POPULATION: 35 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 Black Shadows 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, Purple Heart will be handling all transactions at the checkout counter. Even camp directors hold down normal jobs, you know. Strangely enough, Winter Wizard 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. Speaking of walking down memory lane, it seems the theater and the portal aren't the only places to relive some fond memories... or revisit ones that are better left in the past. Yes, it's memshare week. It doesn't matter if you cover yourself up from head to toe, or pirouette away from anyone who might make physical contact with you. Simple proximity OR eye contact is enough to get the ball rolling. As soon as this simple condition is met, you will find yourself reliving the other party's memories from their point of view. These memories can either be canon memories, or memories from the game they were previously in. Regardless of what the case may be, this effect will last until Week 4 officially begins. Have fun, everyone!

[well, she misheard that, so.]

—death?! I beg your pardon?

[getdrekt]

No.

[what]

Daath.

Two a's.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh...

[wait. wait, hold on a moment.]

This place is... from your world?

[getdrekt]

Not quite.

It's been... modified, in some notable ways. [for example, anything sharp is glued to the ground.]

But the person who made it was personally familiar.

[fishingforcompliments]

[...the person who made it...]

You knew one of the temple's gods...?

[getdrekt]

I did.

[he closes his sketchbook, placing it beside him.]

He was the leader of the Order I followed. Apparently, he was also the winner of the temple's contest, although I've yet to see it for myself.

[fishingforcompliments]

I see...

[hmm. it's not really much of a surprise, then, that they'd have a window into asch's world here...]

If you do not mind my asking - what was the Order you followed like...?

[getdrekt]

In a word?

Militant.

[fishingforcompliments]

...they employed knights as well?

[fuckin churches and their private militaries]

[getdrekt]

To put it mildly.

[he hums.]

Under the cathedral was a serpent's nest of rooms, pathways, cells, training rooms, and more. It housed and trained multitudes, in the name of the Order.

[wait,]

"As well"?

[fishingforcompliments]

...ah... yes.

["as well".]

The monastery I reside in, in addition to being the home of the Officers Academy, is also the headquarters of the Knights of Seiros.

[getdrekt]

[he ROLLS! HIS! EYES!]

Good to know that religion and enforcement go hand-in-hand everywhere.

[he points, though.]

It's not here, though. Ion must have made it that way.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[i mean, she can't really deny that, but]

...for the most part, they are peacekeepers...

[anyway.]

Ion... that is the name of the god you knew, then.

[getdrekt]

And so were we. But I cannot number how many I killed in its name.

[he's happy to drop that topic like a hot rock.]

Ion was the leader of the Order at the time. [just gonna. summarize this.] He was a symbol of peace, and largely [well, THIS ion] disapproved and disagreed with the Order's use of militarism and force. He wasn't a god at the time—but I'm told he became one in the temple.

[fishingforcompliments]

[WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT, ASCH. flayn looks pained, and she is more than glad to swap to the subject of ion himself.]

...for someone to become a god—

[hmm. she shakes her head.]

What was it that allowed him to? ...that made any of them into gods?

[getdrekt]

[he shakes his head.]

I don't know. The only one left here who might is Majima. Otherwise, you'd have to write Yu or Guy a letter.

[fishingforcompliments]

I see...

[she doesn't really know how to broach the topic with majima, and letter writing might be easier said than done. oh well. she'll figure it out.]

[getdrekt]

[hhmmmmm]

Want a tour?

[fishingforcompliments]

[she looks up at that]

...you would not mind?

[getdrekt]

No. And it's better if you have a guide, in any case, especially in the sanctum proper.

[DAATH TEMPLE HALLS DOT GIF]

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh? Is the inside of the sanctum so complicated?

[getdrekt]

For some reason. More akin to an ant's nest than a building.

[AWFUL. WHY.]

[fishingforcompliments]

I see... if that is the case, I would appreciate your guidance.

[getdrekt]

Come on, then.

[and i'm just saying he gives her a tour and she can stop him with regards to any of the buildings or rooms in Piety's realm!!!]

[fishingforcompliments]

[onward they go!

she isn't going to have a lot of questions, but honestly, she's just going to gaze in admiration at a lot of the architecture... it's pretty.

perhaps unsurprisingly, she seems perfectly at ease in the church when they head in. in fact - she even seems a little more relaxed!]

...how long did it take to build all this...?
