Don't Skip Your Flu Shot

[purrtagonist]

Who: Everyone! It's a mingle post for the first week of Struxta sickness!!
Where: All around the temple
When: During the first week of the sickness
Rating PG?? At most??
What: Curry, blankets and pillow forts, and other assorted sick things

[With the Struxta illness sweeping through the temple like a wildfire, and with so many new arrivals trying to get adjusted to temple living, it's probably no surprise that things around the Astoria's little pocket of space have gotten a little hectic. Feeling under the weather? Looking for something warm to soothe that scratchy throat? Just want to curl up underneath a pile of blankets and not move for like, seven hours or so? Never fear! A Mysterious Helper (TM) has you covered]

A. Curry in the Kitchen

[The kitchen smells extremely nice during lunchtime this week, the only meal of the day that isn't pre-prepared by the misty servants. Like the scent of coffee intermingled with complementary spices. Those who take the initiative to investigate will find something pleasant waiting for them. A few pots of fresh made curry and steamed rice; a few pots of miso soup (a. . . little on the salty side, sorry); and some freshly brewed coffee already poured into individual mugs, along with cream and sugar and whatever additives your heart desires. It's all strewn out across the counter tops with a handwritten note pinned against the wall above the stove:]

Help yourself, and get well soon.

[There isn't any sign of the mysterious chef when you enter the kitchen, and if you arrive near the end of lunch hour, some of the food and coffee miiiiight be a bit cold. But hey! This might be a good chance to mingle with some of your new coworkers who are also seeking out a warm meal to help quell some of their cold symptoms. Just please don't sneeze into the curry pot, thanks. . .]

[Lunch will be laid out in the kitchen every day at lunchtime for the entire first week of the sickness. Help yourselves!]

B. The Temple Hallways

[THERE ARE BLANKETS AND PILLOWS EVERYWHERE]

[. . . no, seriously. For some reason, it's like you can't even walk down a hallway without tripping over a bundled up blanket or a pillow. What's up with that! For the most part, they're normal bedtime accessories, although you may find a bundle of pillows and blankets stacked up into an ENTIRE PILLOW FORT if you're lucky.]

[Pinned to the walls of the hallways (not every hallway, but enough of them that it should be easy to find one of the signs without wandering for too long) are more handwritten signs:]

Whoever can build the tallest pillow fort will receive one (1) high five as a grand prize. Good luck. Blanket provider is not responsible for anyone accidentally falling asleep in the hallways and blocking your route back to your bedroom.

[Hm. Well, that's weird. Anyway! You can build a pillow fort if you want, grab some blankets to take back to your room, or. . . nap in the hallways. Or do whatever! They're all free for the taking. Maybe you could even team up with another Circle member to try and win that extremely coveted high five??]

C. Wildcard

[Don't feel like interacting with any of the above? That's okay! Make your own prompt based on the event stuff over here, or just use this post for. . . whatever you want! It's totally and completely open for mingling for new and old characters alike, so. HAVE FUN ♥]

What's that? Like, shooting fire? Because that's pretty legit.

Also, would you have better luck bribing the lemur? I can grab some... fruit or whatever they eat.

[seaclipsed]

[ before katara can even respond, momo immediately hops over to sara at the mention of fruit.

so, yeah. bribery works. ]

Guess that answers that question. [ momo you fatass ] But, uh, yeah. It's basically shooting fire.

[sassy_assassin]

[ she puts her hands up and speaks to the lemur ]

I didn't say I had any.

[ back to Katara ]

You seem disappointed by it.

[seaclipsed]

I'm not a big fan of... fire.

[ firebending, really, but it's a very long story and she figures this completely stranger would rather not hear katara's tragic backstory. ]

It feels more like I'm being messed with than anything.

[sassy_assassin]

I men, that's probably true. I've never been in a situation like this before but it's also not hard for me to believe they'd troll us.

[seaclipsed]

[ there's a pause. ]

Troll?

[sassy_assassin]

Tease or... I don't know. Maliciously trick us for laughs.

[seaclipsed]

Well. That's rude.

[ that's one way to say it. ]

We can't take that completely off the table though.

[sassy_assassin]

I think we could establish our host was rude when she kidnapped us.

[seaclipsed]

The only points she has there is that apparently she had good intentions.

[ ... ]

That we know of.

[sassy_assassin]

Sure. Why not.

[ she clearly isn't thrilled about the concept of good intentions ]

[seaclipsed]

You just got here, right?

[ she thinks, since she hasn't seen sara before now. ]

[sassy_assassin]

Yep. Fresh off the whatever brought us here.

[seaclipsed]

I hope you weren't in the middle of anything too important.

[ you know, like katara was. ]

[sassy_assassin]

Not really, so there's that.

[seaclipsed]

I... guess that's a small mercy?

[ like, it's still terrible, but hey! could be worse!! ]

[sassy_assassin]

Yeah, there's that, I guess. Could've been at a worse time.

[seaclipsed]

It was kind of inconvenient timing for me.

[ "kind of" she's in the middle of a war ]
