WEEK ZERO: MINGLE

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.

(frozen comment) WEEKLY TASKS

[gatonina]

TASK 1 TASK DESCRIPTION: Kitchen experiencing some trouble. Keeps becoming messier than expected. Help clean up with one or two others. May not stick; help still appreciated in handling it. Please report when finished. Thank you.

TASK 2 TASK DESCRIPTION: A lot of you are still unfamiliar with one another, but there's a simple fix for that! Talk to someone and share a fact about the home you're missing to get a sense of what's out there. Oh, and do share if you finish this task.

TASK 3 TASK DESCRIPTION: You're all like, WAY too stressed out, so here's something to take your mind off it. Grab someone you met this week, doesn't matter who, and dance with them. Don't worry too much if you're not a good dancer. It's whatever. Just have fun. Leave a note if you finish this task. Thanks!!

DIRECTORS' OFFICE

[gatonina]

[black shadows will be present here this week, either behind the desk or visible as they go in and out of the rooms down the hallway. in either case, once someone enters the building, they will either look up from the receptionist's desk or make their way back to it.]

Yes? Will try to help, if you need anything.

[they speak cautiously and with intent, doing their best to be a little more eloquent in their greeting.

oh, yes, and their large gray rabbit is around the office too, hopping around as it plays with a couple of toys. please do watch your feet.]

CAMP STORE

[gatonina]

[purple heart will be present here this week mostly seated behind the desk. on occasion, you can find them rearranging things on the shelves and the tables, and sometimes you can even find them on the floor playing with their small purple rabbit. regardless of when you catch them, the moment they hear footsteps they'll raise their head and gesture around the cabin with an elaborate flourish of their hand.]

Welcome, welcome. If anything catches your eye, do let me know.

[axilium]

Yo. Is the stock limited?

[gatonina]

Like any store, some items are in bulk and some are limited edition.

[survivaltricks]

task 3 - monday morning.

[listen i all know we're expecting these tasks to become murderous later on, but like. they're fun for right now, right?? right???]

[anyway!!]

[Akira is dressed a little differently today complete with a bonus bluebird-in-a-cage pendant around his neck. and since it's early on in the week and someone hasn't gotten the memo about being stuck together--]

[if you happen to pass by him today and happen to be someone he didn't know from the mansion, he'll extend a hand towards you, brows raised and eyes sparkling with a bit of mischief]

Care for a dance?

task 2 - monday afternoon.

[BY NOW HE PROBABLY KNOWS PEOPLE ARE GETTING STUCK TOGETHER, SO NO MORE OF THAT DANCING NONSENSE. . . but also, he's still task hunting!! it doesn't matter if he knew you from the mansion or not; he is approaching you with a bottle of water pilfered from the dining hall during lunch and. . . pressing it up against the back of your neck like an asshole]

[hey]

Got a moment?

task 1 - tuesday.

[and now. . . it is time for the one task he was trying to avoid. . .]

[TODAY THIS GLORIOUS TUESDAY, Akira is standing in front of the kitchen entrance, peering inside with a wrinkled nose. god. he hates cleaning]

You take the counters and I'll take the floors?

wildcard.

[hmu on discord for pcs or just make something up!! Akira is. . . around!!]

[axilium]

And what's limited edition here?

tuesday

[chaoticlootral]

[Taako is. . . sitting his ass on the counters, kicking his legs back and forth while he watches people waltz in and out of here to clean the place up. This is his new hobby. Please find better hobbies, Taako.]

Sure, sure . . .

[He's. He's not moving.]

[coastal]

Yo.

[she SAID she'd be BACK if she had more demands - though in this case she'll actually be a little distracted by the bunny... wow. bunny. her expression softens because she's an idiot.

ahem.]

I need more equipment.

monday afternoon

[axilium]

[hrrghLSKDFJLSDF akira why

belph freezes up for a moment, on reflex, before looking at akira with a dead look.]

Not anymore.

[survivaltricks]

[slides up in here]

[eyeing the cheetos as he does so]

Heeeeey, Heart.

Do you sell robot fixing tools?

[survivaltricks]

[please find better hobbies Taako]

[Akira slips into the kitchen when he gets that response and just. gives Taako a look]

[. . .]

Now where are we going to find a trash can big enough?

[for Taako. since he's on the counter. and they need to clean off the counters]

[that's the joke]

[survivaltricks]

[cracks a smile at Belph and offers him the bottle of water. it hasn't been opened!!]

Harsh. I just need a minute or two of your time.

[voidbreaker]

i. bunnies

[ the ongoing exploration of the camp will continue into monday -- or that was the plan, at least. ash, who is dressed notably differently today, has found his way down to the director's office and... well.

he's stopped.

it might be apparent why, if you get closer. the bunnies are hopping around - or two of them are. one of them has just dropped itself on his foot and seems perfectly happy with life. ]

...

[ help. he can't move. ]

ii. kitchens; monday

[ sigh.

look. it's only fair that if he plans to use the kitchen, he might as well get on with the part where he has to clean it.

his sleeves are already rolled up, but he takes a moment to push them up higher. ]

Might as well get on with it. Feel free to chip in if you want.

