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.

[ Vibe check.......... ]

Oh, that sounds pretty fun! So it's a game that little kids play?

[unpredicktable]

[ ........ ]

Not really. I don't think little kids can hit it that high.

[applechemist]

[ ....... But why would........ Grown-ups.......... Play......? When do they have the time??? ]

[unpredicktable]

You guys don't have competitive sports, do you?

[applechemist]

[ Slooowly shaking her head no. ]

Not that I know of... But I've seen places have eating contests?

[ so. you know. close? ]

[unpredicktable]

[ how do you have eating contests but no sports? dick looks so amused ]

Do adults participate in those?

[applechemist]

Yeah! [ but now that she thinks about it... ] But last time they wouldn't let me participate! That's so unfair.

[unpredicktable]

Huh. I've never known an eating competition to be picky on participant. Did they tell you why not?

[applechemist]

... Because I would win.

[ She seems a little embarrassed by that answer, but also? indignant? ]

Isn't that unfair? They even let Logy enter, but not me!

[unpredicktable]

Isn't that the point? To have a winner?

[ dick your competitive side is showing ]

[applechemist]

Right? Right?!

[unpredicktable]

Well, that just means they were afraid of any real competition. I promise, if we ever host a eating contest here, you'll be allowed to participate.

[applechemist]

That would be so much fun!

[unpredicktable]

We can try it sometime. I'm pretty sure a pie eating contest is a camp activity... somewhere.

[ he has no idea. ]

[applechemist]

Is it?

[ She also has no idea. ]

[unpredicktable]

Maybe? I've never actually been to a summer camp before. But it sounds like an easy, fun group activity, and I know they're all about those.

[applechemist]

Oh... You've never been camping before?

[ Escha does not. Know what summer camp is. ]

[unpredicktable]

[ he laughs a bit and gestures around them ]

A place like this is called a summer camp. It's usually a place for kids to go during the summer when they don't have school and their parents don't want them around.

[ dick, that's rude ]

[applechemist]

Why wouldn't their parents want them around?

[ That's horrible????? ]

[unpredicktable]

[ that was so genuine he feels bad? ]

Uh, you know... If they're busy with work themselves?

[applechemist]

Couldn't the kids just help with their work...?

[ some of her coworkers are children because jrpgs, so she does not see the issue. ]
