Don't Skip Your Flu Shot

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 ♥]

[ Do normal people not just drink hot water... leave him alone... ]

I don't know if I can handle curry that spicy... My nose is already runny as it is. [ Though, the spices would be good for clearing up the sinuses? He doesn't want to say it, though, or else he can't refuse them trying out spicy curry, the thought of which is already giving him an ulcer. ]

What do you usually have when you feel run down? That's not excessively painful.

Right. I guess you have a point there. It'd suck to make it worse, right? We'll have a spicy curry trial another day.

[The point of food is to make you feel better, after all, not worse. He considers the question about his own version of comfort food. Even starting to think about it he can feel himself salivating.]

Panikeke...it's like a round pancake. Doesn't really have any nutritional value, but it's a great snack. If I'm sick though, I like to have bao or maybe the traditional chicken noodle soup. That's a good go to. Mmm, all of that sounds really good.

Hmm... Pancakes sound good.

[ Even with no nutritional value, sometimes you just need something tasty to get your appetite back up, and that helps just as much as any medicine does. ]

I wish our chef could make more than just curry, but I guess this is it.

Well...if we have the ingredients I could probably whip some up if you're really wanting some.

[He wasn't the chef that had made the curry, but he did have his own repertoire to pull from.]

The pancakes would be a nice alternative, kind of like a dessert.

Oh. Do you know how to cook from scratch?

[ Minato could probably manage things that come in a box where you just add water or crack an egg into before throwing into the microwave, but pancakes are... It can't just be flour, he thinks, but he doesn't know what to add to make it fluffy, or what to add to make it sweet that might not be sugar, which burns quickly. ]

Oh yeah. It's like...one of the main things I'm good at. I love cooking and I've spent a lot of time getting good at it.

[Hunk smiles, he doesn't take pride in a lot, but he does take pride in this.]

[ That is honestly the best thing Minato has heard all day. ]

You're amazing... If there's anything I can do in exchange for tasting your cooking, please.

[ pleeeeeease he can't live off curry and coffee forever, as much as he loves both ]

I would say I usually make more than enough, but we have a lot of people here. But I'll make sure you know any time I decide to whip something up in here.

[There's a pause and then he asks.]

Unless you're wanting me to make something now to go with all this?

You're already making tea; I won't ask for anything more. For now.

[ FOR NOW. But in the future...!! Minato will wash the dishes or something, and hopefully that would be a fair enough trade-off ]
