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.

That must be difficult, then... Going to that kind of school when you don't like the cause...

[voidbreaker]

It's just an academy. Pretty sure only like... a third of the last graduating class actually went into the military. Graduating from Thors looks good on your paperwork, I guess.

[applechemist]

Oh, that's a relief - so you aren't being forced into anything you don't want to do.

[ Phew. Escha is just from such a small town that to her everything feels very... Universal. ]

Do you know what you want to do when you graduate?

[voidbreaker]

[ welcome to ash's plot in hajimari no kiseki, escha. ]

No idea.

Guess we'll find out after it happens.

[applechemist]

You're still young, you have time.

[ says Escha, who started her government job at age 15 ]

[voidbreaker]

You make it sound like you’re 50 years old.

[ escha imparting her wisdom to the young ‘un who is... four years her junior. thank you wise escha senpai. ]

[applechemist]

What - no! I just meant... You don't have to have it figured out yet!

[ Yeah Escha that was not the issue ]

[voidbreaker]

I figured. I'm not worried about it.

[ he's just vibin'...... vibe check ]

[applechemist]

Good!

... Um... Well, what sort of things do you do when you aren't in class?

[voidbreaker]

[ escha is trying so hard. ]

I like reading.

[applechemist]

[ She wants it to be a good date! ]

What sort of books?

[ because she. only reads alchemy recipe books. ]

[voidbreaker]

Any books. No book's a waste to read, even if you didn't enjoy it. You get something out of it.

[ broaden your horizons, escha ]

[applechemist]

I never thought about it like that... But you're right.

... I wonder if I should read more...

[voidbreaker]

What do you read normally?

[applechemist]

Alchemy books...?

[ the most predictable of answers... ]

[voidbreaker]

...

Anything else?

[ lawd ]

[applechemist]

...

[ doesn't want... to answer... ]

[voidbreaker]

...

[ oh




silence is bad. he reaches forwards and ... flicks her forehead! ]

You've got to expand your horizons.

[applechemist]

[ Weh! she rubs at it... ]

That's what traveling is for!

[voidbreaker]

Literary horizons, Escha.

[applechemist]

[ :(


... Wait! ]

Oh! I read... That book that Magnus got for me! Caleb Cleveland Kid Cop! Most of it!

[voidbreaker]

[



@ magnus your taste in books sounds terrible, but ok. ]

Most of it, huh? Is it fiction?

[applechemist]

Yes. It was about a little boy solving crimes! It was very fun.

[voidbreaker]

If you liked fiction, then branch out and read some others. Crime stories are really popular, so you’ll definitely find more of them.

...

It’d be way easier if there was a library here.

[applechemist]

Maybe next week we'll get a library... I wouldn't mind having more to read - we have a lot of time to spare during the week.
