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.

[muragas]

Yeah! I mean, what else are we supposed to clean up otherwise?

[ haha, what miraculously appearing mess? :) ]

[applechemist]

You could just wait for someone to cook and leave some dishes behind.

[ Escha's tail stands up! ]

But just making a mess... That's like giving yourself twice the chores!

[muragas]

But if I wait for someone else to cook, I wouldn't have any say in what they made.

[ or any samples :( ]

Besides, isn't cleaning up after someone else way worse than cleaning up after yourself?

[applechemist]

Is it...? I always find it easier to clean up after other people. It feels like I'm helping. When I clean up after myself, I'm just bored...

[ Hmm... ]

Maybe I could dirty up the kitchen cooking something for you?

[muragas]

Oh, but I don't want to force you to make something if you weren't going to...

[ impositions are not allowed! ]

[applechemist]

I would rather make a mess cooking than make a mess for nothing.

[muragas]

[ hmmm

hmmmmmmmmmmm! ]

Alright, Escha-chan, you win. The kitchen is yours! What do you want to make? I'll do my best to help out.

[ and sneak nibbles of everything ]

[applechemist]

Hmm... What sounds good to you?

I'd like something sweet, but if you want a healthy meal, I could do that instead.

[muragas]

Sweet can be healthy! Like fruit tarts! That's got a serving of fruit, after all.

[ just as healthy as ketchup ]

[applechemist]

You're so right!

[ Escha is successfully and immediately convinced! Yeah, fruit tarts are healthy!! YEAH!!! And so she starts getting out the ingredients and materials which I'm too lazy to really look into or write out. ]

[muragas]

[ yeah!!!! and Minako will watch for a few minutes before she gets bored and grabs a knife and some fruit ]

Here, let me help. I can start cutting these.

[ watching someone cook... isn't very fun ]

[applechemist]

Thanks, that'll help.

[ Just kind of. Idly chatting, here. ]

I've been cooking so much these past weeks... Way more than usual.

[muragas]

You usually don't, Escha-chan? How come? It really seems like you know what you're doing.

[ just shootin' the breeze while she slices some strawberries, as one does. ]

[applechemist]

I like cooking, but it takes so much time so I usually just use alchemy instead.

But they're kind of similar, in the end.

[muragas]

... You can alchemy up food?

[ huh ]

Do you use the normal ingredients you'd use if you were cooking the dish normally, or do you use different stuff? Like... I don't know. Rusty soup ladles.

[applechemist]

[ Escha nods at the first part.

Then laughs. ] You wouldn't add something like a kitchen tool. Especially a rusty one! But the ingredients are a little bit more flexible... Cooking is exact, and alchemy kind of is, too... But once you know what substitutions you can use, it's more flexible.

I think. [ Hm, it's hard to explain. ]
