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.

Oh, no, not at all. I'd go into the city if I wanted to go anywhere at all for a drink! No, I lived on a mountain for a while, that's all.

[He lived in the fuckin elephant graveyard.]

[axilium]

You do seem like the kind of guy who holes himself up in mountains and then swoops down in the middle of the night to terrorize people with spiced drinks.

[givethemhell]

Hah! Coming down the mountainside to spice the drinks of anyone who leaves theirs unattended, hm? That sounds like it would be a fun profession.

[PROFESSIONAL WHAT, EXACTLY.]

[axilium]

You'd be providing a community service.

[givethemhell]

I feel like the people who don't like spiced drinks may disagree, for some reason.

[NO PARTICULAR REASON...]

[axilium]

You're teaching them not to leave their drinks unattended. Someone more unsavoury could drug them with something worse, after all.

[givethemhell]

Ah, now you do have a point, there! You could be a good, ah, what was it-- a lawyer?

[Belph for Wei Wuxian's attorney 2020.]

[axilium]

[that sure was a cursed line you just typed]

Please, I don't have the patience to stand around in court or whatever it is lawyers do.

[givethemhell]

[it can't even be in the top 10 of cursed things i've typed]

I have no idea what they do either, honestly. I've only heard about them from other people.

[They have a legal system with like, lawyer-esque figures, but they sure ain't actual lawyers.]

[axilium]

Well, there's a lot of different types of lawyers, so it depends.

[givethemhell]

Why are there so many types of lawyers? Do they not all do the same job?

[Who is a defense attorney he doesn't know her.]

[axilium]

Oh, not at all. Even in court, you have two attorneys with opposite jobs—one to defend the accused and the other to prosecute them.

[givethemhell]

[wei wuxian on the floor at 3am stuffing spoonfuls of jam into his mouth, listening intently as his new drinking buddy explains the intricacies of the modern day legal system]

Huh... But aren't they still both attorneys, even if they do different jobs?

[axilium]

I guess. It's like if you called someone an artist, though. Same job, technically, but different styles, you know?

[givethemhell]

You do have a point! Very well, then - you can be one of the accusing attorneys.

[Just assigns Belph attorneykin.]

[axilium]

Oh? Any particular reason for that one?

[givethemhell]

Because it's easier to call guilt than prove innocence, and I feel like that may be too much work for your tastes, friend!

[He says it teasingly, though. He doesn't know Belph's life, outside of the fact that he doesn't want to clean which is fair.]
