite sides of the table, so Taako kind of oofs Magnus tugs on his arm and yanks him directly into the table.]

You already know all my dance moves! Why are you punishing me for wanting to drink away some troubles here?

[voidbreaker]

[ yeeesssss. he's absolutely pouring himself a drink. ]

So, we do these field exercises back home. Two, three day trips that are part of our curriculum, and on this one we ended up in my neck of the woods. And I think it's physically impossible for something to not spiral out of control while we're on these things, so waking up to cannons is a pretty normal irregularity.

Our instructor gets his marching orders from a government lackey - basically "you know the big organisation we monitor, who keep trying to further their plans all over the empire? Figure out what they're doing, and fuck it up for them". So we do. Class VII, my class for the record, gets sent us off to this nearby Naval Fortress that was being overrun and used as a base by the society, and told to infiltrate it and head to the top of the fort.

[ he's not elaborating on anything that might sound weird to anyone not from Erebonia, questions at the end Magnus. ]

It's crawling with society goons, and orbal tech droids, and higher ranked members of the society running around all over the place, but we still managed to get to the top and shut whatever they were trying to do down. [ ... ] 'Cept they destroyed their own experiment before they left, so... I guess whatever it was, it wasn't worth it falling into our hands.

[slobjection]

That's right.

[ phoenix is so proud of tsuru for reading. ] And what should I call you?

[ he knows but he's hoping he will get permission to call him tsuru ]

[successives]

[She snorts.]

Right. Your not even 35 years old back.

[Off she goes, though she glances back to make sure he's coming.]

[slobjection]

I'm allergic to raw bread.

[haw]

[ bitch

as majima looks at the ceiling, his fist still magically glued to tsuru's cheek, he can only muster up the energy to say: ]

Quick question: why the fuck.

[bittybat]

My vernacular is fine. [He is an old man trapped in a boy's body. He isn't holding Felix because roosters are mean, and there is no reason, but it has followed him here.] Kazakiri is the name? The rooster is Felix.

Do you know how to care for them?

[He sounds judging. He looks at her

judgingly.]

[voidbreaker]

Tragic.

[slobjection]

Maybe they know more about us than they're letting on.

[coastal]

[she hates this - but even if she stumbles, she ends up trying to catch herself with a hand on his shoulder for stability automatically anyway. that said, lili's a lady of nobility and can figure out dances pretty quick even though the ones she knows very rarely require people to be so... close.

after a few repetitions, she's fine - but she's still going to complain to cover up her embarrassment]

I hope no one ever pays you to be an instructor.

[slobjection]

Excellent work. I think you're ready to do it quicker.

bonfire...

[baori]

[ giyuu was just meandering around the camp with no real purpose. the peace is a weird one to adjust to when you're not used to that sort of thing but the familiar voice gets his attention. he's fine with obliging. ]

I can.

[ once he has taken a seat at a comfortable distance apart. ]

You're up late.

[survivaltricks]

Oh, no. Of course not. I'm not good enough to be giving lessons.

[he stops guiding her so much as soon as she gets the hang of it, but he's absolutely going to keep dancing for a good solid five or so minutes. just to be sure]

[voidbreaker]

...

[ huh. ]

I'm not one of those.

[muragas]

[ that gets a proper shriek out of her, though it's still tinged with laughter ]

Not the hair-!

[ revenge! revenge for her locks! eat ketchup curls, Akira!

... man I hope the chefs don't mind eau de condiments later. and that the mop pole is long enough to reach the ceiling ]

[coastal]

[she's going to beat up this small child the second she puts the chicken down]

Of course I do, moron. I hope Felix pecks that look off your face.

[slobjection]

Something on your mind, then?

[ use your words, giyuu, he believes in you! ]

[coastal]

[she thinks about it and settles on:]

No.

[disreguarded]

[ twirl!! why is akira so cute. beau twirls him, and then extends her free hand out behind her as she bows, still grinning. oh, also, she's got phoenix's hat on, I just realized, which makes her look extra ridiculous. ]

Man, if we get out of here, I'm gonna have to take you to Hupperdook.

[survivaltricks]

[and the funny thing is, the kitchen just seems to get messier the more they do this?? like it isn't just the ketchup and mustard. there are dishes in the sink and dirty towels on the countertops and grease on the stove and everything. weird???]

We've got showers now, you know!

[HER HAIR WILL SURVIVE]

[anyway he is finally ducking behind one of the counters for cover]

[voidbreaker]

[ tsuru is still ignored. as shown by me forgetting this comment, whoops.



like.


can he sit without moving his foot? he can't. fuck.



the bunny is now sprawled out. ]

[coastal]

You're also a very rushed instructor.

[she would leave akira a bad review on yelp if she knew what that was]

This is how you dance in your - kingdom? Country? [?????]

[disreguarded]

That is super not reassuring, Phoenix.

Did you talk to all of them?

[coastal]

[there's an entire cat kingdom in akayona but lili wasn't around for that arc so she can't make a comment on it]

Evidently not.

Anyway, Kazakiri doesn't talk.

[circling back to his question she never really answered]

[survivaltricks]

Country? . . . world?

[hm]

It's not the only type of dance we have back home, but it is the easiest to do with two people.
