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 ♥]

[Akko-bear sits up, and then stretches her arms out, and then sits back down. She lays her snout down across her arms.

And sighs in a much-too-human way.]

Mm-hm!

It's the power that Astoria gave me~ I mean... I could do this back home, too...

[uncommonsense]

[ For a second, Haruhi pouts... but then, laughs just a bit. ]

I wouldn't have expected anything less of you! I bet it's just like riding a bike, especially if it's something you're already familiar with.

[ As expected of her future rival! Apparently. ]

I'm learning at a pretty good pace myself-- well, I haven't had too much time to mess around yet, but once I'm done around here, I'll be going full speed ahead.

[yerawitchakko]

[Akko-bear slumps back onto her hindquarters, and tilts her head. Right! Rivals! She's not sure how that'll work, yet.

But it seems legit.]

Mm-hm!

What is your power, Haruhi? Or... uh... can you tell me that?

[uncommonsense]

I haven't really figured it out yet.

[ At her feet, she picks up a pillow and spins it a bit, focusing on it a little before it shrinks. ]

I can do this so far. I'm working on the rest.

[yerawitchakko]

[Akko applauds, because it's magic. That's what you do.

Magic is always amazing.]

That's so cool! I bet you'll learn to do all sorts of things with that!

[uncommonsense]

I bet! If I could use it to shrink a spaceship down or something, then that'll only help us out in the future.

[ Always thinking ahead-- to uh, things that'll probably just not happen. ]

I'd use it to help me out with building my own pillow fort, but that's the kind of thing you want to do without magic, right? Like, it won't feel right if I win with it.

[yerawitchakko]

[Akko nods her bear head. It looks a little ridiculous.]

That makes sense. A spaceship would be pretty amazing!

I'm not sure, though. As a bear, I can do a lot of pillows, right? Because I'm all big! And stuff!

[uncommonsense]

I guess, but I've never seen a bear make a pillow fort before.

Hmm, maybe this could be some kinda training too. I didn't think about it that hard, but that's usually how this works! Something you don't think has anything to do with magic turns out to have been part of your learning experience the whole time.

[ Just as it is in manga! ]

[yerawitchakko]

That's how it went for me! Sort of.

I mean.

There was also reading like a thousand hundred books.

[uncommonsense]

That wouldn't be too bad, but Astoria didn't give us any.

[ She thinks? Well, either way. ]

Did you want some help?

[yerawitchakko]

Sure! I could probably use it, right?

[uncommonsense]

Probably. I bet there's just some things bears can't do, you know?

[ You know, like... she can't switch back, or something. ]

[yerawitchakko]

...sure, like bears can't do taxes or write things without destroying the paper with their claws?

[uncommonsense]

I bet it'd be tough for them to fold clothes or call someone on the phone. [ She even points to her smart watch. ] Have you tried using this like that?

[yerawitchakko]

You've got a point. I'd shred them, like this...

And no, not yet! Have you?

[uncommonsense]

Just a little bit. I don't think I can get onto the actual internet, but it's still pretty cool. I bet it's got some hidden features too that we don't know about.

[ Maybe? Though, if it shot lasers or something, that's more science than magic... ]
