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.

[ dick knows akira is lying but does he care? no. ]

Well, it's a planet compose of 70% water and populated by humans on land and atlanteans in the sea.

[ well this already took a turn into wildly different ]

Tell me more about these atlanteans. As a human, I'm already intimately familiar with humanity as a species.

[he's rolling with it because you can't stop him. look what you started, Dick]

Nothing more convincing of someone being human than starting off a sentence with "as a human". [ shitposts aside: ] Well, if you don't know the story... Atlanteans were forced to adapt to life under the ocean surface when their continent sank. They used sorcery and science to allow for underwater breathing. Over time, they've evolved features similar to those of aquatic animals.

[ yes he does sound like he is talking about mermaids ]

Like gills and fish heads?

[BACKWARDS MERMAIDS 8D]

Soooometimes? Friend of mine has gills and webbing between his fingers.

[huh]

[he thought they were joking but now he's like oh, is Dick being serious???]

Oh.

. . . but no fish head?

[ it started off as a joke but then he got :? when akira didn't know atlanteans. why does no one else have atlanteans, this seems like a normal thing to have. ]

There's definitely fish heads. [ he is, unfairly, thinking of one person in particular. rip la'gann ] But they'd get pretty offended if you called it that.

[the fuck are atlanteans. he has never been that far out in the ocean]

Oh.

. . .

I guess I'm being culturally insensitive. But to be fair, I thought you were joking.

Started off as one. But it's pretty fascinating how many Earths there are, yet mine seems to be the only one with Atlantis.

[ if he ignores the other bats being from an au earth, which he is. ]

Well, it's not like I'm unfamiliar with Atlantis as a concept.

It's just a myth back home, though.

And real were I'm from. [ he shrugs ] Though they mostly keep to themselves, so it's not entirely common knowledge. Who knows, there might be a secret underwater city in your world, too.
