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!

[wisterin]

[ They are going to be here for a While because Giyuu is Giyuu, and they must eat sometime.

He's not an invalid, but he has to write on his dry erase board sometime. She's just thinking ahead. She puts a hand to her mouth in feigned shock before she takes the basket from him. ]

My, when did you learn how to say thank you?

[ Murder games truly change a person. Wow! ]

Let's find a place to sit for a moment. There's something I'd like to do.

[ What's that about a tour? Who cares about that right now? ]

[baori]

[ true enough... especially when he's like this. ]

I've known how to say thank you.

[ hasn't he thanked her before? he could have sworn he has in the past, at least on other time. he has had to, right?? while he's contemplating the merits of that, he'll give a nod and proceed to find a place to sit...

a bench comes into view and he'll head over there. ]

[wisterin]

[ This is why he gets bullied all the time. Shinobu wasn't even trying to hide how insincere she was. She doesn't know where to begin, so she doesn't even start. He's hopeless.

Once he sits, she sets the basket down and walks behind him, gathering his hair in her hands. ]

I'm tying your hair back.

[baori]

[ oh.

honestly, he should have asked more questions before he sat down especially when she starts gathering his hair into her hands. he had pretty much given up on being able to pull his hair back into a ponytail after he lost his arm, so have someone do his hair for him is weird. he hasn't had anyone do it before and having that person be shinobu is even weirder.

... ]

Use this.

[ he'll raise his wrist to her as it sports his scrunchie's new location. unless shinobu brought something else with her? ]

[wisterin]

[ Yeah, he should have, but it's too late now. She gently pushes his one hand down. ]

No, that's fine. I'm not testing the one second it won't be on your wrist.

[ He won't see it and it likely clashes with his image (not like a bunny scrunchie doesn't), but after she combs his hair with her fingers, she pulls it through a butterfly hair ornament in the colors of his haori. ]

All right, let's get this game over with. Let's see how well you know me.

[baori]

[ what the fuck is this ara....... COMING FOR MY LIFE LIKE THIS? yeah, he won't be able to notice it and even when he does, he's not going to take it out. it's an act of kindness, right? he'll realize it later, so i guess this will be how he looks for the rest of camp.

terrible. ]

It's just five questions total, right?

[ because he's aware enough that he knows like. nothing about her. when has he paid attention to her? who knows.... ]

[wisterin]

[ why is he so stupid

Shinobu counts on it, though, and she takes a seat on the bench next to him. ]

We can start with five.

[ ... Hopefully, they won't need more. ]

Is your writing legible with your left hand? You can simply tell me the answer, and I'll tell you if you're right or wrong, if not.

[ She stares down at all these silly questions and goes for a hopefully easy one. ]

Do I prefer silver or gold?

[baori]

[ please don't ask questions i can't answer.

but five. they're going to need more than five but it's fine. they (he) can dream that they'll somehow many it through this. he'll take a moment consider both questions and... well. ]

It's better if I don't write anything down.

[ unless she wants to read really crappy kanji and furigana. now as for silver or gold... he really has a 50/50 shot at this so— ]

Silver?

[wisterin]

[ She's gobsmacked. ]

You're right.

[ He had a 50/50 shot, but she's still surprised he got it right. INCREDIBLE. ]

[baori]

[ oh.

he got it right?

huh.

well.

uh.... they can both be shocked... please just don't ask him why he guessed silver. it's a stupid reason. ]

[wisterin]

[ That means it has to be asked. ]

Why did you guess silver?

[baori]

Your sister's haori is white and so is your scabbard.

[ the haori part makes zero sense since she was hardly going to change something so dear to her, but the combo of having her scabbard being white helps? she wears a lot of white. so...silver?

THIS WAS HIS THOUGHT PROCESS. ]

[wisterin]

... Is this what people call arriving at the right answer with all the wrong reasoning?

[ Amazing.

Well, he got the answer correct, so it's onto the next question. ]

What is the one thing I would change about myself?

[ This one should be easy. ]

[baori]

[ is.

is she insulting him for one? and is she going easy on him on purpose for another? before they shared their memories he would have been clueless to this but— ]

You want to be able to decapitate a demon's head.

[ a particular demon's head in general but he knows how that worked out. ]

[wisterin]

[ i fucking forgot i fed him the answer

anyway

yeah he got it

Maybe they really won't?? Be stuck here for long?? Incredible. ]

You wouldn't have known this before.

[baori]

[ this is what you get for traumatizing giyuu.

you say this now but this is still giyuu here and there are over 220 questions that can be picked from. pray for giyuu. ]

No, I wouldn't have.

[ and somehow he thinks it would have been better that way. ]

That's three answers.

[wisterin]

Not for the game, so it doesn't count. You have to answer one more correctly.

[ Or she does. ]

What is the one household chore I'd say you'd do better than I do?

[baori]

[ ah.

here is a question that he doesn't even have a way to talk around. laundry? cleaning? is it a particular cleaning thing that he would be better at than her? is cooking a chore? cooking seems like something you just do than a chore.

he. uh??? ]

Dusting.

[ he doesn't even sound convinced with this. ]

[wisterin]

You're wrong.

[ But she knew he'd get it wrong since her answer is unfair. ]

There isn't one I'd say you were better at that I am.

[baori]

[ somehow. even though she didn't say anything unkind to him, he finds it the slightest bit offensive. just. a little. ]

Should I ask a question?

[wisterin]

[ He should find it offensive, but she's also (kanae voice) perfect housewife material, so she's not wrong. ]

Please go ahead.

[baori]

[ he'll look through the list and....there are a lot of weird questions here. ones that he doesn't even understand so he goes with one that's rather straight-forward. ]

Which one of us can better deal with a stressful situation?

[ does giyuu even know the answer to his own question??? ]

[wisterin]

[ Please know the answer to your own question, Giyuu.... ]

We're both Pillars, and it depends on the type of stressful situation. Most times, it'll be me.

[ Nine times out of ten, it's going to be Shinobu. ]

[baori]

[ no.

he will not, but he will demonstrate the single best thing that any man can learn in a normal heterosexual relationship: ]

Correct.

[ he would argue for himself since he really doesn't get stressed out over anything that they do—they were both pushed to their limits with their most recent memories—but giyuu will let her have it.

besides, it's apathy vs actually being able to assess the situation. ]

[wisterin]

[ Is shutting down emotions dealing with an issue? Please remember how he almost got arrested that one time because he didn't know the right thing to say.

But Shinobu is surprised again. ]

I thought you'd say yourself.
