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.

Country? . . . world?

[hm]

It's not the only type of dance we have back home, but it is the easiest to do with two people.
coastal: (✧ a visitor? for me?)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-08 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Is this how you dance at festivals?

[admittedly festival dances are the ones that lili actually likes]

Or... Galas?
survivaltricks: (pic#13102157)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-08 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Noooot festivals.

[those are usually way more casual]

And not at regular parties or clubs, either. But galas, or fancy parties? This is definitely the dance of choice.

[brb twirling her now]
coastal: (✧ actually cute face oh)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-08 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[regular? ?parties?? ??clubs???

there's almost visible question marks above lili's head as she goes with the twirl - but weirdly enough that's probably the part she's been most comfortable with in their dance]


Oh - again!

[she's not even leading]
survivaltricks: (pic#13004392)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-08 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Again?

[he can see the question marks on her face, but!! if that's what she wants, then he will hold his hand up above their heads to twirl her a second time. twirl twirl!]
coastal: (✧ i'm the whole cake)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-08 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[TWIRL TWIRL

but she seems to at least be pleased that her direction was taken into account, expression lightening up just a bit even as she returns to the original dance position - ]


Kouka's dances are more like that - especially as the livelier festivals.

If this is a stuffy type of dance, I rather think I would've hated it regardless.

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-08 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[a light laugh]

Yeah, it's not really my thing, either. But things get much livelier the. . . ah, less fancy they get.

[HE THINKS, ANYWAY?]

[idk he actually doesn't do fancy events]
coastal: (✧ like i write what i sing)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-08 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
They do! Common people really know the best ways to live.

[OH, THOSE COMMON FOLK,]
survivaltricks: (pic#13102122)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-08 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[OH THOSE COMMON FOLK???]

. . . you say that like someone who isn't used to "common living."
coastal: (✧ pokes a squirrel)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-08 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[like she just. forgot to mention. which she did.]

An Lili - daughter of the General of the Water Tribe. [and since that doesn't mean much on its own] Of the Four Great Tribes that rule over Kouka Kingdom.

... technically, I think I still have my rank.

[t

technically]
survivaltricks: (pic#13006318)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-08 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . teeeeeechnically?

[twirls her again as he asks that, because timing is bad]
coastal: (✧ ngl i rather like the sound of that)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-08 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[twirled!!

and then, as if commenting on the weather:]


Well, I was exiled.
survivaltricks: (pic#13004405)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-08 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaaaaaah.

[she puts it so casually that he can't help but keep his own response super casual and nonchalant]

Whyyyyyy?
coastal: (✧ i see it; i like it)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-08 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[his

reaction is so close to making her laugh. she pulls her hand off his shoulder then to cover her mouth so it's not obvious]


For committing crimes against my father? Stealing a national treasure to seize command of our troops to do what he was too much of a coward to? Capital punishment would've looked bad?
survivaltricks: (pic#13102087)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-08 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[h. . . hm]

What a rebellious personality. . .

[he is definitely awed by how brazen she seems, but also. seizing command of troops. . . hm. hm!!!]
coastal: (✧ that's strange)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-08 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[was it a compliment

anyway, it's not like she's a rebel without a cause - ]


The alternative was letting innocent people suffer and my lands be further poisoned, so obeying sounded stupid and irresponsible.
survivaltricks: (pic#13004419)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-08 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . . aha. some part of him relaxes at hearing that, because it's much better than what he was thinking. still, he hadn't pegged her as the bloodthirsty sort at all, so. part of him feels kind of bad for being worried about it]

Mmm. You're not wrong.

And it takes courage to do what you think is right when it directly opposes someone you care about.
coastal: (✧ wobblin' around in your high heel shoe)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-08 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[that manages to get her to pause a little bit, as if surprised. despite how many times she says this, she's not sure what to do when people actually compliment for it]

... I just wish I was faster to do it.

[ANYWAY,]

I'm tired of talking about me. What about you?

[that's the most vague conversation opener of all time]
survivaltricks: (pic#13006349)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-08 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[he almost huffs an amused laugh at how quickly she changes the subject]

Oh, I'm nothing special. Just an average high school kid in an average city.

[but the cheeky way he says that makes it clear he isn't being serious]
coastal: (✧ the princess has arrived)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-09 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Oh please.

[though she doesn't seem like she minds that much]

Go ahead. You can boast. I'll allow it this once.
survivaltricks: (pic#13008355)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-09 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not the boasting type.

[he is more of a show off than a boaster. actions are louder than words!!]
coastal: (✧ that's strange)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-09 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Really....

[she

finds this so hard to believe for some reason]
survivaltricks: unless otherwise stated (pic#12975849)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-09 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . what? Really.

[EXCUSE!!]
coastal: (✧ pokes a squirrel)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-09 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[she would shrug if they weren't dancing]

If you say so.
