WEEK ONE

▽ FULL NAVIGATION ▽ LOCATIONS ▽ STATUSES ▽ IC PROFILES ▽ IC RULEBOOK ▽ MURDER PROPOSALS ▽ PCS ▽ CURFEW ▽ AUDIENCES ▽ CAMP STORE ▽ REPORTING

POPULATION: 39 Rise and shine, everyone! At 7:00 AM on the dot, those who are asleep will be roused from their slumber by the sound of a bugle call. It seems that breakfast is now served in the Mess Hall. How nice! It's up to you to decide if you want to continue sleeping or not... But maybe it's a good idea to grab a bite and explore your surroundings. After all, it seems the fog has receded enough to reveal a few new locations. Regardless of what you do, be sure to check the weather before stepping outside. You never know when you might need an umbrella! Once you're up and at them, though, there are a few points of interest this week. If you swing by the Director's Office, you will find Purple Heart manning the receptionist's desk or flitting in and out of the rooms down the hallway. This week's tasks are now available, and you can check them out on the announcement board in the waiting room. Should you visit the Camp Shop, Winter Wizard will be handling all transactions at the checkout counter. Even camp directors hold down normal jobs, you know. Strangely enough, Black Shadows doesn't seem to be stationed at any set location. Maybe it's their week off? Oh, well. Seems like if you want to get ahold of them, you'll have to pay your respects to the bunnies. As you explore the camp, however... You may find yourself confronted by scenes from a not so distant past. Or, perhaps, the so-called-movies playing on the big screen are completely foreign to you. But that's not all you will have to deal with this week. Continue skimming the edges of the forest, and you will find yourself going down memory lane. Literally. To further complicate matter, at the start of this week everyone will wake up with a tattoo of a star on the back of their hands. Though you will be unaware of its purpose at first, it will quickly become apparent the moment you say the words "I wish" out loud. It's a wish granting star! Or, well, sort of. Regardless of what you wish for, the result of the wish is always material, small, and never actually useful for what the character actually desires. They cannot cause effects or change anything, nor will it result in a weapon or items that can be used to solve a murder. For example, wishing for an exit will result in an Emergency Exit sign materializing in your hands. You will all get three wishes each. The star will become fainter with each wish, until disappearing once they make their third wish. All items gained through this effect will disappear once Week 2 officially begins. Good luck.

It'll be well-deserved.

For further unrelated reasons.

[vigilantics]

Alas... they will never learn who did the crime.

Some things are just unsolvable.

[survivaltricks]

Life would be boring without a bit of mystery to spice it up, wouldn't it?

[vigilantics]

People on the internet will dedicate entire forums creating theories about it.

[survivaltricks]

It'll go down in history as the most exciting urban legend to date.

[vigilantics]

That we are not involved with in any way whatsoever.

[survivaltricks]

Not even a little bit.

[he's very good at keeping a straight face]

[vigilantics]

I am running out of things to say to delay the inevitable.

[ chores ]

[survivaltricks]

[uuuuuuuugh]

. . . I guess we should just get it over with.

[vigilantics]

This is so cruel. I don't even do this back home.

[survivaltricks]

Neither do I, and I worked in a flower shop. . .

[everything is so muddy from the rain]

[vigilantics]

I can't believe it didn't train you for this moment.

[ it is. horrible.

but she will go to pull some weed 420 ]

[survivaltricks]

[press 420 to pay respects]

[he crouches down next to her and starts yanking up some weeds as well. are these weeds? sure hope these are weeds]

It mostly trained me to speak the language of the flowers. Useful, but not in this situation.

[vigilantics]

[ steph is just assuming they are weeds and she does not know better to tell. ]

What are they currently saying?

[survivaltricks]

[sorry if they pull up some actual plants, Shadows]

They're saying, "please harvest some vegetables while you're pulling weeds so Shadows can make something delicious in the mess hall next week."

[vigilantics]

Wow... they are looking so far ahead. I like that.

[ she glances at him ]

What are they hoping that they make?

[survivaltricks]

[he pauses]

[he leans forward to listen to one of the carrots they haven't harvested]







Curry.

[vigilantics]

Ohhh.

[ she leans in too, as if she also can listen to plants. ]

Good suggestion, carrots.

[survivaltricks]

[the plants are not saying anything. they're just carrots]

I agree, but I wonder what the cabbage thinks?

[vigilantics]

This is a democracy, after all.

[ she looks over to the cabbages.

what do they say... ]

[survivaltricks]

[I don't know cabbages don't speak]

. . .

The cabbages want okonomiyaki.

[vigilantics]

Akira, there seems to be a conflict of interests here.

[survivaltricks]

How are we supposed to resolve this dispute, Steph? The votes are tied, and the National Diet is in a deadlock.

[vigilantics]

I believe there is only one thing we can do... we have to ask the potatoes to choose between them.

[survivaltricks]

Do you think that'll work? What if the potatoes want mashed potatoes? Or french fries? Or worse--

Tater tots?
