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!

[ drama queen...

ash accepts the peace offering, and sticks the groom cap on his head so he can examine the cork. ]

So we're just supposed to have a picnic, and answer questions about each other? That sounds suspiciously easy. What's the catch?

[survivaltricks]

[a thoughtful hum, and Akira digs through their picnic basket for a picnic blanket. . .! it has holes in it. it's fine]

Penalties for getting them wrong?

[voidbreaker]

[ they're young, they gotta marry on a budget. it's fine. ]

The penalty's probably death.

[ c'mon bride of his, time to find somewhere to siddown and get this done with. ash pulls out the guide book and---


--- huh. ]

... Any of this make sense to you?

[survivaltricks]

[it's a PICTURESQUE PARK so Akira chooses a nice. . . dead grassy spot beneath a tree!! the park is apparently on a budget too, it's fine. he spreads the blanket on the ground and places the basket in the center before meandering over to peer at the guide book from over Ash's shoulder--]

[. . .]

Ancient runes. . .

[voidbreaker]

[ sometimes you gotta cut corners. ]

Wonder if this is what the language is here or something. This is like last week... [ when he couldn't read shit and it was tiring. ]

So... we ask a question about ourselves, the other has to answer it. That's the gist of this game they've set up? [ his eyes are scanning the page ] Are we just answering whatever, or do you have to answer the wife questions while you're in that hat?

[ it's important to clarify. ]

[survivaltricks]

Rule of funny. Some things here are legible while others aren't. It probably just depends on the context.

[he takes the guide book from Ash and just yeets it over his shoulder. WE DON'T NEED IT]

[and then, in the most deadpan voice he can manage]

I'll answer anything you'd like to know about me, sweetheart.

[voidbreaker]

[ Immediately: ] I'm filing for divorce.

[ he's reading over the list and after a moment or two, in which he does not acknowledge the guidebook has been yote because that is what it deserves, he begins: ]

What is your husband’s favorite hobby?

[survivaltricks]

[immediately, as he digs through the picnic basket]

Gambling.

[voidbreaker]

[ hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. ]

Wanna be more specific with the type?

[ and d'ya wanna give him a sandwich? ]

[survivaltricks]

[pulls out a droopy ham and cheese sandwich and hands it to Ash]

. . . dice???

[voidbreaker]

[ delicious. ]

And here I thought you knew me.

[survivaltricks]

I knew it. It's forks.

["delicious" indeed. Akira hasn't yet noticed the family of bears hiding behind a line of trees, waiting for a chance to snatch those soggy sandwiches for themselves]

"If your husband wrote a book about your family what would the title be?"

[voidbreaker]

[ yeah, those bears are blending with the forest right now. the tie really helps. ]

Hey, maybe I'm only giving you a half point for not saying "cards".

[ ... uhhh.... ]

If it's not a cat pun, I'm really divorcing you. "My Famnyaly"?

[survivaltricks]

[yogi is STEALTH MODE]

. . .

"My Purrfect Famnyaly."

[IT WAS CLOSE]

[voidbreaker]

Do we count that? And I'll count "gambling" even though it wasn't narrowed down.

[ how are all these bears so stealthful. they're definitely creeping in though. ]

"Does your husband prefer pizza, wings, steak, or one of each?"

[survivaltricks]

[even Akira doesn't hear the silence paws creeping across the grass towards them, giant fluffy bear bodies pressed close to the ground]

I'm counting it. Look at how well-matched we are, snookums.

[why all these pet names]

And I'm going to say one of each.

[voidbreaker]

[ why all these pet names indeed. ]

If we were so well-matched sweetheart, you'd have known it was steak.

[ whomp whomp. he's reaching for the champagne for failure drinks because this game is probably waaaay more fun with some alcohol. ]

[survivaltricks]

[a snort, and he flips through the game guide for another question. he doesn't seem too bothered!!]

Well, we can't win them all.

[a cheeky smile and he adjusts the hat atop his head]

"What will your husband say that he loves about you the most??"

[THE BEARS ARE GETTING CLOSER]

[voidbreaker]

The fact we both run on the same brand of chaos and I'm willing to roll with your ideas to enact as much chaos as possible?

[ smile.

he finally picks up the champagne bottle and twists the wire off the cork so he can pop the cork on it -- he aims it into the trees and... well. there's a startled yelping growl as the cork hits something hanging out in there. ]

... ??

[survivaltricks]

[-- well]

[uh]

[. . .]

[Akira slowly turns around, his half-eaten sandwich in hand, to stare right at Yogi and Yogi's fuzzy frowly family of four]

[. . . . . . . .]

Oh.

[OH????]

[voidbreaker]

[ hm.



ash just takes a swig straight from the bottle. ]

Throw a sandwich at them. Maybe they'll be satiated and wander off.

[ ....


it's all bad, really. ]

[survivaltricks]

Don't they tell you not to feed the bears?

[whoever "they" are]

[but he is going to pick a bit of crust off of the side of his sandwich and toss it towards the bear family. THERE U GO]

[voidbreaker]

Yeah, but they probably didn't have a family of bears sniffing around their picnic when they said that.

[ enjoy your crusts bear-chans. the bears are sniffing the foods curiously. they do not charge in for more. ]

[survivaltricks]

[a snort of amusement, and Akira just watches while Yogi and company chow down. LITTLE DO THEY KNOW, THE SANDWICH WILL NOT BE ENOUGH. . .]

[for now though. . .]







This is the most romantic honeymoon I've ever been on.

[it's the only honeymoon he's ever been on]

[voidbreaker]

Wow your standards are low.

[ he holds out the bottle to akira -- drink? ]

Anyway, did I get it right?
