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.

[ she nudges him with her shoulder. ]

Okay, so - shenanigans only allowed on Thursday, then, got it. [ she's ready to burn her fingers more, also? she will not stop. ]

[slobjection]

I think you mean Wednesday.

[ it's monday, beau!!! ]

[ also phoenix demonstrates the roasting technique without getting his fingers burned. ]

[disreguarded]

[ me forgetting i didn't set this part on tuesday ]

Like I fucking know what day it is. [ she shoves a marshmallow in her face. ] Are you gonna do the tasks?

[slobjection]

Sure, why not? All it'd hurt is my back from all the back-breaking cleaning...

[ shut up, phoenix. ]

How about you? Feeling up to the task?

[disreguarded]

[ snort. ]

Yeah, I'm gonna make people dance with me tomorrow. Even if that's the one Winter wants us to do. [ guess who got mad at winter ] I wasn't going to clean, but I'll do it to save your creaky-ass old bones, I guess.

[slobjection]

Not a fan of our new blue host?

[ presidential alert: the girls are fighting!!! ]

I appreciate it. [ he almost makes a joke about dying here but manages to reign himself in ]

[disreguarded]

[ thank god, she would've had to pretend to be okay about it and forced a joke and nobody wants that ]

Not really, no. I don't know, they're just - there's something about the way they talk that makes me mad.

[slobjection]

[ he's having character development ]

How so?

[disreguarded]

Like - putting words in my mouth, or assuming shit about me that isn't true. [ or just reacting to beau being an asshole like a normal person ]

[slobjection]

Maybe they know more about us than they're letting on.

[disreguarded]

That is super not reassuring, Phoenix.

Did you talk to all of them?

[slobjection]

Briefly.

[ if she's expecting him to say more than that, she will be very disappointed ]

[disreguarded]

[ ... a long sigh. ]

Sometimes I expect to get actual answers out of you, and I have no idea why I do that.

[slobjection]

Not much to tell. Just said hi.

[ no need for the callous, beau!! ]

[disreguarded]

[ then tell her that in the first place, phoenix!! ]

They seem like they really believe that nothing's going to happen.

[slobjection]

[ what's the fun in that ]

The layout's a little foreboding despite all that.

[disreguarded]

Yeah. Did you see the like, jail cell cabin up in the woods? Sure, that's totally a thing you have in a camp where nothing bad's going to happen.

[slobjection]

Surrounded by fog, at that.

[disreguarded]

I kind of wanna go into the fog to see what happens.

[ a beat. ] Also remove the scrunchie, but Huaisang told me he'd have a heart attack if I did, so I haven't yet.

[slobjection]

I'm with Sangy on this one.

No wandering into the fog, either.

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

[disreguarded]

[ she stares him directly in the eye and slowly... reaches for her own scrunchie. ]

[slobjection]

[ makes very deliberate eye contact. ]

No.

[disreguarded]

[ she's going to do it anyway - but it occurs to her that he might take the beanie back if she does, so she just frowns and drops her hand. ]

You never let me do anything fun for science.

[slobjection]

[ yeah beanie privileges would absolutely be revoked ]

It's not fun or scientific when you get maimed or killed.

[disreguarded]

It probably wouldn't kill me.

[ there's a stupid part of her that wriggles happily about the fact that he cares enough to tell her not to do it. she firmly ignores that part and huffs: ] I'm not going to take it off.
