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!

[bittybat]

As if I have time to concern myself with marital procedure.

[DON'T CALL HIM OUT. You think his parents ever got married? Pah.]

It sounds like-- [WOW, BEES. There are so many fucking bees? Is this what is happening to all the bees on Earth? They are just being fucking displaced into an alternate world. He exchanges a withered look with Dick.] Hopefully, this hive isn't aggressive.

[unpredicktable]

Think we can bring these back to Earth to save the bees?

[ he is so tired. how is this a "can't believe it's not butterfly" garden. he expected moths or something. ]

Let's try to stay clear of the swarms and we should be fine. They're bees, not wasps, and-- neither of us are allergic.

[ he's. assuming. unfortunately, bees are attracted to bright colors, and dick's bunny spouse is purple, so they will absolutely follow them around to circle it. it's fine. ]

[bittybat]

If we tie them to a string.

[Why wasn't it Can't Beelieve It's Not Butterfly? Mods?]

So you think. Fine. You still have questions to answer, Grayson. If you can keep from going into surprise anaphylactic shock. [He browses the questions. Gross.] Who won the last argument the two of you had?

My vote is definitely Bunnibel.

[unpredicktable]

Wrong. We're too in love to ever argue. [ obviously? dick is bringing them over to a ... less... bee covered corner, sitting down on the grass and placing the bunny next to him. let's enjoy our romantic picnic surrounded by bees, damian, wow. ] Give me some of those questions, would you?

[bittybat]

Tt.

[With no real fear of the bees, Damian follows right behind Dick's heels like a shadow. He hands over the newlywed guide, having already memorized several of the questions. You know. Bats.]

Here. Spare me any disgusting ones.

[unpredicktable]

[ it's dick's turn to start reading, and after a bit he ... makes a face. ]

That's looking like a tall order. [ what is UP with these. right, the sixties. he squints ] Let's see... Do they prefer a hot cooked breakfast, cold cereal, or nothing at all?

[ he looks at his bunny plushie ]

I'm pretty sure rabbits don't eat cooked food.

[ please pretend like you are playing together, assholes, you're going to live in the bee garden forever ]

[bittybat]

[Damian is already writing on his own white board while Dick is asking the question. He sets it turned away in front of Bunnibel, and the poor rabbit plush is consumed by white board.]

Is that your final answer?

[Damian tsks, and then he flips over the white board as if the bunny had... written it...]

My hubby's carrot.

[What did he just say, though? He thinks he's funny is all.]

[unpredicktable]

[ laughing only encourages bad behavior, which is why dick raises a hand to his mouth to try to pretend he is stern. ]

Damian. Putting horrible words in Bunnibel's mouth. [ among other things. ] Shame on you. [ this is absolutely not believable, but he nods before patting the bunny on the head ] I know you don't mean to talk so boldly about us in public, sweetie.

[bittybat]

[Stop, don't even snicker. Damian already feels encouraged because Dick finds it amusing.]

Another one then. Even though that was a completely fair answer.

[He's ready to answer on behalf of the bunny.]

[unpredicktable]

[ I'm sorry dick loves terrible children it's a curse. he's skimming through questions and bites back a smile-- ]

Okay. Finish this sentence: "The last gift I gave to my spouse was"?

[ he's apparently taking this very seriously, seeing as he's writing his own answer this time to Compare ]

[bittybat]

[Damian pauses thoughtfully after erasing the bunny's board, and then starts writing an answer, careful of any of the thousand damn bees who try to crawl over the expanse of the board.

Then he puts the board down in front of Bunnibel, turned to show the answer.]

Carrot cake.

[unpredicktable]

[ dick turns his board around. it reads "my carrot"

:D? ]

I think it's close enough?

[ why would he do this ]

[bittybat]

Grayson.

[HE HATES DICK SO MUCH AAAAAAAA. Dick just scolded him for being a gremlin! This is where he gets it from. Damian visibly closes his eyes for a second or so. He's ten, and he's exhausted.]

Those two aren't in any way relatable. But fine.

[He thinks about the questions a moment, bringing the board back. Is "If your spouse were to describe you as a superhero, who would it be?" cheating? He starts writing an answer on the white board.]

"Where did you take your spouse on your first date?"

[unpredicktable]

[ it was a very real gremlin scolding which is why dick was a gremlin right back. tho, hm. Dick writes something quickly after thinking about it before turning it around. ]

"IHOP".

[ dick, you absolutely aren't funny. ]

[bittybat]

[Dick, you are absolutely NOT funny at all. Damian turns around the board, face flat.

It says, "IHOP."]

Why didn't you take Bunnibel to the circus?

[unpredicktable]

[ he's hilarious, proof: damian guessed right. though his question makes him pause, blinking ]

I try not to drop my backstory on people on the first date. [ he looks a little wry. he tries not to drop his backstory much at all, unlike damian "I WAS A TEST TUBE BABY" wayne, apparently. ] Plus, I wouldn't want to intimidate her with hare-raising thrills.

[ god, kill him ]

[bittybat]

[STOP! HE DOESN'T CARE IF PEOPLE KNOW HE'S A TEST TUBE BABY, HE JUST DOESN'T UNDERSTAND YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT TO PEOPLE!

He groans and rolls his eyes.]

Grayson. I hope the bees sting you.

[unpredicktable]

[ PLEASE LEARN SOCIAL SKILLS FROM PEOPLE NOT BRUCE WAYNE OR TALIA AL GHUL

dick goes :3c ]

Nah, Bunnibel would defend me, obviously. She's great with bees. [ he can say that because there are about ten on her at all times, just kind of. trying to find invisible pollen. bees are so fucking dumb ]

[bittybat]

[What the fuck, do not :3c him?]

She--

[Slowly, Damian glances at the bunny. Oh. She's covered in bees. Horrible.] Grayson, the recipient of your eternal devotion is being swarmed by bees. [Dick, you are the worst husband in the world?]

Your turn.

[unpredicktable]

Yeah, they like bright colors. It'll be fine. [ he very gently moves bunnibel to dismiss some bees. bees, please. this is not about you. anyway he picks one that is relatively easy, for cheating purposes: ] Is your spouse a morning or night person?

[ wow what a cop-out ]

[bittybat]

[Damian simply gives Dick a look. It feels like he's being toyed with, honestly. He's tempted to be mean and write something off the wall, but...

Begrudgingly, he turns the white board over after he's written his answer. Dick is up all night all the time.]

This means Bunnibel is a morning person, doesn't it?

[unpredicktable]

[ sometimes you just want easy answers, damian, god. not everything is a trap. night was clearly the right one, but damian's question seems to catch dick off guard ]

What, like... opposites attract?

[bittybat]

Yes. Isn't that what everyone says?

[Everything is a trap, including babysitting a ten year old in a garden filled with too many bees.]

If Bunnibel isn't a morning person, you wouldn't have someone to scold you about taking the morning for granted.

[unpredicktable]

Well... It's true for some things, but you can't have a lasting relationship if you're too incompatible for one another. [ babysitting is the real trap, because dick has to think about it. ] And I think rabbits are crepuscular, technically speaking.

[ this is a stupid conversation ]

[bittybat]

I'm aware, Grayson.

[HE WAS TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, BE NORMAL LIKE EVERYONE WANTS? And then Dick just continues to be a Bat with him. This is why he's the way he is?]

I suppose this explains why Mother and Father are incompatible as well.
