WEEK ZERO: MINGLE - OVERFLOW
WEEK ZERO | |

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'm often told that. But I am a warrior, and so if called upon, I will war. Besides—if I am to ask men to fight under my command, I must face death as well.
[ ... ] Still, we are at peacetime, and I would rather keep it that way.
no subject
Such a lovely sentiment. But is that really why? Aren't soldiers intrinsically expendable?
[Looking right at Dimitri, then. Those inscrutable dark eyes giving him their full attention.]
Isn't the real reason simply that you want to fight?
no subject
[ His words take on a bite to them, staring head-on into those unsettling eyes. ]
Still your tongue, Ogata. Or do you want me to say that I would not hesitate to pull it from your rotten skull?
[ Is that what he wants from him? Violence? ]
no subject
If that's how you really feel.
[Of course, given the lack of real medical care here, he would probably end up dying from the bloodloss caused by such an injury. And surely Dimitri doesn't want that death on his hands. Still, it's fun to tease the threat out of him.]
It's difficult for me to believe what you claim after seeing hundreds of men sent up over 203 hill only to be immediately gunned down by the Russian's maxim guns. If they aren't being treated as expendable, then there isn't any sane explanation for that.
no subject
His sharp edges smoothen, just slightly. ]
There's no sane explanation for anything like that. The world is just a mad place.
[ He knows that madness well, and yet, ]
That does not make such a loss of life any less tragic. Any less... pointless and painful.
no subject
That's hardly exclusive to war. Most of life is pointless and painful.
[A pause, before he adds;]
Though, I suppose someone of your status wouldn't know that.
