WEEK ZERO: MINGLE - OVERFLOW

[gatonina]

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.

[I MEAN. APPARENTLY SHE'S A wait im not spoiling you]

I have been practicing magic for as long as I can remember. It is only recently that I was allowed to join my class at the academy, however.

[Britt wtf TELL ME. ARE YOU JUST FLAYN KIN.]

Makes sense. We have some pretty young kids at Camp but most of us don't get to start attending until our powers show up...usually around ten or eleven. Sometimes later. [Sometimes earlier, if you're Annabeth.] And the rest of your class are what, fighters?

[fishingforcompliments]

[double wait i'm not telling you on a public mingle]

Some are magicians, and some have a talent for physical combat. All of them will probably go on to become important figures within the Empire once their training is complete...

[hydrogenetic]

Makes enough sense. Our camp's like that, too, but we don't have an Empire or anything. [Also so many of them die young but let's not go there.] Kind of nice to know other places have something similar.

[fishingforcompliments]

It is. It sounds as though there are many different types of worlds out there - but it is fascinating to be able to identify similarities between them.

[hydrogenetic]

Sort of makes you wonder if they brought us here on purpose because of that or just because of where we were before this. Like why us and not our other friends. But I doubt we'd get an answer.

[fishingforcompliments]

Most likely not. I am not sure there was any sort of rhyme or reason to it.

[hydrogenetic]

It was a nice thought though. [...though.] There's a lot of you from that island here, but what other sort of people did you meet?

[fishingforcompliments]

...you mean, the people we met there who did not arrive here?

[hydrogenetic]

Yeah. Those people.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh... they were wonderful! One of them in particular was inexhaustibly kind, but also incredibly strong. She wrestled a bear!

[hydrogenetic]

[...]

Did she win? [HE HAS TO ASK.]

[fishingforcompliments]

She most certainly did!

[hydrogenetic]

Very impressive. I almost feel sorry for the bear.

[fishingforcompliments]

As you should! Mitsuri was quite extraordinary. The bear did not stand a chance.

[hydrogenetic]

Let's hope we're not going to have to run into a similar problem here. I don't think most of us want to fight a bear.

[...like. He will if he has to, but no. The coyote was enough.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[thinks about it


nods]

Yes, you are quite right. I cannot think of anyone who would want to.

[hydrogenetic]

But then again we're all still getting to know each other. Maybe somebody will surprise us.

[fishingforcompliments]

Perhaps you are right! ...but I hope if anyone does try it, they will do so safely.

[hydrogenetic]

I'm not optimistic about that, but I hope so, too. [Stares at all of these assholes.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[jesus. the fact that they had this conversation when there was Bear Murder.]

...surely we should all know better than to take risks by now.

[hydrogenetic]

You'd think people would know, but they probably would anyway take the risks anyway.

[fishingforcompliments]

[SIGHS.]

You are probably right.
