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 ♥]

[ sometimes life just be like that. ]

Really now. What would be the weirdest then?

[ she's curious what has momo beat. ]

[billionaires]

Hm. I once watched a whacked-out god steal a shiny blue magic rock in order to enslave the human race. ...Wait, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, friendship. I'm friends with a giant green rage monster. Cool guy. Hell of a temper though.

[seaclipsed]

[ this is all a lot of information, and she has to take a moment to backpedal. ]

Wait, wait. What happened with the rock?

[billionaires]

He took it with him. At least we stopped the whole alien invasion thing? I don't know, it's a long story.

[ one that scarred him for life NBD ]

[seaclipsed]

Oh... well, I'm glad that you did that. It must have been pretty difficult.

[ and it sounds to be something of a lot greater scale than she can imagine?? because like aliens???? ]

[billionaires]

I'm glad I did too. I prefer my city whole and un-blown up. I'm sure you feel the same.

[seaclipsed]

I do. Although it's less of a city and more of a... village?

[ ... or a small group of igloos and tents. ]

[billionaires]

Those count too. Your people are your people, right?

[ he idly scratches at momo's head so the lemur comes to sit in his lap. that's not so bad, actually... ]

Or your monkeys.

[seaclipsed]

Singular. He's the only one I know.

[ momo: the last furbender. ]

He's Momo.

[billionaires]

Well, now he's officially the only one I know too.

[ tony turns to the creature, trying to catch his eye and holding out a hand like he's meeting a man. ]

I'm Tony, Momo. I'm okay for a homo sapiens sapiens.

[seaclipsed]

[ momo places his paws on tony's hand. there is a good chance that he expected food. ]

He seems to think so. I'm Momo's friend Katara.

[billionaires]

[ he blinks, looking down at momo's paws in his hand. uh... ]

Yeah, well. He has good taste, obviously.

[ since they're both his friends and all!! ]

[seaclipsed]

[ momo just looks back. ]

Are you here with other people? Like how I have Momo.

[ ... katara has more than just momo, but still. ]

[billionaires]

[ he worries his lip, thinking about how to answer. but it's not a secret so in the end he just comes out with it. ]

Tall blond side of beef, goes by Captain America. Street name Steve. We're teammates, where we're from. Ish.

[seaclipsed]

Ish?

[ she hasn't met him yet, but also

"ish" says a lot. ]

[billionaires]

Yeah, well. You know how it is.

[ she obviously doesn't and yet he doesn't offer to fill in the blanks. ]

[seaclipsed]

[ she just... nods her head.

and then shakes it. ]

Not really, but I'll take your word for it.
