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.

[each time belph somehow says things that distract lili from the fact that she needs to beat him up]

He - was in your castle?

[it's slowly clicking how belph could've known him]

He's not here? Is he alright?

[axilium]

Well, he died, and then he continued to annoy everyone from the great beyond with letters and being a busybody. But he seemed happy enough at the end—I think he went back to his own world?

[coastal]

He is rather grotesque.

[that is such a strong word, lili]

.... good. He has somewhere important to be. That's the first I'd heard of someone from Kouka also getting caught up in this...

[axilium]

He didn't mention you, but maybe he was too busy living his best life to think of your name.

[coastal]

[surprisingly easily:]

He wouldn't. I'm not someone who...

[ . . . well, anyway]

It's more of his duty to be on guard for Yona. Did he mention anyone else he knew being there?

[axilium]

Not that I heard of.

[belph did not ever talk about yona with jae-ha according to my email notifs search, so. oblivious!]

[coastal]

[lili stands to be oblivious another day but i also like jan forgetting that gi-gan and soo-won were in grimm]

That's a relief... It'd be odd to return home and suddenly have to discuss all this with them.

[axilium]

[IN MY DEFENCE THEY DIED EARLY]

—Oh, wait. Gi-gan, there was Gi-gan.

[i truly do not know if jae-ha ever mentioned knowing soo-won especially since you were not around that trial apparently]

[coastal]

[HILARIOUSLY,]

... I don't know a Gi-gan....

[BELPH ISN'T MENTIONING THE TWO OTHER AKAYONAS LILI WOULD KNOW AND IT'S SO FUNNY]

Oh well, it must not matter.

[axilium]

Too bad, you probably would've liked her.

[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]

[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]

—oh. Maybe she was from Awa.

[oh politics]

Ah... to think that such a cool old lady was involved in that....

[she's got a new idol]

[axilium]

[yeah that means nothing to him]

Well, the more you know.

[coastal]

[she shakes her head]

Well, I do hope that they all managed to get home safely - you're from the setting that involved wishes, right?

[axilium]

Unless there's more than one that involved wishes, probably.

[coastal]

[she

seems to think about it actually]

I don't believe so...

Did the wishes actually come true?

[axilium]

[technically subd was wishes, it was just that none of the living besides jiji gave requests to shess when he was writing the universe]

Well, I'm stuck here, so who knows?

[coastal]

[lili didn't count it as wishes she counted it as 'shess do this']

So you only got them at the end...?

Yeah, I guess that Hikage guy was making a big deal of all that.

[axilium]

Hikage's like that.

[coastal]

[she

covers her mouth to obscure the urge to laugh]

I take it you know him well?

[axilium]

We're from the same place, aren't we?

[coastal]

That doesn't automatically mean you can confidently predict a person...

There were plenty of people in the village that I understood nothing about.

[axilium]

Hikage stands out. He was pretty helpful during trials [when he felt like it], for one.

[coastal]

[she hums thoughtfully]

He wasn't totally useless when I spoke to him on the bus... so I suppose that's not a surprise.
