WEEK ZERO: MINGLE

[gatonina]

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.

weekly tasks;
[ if you don't think giyuu will attempt to do all the tasks then you don't know him very well and that's just fine. sure, we all think that we're going to be murdered by the end of the week but maybe this is something that will help? who really knows... ]

task 1; this kitchen will be spotless

[ giyuu isn't particularly an overly fastidious person but he is a tidy person. so, he'll be already at it—cleaning the kitchen, at least. either way, come help him out or come make a mess to make him mad. it's fine? though, if you're here to make a mess, he'll be here to set things straight. he's here to get things done. ]

I can clean the cabinets.

[ because no one really cleans those, right? ]

task 2; even more sharing

[ how...does a person just start up a conversation about themselves. also, how ironic that one of the tasks is to get to know another person better. someone is laughing at him and giyuu has been pretty open about things but. he's going to make an effort and that's all that's important. no one can judge him if he does his best, right?

cue him walking up to you with the most plain greeting known to man: ]

Hello.

[ please be kind; he doesn't know how to social skill very well. ]

task 3; care to dance?

[ so all of the previous tasks have been benign enough and giyuu has no problems with any of this, but the last one. this....one.... dancing.... does giyuu dance? i have no idea but he's going to look uncomfortable as humanly possible at the idea of it but, at the same time, determined to get it done.

why? if you don't think giyuu wouldn't put up with a little discomfort to get things like this done then you're heavily mistaken. except, well, the problem of him actually being able to communicate that he wants to dance is an entire beast that he doesn't know how to tackle.

so, uh, sorry if he's just kind of looking at you as thought he wants to say something even though nothing seems to be actively coming out of his mouth. ]

wildcard;
[ i'm here. come for me. ]

[vigilantics]

[ ah.

steph waits a few seconds, to see if there is anything else he is going to say. when nothing else comes, she raises a hand to

wave? at him? ]

Hello.

[baori]

[ steph please be kind to him...

and he'll nod at her in response to the wave. he seems to be floundering a bit but he's going to give an attempt. some sort of attempt. ]

I'm sorry am not good with these things.

[ clearly he's trying to get the second task started but. you know. how do you start conversations. ]

[vigilantics]

... is this about the tasks?

[ that seems like the most obvious reason someone might approach a stranger here. ]

Wanna do one then?

[wowcool]

Hello, senpai.

[He beams as Giyuu walks close, though the smile turns into a curious look when he continues to be silent.]

You need something?

[baori]

[ the smile earns him a nod as a response—his more typical greeting. he states his intentions quite simply. ]

I wanted to talk.

[wowcool]

[A pause.]

[And then:]

WOW!!! Cool!!! Senpai wants to talk!! Let's talk, then! What about?

[axilium]

[...]

Am I about to be punched right now?

[baori]

[ ....


???? ]

...why would I punch you?

3

[slobjection]

Hm? Something on my face?

[ he knows he's beautiful, giyuu, but you don't have to stare! ]

[baori]

[ he'll still be staring but once phoenix starts talking he'll instinctively look away. if talking was bad asking someone to dance is even worse. again, does giyuu even dance but— ]

No.

[ help him phoenix. ]

1 kitchen

[ruffboi]

I'll help!

[Grabbing a carton of juice and just. Pouring it on the floor?]

[baori]

[ SHUTS ALL OF MY EYES........

giyuu will stop everything that he is doing and just stare at magnus and the mess on the floor. he.

he has no idea what is happening. what is he witnessing??? ???? hello???? no words come to mind and is just angrily looking at him like he not only pour juice all over the floor but grew another head. ]

[unpredicktable]

[ dick raises a hand in greeting ]

Hey?

[ ... is giyuu going to say anything else ]

[baori]

[ and giyuu responds with a brief bow of his head. he isn't going to be completely stiff since they have spoken before and he heard a few things about him from escha so— ]

Do...you wish to talk?

[ it's still bad. look, he tried. ]

2ish

[wisterin]

[ this dumb binch......

Shinobu probably sees him greet someone like an idiot and waits until he's done conversing before she does that thing where she pops up behind someone. You know what I mean. ]

You're still terrible at talking with people.

[ what's being kind haha ]

[baori]

[ shinobu kocho, the insect pillar and nice to literally anyone else in this entire game except giyuu. ...just what he deserves. that said, he only tilts his head to a side as he turns to look (down) at her for a moment before turning away. ]

How else should I speak?

[ and if he doesn't talk to people then he can't get better? something like that. there are huge attempts being made on giyuu's side and everyone (so far) has been kind to him. ]

2!

[okitactless]

[It's alright, Yasusada doesn't bite. Probably? Maybe.

...Look, he's just smiling brightly, it's fine.]

Hello! I'm Yamatonokami Yasusada. [A little bow, even, because he can in fact be polite.] What's your name?

[baori]

[ BLESS YAMS. THE HERO IN THIS THREAD.

but the greeting is fine and he responds to the bow with one of his own, far less of a bow than it is a short nod. ]

Tomioka Giyuu.

[ he pauses for a while because, uh, he was supposed to say something after this right? it's been a while since he has had to do this so... ]

It's...nice to meet you.

3,

[givethemhell]

[i also offer myself as sticky tribute BUT FOR NOW, WEI WUXIAN JUST. Stares back. To be fair, Giyuu has good reason to stare, since Wei Wuxian is just crouched down on the ground near a partially dug up hole, looking at what appears to be a glass jar full of floating fruit??

Hm. He pats it fondly.]

—It's not ready to drink yet, sorry! But if you'd like, you can share the first cup with Belph and I.

[baori]

[ please let them get stuck together for an hour; it would please me to no ends. though, yeah, glad to see wwx doing whatever he is doing. honestly, giyuu might have an idea what he is doing—the vaguest idea of what he is doing. however, it's definitely going to be one of those things that he wants to know from the source.

forget dancing?? what are you doing?? ]

What do you mean drink?

[hydrogenetic]

[There's a slow blink when Giyuu approaches, and while his attention initially was on his dog that's running around somewhere he's now focused on Giyuu instead.]

--hey dude. I don't think I ever got your name when we first met. [It's okay, Percy can be social enough for both of them.]

[baori]

[ they can totally look for that dog later because giyuu will be thankful that percy is stepping up to plate when he is unable to do much with it. ]

Tomioka Giyuu. I don't think I got your's either.

[ because that's fair...and conversing. ]

task 2

[concasse]

[By now, Sanji's seen those stupid tasks and decides he might as well be a good sport about it all. The kitchen one is RIGHT UP HIS ALLEY because fuck all of y'all, he trusts no one in to clean it right, not even his fellow cooks, but before he can make off for that area, a complete stranger is chatting him up.

Bah.

... Oh fine]

Yo.

[THIS IS OFF TO A GREAT START]

[baori]

[ WHAT A WONDERFUL START, but it's fine because that attitude goes completely unnoticed by giyuu. people are rude or rough to him all of the time. also it's not as though giyuu is a master of conversation and simply just wants to get things over with in the name of the tasks at hand. ]

Do you have some time to talk?

[ given how ""busy"" all of them are at this point, giyuu has his doubts but it's always worth to ask or something like that. his game has taught him terrible ways to deal with people. ]
