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 ♥]

You deserve it, sometimes.

[TOUGH LOVE BY KOU TOKISAKA.]

[purrtagonist]

[Kou's right too]

Good thing I'm an expert at taking my lumps.

[parttimes]

Yeah, you're a frustratingly good sport about it.

[Kou pls]

[purrtagonist]

"Frustratingly?"

[amused]

[parttimes]

Yeah, most people aren't very good at being humbled.

But it figures that you'd be good at that too.

[purrtagonist]

[shrugs]

If you take the world in stride, you'll always land on your feet.

[that almost sounds philosophical]

[parttimes]

[... SQUINTS.]

... Are you trying to say your fursona is a cat?

[purrtagonist]

Yes.

[NO. . . HE ISN'T. but he's going with this, anyway]

[parttimes]

[............... A sigh.]

I probably could've gone my entire life without knowing that, honestly.

[purrtagonist]

Says the guy who asked the question in the first place.

[he's shitting you, Kou]

[parttimes]

[He totally is.]

It was my duty as the straight man to ask the obvious question you were setting me up for.

[Probably the only time Kou is straight]

[purrtagonist]

[when will you have a doki, Kou]

I actually wasn't setting you up for that question.

. . . purposefully.

[parttimes]

[Don’t expect too much.]

Yes, well…

That just means it was subconscious which is still pretty bad. Possibly even worse.

[He's just teasing.]

[purrtagonist]

[shrugs]

I don't control what goes on in my subconscious.

[parttimes]

Don't you, though?

[With your Personas...]

More than most people, anyway.

[purrtagonist]

[HEY. . .]

That's not exactly how it works.

[parttimes]

No? I always figured we had to be a least a little more in tune with that sort of thing.

All things considered.

[purrtagonist]

I don't really think all of my Personas represent a hidden aspect of my subconscious? Some of them just. . . are?

[otherwise, like]

[mara??]






[shit no wait he knows why mara exists. fuck]

[parttimes]

They just... are.

[...]

What's that supposed to mean...?

[Those are all words he understands in a sentence but that's about as far as he gets.]

[purrtagonist]

[I MEAN. . .]

One of my Personas is Satan.

[that]

[doesn't really explain anything, does it]

[parttimes]

[... A slow blink.]

Your inner soul being Satan makes a lot more sense than anything else around here.

[Kou.]

[purrtagonist]

Oh. Thanks.

[THUMBS UP. he'll take that as a compliment]

[parttimes]

[Dryly:]

You're welcome, you weirdo.

[purrtagonist]

[a soft snort]

Anyway, I guess that's what I mean by "they just are." They take on the form of popular characters from mythology and history, so. . .?

[parttimes]

So... Satan.

[Huh.]

Definitely different from us on that count. You can swap 'em out, then?
