Cam heard the crash through the wall and decided to investigate. They round the corner to artefact storage and are met with a wall of— "HOLY SHIT IS THAT MEAT?!??"

[Having finally found the location of the Christmas Party, Sasha scans the room for any signs of her coworkers; she has three wrapped presents held in her arms, stacked on top of a large tupperware box filled with something sweet-smelling.

[She's still wearing her work clothes, but she somehow obtained a pair of tacky christmas tree-themed glasses on her way here, which sit precariously on the end of her nose in front of her real glasses. She also has mini baubles for earrings.]

Tim? Jon? Martin? Are you guys here?

[Jon hears Sasha calling for them, and he walks over. He’s not particularly excited to be here, but he doesn’t mind talking to Sasha.]

Hello, Sasha.

Cam also makes his way over to Sasha and Jon. They’re holding a plate piled high with homemade christmas cookies. “Hello Jon, Sasha! Care for a festive treat?”

Hey Jon! It's good to see you, I was worried you wouldn't come-- I got you something! Here.

[She hands him one of the presents she's holding, the one tied with a green ribbon: it's hard and rectangular, vaguely book-shaped. She puts the other two presents down on a nearby table and starts to open the tupperware, when Cam appears.]

Oh, hi Cam, those look great, thanks! I'll trade you for a cupcake?

[Sure enough, inside the box is a batch of little cupcakes which she holds out to both of them, each one decorated with red and green buttercream icing. She takes a cookie in the other hand.]

Ah, um. Thank you, Sasha.

[Jon shrinks a bit. He didn’t think to get things for the others. He assumed that they also wouldn’t. It’s not like he’s been pleasant.]

@cam-eye-intern

Cam gladly takes the cupcake. Sasha has been probably the nicest to her so far, and they can't say no to carbohydrates!

"I didn't get any specific gifts, but I hope the sugar will make up for it!"

She offers a cookie to Jon.

@itspronouncedcalliope

You're welcome!

[she replies to Jon. She doesn't seem bothered that he didn't get her anything, happy to just give out her own.]

[She smiles as she takes a bite of the cookie.] Wow, Cam, did you make these?

@head-archivist-jonathan-sims

[Jon tries to remember if Cam’s mentioned anything about an interest in baking, but he can’t quite recall. Maybe he should be paying more attention to his assistants.]

@cam-eye-intern

“Yeah, I made them with my brother’s boyfriend yesterday! We both like baking but my brother doesn’t, so we do it together sometimes.”

Cam tries the cupcake Sasha offered her. “Ooh! Did you make this? The frosting is so yummy!”

ooc announcement

hey guys so. feel like this was a long time coming but anywayyyy

we are gonna be disbanding the main story rp. HOWEVER. i and the other members of the garchivist au are planning on writing a fic using the main story!!!

the gerry blog will remain up, he will just be storyless and going around as always. feel free to yap at him however you like :)

look out for announcements!! no idea what timeline we’ll be operating on, but we’ll figure something out :D thank you for reading!!

[Jon threw the statement he was holding on the stack with the other statements he's read. He lets out an annoyed sigh and takes off his glasses to massage the bridge of his nose.]

Another—attampt at a—joke of a statement, at least this one was more creative than the previous few. Can't say the same about the humor...

[Turning to the other assistents] Have any of you had better luck with your statements?

( @timberly-bloker @its-sasha-james @mk-blackwood-assistant )

[Sasha shakes her head, flipping though her notes.]

They’re not jokes, I think, but every single one can be chalked up to drinking, imagination, and poor lighting. All dead ends.

Yeah, I've been getting nothing but duds myself.

[His mind drifted to a particular statement he had found on his desk the other day. He didn't know how it had gotten there, but he knew that it had to be real. Maybe now would be a good time to mention it to the others...?]

Gerry seems awfully busy though. Considering we basically haven't had to do anything but put statements in his new 'discredited' section, it seems a bit weird, no?

“There could be some truth to the statements! They could be peoples weird…dreams? That felt significant enough to share with us..?”

*He’s clearly grasping at optimistic straws. There aren’t many beyond the fact that his last dud statement had been a guide on varying types of tea*

Cam feels a little awkward about joining the adults’ conversation, but they want to be included. After all, she’s almost an adult, and these are his coworkers. “I think it’s probably my job to get the unimportant stuff, but the statements I’m getting take me less time to discredit than they take to read.”

So nothing better on everyone else's end.

[Jon stayed silent for a few seconds.]

Normally I wouldn't complain because it's still our job but at this point I don't think we're doing anything useful or important with statements like these.

( @its-sasha-james )

And Gerry’s still running around, apparently busy all the time…should we ask him about it?

