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.

[bittybat]

I would rather spend my energy figuring out how to leave.

If you're that angry, perhaps you should spend some of yours helping build the coop for the chickens.

[coastal]

I don't have anything to add.

[she admits that, and doesn't seem to care]

There's - plenty of them anyway.

[which she sounds decently surprised over. even between yin yu and magnus just being carpenters apparently]

[bittybat]

[stop this, he's so tired]

Everyone always has something to add.

[If this is supposed to sound uplifting in any way, it's not. To him. It's coming mostly from a place of extreme confidence--arrogance? He values his skills immensely, so of course other people should value their own? Please.]

Keep an eye on the fowl. I'm going to make sure they aren't building it inside out.

[damian: girl build your own chicken condo
also damian: i'm going to build this chicken condo]

As long as you don't add to the problem, it doesn't matter to me.

[bittybat]

[STOP. Why are all my characters like this?]

You could always come learn instead of simply letting the work get done for you.

[coastal]

I am learning - but wandering any closer would infringe on the space they actually need to build.

[for all the jokes that lili is supervising with a glass of lemonade for herself, she does seem to be paying attention to what they're doing]

I've never built anything before and it'll waste time if I ask a bunch of questions in the middle of it. The chickens need a home sooner rather than later.

[bittybat]

Who said anything about you standing there and asking questions?

[He pauses to turn back and look at her, his chin up.]

Get your hands dirty. Or are you scared to do that because you're a girl...?

[coastal]

I see that waxing poetic like an old man doesn't change the fact that you are in fact as stupid as any other boy.

[goddamn]

[bittybat]

Tt. [This does not seem to offend him, or rile him up.] Is that a yes, or a no, An? Are you scared to get your hands dirty because you're a girl?

I'm waiting.

[coastal]

I hate to break it to you, but I don't particularly care if you're waiting.

[why is she so mean]

I'm neither scared nor unwilling - and if you underestimate girls, I'm rather sure you're going to get destroyed by one.

[bittybat]

If she can do it, so be it.

[she's mean but damian is also mean, they are just the same person almost]

That's all you had to say. If you are neither scared nor unwilling, then shut up and come on. I'll show you how to build one in a way you won't have to ask any questions at all.

[coastal]

[she rolls her eyes, and she's not going to put down her armful of chicken, but she's going to just wander closer]

Proceed.

[why does she still sound like she's giving orders]

[bittybat]

Put the chicken down. You have to use your hands. You're going to do it, not me.

[coastal]

Do you just enjoy taking up the mantle of instructor?

[bittybat]

Do you have a problem with that? I thought you said you weren't scared, or unwilling.

[coastal]

Your questioning didn't include whether I was particularly excited to be commanded by a child.

[bittybat]

If you weren't, you would still be standing several feet over holding a chicken with no knowledge of how to build their housing yourself for the future.
