POPULATION: 37 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 Winter Wizard 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, Black Shadows will be handling all transactions at the checkout counter. Even camp directors hold down normal jobs, you know. Strangely enough, Purple Heart 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, you will quickly discover that something about you has changed. At the start of the week, every single one of you will find yourselves aligned with one of four elements: fire, water, air or earth. Though your affiliation will not allow you to perform any outright elemental manipulation, you will find yourself reflecting your affiliation through one physical attribute. For example: A fire aligned may become hot to the touch, an earth aligned might discover their skin is now coarse like sandpaper, an air aligned might find their hair constantly flowing in an unfelt breeze, and a water aligned might be................. very sweaty. Whatever the case, this effect will fade away once Week 3 officially begins.

I have. Think the counselors have been listening in to our conversations?

[ Because after talking about dating... they get dating. ]

[survivaltricks]

Probably.

[wow he admits to that so easily]

[shortfornow]

[ Giving a nod to the theater exit. ]

We already were talking about it, so might as well take the time to go for it.

[ Could be a good distraction. ]

[survivaltricks]

[an exasperated sigh! but Akira smiles and nods]

Well, I no longer have a good argument against doing it, so sure.

Where are we going?

[shortfornow]

I did take Chuuya out already and he's fine with it.

[ Look, communication. Offering his arm so it can be a proper date. ]

We can go through the portal and check out one of those gateways.

[survivaltricks]

Good.

[. . . eyeing that arm, before he reaches out to take it in his own]

[plz excuse the SUDDEN STATIC SHOCK, Dazai]

[shortfornow]

[ For a moment, Akira will probably feel warmth from that. Dazai body temp is running warmer than it should be.

Yanking his arm back. ]

Let me guess.. that's your curse this week.

[survivaltricks]

[also jerking back in surprise]

Ah-- [oh]

. . . I sure hope not.

[shortfornow]

You could always tell people that you have a sparkling personality.

[ He's not going to try to link arms after that. Time to lead the way out of the theater ]

[survivaltricks]

[following Dazai, though only after shooting one last glance at the theater]

You'll set their expectations for me way too high.

[shortfornow]

I'm sure you'll manage to exceed their expectations.

[ Time to head to where the portal is. ]

[survivaltricks]

Eh.

[yeah, that's. all he's saying before they head through the portal]

[shortfornow]

[ Through the portal and off to the gateways they go. ]

I haven't peeked in all of them yet, so we're going in blind.

[ Will this count as a blind date then? ]

[survivaltricks]

[maybe???]

I haven't been in them at all, so this is my first excursion into the unknown.

[shortfornow]

[ Looking at each gateway before he just points to one. ]

I can't promise it'll be safe, but I'll look after you while we explore. I am the one who asked you out after all.

[ And also Chuuya would want his friendo back in one piece. ]

[survivaltricks]

That's right. You have to be my knight in shining armor.

[. . . Akira. . .]

[shortfornow]

Sure sure. I'll play the knight in shining armor. Though it might be some time before I can carry you off into the sunset.

[ Through the gateway they go and they'll find themselves on a train platform. Huh.

There also seems to be a path ahead. ]
