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 ♥]

[ this is why she was the best team mom, tbh..

though to be fair, that sneeze hardly earns her much. alisaie hikes a brow all but immediately. ]

Are you not certain that your time may be better spent putting yourself to bed, as well?

[Alisaie is not wrong.

The single raised eyebrow reminds her so much of Alphinaud, and of all of her astute Sharlayan friends, that she presses her lips together against a short laugh at first. Gods, what tangible judgment. ...She misses them terribly.]

I give you my solemn word that my next destination will be my own bed. It's possible I was on my way when I nearly tripped over you and thought to spare you the indignity of someone else's distraction.

[She can sass. She grew up knowing Thancred.]

.. well, yes, of course it is possible.

[ but is it true?? she sees the twinkle in those eyes, minfilia, that cherubic face is not to be trusted!! but all right, still, fair point, she is abashed. minorly. ]

But I suppose that seems a fair enough agreement.

[ she will go to bed so long as you do, too!! ]

[This is the most trustworthy face in all of Hydaelyn, she'll have you know!

But for now she is most concerned with seeing Alisaie to bed and not seeming to insult her capabilities in the process. The ever delicate balance of the Leveilleur family is not to be tipped lightly.]

Now that we are in agreement, you'll forgive me for admitting I've become a bit lost in all the changing scenery. Have you any idea which way we ought to turn?

[There are soft things everywhere and she hadn't had the best grasp of the temple layout even before her mind got fuzzy with a cold.]

Aye, my room is not far from here.

[ she starts, straightening her skirt, though her gaze hovers carefully on minfilia's face, and she makes no move to walk just yet. ]

Though should that be the case, mayhaps I should see you to your rooms, first.

[ she's been here long enough to know her way around well, even with pillows all in the way, and besides, she's not the one who's sick! ]

[Well, she'll need to learn her way about sooner or later. It might as well happen with a friend at her side.]

If you've a sense of where they are, with yours as a beginning point, I should be quite capable of following your instructions to reach them. If not...I rather deserve to get a bit turned about and lost, don't I?

[It will be a test of Alisaie's communication and Minfilia's navigation! One they might well both fail, but the consequences won't be too dire.]

At least 'tis easy to follow one's nose back to the kitchens if the worst should happen.

[ ah... alisaie's communication is often aggressive at best, and the extent of minfilia's navigation has been from the rising stones to the aetheryte and back, for the most part, so they're doomed.

but that isn't a bad idea at all. the kitchens are, at least, a common landmark. ]

Actually, I think we are best starting off there. 'Tis this way.

[ she's off!! ]
