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.

[ hMMMMM. she takes note of that, because she's a nosy piece of shit. she lets him go off and grab that chocolate syrup without protest, though!

she's quietly roasting some more marshmallows when he comes back, watching the fire thoughtfully. ]

[shortforever]

[He comes back, and hm, that thoughtful look. Time to interrupt it.]

Here, chocolate it up.

[He's tossing the bottle towards her before sitting back down and picking up his stick to get it ready for more disaster treats.]

You have to share too, you know. About something you miss.

[disreguarded]

[ she catches the bottle! and sets it in her lap for now. ]

Ahh, fuck, that's right. Hm. [ she tilts her head back. ] I miss the way the world sounds from inside of a magic bubble. I know that sounds weird, but. It's this really cool half muted sound. Like being in a tent. I used to sit up with Jester and we'd try to guess what was making sounds around us while we were on watch.

[shortforever]

That sounds pretty neat. Why were you in the magic bubble?

[Teach him the ways of Tabletop Things.]

[disreguarded]

Oh - so like, my friends and I are mercenaries, kind of? Sometimes we're out on the road and we can't find an inn, so my friend Caleb makes a bubble for us. It keeps out bad weather and makes us invisible from most people, so we don't get attacked in the middle of the night.

[shortforever]

[Wow, that sounds really useful! He's already running through it in his mind, thinking of the ways it could come in handy.]

Too bad we don't have that kinda power here, it'd be handy to keep away any would-be murderers.

[disreguarded]

Yeah, you can't imagine the number of times that I wanted to be able to use that shit at the House.

[shortforever]

[Oh, he can imagine.]

I guess if it's someone else's power you wouldn't get to use it anyway. What kinda stuff can you do?

[disreguarded]

I can punch ghosts. [ she says this very confidently. ]

[shortforever]

THAT would have been useful at the house.

[disreguarded]

[ she laughs. ] Yeah. I can also punch the truth out of people, which I was waiting to do, but - by the time I could do it, we were already pretty much fighting the House.

[shortforever]

And I'm guessing you can't do that now, huh?

[A shame, that would have been useful at any potential future trials.]

[disreguarded]

Nope. Unfortunately.

Maybe our camp overlords will be nice and let me have my ki back again.

[shortforever]

They'll probably do that about the same time they let me have my gravity back.

[Maybe they can befriend the NPCs and get powers back that way.]