( @timberly-bloker )

I think we should. It's weird that in this entire archive, in the- what, the four months we've been working here, we haven't gotten a single real statement between the five of us, isn't it?

[TIM LEANED BACK AGAINST JON'S DESK AND SIGHED.]

I volunteer to go ask him about it, if no one else wants to.

( @martinblackwoodofficial )

”if it’s all ones which…may be duds, maybe Gerry’s getting duds too! I mean you can go and ask him, but I don’t want too.”

@cam-eye-intern

“I’m with Martin, I don’t think it’s my place to ask.”

@jon-archival-assistant

I would also like to ask him about it (whispering) and if he doesn't give us an answer I'm sure they are other ways of doing something useful here.

( @its-sasha-james )

[Sasha nods appreciatively.]

I can take a look through the digital records later if need be. Right then, let’s go confront the boss.

( @timberly-bloker )

No need to ask me twice, I always love solving a good mystery.

[TIM LAUGHED QUIETLY TO HIMSELF AND STANDS UP STRAIGHT.]

I don't mind going on my own, but if anyone else wants to come with, feel free.

( @martinblackwoodofficial )

"oh uhh! I'm okay thank you!"

*he nervously chuckles, not really wanting to deal with confrontation at the moment*

@cam-eye-intern

#tma roleplay #tma rp blog #unreality #ignorance is bliss

“I’ll uh, stay here with Martin.” Cam smiles at him, glad she’s not the only one nervous about this whole situation.

Cam feels a little awkward about joining the adults’ conversation, but they want to be included. After all, she’s almost an adult, and these are his coworkers. “I think it’s probably my job to get the unimportant stuff, but the statements I’m getting take me less time to discredit than they take to read.”

Cam nervously knocks on Gerry’s door. She isn’t eager to talk to her new boss again after how it went last time, but she’d been sent his way with a cup of… she’s not sure what kind of tea this is, but she hopes it’ll be a good enough peace offering.

- @cam-eye-intern

[Gerry blinks. He puts his files away in his drawer.]

Come in!

Cam pushes open the door cautiously and pokes her head in. “Sorry to interrupt- I was told to give these to you?” She holds out a small stack of papers. “I also made too much tea so I figured I’d offer that as well.” Cam internally congratulates herself on how professional she sounds- she’s starting to get the hang of this.

Oh, uh. Yeah. Thanks.

[Gerry gets up from his chair (in which he was leaning in and with his shoes on the desk, you know, professionally) and walks over to Cam.]

#rp chain #tma rp #unreality #rp #cam interacts #ignorance is bliss

Cam hands over the papers and waits for Gerry to set them down so she can give him the tea.

“So… about the other day. I’m sorry for-“ Cam pauses. She’s not really sure what she’s sorry for. Something clearly happened to make him angry. She’s not entirely convinced whatever it is was her fault, but an apology can’t hurt. “For upsetting you.” Those aren’t the right words, but it’s better than nothing and she can’t think of anything better.

Cam nervously knocks on Gerry’s door. She isn’t eager to talk to her new boss again after how it went last time, but she’d been sent his way with a cup of… she’s not sure what kind of tea this is, but she hopes it’ll be a good enough peace offering.

There is a knock on Gerry’s office door. He opens it to find Elias, standing beside a bright-eyed teenager. They can't be older than 17 and have an air of innocence about them that gives him a pang of envy. Elias smiles at Gerry in his unnerving way. "Hello Gerard. I hope you got my email about the new intern starting today?"

He sighs at Gerry’s confused look. "I suppose not. This is Camden. They will be shadowing you and the other archival staff for a week as the first part of their internship. You may go about your business as usual, just show them what you do. Oh, and please do make sure the others are informed. I highly doubt they read my emails either."

With that, Elias leaves, shutting the door behind him and leaving Gerry with an eager-looking intern who has no idea what they've gotten themself into.

- @cam-eye-intern

[Gerry stares at Camden for a few seconds, unsure of what to think.]

What. The fuck.

Cam looks taken aback. “Excuse me?”

Just— why? Why the hell work here? I didn’t even know we did interns.

[He buries his face in his hands.]

“I- because I’m a weirdo that likes sorting files? Because I needed money?”

You’re fucked. You’re absolutely fucked. Anywhere but here would’ve been-

[He makes a frustrated noise.]

Look, this place is worse than just “sorting files”. You can— look at Artefact Storage, or something, if you want any proof. But you need to leave.

“I- I’m just gonna…” Cam doesn’t know how to finish that sentence. They shuffle back out the door and close it with a quiet click.

Bastard…

ooc announcement!
