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 don't think the counselors are the ones keeping track, actually.

[voidbreaker]

[ hm! ]

...

You thinking this might be a situation like the one we're used to?

[survivaltricks]

I don't know.

[tilts his head at Ash a bit]

But did you notice the counselors are wearing them, too?

[voidbreaker]

...

[ huh. so given what phoenix just said... ]

So it's not about what they're triggering when we take them off, so much as what they're keeping away when we keep them on.

[survivaltricks]

Exactly.

[pleased that Ash is getting it]

[voidbreaker]

[ hurrrugggghhhhhhhhhhhgggggggggggggggg. ]

Grand.

Good to know it was literally out of the frying pan, into the fire.

[survivaltricks]

[just]

[drops a hand on Ash's shoulder and gives it a squeeze]

[voidbreaker]

[ they have fun in murder mansions and murder camps. ]

S'fine. Might as well delay going back a little longer.

[recrypt]

For what it's worth, I don't think it's intended to be punitive either.

[voidbreaker]

Protection, rather than a punishment. Given the context, I don't exactly feel relieved by that.

[recrypt]

Not at all, but it might possibly be reason to withhold judgment on our hosts here.

For now.

[voidbreaker]

For now.

[ said with an air of agreement. ]

We’ll figure out whether we can trust them sooner or later, either way.

[applechemist]

... Isn't that a really bad sign if someone else has that kind of power and is using it to do dangerous stuff?

[survivaltricks]

I doubt it's anyone here, too. Especially since 45's injury took place on the bus.

I bet it's something ingrained in our surroundings itself.

[applechemist]

... Okay. So we really can't relax too much.

[ Not that she thinks many people were actually relaxing. ]

[survivaltricks]

Bingo.

[HIS RESPONSE IS WRY. . .]

So although it might be annoying, I think for now we should keep the scrunchies on.
