WEEK ZERO: MINGLE - OVERFLOW

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.

[ continued from here! ]

[ It does make his smile a little melancholic to think about home, but he doesn't mind. ]

We don't rely on alchemy, but there is a rather acclaimed school for sorcery in my city—magic and the like is well regarded overall. I can't claim any talent for it, though. Other than that...

[ He thinks for a moment—his world feels so familiar and mundane that it's hard to think what might be noteworthy about it, but, ]

If there's anything that's shaped our world like alchemy does yours, I suppose it might be Crests. They're believed to be blessings granted to us by the Goddess. They don't affect the land quite so literally, but their impact is undeniable.

[ A Goddess? Unified religion? Never heard of it. Wild. ]

It must be amazing to live in a world where magic is something they can teach in school. Oh, but I guess that's what I just complained about people saying about alchemy...

A-anyway... What exactly are Crests? Like... Emblems?

[ it took me like 4 months to make the crest/emblem connection :pensiveclown: ]

If you were in my world, you could probably wield a spell or two with diligent practice. Many are innately capable of it to some degree. [ even a meathead like him, honestly. as for the other thing, though, ] Crests, meanwhile, are blessings you are born into. They're rare, usually passed down and cultivated through noble lineage... they grant great power, and end up as symbols of the ruling class. Ah, but—mine doesn't seem to have any effect here. I assume your alchemy is similarly absent.

[applechemist]

In my world magic exists, but it's very rare... I don't know that just anyone could learn it.

... But yes. I can't use alchemy here. It feels really weird - just like not having your Crest must feel.
