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 ♥]

We're both sick. You know that!

[he teeters over to the side]

[and plops his head onto her lap]

[still pouting]

[(it's faux pouting now, at least)]

[ Well. Since his head's right there, she's just going to stroke his hair.

There, there, you big baby. ]

[well, now his eyes are slipping shut again, because her hands in his hair feels nice. he might just drift off into another nap if she isn't careful]

[ But she doesn't particularly care if he naps?? She's not going anywhere, anyway. ]

[zzzzzzz. . .]

[and now they're both blocking the bathhouse]

[ oh well, tough shit. ]

[someone please tell them to move]

[or to get a room]

[or something]

[ But no one came...

Sorry, Akira. ]

[why would you apologize he's glad no one came]

[at some point in his slumber, he's shifting to wrap his arms around her waist. bee tee dubs]

[ Well, so much for gently prying him off-- no, Rion's allowing this.

And continuing to pet his hair, albeit a little slower, because she's also tired. ]

[WILL SHE FALL ASLEEP TOO]

[stay tuned to find out]

[ ... honestly, yeah. Near the tail end of it, but yeah.

Colds suck. ]

[COLDS SUCK A LOT]

[which I guess means he's eventually going to wake up to Rion being fast asleep. . . . .]

[and is going to be extremely obnoxious about it]

Riiiiiooooooon. . .

[ Nope. Not today. She's not even stirring. ]

Riiiiooooooooon.

[his face is buried against her stomach, so his whining is muffled]

[ All the more reason she can't hear him!!

Gosh, Akira. ]

[EVENTUALLY. . . Akira pushes himself up, stifling a yawn with one palm. his glasses are crooked again. when he lifts his gaze and sees her fast asleep, he just. . . chuckles a bit]

I feel like this has been most of our time spent together lately. . .

[and with that, he lifts a hand to brush her bangs from her forehead]

[ That does it-- barely, but Rion groans a little under her breath and cracks her eyes open to stare at him blearily. ]

See... we would've just fallen asleep on a date...

Congratulations on being right.

[tucking her hair behind her ears]

Would've been worth it, though.

You think? I'd feel kind of sad that I couldn't really enjoy spending time with you because I'd be asleep for most of it.

[ Case in point. ]

I wouldn't.

[tilts forward to press a kiss against her forehead. sick forehead kisses!!]

A date's whatever you make of it, even if you fall asleep at the end.

Geez.

[ It makes her smile, though, nudging their foreheads together when he leans back. ]

Even so, I'd want to have one when we're both feeling better. I don't want you to push yourself.

Liiiiittle too late for that.

[pillows]

[curry]

[the very definition of pushing himself]

... Push yourself any further.
