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.

At escaping, certainly.

[Also at just like not getting murdered in general, but he's pretty sure that's a goal for everyone here.]

Where was it that you came from, again? Was it the island or the house...?

Eldritch murder mansion.

[ call it what it was. ]

Hah, goodness... The details of that one did sound messy.

[VORE HOUSE when will someone icly call it vore house where is taako when you need him]

But you all made it out at the end, yes?

[ never ]

None of the stories I’ve heard have been exactly “neat”. [ like. a lot of people died? ]

But yeah. Assuming anyone who ain’t here made it back to wherever they planned on going, sure.

True, true enough! [LOOK SOME WERE NEATER THAN OTHERS but he's not wrong.]

It does bring about a fresh slew of questions though, doesn't it? If we were interrupted, no saying what's happened to anyone else. Though I do hope we just happen to be the only unlucky ones, rather than everyone being plucked up by different ceaseless immortal powers for a second round!

[There's still over forty whole people with Bad Luck even in that scenario though, rip.]

I don't really want to consider all the other people who aren't here ending up somewhere just as crap. [ uggggggggggggggg. ]

Some of them must've made it back alright.

[WAVING HIS SPOON.]

Statistically speaking, things are probably in their favor, at least? After all, there were probably hundreds of us across these games. We all managed to make it to our destination just fine, despite the risk of traveling through portals or what-have-you. Only forty-one of us have ended up running into trouble here on our way back, which is a pretty low count, comparatively.

[Surely there would be more people in camp hell if it was just a free-for-all grab-all-the-survivors festival, right?? He sure hopes so, anyway.]

Unless something out there's running double duty and we've got one mess of a murder camp scenario here, and something else out there in the multiverse.

[ cheery. ]

That's the part where we just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best. Maybe we should ask if one of our dear hosts has any purifying salts to throw, hah.

[He would never ask because he does not trust what they have to give.]

You’ll have to keep checking the camp store to see if they start selling them.

Hah, I do think it will only be a matter of time before we start seeing some variety among the items sold there... Purifying salts would be a good addition!

[He's expecting like, poisonous plants and daggers again.]

You sound like you're speaking from experience.

Oh, ours were horrible from the start. They made no attempt at all to pretend we weren't going to be killing each other! Plenty of blades, poisons, so on.

[He's understandably suspicious of the current store items. Hair spray? Pens?? NONSENSE.]

Poisons?

[ what the fuckery. ]

Yeah, that'd make it pretty obvious....

[YEAH! YEAH!! what the fuckery is right]

Hah, right? We had people buying up the weapons and poisons to hold onto them pretty quickly, at least. Fewer tools for our dear captors to use, considering everyone knew who had what but not where the items were hidden.

Oh, like... keep the dangerous stuff out of reach so it couldn't be used against you?

[ ... ] Assuming whoever's stocking them doesn't get caught up in the murdering mess too.

Mmhm! We had systems worked out. One or two people would know where someone was keeping a hidden weapon or poison. Since only one person was possessed a week, it was a little bit of a failsafe. Not perfect, though, of course.

[Nothing they did there was perfect it was all cursed.]

I hear nothing ever is.

...

So if they start bringing out the poisons and knives, we know who to go to for hiding potential deadly weaponry.

Hah! Dick, probably.

[HE NEVER BOUGHT A DAMN THING FROM THAT STORE.]

Let's keep our fingers crossed that we're all wrong and we can have a nice surprise at the end of the week when nothing deadly turns up and no one goes missing, hm?

Who?

[ hahah names? ]

Maybe we'll just have a party and go home. [ ................................. ha. ]

[Ash does his best goddam. Wei Wuxian just laughs, waving a hand.]

Tall, black hair, likes to gather the group's attention so he can get everyone on the same page. He's got a strong "I'm a leader" presence!

[Though he sounds more amused than anything as he says this, since he is a punk. That said:]

Wouldn't that be something? I hope there's plenty of good drink if we do have a party. Ones I don't have to make myself! ...And nothing they have to pluck something strange off of before handing it over, either.

[ .....................

................

.... ]

The one who offered to fuck a lot of sex demons? [ DICK your LEGACY ]

Wow, you just made the idea of a party sound really not fun.

[RIP IN REST DICK... He makes a bit of a face.]

He didn't make that offer to them! [WHO (wwx) WOULD WILLINGLY BANG A SEX DEMON (wwx) AT ANY POINT IN THE GAME?? thank god no one but illumi ever found out.] Everyone on the boat was under a curse, and if we didn't have sex at least once a week we'd die. He was offering to protect us; it's not like he could tell who the demon was. [...] But yes, that's the one.

[BUT THEN he just gestures vaguely and mimes plucking something off his jam jar.]

You've seen it, yes? The way they pull things off of the items they hand out.

...

So, what? He just stood up on a table and literally offered to fuck all of you? [ wow. that's some big richard energy right there. ]

Don't remind me.

[A LONG PAUSE.......]

Not quite like that, but he did, you know - offer to help out anyone who didn't have someone else they were already comfortable with. No standing on tables either, just making loud announcements in public.

[Dick is just out there doing whatever the fuck he wants.]

What do you think that is, anyway?
