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 ♥]

Well, it's, uh...it's gonna take some investors first, and then we'll need a construction crew and a chocobo farm to supply the birds...maybe I ought to have the farm on my property, too.
[ She may think he's being facetious, but it's clear that behind the look in his eyes, the gears in his head are really turning... ]
no subject
wow to that, and also to his intricate planning, tbh. he's starting to sound a little bit like alphinaud right about now honestly, which only leads her to lounge comfortably on the floor of pillows while he gabs.
man she could go for a nap right here, for sure.. ]
no subject
[ Amazing she couldn't tell that from the...pile of pillows, but Alisaie doesn't seem to quite grasp the intricacies of fort building. Which is fine! No one's perfect...
Boy, she does look pretty tired though, doesn't she? ]
You've been workin' pretty hard, huh?
[ Don't think he hasn't noticed... ]
no subject
but soon after she's grabbing another pillow to hug up against, burying her face into it. ]
Mm. Well, I've had to.
[ she answers, simply, nonplussed. ]
Far more are ill than are not, there is a good amount of slack to pick up.
no subject
Y'know...that doesn't mean you can't take a break, either.
[ Which is...precisely what she's doing right now, sure. But what he means is she needs to sleep. If she works too hard she's only going to make herself more likely to fall ill, and then where will she be?
...Sick. That's where! ]
Remember what you told me in El Minha?
no subject
I know..
[ she admits, her eyelids dropped low, her gaze unfocused, thoughtful. ]
But there are lives are at stake. My family is at stake. Should it kill me to find a cure, then so be it.
[ it is hypocritical, she's well aware, but she can think of no other way to survive. being without them.. impossible. unthinkable. her gaze flickers toward his face again, a faint, almost plaintive crease in her brow. ]
Should your lives be saved, it is worth a few sleepless nights, is it not? I could never live with myself, if I did not give everything, should..
[ should the worst come to pass. she cannot say it aloud. ]
no subject
Ali...
[ There's a small sigh accompanying the way he says her name, a quiet exasperation in it, though he can't exactly argue. He would be the same way, were their positions reversed, even if he wouldn't be useful in finding a cure. He could at least try to ease the burdens of others, and he's...be trying to do that, even while he's been sick.
That's what he's trying to do right now, too, in encouraging her to take it easy, though he knows this won't be a battle he can win. ]
Hey, c'mon. It's just a little flu. I'm sure in a week it'll clear out like nothin' happened! [ flash forward a week to him going blind and having an emotional breakdown on her ] You'll at least chill in my pillow mansion for awhile, right?
[ She does look pretty sleepy...maybe he can try to trick her into napping!! Heheh, the perfect crime... ]
no subject
the thought alone is enough to make her gut clench tightly with cold fear.
she gives him no answer to that, because she will not lie, but belaboring the point will earn them nothing. instead, she can offer only a thin smile. ]
A mansion now, is it? I suppose I can spare a few moments..
no subject
Man, you're pretty lucky you haven't gotten sick yet. You must have some kind of...superpowered constitution! Is that an Elezen thing?
no subject
Not that I am aware of. My brother has fallen ill, after all..
no subject
[ Most everyone Prompto knows who isn't sick is an android...and Alisaie. Whatever she's doing to keep herself well must be working, but it makes him even more paranoid about hanging out with her like this. What if she falls ill now, when she's already worn down and exhausted? She might get it worse than the rest of them...
But there she is, all curled up on the pillows, and he can't find it in his heart to tell her to go. On the one hand, she looks like she might actually fall asleep now, and on the other...
She's really damn cute. ]
Want me to count some chocobos for you?
[ He settles down on his side, head propped up with his hand — but he doesn't scoot too close. He still remembers what happened in El Minha, and, they don't need a repeat of that!!
...No matter how much he might like it. ]
no subject
Mmm..
[ she hums, with a deep, quiet melancholy. that her brother has fallen ill is a matter of great distress for her, and even tired as she is, her gut clenches with anxiety. at his offer, however, one corner of his mouth curls slightly. ]
How far could you manage?
no subject
[ It's sort of funny to think back on how they first met. He'd been so terrified of her...and, well, he is still plenty terrified of her. But now she's one of his closest friends, too.
Funny, how that happens... ]
See — I'll prove it. One chocobo, two chocobos, three chocobos, four...
no subject
it's definitely working. ]
You could not reach a thousand..
[ she claims, blearily, 100% assured that he cannot reach a thousand chocobos!! the idea of counting that high though.. just thinking about it is exhausting... so, so tiring... zzzz ]
no subject
[ He teases, but his voice is gentle, low. Look at her eyes flutter shut, she's fighting it so hard...but he will not be deterred. Even if he makes himself fall asleep in the process. He must stay vigilant! ]
Five chocobos, six chocobos, seven....
[ He says, through a yawn of his own. Tired as he may himself be, he's not about to stop counting until he's sure she's asleep. ]
no subject
[ it's a feeble attempt at an argument, really, even by her own standards, but she's just so tired that it hardly registers. his voice is repetitive, familiar, soothing, and though a faint crease of consternation appears on her brow, she cannot bring herself to fight harder. she has not the energy.
so it's only a few more moments before her breathing evens out, and she's drifting comfortably to sleep. ]
no subject
Except now...she's definitely just. Asleep now, and he's just kind of watching her.
Well, first things first. He finds a blanket among the fort's building supplies and then carefully drapes it over her, tucking it up underneath her chin. She must be exhausted but he doesn't want her to be uncomfortable and wake up regretting her little impromptu nap. She...probably will anyway, given the way she's been pushing herself, but that won't stop him from making her as comfortable as possible.
But she's all tucked in soon enough and he's still just...there. Should he leave? This is kind of his fort, and she barged in and sat on his pool house and fell asleep. He could lay down to sleep too, but — but he still remembers how that went last time they fell asleep next to each other, and after all the TOTALLY PLATONIC handholding they've been doing lately, he's not sure if he could handle it if he woke up all...cuddly with her.
...
...
...He reaches for his camera. ]
no subject
too bad she doesn't know because she's.. you know
asleep....
zzzzzz.................. ]
1/2
...
...Okay, now he's thinking better of it. But still not deleting it, because. It's...cute... ]
2/2
But still plenty far away from her!! No accidental snuggles!!! But it isn't long before he's drifting off himself, lost in a sea of soft pillows and thoughts of cute elves. ]
