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.

[ welcome to my lair, naru ]

Why’d you think it’s got to be complicated?

[ hm maybe i shouldn't have come here. ]

They seemed much more complicated in the game I played.

[ because, you know, he has never been on a proper date?? ]

You went on dates in your last murder-outing?

[ wow, giyuu. spill the beans. ]

[ giyuu and his otome....... ]

No, it was a game that I played while we were on the bus.

You went on a date in a game?

[ washiko.... ]

[ washiko.... u_u ]

Yes. It was a game that Tsurumaru had played in the past, or a game similar to it.

And you went on a date in that?

[ he'll nod. ]

The point of the game was to "find love", so yes.

That's pretty ambiguous.

It is, but I wasn't able to finish it. [ ... ] I have the game itself along with the machine needed to play it on.

[ BUT NO TV? ]

If you have the game and what you need to run it, then that should be it, right?

[ does zemuria have games consoles i don’t even know their most people game is a card game ]

[ weeps in fantasy technology... but giyuu will frown. ]

I don't have anything to plug the machine into.

[ what is the word that he's looking for? tv? he doesn't know what a tv is... he knows this word though thanks to info dumps. ]

Some sort of monitor.

Huh.

It's easy to find those back home, but -- [ he just waves a hand ] Here not so much. You asked the directors about it?

Do you think they'll give me one if I've asked?

I received these in the first place because I asked.

[ what is the policy in these things? ]

... So they gave you the game, and the thing to play it in, but not the full package to actually sit down and see what you're playing?

[ ... dick move. ]

[ ....

you know when you put it that way.... ]

Yes, that's exactly what happened.

Then get a refund or ask for the monitor. Full bundle or they can shove it.

Can you do that sort of thing?

... I thought you said you'd already asked them for something once, you tell me.

This has been the first item that I've asked of them.

So go wild and try asking about a monitor. Maybe offer them a game to sweeten the deal, I don't know.

[ i.

it sounds like a solid idea? but? ]

Is that really what I should be asking them in a time like this?

That’s up to you. If you wanna sit around pensively while we all drop dead, you can be miserable. No one’s stopping you.

We're not going to all drop dead.

[ more will die, yeah but all of them?? ]

If we play this right, sure. Ask them anyway, might as well have a bit of fun while you're here.
