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. |

I do, actually. Shujin Academy.
[a small shrug]
It's a pretty normal prep school, though. Not much special about it.
[other than being plagued with scandals but ha ha. ha]
no subject
Mundane academy days are enjoyable in their own way, I think.
no subject
[eh]
I don't know. I don't care for school that much.

no subject
[. . . well, it's not like Akira doesn't have his reasons, but. that might be getting a bit too personal for a first meeting. he keeps his response light]
Being cooped up in a classroom all day really gives a guy cabin fever.
no subject
Certainly so. I prefer the training grounds myself... But beyond that, I think school is a valuable place to learn about and from other people, not just about textbook curriculums.
[ translation, he means making friends ]
no subject
You're a people person, aren't you?
no subject
No, I'm quite awful with people... But I've begun to appreciate the company of others. It is something to cherish, while we still have it.
no subject
[LET'S TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS ON FRIDAY. . . clears his throat and asks, and though it may seem like a change of subject he is going to relate it back to what they're talking about he swears]
Where were you before you were brought here? I was in the soul-eating mansion, if you've heard about it.
no subject
his demeanor shifts slightly, turning more serious. ]
I've heard of it in passing. I was on the island myself, with a number of others.
no subject
[. . . and Ryuji and Yusuke, though they aren't here]
I asked because I feel like getting stuck in these places and watching people you care about. . . die. . . really puts things into perspective. You know?
no subject
his fingers go tense, like they might clench into a fist if akira's hand wasn't stuck to them. ]
It does.
[ it takes him a moment, something melancholic in his voice when he finds it again. ] It isn't a perspective I would wish upon anyone. It paints the entire world in colder, darker colors than it was before.
[ he gives akira a sympathetic look. ]
That everyone here has experienced such loss... It isn't fair in the slightest.
no subject
It isn't.
[. . .]
And I intend to do what I can to prevent it from happening again.
[he says that with his jaw set, his chin tilted up, and a determined fire flickering behind his glasses. he knows that stopping whatever is to happen on Friday will be difficult-- impossible, even]
[but he has to try. he can't not]
no subject
I truly hope we will not be put through the same sort of rituals again, but...
[ His brows furrow gently, meeting Akira's determination with a steely conviction of his own. ]
I will not stand by and idly watch as more people are taken from us. For what little a stranger's word means, please know that I mean that with my whole heart.
no subject
Thanks. I believe you.
[none of them are so naive as to believe the other shoe won't drop, but Akira has been trying to hold onto his desire to fight in hopes that he'll be able to find a way to stop it from dropping. even though he knows, deep down, that he probably won't be able to]
[and perhaps it helps to know he isn't the only person who feels that way. isn't the only person to give in and accept whatever is about to happen to them]
If there's ever a way I can help, just let me know.
