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.

self isolation

[fishingforcompliments]

[This is a good place to decompress! Which is why Asch will hear the door opening. Flayn's here for a little peace and quiet, and she seems surprised to see him.]

Oh! I am sorry. I did not realize this cabin was occupied.

[survivaltricks]

[COFFEE SIP]

[he ain't moving folks]

b

[machinetranslation]

Oh!

[Threepio holds up his hands in half-surprise, half-surrender. But the person running at him doesn't seem to be intending anything bad.]

I'm happy to assist you with any of those, sir. Although I'm afraid I'm not built for dancing.

[survivaltricks]

[he is trying to pet her!! it may be difficult because she is moving but he is trying!!!]

You can't scold a dog for wanting attention, can you?

[fishingforcompliments]

[Flayn is having a very good time. She watches him attentively and repeats the moves, then nods to herself at his final instruction.

Time to run through the dance, shake her hips like she's using a hula hoop, and shout—]

Magnus invented this!

[survivaltricks]

Like a name tag? I like it.

[so everyone will know!!]

What sort of things does she like, other than rabbit treats?

ii.

[ruffboi]

[C3PO probably didn't approach Magnus for this one? So let's say while he's giving this speech to someone else, Magnus approaches him from behind. Resting a hand gently on his arm.

Which may or may not stick . . . ?]

Hey, pal!

[survivaltricks]

. . . what? Really.

[EXCUSE!!]

[survivaltricks]

I wouldn't call it "celebrated" but everyone loves winter fashion. Turtlenecks are pretty popular, too.

[are they]

[are they</I.]

[survivaltricks]

Yeah. I will.

[at least there is that!!]

And I'll do that as soon as I can, come hell or high water.

a

[fishingforcompliments]

A delicious meal, I hope!

[or maybe immunity from being murdered that week. but that's a little morbid, so she won't suggest it.]

[machinetranslation]

[Threepio pipes up helpfully]

A "home" doesn't necessarily need to be where you've come from, sir. It can be any place where you feel welcome or comfortable. Or with a group of people you feel a sense of belonging with. Do you have such place as that instead?

[survivaltricks]

. . . I'm more worried about it staining clothing. . .

[sits up]

[tugs at his ketchup and mustard covered shirt]

[he should've thought of that first]

tasks

[fishingforcompliments]

[She doesn't seem to realize that he's staring, because she's quite intently reading the tasks over. It's only when she looks away from them and happens to catch his eye - quite by mistake! - that she realizes he was.]

I would not mind. Which do you think would be most difficult? Perhaps it would be wisest to get that out of the way first.

tasks

[ruffboi]

[Oh, it's an awkward kid! Time to bully him!]

Already done! You're still on the old task list?

[fishingforcompliments]

Good! Hopefully you will not have to wait long to be able to do that.

[Just seven weeks and counting..........]

iii

[fishingforcompliments]

[Well, that's a wake-up call.

Flayn answers the door, because it seems that she will not know a moment's peace if she does not. C-3PO is just doing his best, truly.]

I assure you, I have had no contact with any such creatures.

[ruffboi]

[He's so proud. Wiping away a pretend tear on his eye. While doing another macarena himself.]

Magnus invented this!!

Perfect! Now, go teach all your friends!

[survivaltricks]

Exactly.

Through the power of bullshit, movie makers can make anything seem real.

[survivaltricks]

[uhuhu]

If it tastes that good on its own, imagine how it'll taste with graham crackers and chocolate. Come on.

[back to the campfire they go]

[vigilantics]

That's fine. It's always good to learn a new skill!

[ you never know when dancing will come in handy, after all.

but she hums, trying to think of something that won't require touching... aha. ]

I am going to show you the macarena.

[survivaltricks]

[incidentally one of those two talked about Kara to him!! and he figured out who Kara was by matching profile pictures]

Tsurumaru told me a little about you. It's nice to meet you; I'm Akira.

[fishingforcompliments]

I most certainly will!

[whoever next gets a dancing thread with me is learning the magnurena.]

[ruffboi]

[Doing a startled yell right back!]

Perfect! Anyway, nice to meet you. I'm Magnus. What's your name?

task 3

[ruffboi]

[He's just happening upon this awkward young man, trying to dance by himself and failing. Clearly all Asch needs is a little confidence?]

Haha, that sucks!
