Don't Skip Your Flu Shot

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 ♥]

[ look she would take that as a compliment. tenacious, and also hungry. these describe her well.

anyway, while he's busy yapping and picking leaves, alisaie makes friends with a nearby caterpillar, watching it crawl onto her finger, its wiggly body undulating. look how hairy it is.. how can people not find these cute?? but soon enough she glances back to him. ]


Do you need assistance gathering the higher vines?

[ it's like she's a mindreader or something ]

[Or something. It's just their wonder twin powers at work, probably.

He pauses at the suggestion. He glances toward the tree to examine it. It does look pretty climbable with the thick branches and how they're spaced. Most of the leaves are growing higher on the vine too. Aside from the caterpillar nests everywhere that would have to b avoided it's easy enough. And stable looking enough that he isn't too worried about her falling.

He glances back to her and nods.]


If you think you can climb it then I've no objections to the help. The more that we can take back now the less trips I will have to make later.

[ ah, alphinaud...

alisaie shakes her head. ]


I've a better idea.

[ she shuts her eyes, focuses for a moment and.. poof! in a flurry of light she becomes................ a dhalmel.

with a red bow on one ear. ]
spellweave: (» very good then!)

[He honestly didn't think she'd take his words to heart so this definitely surprises him. Then again proving that he is indeed not always right is her favorite hobby so maybe he should have seen this coming. He cranes his neck back to look up at her. Waaaay up.

... The red bow on her ear is endearing. Did her other animal forms have that? He can't recall. Is that the source of her power?? Probably not but it's a thought that amuses him.]


'Twas indeed a better idea. Hopefully you are not tempted to eat them? [Do Dhalmels even eat leaves? He doesn't know.......

He also doesn't know how she plans to get them down beyond plucking them herself with her mouth. Or pulling the vine down? Unless she intends for him to get on her back or something but he might object to that.....]

[ truly the power was in her hair ribbon all along. alphinaud's hair ribbon actually possesses the ability to turn him into inanimate objects. time to become a bucket of water!!

anyway, alisaie gives him a withering look with her dhalmel face, then lifts her head up into the canopy to break off like.... an enormous branch with her mouth, which she sets down at his feet. seriously, it's huge. ]

[He objects!!

Wow, that's an unnecessarily large branch. He's somewhat amused she managed to find one that didn't have caterpillar cocoons on it. So considerate. He takes a step back to look at it. Even so it has what he needs on it as the vine wraps around this branch. There are definitely more leaves on it since most animals can't get this high for them.

He approaches it to pick them all off. It's a process that takes a bit of time because not all the leaves are in good shape and he has to check this. Still, it is more than enough and when he's finished the bag he's using is more than half full.]


I think that will suffice for now. [But he charted the path here in his head and knows he can find it again tomorrow on his own if need be.

[ look it would probably be super useful!! not as cool as her power, sure, but he will never be as cool as her, that is his curse.

anyway she's quick to shift back, because this form is even less dignified than most of the others she's taken. ]


I think I shall venture a bit further, if you feel confident enough making your way back on your own?

[Look we can't all be red mages that backflip into AOEs like her.

As fascinating a power as it is it's still pretty amusing to see her shift into creatures like that. He nods.]


Of course. Try to return before it gets dark. [He isn't too concerned about it though. These woods aren't dangerous and he's pretty sure it loops back to the Temple if one strays too far.]

Should you find anything else you feel would be useful I'd be glad to take a look should you bring it back. [Don't bring back anymore caterpillars though.]

[ that sounds like jealousy to me.. at least she doesn't stand out in the middle of nowhere never paying attention to mechanics and always being out of range!! besides she's an npc, she has like 4 billion health. ]

Aye, I shall. Be careful on your way back.

[ 300 caterpillars coming right up ]

[That doesn't excuse the backflip into an AOE during the instance quest in 4.2, Alisaie!!]

I will be cautious. [And so he will, leaving her now to do whatever exploring suites her fancy.

If he finds any caterpillars in his bed during their time here so help him........]
