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 ♥]

[ he is no less a menace, just better at hiding it!! pepperidge farms remembers.. ]

Scrumptious indeed.

[ she scoffs, because yes she will resort to making fun of his stupid words if need be. ]

But yes, I would suffer that heat a hundred times over rather than find myself subjected to that slop again. Sharlayan fare seems positively.. scrumptious in comparison.

[Wow, look at this petty immaturity she's displaying. Good thing he's so much more mature than her and refuses to stoop to such levels.

Even so she still provokes a grumpy look from him. Rest assured she is way more of a menace.]

...Indeed. [Said in the tone he usually takes when she starts to annoy him.]

Regardless, it is something we should keep in mind for the future. We may very well come across a world someday with food we are unable to eat or even one with none at all. [In which case they would be in serious trouble so... maybe it was possible to pack food from the Temple and take it with them when they traveled to other worlds. Just in case.]

[ she sure is petty!! petty and proud. at least she doesn't try to act like she isn't, alphinerd. besides, he really had it coming, using a word like scrumptious, the pretentious little tit. his crabby look is more than enough reward for her, though.. ]

Gods, let us hope it never comes to that.

[ the worlds they've been to thus far have been distant, their stays there quite long. even if they pack food from the temple, there's no way they could possibly make it stretch so long.. don't jinx us, alphinaud?? ]

[The sounds of Alphinaud thinking about how good only children must have it...........

As is in his nature he worries about this stuff a lot. There's no rhyme or reason for the type of worlds they're thrown into beyond "they need your help" and that makes the spectrum of what they could walk into too broad. He wants to be prepared but it's impossible.

He suddenly seems very tired.]

Aye, let us hope. Although it is impossible to prepare for every possible scenario we should do what we can. With all the variety in powers Astoria gave us surely there are some who gained ones that may be useful in such a scenerio.

[Maybe he should ask around...]

[ yeah if only he weren't around and she could not have to deal with him.. what a life..

anyway, she sits back in her seat, exhaling hard. the curry was a mistake, but at least she's full of real food. ]

As luck would have it, I know of someone with just such an ability.

[rude...

Naturally that gets his attention quickly.]

Oh? Who might that be?

[He'd be curious to know more about it. Its limitations, for one. Surely these powers must have limiters in place and such an ability seemed like a good way to find out.]

His name is Dave. He is able to.. sing things into existence.

[ rap, really, but as far as i know there's no eorzean rap for her to be familiar with. ]

He made a very delicious sandwich, while we were on Struxta.

[That name seems... oh.] Ah, him? That's fortunate. I chanced upon him earlier, actually. He was kind enough to volunteer to gather some materials from the forest for me. [And brought back not a single caterpillar so he's already like five steps above Alisaie in usefulness with this particular task.

Alphinaud has been hard at work making medicine and anyone who had been willing to lend a hand to him is surely someone that can be trusted. Dave had brought back a lot and while a portion of it hadn't been what he needed he had found uses for it regardless.]

Although that power certainly does sound limitless. [Can he sing them a door that will take them home....

Anyway it's even more irritating to consider that such abilities can exist and yet he still got stuck with what he did. Why?]

[ wow watch those caterpillars be the key to curing this plague, then you'll eat your words, alpeanut!! and eat some caterpillars too, maybe!! ]

Aye, I've no idea if there's mayhaps a certain amount or size he is limited to, but even if so, 'tis a considerably useful ability.

[ not only is he able to make food when all there is to eat is slop, but he does not seem to be constrained by type of item, either. food, organic, inorganic.. he'd even made prompto like.. a printer? or something? she can't recall. something along those lines. ]

No doubt he shall be a popular man, should the need arise again.

[He'd rather have the plague, thanks.]

Very. Hopefully he is willing to test it since I'd be most curious to know more. [He seemed like the type who would be totally down for that though. He did just up and accept the quest to gather the herbs without question. An adventurer in the making.

He smiles.] Thank you for the information. In the meantime I did have other things to attend to so I will leave you to your meal.

[Don't wolf it down this time and choke or something, please...]

[ dave seems a pretty easygoing guy, so alisaie has no doubt that he would be more than willing to help, should alphinaud ask, but that's his task, now. she waves one hand. ]

Take care. Should I find anything else of interest, I will be sure to contact you.
