WEEK THREE: MINGLE

[gatonina]

WEEK THREE

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

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. IT'S NICE THAT THEY GOT ASSIGNED TO A PRIVATE BEACH RESORT THEY'LL NEVER SEE.

Which is to say, Wei Wuxian doesn't know what an airport is! He can't read the guide!! Maybe they'd be able to Luck Stat their way through but it's Delta Airlines so they're never fucking leaving. He's just standing there in the middle of this hustle and bustle that they de-carriage into, with his little white board and the groom hat that he's stuffed into his shirt.]

What... is happening.

[okitactless]

[WELL IT'S CERTAINLY TRUE THAT LIFE IS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE

If this were an expedition from home, he'd be far more enthused about it, but he's not feeling too charitable towards their hosts right now. Still, Yasusada's here and he's calm, so. Here they are.

He stares at crowd of people with their oversized luggage and their screaming children, then turns back to Wei Wuxian.]

Can't we just play the game here?

[THE RULES TECHNICALLY DON'T SAY THEY HAVE TO ACTUALLY MAKE TO THE ISLAND]

[givethemhell]

[HONEYMOON IN THE AIRPORT....... Honestly, he kind of wants to go see the private beach resort just because it's been a long time since he's seen a big open body of water that wasn't a murder lake or the cursed ocean surrounding the bang boat, but.]

Ah, well. We could try? The worst they could do is penalize us or just not award us with anything useful, and to be honest, I don't care if we don't earn a prize.

[RAISING HIS HANDS. He's just tired. He would like to win a 3 week nap, actually. Also he has the picnic basket since i forgot about that but that's the only good thing about this cursed endeavor to him so far.]

--Alright! Let's find a place to sit and have a nice snack. From what I saw, the game just involves answering questions, anyway.

[okitactless]

The reward from last time isn't bad, though...

[He wants another pillow

BUT HEY maybe they can try again after they have a picnic. Surely they'll be energized? He needs practice exploring the world before Hanamaru season 2.

ANYWAY. Is he wearing the "bride" hat like a dingus, he probably is. WHAT'S A BRIDE, who cares, it's pretty weak armor but it's better than nothing.]

Alright. Maybe over there? [POINTING towards the Help Desk, which everyone is avoiding because there's a man behind the counter glowering at them all. It's Jiang Cheng.]

[givethemhell]

Hah, well! That's true, mine was very cute.

[EVEN IF IT WAS USELESS. This is fine though, time to go have a picnic near the help desk.]

Sure, sure! Let's head that way.

[AWAY THEY GO!! He'll. He'll literally just sit in front of it and start unpacking their tasty food, while the glowering man is like Excuse me. Can I help you. Wei Wuxian ignores the fuck outta him. He really is Jiang Cheng.]

Where shall we start, then? Do you want to go first, or should I?

[okitactless]

[Well, if Wei Wuxian's going to ignore him, then Yasusada will give him a little wave and then plop down to... also ignore him. What terribly newlyweds(???) they make. At least there's delicious food?!]

Hmm, you can go first!

[givethemhell]

[This guy is still trying to get them to move and Wei Wuxian is just unwrapping some cut fruit to snack on, incredible. At least over here, there isn't a crush of people crowding around!]

Ah, it's too bad we can't just enjoy the food! It's always something... [JUMPING THROUGH HOOPS LIKE LAB RATS.]

Mm, let's see, let's see. So it looks like the point is for you to answer a question and see if it matches up with mine? And then we switch? [He read through the guide like once on the carriage ride over and immediately discarded it because he Does Not Care.]

We can just make up our own questions, right? Like... "what's my favorite type of food" or something, yes?

[okitactless]

Sure, let's do that. [WHAT COULD GO WRONG. They've been sharing a cabin for a while now, so surely this won't go too badly?

Oh, but Angry Man is still upset with them, isn't he. It's not like anyone is coming this way, though... oh, maybe he's lonely?

Craning his neck to poke his fluffy lil head up over the counter]

Would you like to join us?

[givethemhell]

[The man just barks at him to clear away from the front of the stand, and Wei Wuxian tugs on Yasusada's hem.]

Come back here, just leave him be. He's just cranky. [He's just trying to do his job???] I'll give you the first question! What's my favorite color?

