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! I would like that very much!

[At least she's easy to distract.]

[Okay. Time to teach her a dance.

He does not know any real dances that are appropriate enough to teach Flayn.

...

Okay. So. You start off sort of like...sticking your arm out in front of you. And then you pull it back in.

[Yes. He's teaching her the hokey pokey.]

...

[out goes her arm!

in goes her arm!

she's taking this very seriously.]


What next?

Then you do it again, and then you sort of dance in place a bit? like, shaking your body, but without moving your feet.

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-06-10 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
...like this?

[out goes that same arm, and then in! ...and she sort of wriggles while trying not to take a step. hm.]

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-06-10 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
More like this.

[He does the same body-wiggling, but a tiny bit slower.]

And then you do the same dance again, but this time sticking out your other hand.

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-06-10 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I see!

[time to repeat the motions with her other hand ... they're doing the hokey pokey.

this is fine.]

[It's totally dancing, so it's absolutely fine.

He'll lead her through all the steps, including the 'jump in' and 'jump out' part.

[Flayn just came out here to have a good time and ... she is having such a good time right now.]

Well! That was quite fun!
shortforever: (09)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-06-11 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it was.

[Chuuya can admit to that because he's pretty sure nobody saw him looking like a fool besides Flayn, who is sweet and innocent and won't tease him for it. Probably.]

Dancing's more fun when you can actually touch someone, but this works too.

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-06-11 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... perhaps when we figure out a solution for the "sticking" thing, we could dance again.

[She won't tease him! Maybe. Probably. If she does it will be very gentle teasing.]
shortforever: (09)

[personal profile] shortforever 2020-06-11 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Where I came from before this, things changed each week. So by next Monday we'll probably be un-sticky.

[He is not addressing the dancing thing because he can absolutely be bullied into it by earnest people.]
fishingforcompliments: (011)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-06-11 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Then I suppose we shall have that to look forward to!

[...

wait. if this place has more in common with where he came from, people will die.]


...I hope that will be the only new thing we experience by that time next week.
