Spring Cleaning

Chores aren’t for everyone. And, as the morning reaches a close, it turns out that they are especially not for wizards.

That is to say, someone may have cast a spell animating all of the mops, brooms and dishcloths on-board, which are now sweeping their way up and down the carriages, cleaning everything - and everyone - they can reach. And animating anything else they can find, for maximum efficiency. Books, clothing, cutlery-

This isn’t so bad in the bathrooms. In the library, however? The armory? Bang, and the dirt is gone.

Open Mic

The ground floor of the music carriage is usually a mess of instruments, but tonight they’ve all been tucked away neatly at one end of the room. Chairs from the upper floor have been carried down en masse, all facing towards the jukeboxes and screens at the other end.

You might not be entirely sure who rigged them for karaoke, but you know one thing: you’re here now, a drink in one hand and a list of popular (by someone’s standards) songs in the other. If people aren’t singing or waiting to sing, they’re cheering friends on, or skulking and trying everything in their power not to be called up, or even escaping upstairs to talk more comfortably.

’Til Death Do Us Part

The world of Abarranz is ruled by the Undying Lords, and has been for almost two thousand years. The civilisation has stagnated - not only due to the immortal council, but also because the majority of its citizens are undead. Some, the rich, the powerful, are able to undergo great rituals to maintain their consciousness and skill even in death; others are unfortunate enough to be dragged into death with neither, and exist as shells of themselves. The greatest necromancers of the planet are harnessing the death of a minor star in the system to fuel a mass conversion of the remaining populace, but the remaining living citizens are those who have already refused the change. Voidtreckers, they cannot resist alone.

Team One

Pockets of the living survive in hiding, but are split off from one another and unable to unify under the overwhelming forces surrounding their enclaves. This first team is tasked with clearing the mindless hordes threatening them, so that they might establish communications, venture out, and join the fight.

Team Two

The best way to escape the ritual is to remove the remaining living to another colony in the system - but the rituals and spells able to do so are all jealously guarded by the eternal council in their libraries and vaults. A viable target has been identified - the treasure rooms of the Viscount Eldermann holds a tome rumoured to contain a mass teleportation ritual. Infiltrating and securing this tome is this team’s task, and while the mission is possible, the traps and guards won’t make it easy.

Team Three

Even with these plans in motion, every second counts. This third team is given the role of saboteur - to interrupt, delay or otherwise slow the Grand Ritual of a Star’s Demise from within the stronghold of the Undying Lords. The dressing carriage - and their SCA wristbands - are at their disposal, the former for appropriate Abarranz costume and pallor, the latter to hide the telltale signs of life, should they have any.

Kitchen

If you pass by the kitchen, you might find yourself getting hit with something wonderful smelling. If you go to investigate, you'll find a girl, possibly no older than 10 running back and forth from the various shelves with various pots being cooked. Is she doing the cooking?!

"Hi! Sorry, I saw all these recipes and my curiosity got the better of me!" Sasami said, smiling widely. "Care to have some? I don't want it to go all to waste!"

Spring Cleaning

Cleaning and Sasami? Always going hand and hand! She's made it her duty to clean up her room and some of her roomies' rooms so that they can enjoy their rooms better. Of course, the arrival of the magically-animated items makes things easier.

"Oh, wow, that's so cool!" Sasami said, watching the army of cleaning items march through, cleaning things up. Of course, some of them might be turning to aim at Sasami. "Uuuh, y-yes?"

'Til Death Do Us Part

Team One

How many times did she hear everyone tell her to stand aside, that she didn't need to get involved in this? Of course, the second one of the undead fell to a staff to the head, being held by Sasami, things might just get a little better.

"You guys need all the help you can get!" Sasami said. Her hand reaches up to the other twintail and pulls her tie off, turning it into a staff and stabbing it into the ground for someone else to grab, letting her blue hair flow free. "If you need a weapon, use that!"

(OoC: Got a prompt I could hit up instead? Go ahead and toss it!)

"No, I wouldn't want to impose...." Ken begins, already feeling rather in the way just by having walked in. She's so industrious in here, after all!

Wormmon, however, has perked up at the offer of Food. He's trying not to cause problems for his partner, but he rubs his top legs together and his mandibles begin to water. He clears his throat, eyes shining with bashful longing. "Aggghhhug. Hyeh."

Re: kitchen

[saint_sami]

“You sure? I don’t mind at all, really!” Sasami said. He must be caught off-guard by what she’s done. She’s so used to how things are at home, it didn’t occur to her how others would think.

She caught notice of Wormmon’s begging before giggling at it. “Well, at least someone does. Is it okay?”

Re: kitchen

[ourtomorrow]

Ken checks Wormmon's expression and - yes, he sees what Sasami means. It's hard to argue with a face like that, isn't it?

Plus, she'd reassured him, so he steps in further and looks for a good place to put Wormmon so his partner can eat. "We appreciate it."

"Thank you!"

Wormmon has good manners. Even when he's all but sparkling with delight.

Re: kitchen

[saint_sami]

“You’re welcome!” With that, Sasami goes to fix Wormmon a meal, then sits it by the Worm Digimon, smiling happily at that.

“So nice, too...!”

[ourtomorrow]

"Ehehe."

Ken picks up the utensils to feed Wormmon, murmuring his own pre-meal formality. Down the hatch, Wormmon!

What's on the menu today? And....is it any good??
