WEEK ZERO: MINGLE

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.

[ sounds simple enough. he grabs a stick and skewers a marshmallow onto it, then rests the tip over the fire. ugh, it's kind of hot. the heat will be worth it, he's sure.

once the marshmallow looks sufficiently cooked, he blows on it before taking a chewy bite.

it's not like he doesn't know what marshmallows are, but getting to eat one like this is a new experience. ]

It's sweet!

[coastal]

That's what I think too, but they probably take issue with how... aggressive people can get.

[ookurikara

she's still thinking about her dumb sword]

[coastal]

Oh please.

[though she doesn't seem like she minds that much]

Go ahead. You can boast. I'll allow it this once.

[coastal]

[she tilts her head]

I would've? What was she like? I suppose I could find her when I'm home...

[just by saying 'her', lili's interested]

[applechemist]

They're... Fluffy?

[ .... She realizes that isn't helpful, and sort of gestures about waist-height. ] And about this tall. With big ears and poofy tails.

[coastal]

Why should I care about if you're happy?

[overruns]

I gave them away or...

[ He trails off, watching with rapt attention at. Whatever this is. There's no room for humor in these situations, and even if everything weren't tense and weird, he ought to keep it together because it'd be rude to laugh.

But it's... well it's kind of sad, isn't it? He can't quite stifle a chuckle, surprised. ]

You've been so competent, I'm grateful to see you're bad at something.

[baori]

[ yeah he'll see the gap in what she's saying verse what is happening but he's not going to comment about that directly. ]

If it's a task, wouldn't it be without guilt?

[ or, at least, that's what it sounds like to giyuu. it would be beneficial to both parties, right? ]

[coastal]

I don't have anything to add.

[she admits that, and doesn't seem to care]

There's - plenty of them anyway.

[which she sounds decently surprised over. even between yin yu and magnus just being carpenters apparently]

[coastal]

[she

gestures to yin yu and magnus]

If you have constructive criticism, I'm sure they'd be willing to hear you.

[she doesn't know shit about construction i'm sorry escha]

[vigilantics]

Then... oh! Would you like to dance?

[ she immediately goes to the non-easier option. i'm sorry. ]

[successives]

Sure thing.

[She gives her a thumbs up as she starts heading towards the kitchen.]

Shinobu, right?

[swordflash]

[ She's a smooth operator. ]

I don't know much about baking, but I can help once we're done cleaning. Just tell me what to do!

[unfriendliest]

[ not kara! he'll just be here, calmly feeding the bunnies and petting them! ]

[coastal]

Busting a...

[she wrinkles her nose, confused]

No? What does that have to do with dancing? You should get that checked.

[unpredicktable]

You've never heard of just saying hi? [ he's so tired, but he at least tries to make his sticky grip ... less... bruising. he does not take any blame otherwise :/ binch ]

[axilium]

Didn't speak with her much [because she died] but she was a tough-minded old lady? If I recall her correctly, her profile had... piracy, dealing with idiots, stepping on masochists, stopping human trafficking, and mom-ing everyone? Or something like that.

Sounds like it'd appeal to you.

[coastal]

[well....]

For court proceedings and festivals - but it doesn't sound like other people know the dances I do.

[coastal]

Do I want to keep talking to you or are you just going to start yelling about sex demons and causing a scene.

[applechemist]

[ Escha shakes her head. ]

No, I'm sure they're doing fine. I just feel like the materials are pretty raw. If I just had a cauldron to improve them...

[ ... She's used to min-maxing building equipment with alchemy. How will it contain chickens without a '+20 defense bonus' effect and 'sturdy' trait???? ]

[getdrekt]

[he nods, satisfied.]

Good. Then I'll tell you all about them. It's part of the task.

[successives]

Yeah. It's like they're asking, "who's ready for icebreakers before you inevitably bring out all the knives you stole"? No thanks.

[Anyways. Off to the kitchen they go!!]

[survivaltricks]

Can you blame me for trying to spice things up a bit?

[this is his punishment. also he's going to lower his hand so their arms are hanging between them so they don't get tired from holding them up all day]

I was going to offer you the bottle of water afterwards and everything.

[coastal]

You forgot you were a carpenter? Did you have amnesia too?

[of all the people who have things in common

she didn't see magnus and anaido being a combo]

[unpredicktable]

Doing the tasks for potential swag? [ that sounds like him ] Please tell me you've been serenading your new acquaintances as you dance.
