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.

ii i feel intense regret already but

Is there a reason you stuck that down your shirt?

we are in bread hell now my dudes

[givethemhell]

[He looks down at the bread in his shirt and back up at Belph.]

It holds the bread upright! That way I don't have to fish around for a new piece and risk getting jam all over everything - I can just reach straight in.

[He demonstrates by cleanly pulling a piece of bread out! Which he then holds to Belph. Take it.]

[axilium]

[he take sit...]

I guess that is weirdly efficient.

[givethemhell]

[There's a method to his madness, usually!! Take that cultivation world.]

See? It gets more efficient the messier your hands are, too! Though I suppose it's best not to risk getting jam anywhere at all, considering we're meant to be cleaning this place up and not dirtying it further.

[axilium]

I mean, there's no rule saying we have to be the ones to clean up immediately after our messes.

[givethemhell]

You're not wrong about that! Actually, wouldn't we be helping out by leaving a mess behind? Then others from that group could finish their task, too!

[axilium]

We'd be doing a community service, really!

[givethemhell]

Hm... So, the plan - snack, make a mess, clean it up, make another mess! Yes?

[No????]

[axilium]

Not too sure if I want to help with the cleaning, but the rest of it sounds good to me!

[sweats]

[givethemhell]

Haha, the sort who causes messes without cleaning them up?

[He seems more amused than not, though... Shit's funny. THAT'S HIM MOST DAYS.]

Fair enough! Here - some jam for your bread?

[axilium]

I think of delegating it to those better suited for it.

[jam!!]


Thank you kindly.

[givethemhell]

[DELEGATING THE CLEAN UP. God who is this man.]

Of course! Ah - I noticed there's a little bit of proper alcohol circulating around, too. Maybe we won't need our wine after all?

[He's gonna drink it anyway, though.]

[axilium]

Eh, it's always good to have a backup. We already went through all that effort.

[THEIR WINE FERMENTING IN THE GROUND SOMEWHERE]

[givethemhell]

[SOMETIMES HE JUST GOES TO CHECK ON IT LIKE IT'S A SPROUT...]

True enough! Ah, besides, it really is hard to beat something homemade when it comes to alcohol. I think all of the best and strongest brews came from someone's backyard.

[axilium]

Unfortunately, I wouldn't know. I had to get all my drinks from the bar like a loser.

[givethemhell]

[OH, BELPH. He just laughs, waving his spoon.]

Then you'll be in for a treat this time! It won't be as good as wine made from fresh mountain fruit, and we can't possibly wait long enough for it to ferment properly, but it's as good a start as any.

[axilium]

Fresh mountain fruit? Do you usually climb mountains for your drinks?

[givethemhell]

Oh, no, not at all. I'd go into the city if I wanted to go anywhere at all for a drink! No, I lived on a mountain for a while, that's all.

[He lived in the fuckin elephant graveyard.]

[axilium]

You do seem like the kind of guy who holes himself up in mountains and then swoops down in the middle of the night to terrorize people with spiced drinks.

[givethemhell]

Hah! Coming down the mountainside to spice the drinks of anyone who leaves theirs unattended, hm? That sounds like it would be a fun profession.

[PROFESSIONAL WHAT, EXACTLY.]

[axilium]

You'd be providing a community service.

[givethemhell]

I feel like the people who don't like spiced drinks may disagree, for some reason.

[NO PARTICULAR REASON...]

[axilium]

You're teaching them not to leave their drinks unattended. Someone more unsavoury could drug them with something worse, after all.

[givethemhell]

Ah, now you do have a point, there! You could be a good, ah, what was it-- a lawyer?

[Belph for Wei Wuxian's attorney 2020.]

[axilium]

[that sure was a cursed line you just typed]

Please, I don't have the patience to stand around in court or whatever it is lawyers do.
