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 ♥]

I'm not that bad off—

[But she probably should be resting. The rest of what Alisaie has to say strikes her as odd, however, and she feels her face flush suddenly for reasons she can't quite put her finger on, but is pretty sure has nothing to do with the illness.]

Alphinaud? I found him asleep in a hallway earlier, so it's not like he's one to talk—

[Um.]

[adelphoi]

[ ah. the accidental tattle-tale!! though you might expect her to get all salty about this, she actually looks.. sheepish. exhaling a breathless chuckle, she scratches idly behind one ear. ]

.. aye, I did as well.

[ she also kind of fell asleep right next to him, too. what!! it seemed like a good idea at the time!! but, AHEM, she clears her throat. ]

Still, that does not mean you could not use the rest as well.

[Ann breathes a sigh of relief. Good to know she wasn't the one to blow his cover.]

I bullied him back to his room, at least, so he's getting some good rest now.

[She won't mention what happened after that— seems like both she and Alisaie will be remaining tight-lipped about their encounters. For now, however...]

Alright, alright. I'll take your advice. We'll have to catch up sometime when I'm not sick, too. [She pushes herself away from the table, reaching for her dishes to clear them away.] Take care of yourself in the meantime, okay? We don't want you catching whatever this is.

[ success!! as ann bullied alphinaud, so too now does alisaie bully her in return. she's already standing to gather up her plates and bowls as well, stacking them up to carry them toward the sink. ]

I shall do my best, you can be sure.

[ which means she's going to work herself to the absolute bone, naturally, but somehow she'll manage not to get sick. at least, not until after the plague is gone. amazing. ]
