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.

I see! And they're surely good for fending off vampire attacks, too.

[WHY IS THAT A CONCERN.]

You'll have to teach me more about these fashions of yours, friend! I want to learn as much as I can about all of these other worlds while we're all still here and in one piece.

[ie he wants to have a good time before they inevitably start fuckin dying and get banished to the shadow realm...]

[applechemist]

Not as common as other kinds of monsters. But they're not super rare. I think.

I hear there are more of them out in the areas affected by dusk, though.

[slobjection]

What do I have to do to unlock your heart?

[ the toast is ready...... ]

[survivaltricks]

. . . do you have vampires back where you come from?

[they have blood runes vampires seems legit]

And I would, but I think our resources are really limited.

[they have their one canon outfits and then just. a bunch of camp gear]

[bittybat]

That wouldn't matter to him. He wanted the world to live as it did in ancient times. In tribes, like the one he was born into. Nomads. Living off the land in small clusters, or moving. Hunting and gathering.

[Damian's face is thin as he stares into the fire, lips frowning.]

Except he wanted to be at the center. A leader is what he thought, but it would have been a dictatorship. He was called the Demon's Head. The leader of an organization of assassins.

[givethemhell]

[HE LOVES IT WHEN CATS DO THE THING who doesn't honestly. He laughs brightly when Pennyworth moves to make a grab for his hand, quickly spidering his fingers across the stovetop to the cat's left.]

Oh! [Hm. BAT BROTHERS...] I see, I see. Do the two of you get along well?

[SOMETIMES. BROTHERS DON'T GET ALONG!! He doesn't want to misstep.]

[slobjection]

I'm with Sangy on this one.

No wandering into the fog, either.

[ don't get any ideas, beau!! ]

[applechemist]

I don't know about that...! Alchemists that rely on technology can still be amazing!

[ L... Logy...!!! ]

I... [ Hrm. Feels bad to call herself talented? ] I just learned from my mom, that's all. But - yes. I'm working hard to be a great alchemist that anyone can rely on.

[slobjection]

I appreciate the concern.

[ very seriously. ]

[givethemhell]

As long as they're not haunted video games, I'll look forward to it! Hah, we had a-- an... hm. Ah! An arcade, yes - we had one of those, but the games were horrible.

[Sometimes you play a shooter game and the zombies in it bite you in real life.]

[shortfornow]

[ he has ONE WHOLE LEGGY FREE.

He's looking like a wet cat as he sighs. ]

Maybe we should just head to the showers.

[applechemist]

Yeah! [ but now that she thinks about it... ] But last time they wouldn't let me participate! That's so unfair.

[givethemhell]

[Instead of actually putting this tower away, he just sort of pushes it to the side so it's not at risk of falling off the counter or something. CLEAN-UP DONE.]

Ah? Are you sure you didn't set some sort of automatic cleaning spell to take care of it and then forgot you'd done that?

[SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING HE'D DO... In the meantime he'll mosey over to take a look into the sink and see how bad the damage is. He did come here to clean, but also, he is lazy.]

[slobjection]

Part of the ritual involves repeating the words "yumm-ay, yumm-ay, in my tumm-may" before or after you consume the dish.

[ with an entirely straight face. ]

Comes with getting old.

[givethemhell]

[thanks dick you're a true pal. REACHING FOR CEREAL.

He will promptly begin to pick the marshmallows out and eat them first.]

It was a compliment, so that's a fair interpretation! [He says, with the kind of gremlin grin that speaks to the contrary. It's all gentle teasing, though. How else does one cope??]

My! Thank you, thank you - what a kind thing to say. We do have to create our own entertainment where we can, after all!

[slobjection]

[ alscha elric ]

Then it just pops out, fully formed? Interesting....

[okitactless]

[WHY IS THEIR CABIN TERRIBLE.

But Yasusada nods, pushing back his sleeves.]

Alright, do you have the materials?

[givethemhell]

[it's getting worse and worse]

It is if you drink enough! [Because then you don't care about how messy the dancing gets!!

But ah, a fellow ancient dad... Kinship. He grins and laughs, spinning to avoid an ember that's sticking a bit further out of the fire than the rest.]

Have a few grey hairs yourself, is it?

[bittybat]

Tt.

[STOP. Don't find that endearing. Don't say a word. He's a badass? HE'S BAD. He's beating up criminals to save animals. Among other things.]

Yes. [(dick voice) why does dad let YOU get away with everything what the hell] I would have brought her home even if they said no.

The cave needed a cow anyway.

[okitactless]

It still got wet...

[It. Sure did that.]

What did you do, anyway?

[givethemhell]

You'd think not, right? How could there possibly be anything under the sun that escapes those four thousand rules! They even have rules against things like running and talking too loud or talking at all during mealtimes.

[Imagine Wei Wuxian trying to survive in a place like that...]

[applechemist]

[ she looks disappointed in him ]

[survivaltricks]

[hey]

Are you judging me?

[applechemist]

... I think it likes you.

[unpredicktable]

[ adorable. anyway, there's a tilt to his head that says the cave absolutely did not need a cow, what the hell, but he nods like this makes perfect sense ]

You did say she matches the decor. [ because of the bat symbol. ] So Bat-cow, Pennyworth the cat... What's Titus, then?