[IS THAT TOO EASY TO COUNT.]

[okitactless]

[Wow, what a grump. See if anybody offers him some delicious snacks.

ANYWAY. Game time.]

Hmm, is it black?

[givethemhell]

[NO SNACKS FOR HIM. All snacks for these two instead. Or Wei Wuxian at the rate he's going through his fruits, wow.]

Ah... Hm. I'll count it!

[This question shouldn't have even been allowed since he doesn't have a true favorite color outside of something sappy like the purple of Yunmeng or the color of Lan Wangji's eyes. Disgostin.]

Your turn!

[okitactless]

[GET OUT THIS IS THE WRONG GAME I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT WANGXIAN!!!! Instead of their stupid asses, here is Yasusada, who thinks very hard before he brightens up.]

I've got it! [!!!] What's my name?

[THAT DOESN'T COUNT AT ALL]

[givethemhell]

[TOO LATE WANGXIAN HAUNTS US.

Just like this question will haunt me, aki, personally, forever. Wei Wuxian blinks...]

...Is - this a trick question? [PLEASE!!! THERE'S NO WAY THIS WORKS.]

[okitactless]

Eh, you don't know it?

[Please he's trying so hard to give you an easy one]

[givethemhell]

Yamatonokami Yasusada...?

[HE'S. HE LOOKS SO LOST. WHAT. IS THIS A TRICK. IS THIS A TRAP. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN.]

[okitactless]

Right!

[HE'S PROUD OF YOU, FAKE SANIWA-KUN]

[givethemhell]

[WH. HE'S TIRED.]

Surely something like that doesn't count...! That would be like me asking you what color my hair is!

[YAMS THEY'RE NEVER GONNA ESCAPE THIS AIRPORT. They're going to be stuck here picnicking in front of the Delta Airlines help desk for the rest of their lives while the game plays on without them.]

[okitactless]

Why wouldn't it count? It doesn't say they have to be difficult questions.

[This game needs better rules?? And hey, if they're stuck here long enough, maybe everyone will leave and they can get to the airplane and escape forever.

But, fine!!]

Hm, then... what's the curvature of my blade?

[That's,,]

[givethemhell]

[People are definitely giving them some funky looks, that's true... But they're also so soul-sapped from dealing with Delta that they don't even bother trying to confront these two idiots.

Also, he's squinting at Yasusada. He can't tell........ if he's doing this on purpose or not... This is some sort of karmic punishment, isn't it?]

How am I supposed to know that, ah?

[okitactless]

[IF ONLY HE WAS DOING IT ON PURPOSE but no, he just doesn't understand why Wei Wuxian isn't satisfied with any of his questions.]

Isn't it obvious?

[Helpfully holds up his (sheathed) sword. They're going to get kicked out.]

[givethemhell]

[They're really going to get kicked out SECURITY IS EYEING THEM. ONE MIGHT BE HEADING THEIR WAY. Wei Wuxian just squints at the sheathed blade, head cocked to the side.]

No! What do you think I am? I'm not actually a sword, like I said! I can't really tell at a glance - especially when it's still in its sheath!

[okitactless]

You're being way too picky...

[They're on track for a divorce already...]

Fine, fine, what's Kanesada's full name! You have to know that one, he says it all the time.

[givethemhell]

[A DIVORCE ON THEIR HONEYMOON they're gonna set and break all kinds of records today.]

I do know that one! [Though he pauses for a second, because his memory is bad and 80% of his sword name brainspace has been taken up by Higekiri's 50 fake names.]

Kanesada, Kanesada... Izu...mi-- Ah, right, right! Izuminokami Kanesada!

[He looks very proud of himself and his sad memory.]

[okitactless]

Why does his name count but mine doesn't?

[He is not impressed with this game. Sparring would be better? Please?]

Your turn.

[givethemhell]

[STOP WITH THE SPARRING WHY DO ALL OF HIS SUPPOSED-TO-BE-CUTE-OUTINGS END WITH SPARRING.]

I hear yours almost every day, that's why. [YAMS.] Let's see... What's my favorite animal in the petting zoo?

[This question also doesn't count because the answer is "all".]
