WEEK TWO

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

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.

According to Akira-san, they are the ones in charge of the food.

[ it's fine though. he's a sword ]

Hm? Do you mean trying it in the first place? [ a beat ] It did smell good....

[voidbreaker]

Nah, I mean. Why the sudden love of spice, anyway?

[daifukus]

[ he shrugs through his agony ]

Perhaps somebody made a request? [ don't ask him why Black Shadows got carried away and made all of it spicy, spicier and spiciest though. ]

[voidbreaker]

[ okay but still... why. ]

It's a weird request to make. And if it's literally hurting you that much, maybe stop eating it?

[daifukus]

[ the suffering ]

It is good.. [ from what little he can still taste ] And I dislike wasting food.

[voidbreaker]

...

Your tastebud’s funeral then. You coulda gone for a lower spice level if you knew it was gonna be this much suffering to finish one bowl.

[daifukus]

It's the first time I've tried something like this.

[ and now he knows where his tolerance is so tbh, it was an attempt well worth it. wow look at tonbo putting thought(?) into this ]

But perhaps I should have gotten something to cool the spice down as well....

[voidbreaker]

There's probably milk out back. Or an ice pop or something.

That might help.

[daifukus]

[ o:

would it?? ]

[voidbreaker]

[ don’t just



stare at him blankly, tonbo. ]

[daifukus]

[ go get one for him, ash. he's dying in front of you ]

Does it go well together...?

[ these are new food combinations!! ]

[voidbreaker]

[ tonbo’s a big boy and has leggies ]

Milk — and bread, I think — both soothe spice. Dunno why, maybe it soaks it up or is thick enough to wash it away.

[ is there bread at the mess hall serving counter? who knows. ]

[daifukus]

That's good to know...

[ and since SOMEONE won't, tonbo will toddle off and return with a basket of bread for them to both munch on :unamused: ]

Since you are here, I brought back enough for the both of us.

[voidbreaker]

[ tonbo's an independent sword who don't need no handler. ]

Hm. Thanks?

[ he motions at the basket ] Although you need it more than me, so grab some before I do.

[daifukus]

[ oh he will. do you think he didn't already shove a roll in his mouth? nom nom the carbs ]

I find it only fair to bring back extra in thanks.

[ and since it seems? to be helping? he's gonna continue munching quite happily ]

Have you tried any of the dishes yourself? I know they're all rather spicy but I'm certain there's one or two that's rather mild.

[voidbreaker]

[ feast. ]

I'm fine with the first two, but I'm not touching the really red lookin' one.

[daifukus]

[ that's a laugh ]

That's certainly true. Even I fear melting at the thought of tasting such a spicy dish. There's only one person I know here who would even think it's possible to try.

[voidbreaker]

...

...

... ... not the same guy who thinks adding chillis to sweets is a great idea?

[daifukus]

[ looks at wwx. looks at ash ]

............. It may be.

[voidbreaker]

Yeah, seems about right.

[daifukus]

[ that sure is a dry laugh ]

Mm, I would have thought so. He does like his spices....


[ sound less fond, tonbo ]

[voidbreaker]

Too much.

[ yeah tonbo. drag fatasswideloadxian, it's the only valid way. ]

Like, a little? Sure. That's fine. In literally everything? Nah.

[daifukus]

I'm certain he would find a way to drink it as well.

[ tonbo, who has in fact seen the death congee mem: haha ]

[voidbreaker]

That sounds like the point you need to stage an intervention at.

[daifukus]

[ he laughs sheepishly ]

As long as he's not harming anyone.....
