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.

[ he tilts his head right back. fair enough ] I meant more... what kind of ceremony? It'd inform your style of dance. Depending on cultures, ceremonial dances vary pretty wildly back home.
coastal: (✧ that's strange)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-09 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
It's almost always some kind of ceremony to the dragon gods...

[it's always dragons, babey]
unpredicktable: (i am not a child now)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-09 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Dragon gods?

[ dragons????????? ]
coastal: (✧ like i write what i sing)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-09 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
It's part of Kouka's creation myth.

King Hiryuu was a dragon god who chose to become a human, and ended up founding Kouka. There were four dragon other dragon gods who loved him, and begged him to come back to the skies once the humans started to turn against him. Instead, Hiryuu said he loved humanity too much to leave.

The dragon gods gave four warriors drops of their blood in order to grant them strength to protect King Hiryuu. Among the four tribes of Kouka, there's varying levels of devotion toward the dragons... but we are all familiar with their supposed existence.

[and lili knows yona so like. she knows it's... not quite a myth. but she can't imagine festivals to celebrate the current dragons they seem kinda weird]
unpredicktable: (all the world is made of faith)

[ have a dance party for jae-ha

dick looks pretty interested in the explanation, because being a bat means being a goddamn nerd, nodding along as lili talks ]


So the ceremonies should also vary depending on all four tribes, then, if their devotions do? At least in terms of grandeur if nothing else.
coastal: (✧ the princess has arrived)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-09 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[jae-ha would love a dance party]

That's right. The Water Tribe is mostly calm and serene, with plenty of garden parties and stuffy ceremonies. It's beautiful, if a bit stiff.

The Fire Tribe apparently parties for days on end - those sound infinitely more fun.
unpredicktable: ('cause i try)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-09 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
What about the other two?
coastal: (✧ a visitor? for me?)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-09 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
The Wind Tribe... does whatever they want...?

[they are so fucking strange, lili's not even touching that]

And the Earth Tribe has Lord Geun-tae, so I'm sure that their festivals are delightful!
unpredicktable: (doesn't matter where)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-09 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ huh. that's specific. ]

I'm guessing he's a pretty good lord?
coastal: (✧ SUPER KYAH KYAH)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-10 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[why do you make me write this]

Lord Geun-Tae is practically one of the only of the four Generals worth respecting! [LILI your FATHER] He's strong, handsome, cool, rebellious, and an inspiring leader both in war and out of it!

Ahh, the Earth Tribe is sooooo lucky!
unpredicktable: (si je savais ce que j'attends de toi)

[

teenage girls in love are a goddamn trip, sometimes, dick thinks, technically a teen himself ]


Wow. Sounds like the whole package. You're Water Tribe, so... is the Earth Tribe close by, that you know him that well?
coastal: (✧ and not strings)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-10 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Our tribes are technically neighbors.

[that said she's out of fangirl mode so,]

So is there a reason you're so curious about a world you'll likely never see?
unpredicktable: (time is on our side)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-10 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it started off as trying to evaluate if I could at least keep up with your dance style by learning more about what it might be like based on your culture, but then I got distracted by dragons. Dragons are pretty cool.
coastal: (✧ gee thanks; just bought it)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-10 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[she looks thoughtful about that]

Mm. I suppose. They can be - sometimes.

[anyway,]

Fine, you want to take care of tasks then? What's the other stupid one? Talking about something you miss?
unpredicktable: (i try i try i try)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-10 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought that's why you asked about dance capabilities. [ he sounds a little amused? was Lili just being rude for no reason. hilarious. ] And, technically speaking, they're all stupid.

[ :) fuck tasks ]
coastal: (✧ i don't like that you're right)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-10 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[lili was absolutely just being rude for no reason.]

You're not wrong about that - what's the point in their mindless games when all we want is to go home? They say it's a diversion to make the time go faster, but I don't buy it.
unpredicktable: (moi j'aurais aimé te faire voyager)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-10 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. There's a lot of things I don't buy about what they've been saying.

[ he's staring at the tasks with a twist to his mouth for a second before he shrugs ]

But they seem adamant their story is all there is to it. A fun competition while they try to fix it. [ he turns to her with a raised eyebrow and a quirked smile ] And yet between you and me, I'm pretty sure everyone here has had enough "competing", recently.

[ it's mirthless. ]
coastal: (✧ ain't tryna be cool like you)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-11 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
You were on the boat with the [sex] demons, weren't you? Where it turns out that everything that was said by the end was complete lies?

[yeah, so she can understand why he's especially unwilling to go along with anything they're suggesting.]

It's possible that even they're not aware of the extent of what's going to happen - the hosts in the village were like that. A lot of what they're parroting now sounds familiar to me. Well-meaning, but ultimately untrustworthy if only because they don't know their own limits.
unpredicktable: (that surrounds you)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-11 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that.

[ it's a little more complicated and layered, what with the hosts not being aware they were feeding them a narrative lie, rip, but dick wants to talk about anything ship related like he wants a root canal! it's great! ]

Right. There's also the possibility that there's only so much they can share, or that they truly believe what they're saying but it's ultimately not up to them.
