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 doesn't matter! It's terrifying! Any girl would scream!

[swordflash]

You'd know all about making girls scream, wouldn't you? It's not terrifying at all!

[getdrekt]

And what's that supposed to mean, you wretch? Your drawing is an abomination. That's the bottom line.

[swordflash]

It's not!

What's your problem? Coming over here and then mouthing off like that! I'd like to see you do better!

[getdrekt]

Tch—give me that pen!

[he does not wait. he snatches the pen out of zeni's hand, just like he snatched his cinnamon roll, and pulls his travel guide out of his asspacket fannypack.]

Watch and learn.

[and he

starts

drawing an eerily real-looking t-rex???]

[swordflash]

[This ill-mannered ape is testing his patience.

The more Asch draws, the more Zenitsu's brow furrows. What, this guy is actually good at drawing? What a waste. More importantly:]

That's not a dragon. It's a dinosaur.

[getdrekt]

It's a monster! [he snaps, tapping the page irritably.]

[swordflash]

It's a dinosaur! Black Shadows told me. It's really tall and called a tyrannosaurus rex.

[getdrekt]

It's just a monster! They're known as the Blade Rex—this is just some other version of it!

[swordflash]

If it's another version, it should still be a dinosaur!

Anyway, this and that are completely different. I was drawing a dragon, okay?

[getdrekt]

Then you are no good at dragon drawing.

They are large, and have wings.

[swordflash]

I know that! Look, there are wings right here!

[Wings drawn with heavy lines and grungy shading.]

[getdrekt]

Those may as well be sharp clouds!

Look here, here is a cloud.

[and he draws one of those roundy puffy lil dudes,]

Now. You draw this.

[swordflash]

I know what a cloud is!

[He's not a baby. He knows these things. Huffing, he draws a stylized Japanese cloud on the corner of his own travel guide.]

There.

[getdrekt]

[squints]

No.

[swordflash]

Why no? What's wrong with it? A cloud's a cloud!

[getdrekt]

It looks nothing like mine.

Do it again.

[swordflash]

So? This is how I draw it.

I'm not doing it again.

[getdrekt]

Draw it like mine. Then you can learn a task.

[swordflash]

What, so this is for a task? Fine, then. I'll do it!

[This thug can stand to be more honest. Anyway, Zenitsu attempts to imitate Asch's cloud, and it's somewhat decent except for the fact that their drawing habits differ. His lines are always heavier and darker, and a touch exaggerated.]

[getdrekt]

Good.

[i mean

it wasn't?

but now it is??? do it!!!!!

...

he taps the new attempt.]

Bad.

[swordflash]

What's so bad about it?

[He jabs a finger at Asch.]

Just because it doesn't look exactly like yours, doesn't mean it's bad!

[getdrekt]

[he knocks the finger away!!!]

Tch. It doesn't mean it's good, either!

Try this.

[he draws

a lovely still life apple.]

[swordflash]

[Zenitsu looks (and feels) deeply scandalized after having his finger knocked away.

But there his hand goes again, moving perhaps too comfortably for Asch's artistic taste. The end product is about what one would expect by now, though it helps that an apple can't be monstrous (for the most part).]

There.

[getdrekt]

[WHY]

NO ONE WILL EAT THIS APPLE.