[ aka help him clean, dammit. ]

wildcard

[ the usual. hit me up for other ideas, or pcs or anything. i hunger ]

[disreguarded]

i. dance dance revolution, tuesday morning

[ so at some point - doesn't matter who it is - beau runs right up to you and grabs your hand. she's aware that people get stuck. irrelevant. ]

Hey. [ she looks happy and a little out of breath, laughing. ] Dance with me.

ii. marshmallows and chill, monday afternoon/evening

[ or! beau can be found sitting next to the bonfire with marshmallows. she has discovered that one, marshmallows are fucking delicious, and two, they're even BETTER when you burn the shit out of them. also, she's stupid and can't stop burning her fingers on hot marshmallows, which means she basically grabs one, roasts it, and then takes it off the skewer like OW, FUCK before putting it in her mouth.

if she spots anybody, she waves. ]

You have to try this shit, c'mere.

iii. wildcard!

[ if you want a pc, hit me up at fluorescentness#1929 or knifedad on plurk! or just post something in our catchall if we have one and yeet it at me!!! let's do some tasks, y'all. ]

[axilium]

[he takes it.]

I already regret the five seconds I've given you.

[survivaltricks]

. . . am I that boring to talk to?

[he needs to up his interesting game]

[axilium]

[he waves the bottle.]

[survivaltricks]

[soft snort]

Tell me something about your home world.

i.

[axilium]

[he just

looks at where their hands are now stuck.]

Why did you do that.

[givethemhell]

i - public bath, monday evening;
[Wei Wuxian emerges from his shower stall (he's wearing a towel okay this ain't thots) with some sort of ALIEN IN HIS HAND--

Oh, actually, no. He was doing his civic duty as someone with long hair and cleaned out the drain after he was done washing up. There is a lot of hair here. He has so much hair. God save their drains.]

Do you think there's an easier way to do this, maybe? [PLEASE HE DOESN'T WANNA CLEAN DRAINS FOR 2-8 WEEKS.] If we're talking about things we miss from home, that's at the top of the list right now! You don't have to worry about cleaning drains if you don't have any.

[Yeehaw ancient China and their fragile wooden tubs.]

ii - kitchen, tuesday morning;
[It's gremlin hours! Maybe you couldn't get any good shut-eye and decided to go rummage around for a snack before trying to get back to sleep, or maybe you're just an early, early riser. Whatever the case, there appears to be a light coming from the kitchen...

Brave souls who inspect any closer will find this light is coming from the fridge, which is cracked open. On the floor in front of it sits one (1) Wei Wuxian, with a spoon in a jar of jam that he's apparently claimed for himself. He also has, like, half a loaf of bread sticking out of his shirt. It's fine. He blinks up whenever he hears someone moseying on through and offers a bright smile!]

Good morning! Ah, or is it still night...? [Hm. WELL, ANYWAY. Pointing to his... bread stash.] Want any? It's very good.

[For the task-hunters, he'll get to helping with cleaning eventually okay SNACK FIRST.]

iii - bonfire, tuesday evening;
[These are some nice cute tasks before things inevitably start going south, huh? And dancing is the CUTEST ONE OF ALL. Wei Wuxian is just out here this evening hanging by the bonfire since it's nice and toasty-warm, and he beams up at anyone who moseys over to enjoy the fire, too.]

Evening! Finished your tasks yet? I can give you a hand if you need one, though I can't say I'm the best dancer.

[There's plenty of room to fall without crashing into the fire, at least! But they can also fall into the fire a little as a treat.]

wildcard;
[hmu with whatever your wild lil heart desires! lmk if you want a pc or if you want wwx to help with a task!]

i

[preowned]

[ tsurumaru is walking by... and spots this problem. he just stops and watches, clearly amused.




and also does not help, like an asshole. ]

[coastal]

[not joking about it all being flowing dresses and silks for lili's outfit upgrade. i'm sure this will not save her from unfortunately getting stuck to someone]

[ I. TAAAAASKS ]

[she's looking at the bulletin board, unimpressed, because lili an is a fucking terrible person who is also a giant killjoy

she crosses her arms before sizing up the person also looking with her and saying, rudely:]

Do you even know how to dance?

[she probably doesn't mean to insult you specifically]

[ II. THE CHICKENS ]

[listen this is what i promised to do and i just wanted a stupid toplevel for it. you can enter the chicken process in one of three different ways:

1 ) you got roped into actually building the chicken pen
2 ) you are watching other people build the chicken pen with lili as she spiritually drinks a lemonade and uhhhh supervises
or 3 ) you arrive once the chicken pen is completed

as of 3, inside the pen is one chicken with a tiny, tiny helmet and unfortunately lili looks fond]

How's that, Kazakiri? We'll see about getting you a proper home soon.

[ WILDCARD ME UP ]

[i am OPEN for DISASTERS OF ANY SORT, also feel free to dm me for PCs!!]

ii i feel intense regret already but

[axilium]

[...]

Is there a reason you stuck that down your shirt?
