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.

Well... It just means I won't be a very good dance partner.

But that still counts as completing the task, right? Even if I'm bad?

[survivaltricks]

What makes a "good" dancer, anyway?

[more finger wagging]

I think what matters most is whether you have fun or not.

[axilium]

Sure, why not?

[ Escha is watching people build the pen... Even though she looks antsy to help them... But she can't, because the only help she would usually be would be gathering and synthesizing materials, and she can't do that here.

So she's just shifting her weight from foot to foot impatiently. ]

... Do you think it's sturdy enough?

[applechemist]

Practice, probably.

[ ... Ah... She answered the question completely sincerely.]

But I'll do my best?

[ And so, she takes his hand. ]

[overruns]

Just wooden swords and the like. [ or foam, but he doesn't know what that is ] I don't think live steel is a good idea considering... everything, but I would like to continue my training routines if possible.

[applechemist]

[ Escha comes over to stand beside him and sighs. It might be a bit theatrical, though. ]

I've had enough dancing for a while. Maybe we can knock out a different assignment?

[wowcool]

Haha, very well. I think having a reward makes tasks all the more easier.

[He glances over to the stovetop, before nodding...and then his eyebrows furrow.]

Sure, but...what should I clean it with? You do it with a sponge and soap and water, right? Is that right?

[fishingforcompliments]

[bonfire party!!]

Hello, 45!

[she never minds talking with one of her roommates, so. time to settle down for a chat!]

Shall we get straight to it and discuss our homes, or would you like to work up to it first?

[survivaltricks]

[a soft snort of amusement as his fingers curl around her hand so he's holding it in a waltz position. his other comes to rest at her waist!!]

Something simple, then. A bit stuffy, but it's the easiest dance to accomplish with two people.

[LITTLE DOES HE KNOW THEIR HANDS ARE NOW SEALED]

[applechemist]

Yeah, with... Huh?

[ A....... Anaido. ]

Have you never cleaned a kitchen before?

[wowcool]

[He shrugs.]

Maybe? I don't remember. Have...have I ever had a kitchen...?

[AMNESIA SUCKS, KIDS]

[baori]

[ as a cat owner enjoys watching their cat struggle when they have tape on their paw. ...he'll give up eventually. there's still a little bit left on his fingers but nothing that he can't and won't ignore. instead he'll eye the ingredients that surround them. ]

People certainly came prepared.

[ he'll take some time to familiarize himself with the crackers and definitely make sure that the chocolate there is the correct chocolate. ]

Did you enjoy them?

[overruns]

[ He breaks off pieces of each, though this is basically just him mixing contextless ingredients together. I hate ye oldes. At least he can follow instructions. ]

Mm, so— [ He's just gonna... smush the marshmallow between them. ] What sort of dish is this supposed to make?

[applechemist]

[ She doesn't know? Where to put her free hand?? ]

No, I like things like this. It seems like it would be the most useful kind of dance to learn.

[applechemist]

You don't... Remember something like that?

... Are you alright?

[wowcool]

Well, yes. Of course. I have amnesia, you see.

[Like, as causally as saying "this blue hair of mine makes me look like Sonic the Hedgehog".]

So, I don't remember stuff like that. [A light shrug.] Ahaha, it's...hard to deal with, sometimes.

[slobjection]

A traditional meal from the mystical land of Camplandia. Eat it with great reverence.

[ he sounds extremely serious ]

[survivaltricks]

[with an apologetic look he guides her hand to his shoulder (via her upper arm so NO TOUCHING SKIN) before he returns his to her waist]

I don't know about "useful," but it works for right now. Follow me, okay?

[it is WALTZ TIME]

[swordflash]

[ beau need only wave once. beckoned by her summons, zenitsu is by her side in a flash. ]

What is it?

[applechemist]

Oh... That sounds really difficult to deal with... [ She can't imagine! :( ]

Well - if you ever need help with anything, please let me know. I don't mind going out of my way a little bit if you need an extra hand.

[ ... ]

In the meantime... Yes. A sponge and soap and water should do the trick.

[wowcool]

Oh! You're very kind. [And his smile softens, appreciative.] Thank you.

[And a beat.]

I'm Anaido, by the way. At least I remember that, even if I don't know my full name, but...it's a pleasure, miss?

[axilium]

Too bad, you probably would've liked her.

[applechemist]

[ She's like: but what if there's a formal event for work! It could be useful then!

She follows his lead. She is a little clumsy, but not absurdly! ]

... It's too bad we don't have music.

[axilium]

Oh, one of those types.
