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 ♥]

Hm... but sometimes it's good to splurge, isn't it? If you're able to.

[airgetlarm]

As long as it tastes good to you, then I shouldn't be objecting than. I apologize for questioning your preferences, my lady.

[twitter]

It's cool! How do you like your curry then?

[airgetlarm]

How do I like it...? Hm.

[He strokes his chin thinking. Curry isn't a food that he would have eaten during his Camelot days (it was very... plain food). But on the occasion when he felt like it or when Ritsuka would invite him, he's had some meals cooked by very talented and kitchen talented Servants.]

For the curry, I do like when there are lots of vegetables. I think they absorb and hold the flavor very well.

You're a veggie man!

[ she nods her head. ]

What kind?

[airgetlarm]

Um, I'm mostly familiar with potatoes and carrots... Cabbage too.

[He's shyly rubbing the back of his head. It's kind of nice, talking about normal stuff like this.]

As long as it's well prepared, I am not very picky about my taste.

[twitter]

Potatoes, carrots, cabbage... cabbage...

[ she grabs a spoon to. do a taste test of her monstrosity. ]

I'll make you stew!

[airgetlarm]

I... Pardon??

[He's taken aback. What has he done to deserve such a nice thing??]

But... My lady, we hardly know each other? I did not wish to imply that I would like to have a stew made although your generosity is noted. I would not like to trouble you like that.

[twitter]

I wouldn't offer to do something like that if I didn't want to do it! You should accept people's kindness. There are times where you might not be able to get any.

[ she's already shuffling through the cabinets to see what they have for ingredients. ]

[airgetlarm]

[Normally, his chivalrous side may have him protest for somehow imposing his wish for a mundane food item from someone he doesn't know, but the manner in which the young girl enthusiastically begins her search for ingredients leaves Bedivere at a loss.

Also... Somehow, her logic was very sound.]

... I cannot argue against what you have said.

[He seems troubled.]

I am still unused to accepting kindness so easily.

[twitter]

It's a learning process then! You can get used to it little by little.

[ hajime is the kind of person to just football spike nice things at you whether you're prepared for it or not. ]

Ah. I'm Hajime Ichinose.

[airgetlarm]

[Bedivere crosses one arm over his chest and bows his head low.]

You may call me Bedivere. Lady Hajime, I am honored to make your acquaintance.

[twitter]

Bedivere... Bedi-kun?

[ she looks at him for approval. ]
