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!

[ . . . . ? ]

We've had an endgame. It's always been to rescue everyone, burn this place to the ground, and then move on.

We still need to figure out how to break this stupid cycle and everything else, though.

[personal profile] getdrekt 2020-07-01 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed. But that's not a solid concept. That's an inspirational speech. Not everyone is going to be moved by your spirit.

People move on proof, and fight for things they want to protect. For some people, this is it.

[????????????

she doesn't see the difference but]


Fine, then you've heard it - everyone we're looking to save is here somewhere.
getdrekt: ('Cause there's a hole)

[personal profile] getdrekt 2020-07-01 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[lili.]

Don't brush it off—if you want everyone's participation, use what they care about. A leader rallies everyone—not just the people that happen to agree with them.

[did he just call her a leader.]
coastal: (✧ the princess has arrived)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-07-01 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[she frowns at that and shakes her head]

But I wasn't talking in abstracts. We've known since the beginning that there are people who aren't here. We should have always had them in mind.

If people feel more relieved knowing that it's confirmed that they're out somewhere, that's fine, but I don't see how anything's changed.

[she's not meant to be a leader, she's too stubborn]

Our cause has always been the same.
getdrekt: (where your soul should be)

[personal profile] getdrekt 2020-07-01 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[he shrugs.]

Then convince people of that, and maybe we'll have a murder-free week.

[no.]
coastal: (✧ and not strings)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-07-01 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[she shakes her head]

If no one murders on Thursdays, the entire game is forfeit and everyone dies. I hate it, obviously, and I still don't find it forgivable - but we can't have a 'murder-free week' until we determine how to dismantle the game in the first place.
getdrekt: ('Cause there's a hole)

[personal profile] getdrekt 2020-07-01 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we should all draw straws for who murders, then. Then we all know, and we can end the trials quicker.
coastal: (✧ like i write what i sing)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-07-01 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
I've been thinking about that, actually.

For the past two weeks, we've only had one body each time. There's two theories - one is that they were done by the same person.

The second is that they were done by two different people, but how did they know not to overlap? If it was done to buy us time and not because someone is bloodthirsty, that's the only explanation for why there wasn't more than one body.

It's the bare minimum of casualties... so it's either someone who is acting repeatedly on their own, or there's something else to it.
getdrekt: (that need to get slew)

[personal profile] getdrekt 2020-07-01 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

Someone's protecting them, and assisting them ahead of time.

[Someone was doing the dirty work for them.]

If they're performing the service. If you found them. Would you support them?
coastal: (✧ and not strings)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-07-01 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . . she hesitates at that.]

'Support' is a strong word, and I never support murder of innocents. In particular, I don't support cruelty in the way that we know for certain what happened to Hikage was not easy or simple.

[like that was crossing the line.]

But if my guess is right, and someone is doing this to ensure we don't run out of time - it's not as easy as condemning their actions either, if we were to be at a total loss without them.
getdrekt: ('Cause there's a hole)

[personal profile] getdrekt 2020-07-01 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

In that case, I wonder if the murder needs to be unknown. For example, someone can't agree to be killed—it has to be the killer's choice, or it invalidates it.
coastal: (✧ both his and hers; i want it)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-07-01 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . she looks thoughtful at that.]

It's not impossible... but there's no way to confirm that until we actually find one of them.
getdrekt: (where your soul should be)

[personal profile] getdrekt 2020-07-01 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
With things going the way they are, perhaps they're simply choosing overly private targets.

So they might only be killing people they don't have any personal connections with.
coastal: (✧ and not strings)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-07-01 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . . . she seems to hesitate at that, but pushes forward - ]

I've heard that theory, too.

But it remains that there's an odd trend of losing more Purple Heart or Winter Wizard team members over the weeks.
getdrekt: ('Cause there's a hole)

[personal profile] getdrekt 2020-07-01 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
And?

What theory stands out as most true to you?
coastal: (✧ both his and hers; i want it)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-07-01 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know yet.

Purple Heart is shaky, considering that Tsurumaru was an accident, no one knew Yu's team or power not even Guy, and Hikage kept his close to the chest as well.

So I think it's more likely that they're targeting people that they don't know all too well, of the murders that were purposeful.
getdrekt: ('Cause we hate what you do)

[personal profile] getdrekt 2020-07-01 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yu and Hikage were from the Temple and the Castle, correct?

So it stands to reason that it's most likely someone from outside those realms.
coastal: (✧ first thing girl did was a bop)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-07-01 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
If you think it's the same person acting twice, which we don't have confirmed.

The Castle also don't necessarily all get along with each other - and I could say the same for the Temple.

Most places have more divided individuals.

[the only obvious exception that really comes to mind is herself, tsuru, and kara, but that's also what happens when there's only 3 of them]
getdrekt: (where your soul should be)

[personal profile] getdrekt 2020-07-01 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
If it was Majima, he would have killed Guy, not Yu. I can't speak for the Castle.

[SHRUG...]

It's either one killer, or two coincidences. And broadly speaking, the boat's members have the best reason to fight.
coastal: (✧ that's strange)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-07-01 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think that it could've been a coincidence.

[she's just. ruling that out. the timing and happenstance of everything are way too weird for it to really be a coincidence if you ask her.]

... but do they? What we're being promised isn't even entirely what we're owed...
getdrekt: ('Cause there's a hole)

[personal profile] getdrekt 2020-07-01 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
[he shrugs again.]

The most likely answer is a group of people protecting each other, and taking turns doing it, taking advantage of the stakes, and the rules.
coastal: (✧ i see it; i like it)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-07-02 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . she looks thoughtful about it.]

Maybe. We cannot confirm until we get something right, and manage to dredge the confession out of their throat.

[which like

she plans on doing]
getdrekt: ('Cause your words don't translate)

[personal profile] getdrekt 2020-07-02 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
...I think we'll end up with more questions than answers, even if we do catch someone.
coastal: (✧ both his and hers; i want it)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-07-03 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
That's always going to be the case before it's over - right? Right now we don't know the extent of what we don't know, so we have to gather information to ask the right questions.

Then we'll get answers to those questions.

It's the only way to proceed.
