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 ♥]

[ honestly? yea. ]

Eheheh, I'll try!

[ "try"

"""try""" ]

[crystallomancy]

............I hope that you DO.

[ not that he believes her at. all.

ugh. ]

AnyWAY, about your pillow... FORT. [ he's still hesitant to call this sprawling mess it ??? ] Is it impossible for you to make something out of paper that would assist you in constructing IT? This has only just occurred to me to ASK.

[twitter]

Possibly! I'd need to test it out, and I think what it can do might depend on the size.


[ she's actually considering the logistics of this. normal-sized origami would probably be helpful in doing just very basic helper tasks, but if she had larger pieces it could potentially help with heavier things.. hm. ]

[crystallomancy]

[ that makes sense. hmm. ]

I wonder if the type of paper used would affect its capabilities as WELL.

[twitter]

It could be! Even with origami in general, the kind of paper you use affects the end results. So using regular writing paper versus construction would make it look different.

[ maybe magical construction paper can lift weights. ]

[crystallomancy]

[ oh, that's a level of origami he hadn't realized ]

I'd imagine using construction paper is a little HARD. There's a reason origami paper is so thin and flexiBLE, isn't THERE?

[twitter]

[ she just grins. ]

You can use most kinds of paper! It's not all going to look the same, but for something like this [ she gestures at... well. nothing, it's more of a figurative "this" ] I think thin paper won't hold the weight too well.

[crystallomancy]

[ like "this" but there's nothing there...... well, whatever. ]

Probably NOT. Can you make origami out of cardBOARD, or is that where you draw the LINE?

[ can cardboard ever be flexible enough for this. some of it's really thin sometimes right. ]
