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.

Sink, countertops or stovetop. Take your pick.

[ those do see the most action. ]

[hydrogenetic]

Countertops would probably be the easiest. Who knows what people have already been cooking up in here.

[voidbreaker]

As long as they weren’t setting the counter on fire and pulling off sacrifices as well, we can probably get it clean.

[hydrogenetic]

I wouldn't put it past some of these guys. [Trust no camper. That said, he'll look around for, like, a rag or something to wipe the counters down.] Kind of a weird task for us, isn't it? I thought it was their job to keep this place clean.

[voidbreaker]

Maybe they’ve been slacking and don’t want to have to get things up to scratch for us?

[ it’s a possibility ]

[hydrogenetic]

If this is their house or whatever they probably got lazy. [Aha...rag get!] But it was probably too much to expect any sort of effort from them in the first place.

[voidbreaker]

Whatever it is, they've taken it over for now. But... apparently someone's providing food for the serving counter, someone's been hustlin'.

[hydrogenetic]

You think it's one of them, or somebody we're not seeing?

[voidbreaker]

What, like a vengeful kitchen ghost? Out to ruin counters out of spite.

[hydrogenetic]

Yeah, why not? We have wood nymphs that dish up our food. Harpies that clear out our cabins, too.

[voidbreaker]

...

[ ... ]

Wood nymphs. You'd think they wouldn't wanna be anywhere near a kitchen.

[hydrogenetic]

[Shrug.]

I've never asked. It's always been like that. They live in the trees around Camp so they're never far from home, at least.

[voidbreaker]

... Alright, if they're nearby. But wood and fire don't usually mix?

[hydrogenetic]

Hey, I'm not the one who hired them. And I'm not gonna be the one to take it up with Mr. D.

[voidbreaker]

If your kitchen staff burn, then you know who to blame then.

[hydrogenetic]

Filing complaints never works, but I'll keep that in mind. [But at least he'll start wiping down the counters instead of bitching about how things make none sense.]

[voidbreaker]

[ oh right yeah, kitchen cleaning. ash sets to work on one of the counters near to him, before adding-- ]

Even if you're staff and you're complaining?

[hydrogenetic]

Doubt it. Mr. D doesn't really listen to anybody.

[voidbreaker]

Sounds like a great leader.

[ heavy sarcascm ]

[hydrogenetic]

Being at Camp is his punishment. I don't think anyone thought he was going to do a good job.

[voidbreaker]

[ hm. ]

Camp as a punishment. Think that applies to us in some way too?

[hydrogenetic]

What, kidnapping wasn't enough?
